BABYMONSTER, who are currently holding their second world tour and are scheduled for their first dome performance in Japan in September, made their third appearance at the commemorative 25th anniversary “SUMMER SONIC 2026.” They appeared on the MARINE STAGE at ZOZO Marine Stadium and captivated the audience with an overwhelming performance. With “MONSTERS (Intro),” the opening video was projected, and the excitement at MARINE STAGE heated up even more. They made a splendid entrance with the stage of “INTRO+ WE GO UP,” where the band sound stood out, and consecutively performed two songs: “CHOOM,” the title track of their 3rd mini album “춤 (CHOOM),” released this May, and “CHOOM.” Asa said, “BABYMONSTER has appeared for three consecutive years with this year’s appearance, and we are truly grateful to be allowed to stand on such a big stage as ‘SUMMER SONIC’ for three consecutive years,” and by the time the greeting ended, blue sky could be seen through the cloudy sky, showing the power of BABYMONSTER and the audience. Next, they performed “MOON,” a track from their 3rd mini album “춤 (CHOOM),” for which the music video had been released the other day, and showed a performance with an eye-catching and memorable choreography. Furthermore, they performed “DRIP,” the title track of their 1st full album, whose performance video recently surpassed 200 million views on YouTube. Laura, who had her birthday on the day of the performance, commented, “SUMMER SONIC is really the best!” and when Ahyeon asked, “Have you all become a little fond of us?” the venue was instantly drawn into BABYMONSTER’s charm. After that, in “FOREVER,” they made full use of the main stage and performed close to the audience on the stage sides as well. In “Really Like You,” which ranked No. 1 on the TikTok Korea Music Viral 50 chart, they also showed a cute side, and the audience could not help but smile. They continued with “I LIKE IT,” a summer-like song, and showed off BABYMONSTER’s various charms. With Ruka’s call, “Everyone who always supports us MONSTIEZ, and those who are learning about us for the first time today, please spin your towels together!” and Pharita’s shout, “SUMMER SONIC, Make some noise!” the excitement in the venue reached its peak. They further raised the voltage with “HOT SAUSE,” a song that gets the crowd excited at their own concerts, and the new song “SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA,” and, together with the audience’s energy, showed an even hotter performance. With “BATTER UP” (Remix Ver.) and “SHEESH” (Remix Ver.), in which the venue and the members jumped together as one, BABYMONSTER’s “SUMMER SONIC 2026” came to a close. BABYMONSTER is currently successfully completing arena performances in Fukuoka, Kanagawa, Chiba, and Nagoya on their ongoing 2nd world tour, and will cap off their Japan performances with their first dome concert at Kyocera Dome Osaka in September. Attention should be paid to BABYMONSTER’s even more grown-up 모습 and their guaranteed performance as they stand on a dream stage. ■Performance overview “SUMMER SONIC 2026” Date: Friday, August 14, 2026 Venue: ZOZO Marine Stadium <Set list> INTRO + WE GO UP CHOOM MOON DRIP FOREVER Really Like You I LIKE IT HOT SAUSE SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA BATTER UP (REMIX) SHEESH (REMIX) ■Related site BABYMONSTER Japan official site ■Performance overview “SUMMER SONIC 2026” Date: Friday, August 14, 2026 Venue: ZOZO Marine Stadium <Set list> INTRO + WE GO UP CHOOM MOON DRIP FOREVER Really Like You I LIKE IT HOT SAUSE SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA BATTER UP (REMIX) SHEESH (REMIX) ■Related site BABYMONSTER Japan official site
