This year, BABYMONSTER is holding its first world tour and is set for a North American tour from late August to September. They appeared on the MOUNTAIN STAGE at the Osaka Expo Memorial Park for 'SUMMER SONIC 2025', captivating the audience with an impressive stage. The MOUNTAIN STAGE was packed at 6 PM, and as the audience eagerly awaited BABYMONSTER's appearance, the introduction VTR featuring the same opening as their ongoing world tour began, heating up the crowd. 'Osaka, I've missed you! Are you ready?' called Ahyeon, and the opening kicked off with their signature songs 'DRIP' and 'BATTER UP'. Luka greeted the audience, mixing in Kansai dialect, saying, 'I'm really happy to perform at SUMMER SONIC for the second consecutive year!' Other members also exchanged greetings with bits of Kansai dialect, creating a homely atmosphere. They then performed three songs from their first full album 'DRIP', including 'BILLIONAIRE', the double title track 'CLIK CLAK', and the hit 'SHEESH'. 'It's really, really fun!' (Parita) and 'It's the best!' (Roka) said the members, soothing the audience with their active performance and Kansai dialect during MC segments, drawing everyone into BABYMONSTER's charm. After that, when Chiquita called out, 'HOT SAUCE Let's Go!', they finally debuted their latest song 'HOT SAUCE', released on July 1, in Japan. The venue erupted in cheers, and many fans were already mixing despite it being the first performance, as the completed new song enveloped the venue. 'I'm really happy so many people came to see us!' said Asa during the MC, and they closed the 'SUMMER SONIC 2025' set with last year's summer song 'FOREVER' and the audience jumping together to 'BATTER UP' (Remix Ver.). This was BABYMONSTER's first performance in Japan in about four months since their '2025 BABYMONSTER 1st WORLD TOUR <HELLO MONSTERS>'. They released the digital single 'HOT SAUCE' on July 1 and announced the '“LOVE MONSTERS” JAPAN FAN CONCERT 2025' to be held from November to December. They are sure to deliver another hot stage.
