[OSENWORLD] BABYMONSTER have set a new benchmark for K-pop girl groups, becoming the fastest K-pop girl group ever to surpass 10 million subscribers on YouTube.
YG Entertainment announced that on September 9, at 1:16 p.m. KST, the rookie group’s official channel crossed the 10 million mark. The milestone comes just 17 months after their official debut on April 1, 2024 — the shortest time any K-pop girl group has taken to reach the milestone from debut.
This achievement places BABYMONSTER as the third most-subscribed channel among K-pop girl groups, despite the act being only in their second year. The rapid rise underscores both their growing influence on YouTube — one of the most powerful stages in today’s global music market — and the explosive pace of their international fandom expansion.
The surge has come even without new album promotions. Consistent buzz around the group has steadily attracted new fans, while the launch of their first reality series “BABYMON HOUSE” on September 5 acted as a catalyst, fueling subscriber growth even further.
BABYMONSTER’s performance on YouTube goes beyond subscribers. Their channel has already produced 11 videos that have each surpassed 100 million views and amassed more than 5.4 billion cumulative views. From polished music videos to performance clips and behind-the-scenes content, their output routinely draws millions of views, cementing their reputation as YouTube’s “next-generation queens.”
Looking ahead, BABYMONSTER will release their second mini album on October 10. The project will include four tracks: title song “WE GO UP” alongside “PSYCHO,” “SUPA DUPA LUV,” and “WILD.” The hip-hop-driven lead single is positioned as a bold declaration of the group’s determination to soar even higher, with strong expectations already building among fans.
