[OSENWORLD] BABYMONSTER are living up to their monster hype — and rising fast.
According to Korea’s national Circle Chart (formerly Gaon Chart), operated by the Korea Music Content Association, the group’s second mini album WE GO UP, released on October 10, topped the album chart for the 41st week of 2025 (October 5–11). The record sold 533,686 physical copies, while total sales including the Nemo Album version reached 560,473 units.
The milestone is even more remarkable considering the chart reflected only a day and a half of sales following the album’s release. The same record has already dominated the iTunes Worldwide Album Chart, the Hanteo Weekly Chart, and Japan’s Oricon Daily Chart — a clean sweep, cementing BABYMONSTER’s growing global reach.
On YouTube, the group’s momentum has been just as explosive. The music video for the title track “WE GO UP” surpassed 60 million views within five days of release, while the exclusive performance video — featuring a large-scale collaboration with a mega crew — amassed nearly 20 million views in just 24 hours. Fans praised the fierce choreography, striking visuals, and the group’s undeniable energy.
BABYMONSTER are now kicking off full-scale promotions. They’ll perform live on Mnet’s M Countdown on October 16 and MBC’s Show! Music Core on October 18, showcasing their signature handheld-mic performances. Additional appearances, including YouTube content and radio segments, are set to highlight the group’s multi-dimensional charm.
The mini album WE GO UP features four tracks — “PSYCHO,” “SUPA DUPA LUV,” “WILD,” and the title track “WE GO UP.” The lead single combines a bold hip-hop sound with powerful rap verses and soaring vocals that capture BABYMONSTER’s fierce spirit.
