The group Baby Monster has reached the top of 10 million YouTube subscribers. It is a new record for the shortest period for a K-pop girl group.
According to YG Entertainment, the agency, the number of subscribers to Baby Monster’s official YouTube channel exceeded 10 million at 1:16 p.m. that day. It has been about a year and five months since its official debut on April 1, 2024, which is the fastest pace among K-pop girl groups ever to reach that figure as of the debut date.
As a result, Baby Monster has the third-highest number of subscribers among K-pop girl groups. It is a very unusual achievement for a new girl group that has just entered its second year of debut. It gives a glimpse of YouTube’s influence at the center of the global music market and their global fandom’s expansion speed.
This is the result of attracting new subscribers with steady popularity even though they are not currently doing separate album activities. On top of that, Baby Monster’s first reality content “Bemon House,” which was released on the 5th, is showing a steeper rise as a catalyst, which is expected to accelerate its popularity.
Viewers as well as subscribers are solidifying their presence as “next-generation YouTube queens.” It has produced a total of 11 billion views, with accumulated views well over 5.4 billion times. Contents such as music videos, performance videos, and behind-the-scenes videos exceed thousands or millions of views.
Meanwhile, Baby Monster will release its second mini album on October 10. Starting with the title song ‘WE GO UP’, the album will include a total of four songs: ‘PSYCHO’, ‘SUPADUPALUV’, and ‘WILD’. “WE GO UP” is an intense hip-hop-based song that is determined to jump to a higher place for baby monsters, and fans are expected to respond well.
