The visual photo of BABYMONSTER's new digital single 'SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA' has been released. YG ENTERTAINMENT published the visual photo through their official blog on the 28th. Unlike the hip mood shown in their previous activities, the image suggests a new musical world. The first protagonists Asa and Chiquita radiate a refined yet lovely charm. Asa has transformed with long black hair, while Chiquita adds elegance with a bright red hairstyle. Their visual synergy, along with their captivating gazes and confident aura, stands out. Additionally, a teacup set object that intuitively recalls the song title catches the eye. YG previously stated, 'As the title suggests, it will be BABYMONSTER's 'summer song' that refreshingly blows away the heat.' Interest from fans worldwide is growing for the visuals of other members and the new music and performances they will showcase. BABYMONSTER will embark on their second world tour, covering a total of 18 cities and 27 performances, including 6 cities in Korea and Japan (Kobe, Fukuoka, Yokohama, Chiba, Nagoya, Osaka), 8 cities in Asia (Manila, Macau, Jakarta, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Taipei, Singapore, Hong Kong), and 3 cities in Oceania (Auckland, Melbourne, Sydney). Additional schedules for Europe, North America, and South America are also planned.
