The group Baby Monster has signaled a flashy start to their first world tour since their debut with a lightning-fast entry into the KSPO DOME in Seoul.

According to their agency YG Entertainment, Baby Monster will be holding the ‘2025 BABYMONSTER 1st WORLD TOUR IN SEOUL’ concert at the KSPO DOME in Olympic Park, Bangi-dong, Seoul on January 25th and 26th.

With this, Baby Monster is drawing attention as they will be setting foot in KSPO DOME, known as the ‘Mecca of K-pop’, in less than a year since their official debut. It is highly unusual for a rookie girl group to hold their first concert at a venue of such overwhelming scale.

Above all, as this is a signal flare announcing Baby Monster‘s full-fledged overseas activities, the response from fans around the world is enthusiastic. This world tour is expected to see fierce ticketing competition, as it will feature a setlist including their first full-length album [DRIP], as well as Baby Monster’s solid live performance and unrivaled stage capabilities.

After Seoul, Baby Monster will expand their tour globally, including to New Jersey, USA in February and Los Angeles in March. The rest of their schedule is still under wraps, but since YG stated that they “plan to meet as many fans as possible,” they are expected to fan the flames of their popularity by visiting various regions, not just North America.

‘2025 BABYMONSTER 1st WORLD TOUR IN SEOUL’ will be available on Interpark Ticket. Pre-sales will be from 8 PM on December 3rd to 11:59 PM on December 4th for MONSTIEZ MEMBERSHIP subscribers, and general sales for non-members will begin at 6 PM on December 6th.

Baby Monster released their first full-length album [DRIP] on the 1st and have been receiving good responses from music fans through various platforms such as music shows, radio, and YouTube. They will continue to communicate with fans until the end of the year with double title tracks ‘DRIP’ and ‘CLIK CLAK’ as well as follow-up song ‘Love In My Heart’.
