On February 28 (local time), BABYMONSTER held their 2025 BABYMONSTER First World Tour 'Hello Monsters in North America' concert in Newark, USA.

Amid explosive cheers, BABYMONSTER kicked off the show with a powerful performance of 'Drip', backed by a grand band sound. They then thrilled the audience with a diverse setlist featuring their signature hits like 'Batter Up' and 'Sheesh', solo performances from each member, and covers of songs by YG Entertainment’s senior group, 2NE1.

Proving their status as "monster rookies," BABYMONSTER impressed with their confident stage presence and powerful live vocals—almost unbelievable for a rookie group. Despite their high-energy choreography, they showcased unwavering vocal strength, exuding confidence as they immersed themselves in the music.

Fans responded with deafening cheers and waves of light sticks, matching the group’s explosive energy. BABYMONSTER expressed their excitement, saying, "This is our first concert in the U.S., and it feels like a dream. We’re incredibly grateful for all the love you’ve given us. We hope today is as special for you as it is for us."

The Prudential Center in Newark, where the concert took place, and the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, their next stop, are both major arenas with over 10,000 seats. Reaching arena-level venues within a year of their official debut, BABYMONSTER has solidified their position as a rising global act.

Starting from the KSPO Dome in Seoul and expanding their reach to the U.S., BABYMONSTER now sets their sights on Asia. Their upcoming tour stops include Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Ho Chi Minh City, Bangkok, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, and Taipei, bringing them even closer to their fans worldwide.
