The performance of ‘CLIK CLAK’, one of the double title tracks by the group Baby Monster, has been revealed for the first time.

On the 3rd, YG Entertainment posted ‘BABYMONSTER - ’CLIK CLAK‘ PERFORMANCE VIDEO’ on their official blog. The first comeback stage where you can fully appreciate the detailed dance lines and the entire performance of the seven members has been unveiled.

As YG‘s own production video system was in operation, the directing that maximizes the song and the natural charms of the members is the best. Baby Monster, who has perfectly melted into the original hip-hop mood, was fully captured through bold black and white color processing and sensational camera movements.

The ‘CLIK CLAK’ performance was completed with the help of world-class choreographers Rie Hata and Kinjaz. Baby Monster completed this with relaxed gestures, flowing dynamic control, and colorful expressions to make it even more appealing. The point choreography that wittily expressed the lyrics also continuously caught people’s attention.

The synergy that comes from Baby Monster‘s unique teen charm meeting YG’s signature hip-hop vibe is also extraordinary. The scene in the latter half where they explode with restrained energy and perform a dynamic group dance is a part that makes us realize once again their skills that have been reborn as a complete form.

Baby Monster has previously proven their capabilities with perfect live performance skills on various stages, and created a reverse run legend with the official debut album title ‘SHEESH’. With this full-length comeback, great expectations are high for their future activities as they are scheduled to actively promote the double title tracks ‘DRIP’, ‘CLIK CLAK’, and the follow-up track ‘Love In My Heart’.

Baby Monster released their first full-length album [DRIP] on the 1st. The album ranked at the top of the iTunes Worldwide Album Chart and also topped the Japanese Line Music Album Top 100 real-time chart. On China‘s QQ Music’s ‘Rise Chart’, ‘Popularity Chart’, ‘New Releases Chart’, and ‘Trendy Index Chart’, the double title tracks ‘DRIP’, ‘CLIK CLAK’, and other included tracks also took the top spots.

The music video is also standing out on various global indices. The ‘DRIP’ music video rose to the top of the ‘Most Viewed Videos in 24 Hours’ as soon as it was released, and the pre-released ‘CLIK CLAK’ ranked in the TOP 10 of the global YouTube daily popularity chart for three consecutive days. They are continuing their upward trend in popularity with 28.7 million and 33 million views respectively.
