BABYMONSTER's 'SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA' crossed 100 million YouTube views on June 25 at approximately 1:42 PM KST — achieving the BABYMONSTER Sugar Honey Ice Tea 100 million views milestone in just 17 days and 15 hours from the single's June 8 release, making it the group's 12th official music video to reach the mark. The milestone arrived one day before BABYMONSTER kicked off the Choom World Tour with three sold-out opening nights at Seoul's KSPO Dome on June 26–28, giving the group's most commercially explosive era both a streaming landmark and a live debut in the same 48-hour window.
BABYMONSTER SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA 100M VIEWS: WHAT 17 DAYS MEANS
'SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA' topped YouTube's trending videos worldwide and the global daily music videos chart on its release day. The 17-day run to 100 million represents a pace consistent with how BABYMONSTER's recent videos have performed, but the context elevates the figure. The single arrived without fanfare as a standalone summer track rather than a main comeback release, making its speed to 100 million a reflection of organic pull rather than a coordinated promotional push. For a six-member lineup recording without Rami — who remains on a health hiatus — the numbers confirm that the group's streaming traction operates independently of its full roster.
BABYMONSTER is now one of the fastest K-pop acts to accumulate 12 official MVs past the 100 million mark — a catalog depth that speaks to consistent digital performance across the group's relatively short history since their 2023 debut. Where most second-year acts are still building their first wave of high-view videos, BABYMONSTER has reached a point where the question is not whether a new MV will cross 100 million but how quickly it will get there.
CHOOM WORLD TOUR OPENS: SEOUL KSPO DOME TO OSAKA DOME AND BEYOND
The Choom World Tour opened June 26 at Seoul's KSPO Dome with the first of three consecutive nights — the largest solo concert undertaking in BABYMONSTER's career to date. The Asia-Pacific leg follows from Seoul into Japan (Kobe, Fukuoka, Yokohama, Chiba, Nagoya, and Osaka), Southeast Asia (Manila, Macau, Jakarta, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore), Taipei, and Oceania (Auckland, Melbourne, Sydney, and Hong Kong). The Japan stretch contains a landmark moment: solo dome shows at Kyocera Dome Osaka — the group's first dome performances, a venue milestone most K-pop acts spend years working toward.
The tour spans 18 stops and 29 performances across all confirmed dates, with North American, South American, and European legs announced but not yet fully scheduled — those announcements are expected to extend BABYMONSTER's Choom campaign into 2027. YG Entertainment has positioned the Choom tour in the same conversation as BLACKPINK's touring legacy, and the scale — dome concerts in year three, nearly 30 performances across three continents — lends that framing credibility.
