BABYMONSTER Surpasses 1M Views on SBS Gayo Daejeon Stage

YG Entertainment confirmed on August 23 that BABYMONSTER's performance video from the 2026 SBS Gayo Daejeon Summer surpassed 1 million views on the official SBS Inkigayo YouTube channel. The rookie group secured the highest view count among all participating artists immediately following the broadcast upload.

Official confirmation came via agency metrics tracking their continued broadcast dominance. Historical precedent shows a consistent pattern for the septet across major network stages. They previously ranked first in total stage views at both the 2024 and 2025 SBS Gayo Daejeon broadcasts, while also claiming the first and second spots at the 2025 MAMA Awards with their main and special stages.

The performance featured three tracks, including their 3rd mini-album title song CHOOM, digital single SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA, and the unbroadcast track MOON. According to starnewskorea.com, the group recently completed promotions across four music videos following their recent album launch alongside appearances at Summer Sonic 2026 in Japan.

Digital metrics also show significant milestones for the group's official YouTube channel. The channel officially reached 13 million subscribers on August 21, becoming the third K-pop girl group to achieve this milestone. The group currently holds 17 videos with over 100 million views, while cumulative channel views approach 10 billion.

BABYMONSTER will expand their global footprint through their 2026-27 BABYMONSTER WORLD TOUR [CHOOM]. The scheduled itinerary spans 29 performances across 18 confirmed cities, with future tour legs scheduled to expand across North America, South America, and Europe.
