Babymonster, with their first Japanese tour earlier this year attracting 150,000 attendees, solidified their presence as the ‘next-generation global girl group’ by drawing 100,000 fans to their first fan concert in the second half of the year.
On the 6th and 7th of this month, Babymonster held the ‘BABYMONSTER [LOVE MONSTERS] JAPAN FAN CONCERT 2025’ over two days at Hyogo Ziraion Arena Kobe. This finale event was sold out both days, highlighting the group’s growth with a larger arena compared to last year’s Kobe fan meeting.
Their first fan concert in Japan took place in four arena-level cities: Chiba, Tokyo, Nagoya, and Kobe, with a total of eight sessions, attracting 100,000 offline attendees. The Tokyo performance was broadcast live on TBS, reaching more viewers, and pop-up stores in each city showed explosive popularity with long queues.
The concert was filled with excitement from the start, with Babymonster opening with major hits like ‘WE GO UP’, ‘SHEESH’, and ‘DRIP’, exuding intense energy. Their vivid live vocals using handheld mics and dynamic performances captivated the audience, with fans’ cheers enhancing the overall live experience.
The harmony of songs, performances, and fan services was perfect. The extensive setlist included their first original Japanese song ‘Ghost’ and tracks from their mini-album [WE GO UP], accompanied by YG’s signature live band sound and special effects. Fluent Japanese communication, dance challenges, moving cars, and sign ball events added enjoyment to the concert.
Babymonster expressed gratitude, saying, “Thanks to our fans, Monsteeze, we could stand on such a big stage. We hope our music brings more happiness to your everyday life, and we’ll keep working hard for Monsteeze.” They added, “Every moment of the fan concert will remain a special memory with you all. We hope it became a good memory for you. Thank you, Monsteeze, for filling this venue.”
Having successfully finished the ‘BABYMONSTER [LOVE MONSTERS] JAPAN FAN CONCERT 2025’, Babymonster will continue to meet Asian fans with performances scheduled at Bangkok’s Impact Arena on December 27 and 28, and at Taipei Arena on January 2 and 3, 2026.
