K-pop girl group BABYMONSTER closed out a three-night homecoming run at Jamsil Indoor Stadium in Seoul, Sunday, capping the Seoul leg of its second world tour, 'CHOOM,' and leaving little doubt that this is a group built for live performance.
The world tour will take the group across five continents, including its first-ever visits to Oceania, Europe and South America in addition to previously covered Asia and North America. So far, 18 cities and 29 shows have been announced, a sharp expansion from the group's first world tour, 'HELLO MONSTERS,' last year.

Record-Breaking Numbers
The stadium was packed Sunday evening, the last of the three-day run, with fans who came specifically to hear the thing that separates BABYMONSTER from its peers — vocals that hold up completely unguarded, live. The show opened with the volume cranked on the group's latest single, 'SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA,' and the screaming started before the first chorus hit.
Members Ruka, Pharita, Asa, Ahyeon, Rora and Chiquita opened with the hip-hop track 'WE GO UP,' handheld mics up, vocals exposed with nothing to hide behind. Member Rami, who has been missing from the group's performances due to health issues, made a surprise appearance on stage.
Fan Sentiment
The crowd was electric as BABYMONSTER took to the stage, singing along to every song and dancing with reckless abandon. Fans were seen screaming and crying tears of joy as their favorite group performed their hit songs live.
One fan, who wished to remain anonymous, expressed her excitement saying, 'I've been waiting for this moment for months! BABYMONSTER always brings the energy and I'm so glad I got to experience it live.'
Global Impact
The global impact of BABYMONSTER's second world tour cannot be overstated. With its expansion into new continents, the group is expected to break even more records in the coming months.
In an era where K-pop groups are taking over the world, BABYMONSTER is solidifying its position as a force to be reckoned with. Its ability to connect with fans on a global scale and deliver high-energy performances has earned it a loyal following worldwide.
