BabyMonster Takes First Music Show Win with 'WE GO UP'

BabyMonster has kicked off their comeback with a bang, securing a music show trophy in their first week back.

On October 16, BabyMonster clinched the top spot on Mnet's 'M Countdown' with their mini-album's title track 'WE GO UP'. The group scored high across various categories including digital sales, album sales, fan votes, and social media, highlighting the intense global interest in them.

During their performance, BabyMonster captivated the audience with their unique charisma. Their choreography, featuring sky-pointing moves and diverse hand gestures, left a strong impression, while their powerful dance routine with backup dancers thrilled viewers.

The members' impressive vocals and sharp rapping were standout elements. Ahyeon's explosive high notes over the driving beat delivered electrifying thrills, and her flawless execution of the challenging whistle notes drew continuous admiration.

Although BabyMonster previously won first place on music shows during their 2024 'SHEESH' promotions, this marks their first time receiving a trophy during a live broadcast. The group expressed their gratitude, saying, "It's all thanks to our fans, Monsties. We will repay your love and support with great performances." Their encore stage featured a flawless live performance that garnered enthusiastic responses.

Riding this momentum, BabyMonster plans to ramp up their popularity. Following their 'M Countdown' win, they are set to appear on MBC's 'Show! Music Core' on October 18, and will continue to engage with global fans through various platforms including YouTube and radio.
