#SHOWBIZ: Over 10bil YouTube views: BABYMONSTER sets fastest K-pop girl group record

SEOUL - The popular K-pop girl group BABYMONSTER has shattered a record by amassing over 10 billion views on their official YouTube channel, marking the swiftest achievement among K-pop girl groups. YG Entertainment reports that the channel surpassed the 10 billion-view milestone around three years and eight months after its inception in December 2022.

This accomplishment makes BABYMONSTER the quickest K-pop girl group to achieve this feat on a single official channel and also places them as the second K-pop girl group to cross the 10 billion-view threshold, following BLACKPINK. This surge in global digital presence can be attributed to the group's highly popular music videos, with "SHEESH" amassing over 410 million views, "DRIP" reaching 400 million, and "BATTER UP" garnering 340 million views.

A total of 17 uploads on their channel have crossed the 100 million-view mark. Beyond music videos and performance clips, the channel's view count has been bolstered by behind-the-scenes footage and self-produced content. Regularly releasing music and performance material via YouTube, BABYMONSTER's activities are overseen by YG Entertainment executive producer Yang Hyun Suk.

The group had previously set a YouTube milestone by becoming the fastest K-pop girl group to reach 10 million subscribers within one year and five months following their debut, now boasting 13 million subscribers, making them the third K-pop girl group to achieve this feat. BABYMONSTER are currently on their second world tour, the 2026-27 BABYMONSTER WORLD TOUR [CHOOM], which commenced in Seoul in June, spanning 18 cities and 29 concerts across Asia, Oceania, South America, North America, and Europe, further solidifying their international presence.
