The visual puzzle pieces of BABYMONSTER's 3rd mini-album 'CHOOM' have finally been completed, raising the expectations of music fans. YG ENTERTAINMENT published '[CHOOM] VISUAL PHOTO' on their official blog today (15th). Following Asa, Chiquita, Luka, and Laura, the final members Parita and Ahyeon’s individual posters have finally unveiled all the veils. An extraordinary aura with a mysterious tension is overwhelming. Parita exudes an elegant and hip mood with a pink-toned coordination and a brown fur vest, while Ahyeon captivates with a glamorous patterned outfit and a provocative gaze. The previously released teasers have shown glimpses of BABYMONSTER's deepening charisma. In particular, the unique background of the mugshot and bold styling harmonize exquisitely, hinting at their new transformation and expanding musical world. The entire audio of the 3rd mini-album 'CHOOM' will be released on May 4 at 6 PM (May 5 in Japan). Starting with the title track 'CHOOM', the album captures exciting moments where music and dance unite, and its completion is expected to maximize the synergy of performance and sound. BABYMONSTER will begin performances in Seoul in June and embark on their 2nd world tour, visiting six cities in Japan and various locations across Asia, Oceania, Europe, North America, and South America. Notably, the 3rd Seoul performance, signaling the start of the tour, recorded a complete sell-out, proving their overwhelming ticket power.
