TIMELINE
The journey
ORIGIN
YG's next-gen build
2022 — 2023
YG spent years assembling BABYMONSTER as its first new girl group since BLACKPINK, teasing trainees individually and stoking 'next BLACKPINK' expectations. The multinational lineup — Korean, Thai and Japanese members — was pitched on raw vocal and rap talent rather than a single concept.
DEBUT
Batter Up debut
2023 — 2024
The group debuted with the digital single Batter Up in November 2023, initially as six after member Ahyeon paused for health reasons. The launch drew massive views on YG's brand power alone, even before the full lineup was settled.

BREAKTHROUGH
Sheesh & full seven
2024 — 2024
Ahyeon rejoined to complete the seven-member lineup, and the first mini Babymons7er delivered Sheesh — a hard, hooky breakout that became the group's signature and a genuine chart and streaming hit. This is where BABYMONSTER turned hype into results.
Anchor track: Sheesh
GLOBAL
Drip & first album
2024 — 2025
The first full album Drip and a debut world tour scaled the group up internationally, posting strong global streaming and selling out arena dates fast for a rookie act. BABYMONSTER established itself as YG's clear flagship girl group going forward.

STADIUM
Choom & world tour
2026
The third EP Choom arrived in May 2026 atop a staggered four-MV rollout, leading into the group's biggest world tour yet — reaching South America, Europe and Oceania beyond the usual Asia–North America circuit. A fast escalation from rookie to global touring act.
