BABYMONSTER's Biggest World Tour Yet Opens in Seoul — 'CHOOM' Tickets on Sale Now

BABYMONSTER is heading home — and they are bringing the biggest show of their career with them. YG Entertainment's seven-member group officially opened pre-sales today, April 6, for their "2026-27 BABYMONSTER WORLD TOUR [CHOOM] IN SEOUL," with tickets going live at 8 PM KST through NOL Tickets. General admission follows on June 9.

The Seoul shows are set for June 26, 27, and 28, 2026, at Jamsil Indoor Stadium — a three-night homecoming that marks BABYMONSTER's first domestic performances in approximately one year and five months. For fans who have watched the group grow into one of K-pop's most exciting live acts, the wait has been building for a while.

What 'CHOOM' Means for This Era

The world tour shares its name with BABYMONSTER's upcoming third mini-album, "CHOOM" (춤), the Korean word for "dance." The album is set to release on May 4, 2026 — meaning fans attending the Seoul concerts will be among the first to experience a setlist built around music that does not fully exist yet when tickets go on sale today.

Three album editions will be available: a Photobook version, a Jewel edition, and a Plush Keyring edition. Pre-orders opened earlier this month and have generated strong early momentum. The album title reads like a mission statement. BABYMONSTER has built much of their reputation around live performance, and naming their next creative chapter after dance signals a deliberate doubling down on that strength.

Korean entertainment media has consistently described the group in terms that translate roughly as "unmatched live performance ability and stage command." It is a reputation earned over two years of tours, music show stages, and festival appearances that routinely outperformed expectations. The "CHOOM" era appears designed to be a full showcase for exactly that — a creative cycle where everything, from the music to the setlist, centers on what BABYMONSTER does best in front of a live crowd.

Seoul Ticket Details

For fans planning to attend, here is the practical breakdown. Pre-sale via NOL Tickets begins today at 8 PM KST. General admission opens on June 9. All three Seoul performances will be held at Jamsil Indoor Stadium, a 12,500-capacity arena in the heart of Seoul that has hosted some of K-pop's most iconic performances.

BABYMONSTER's track record suggests demand will be intense. Their debut world tour saw multiple sell-outs across Asia and beyond. Fans planning to secure tickets should have their NOL Tickets accounts ready and payment information prepared before the 8 PM window opens. The group's global fanbase has become skilled at coordinating ticket purchases, and competition for preferred seats moves quickly.

The choice to hold three consecutive nights — rather than a single-night event — is a meaningful signal. A one-night show at Jamsil would mark a successful homecoming. Three nights marks something larger: a group that has grown into a genuine headlining act, one capable of filling a major indoor venue across multiple dates while simultaneously preparing for a sprawling global itinerary.

Five Continents: The Scope of the 2026-27 Tour

The Seoul dates are only the opening chapter of a much larger global run. BABYMONSTER's 2026-27 world tour is scheduled to cover five continents: Asia, Oceania, Europe, North America, and South America. Among the international dates already confirmed are shows in Kobe and Fukuoka, Japan, with additional cities expected to be announced in batches over the coming weeks.

For context, BABYMONSTER's first world tour already demonstrated the group's ability to draw arena-level crowds outside Korea. That run helped convert online fandoms into the kind of ticket-buying, venue-filling support that only comes when an artist has genuinely crossed over. The second tour — opening with three Seoul nights and then expanding across five continents — is the natural escalation of that trajectory.

Opening at home before moving outward is both logistically smart and symbolically resonant. It gives BABYMONSTER a chance to debut the "CHOOM" setlist in front of their most dedicated fans before carrying the show to audiences around the world. By the time the tour reaches Europe or the Americas, the Seoul performances will have already shaped and refined what the experience is going to be.

BABYMONSTER: How They Got Here

BABYMONSTER made their official debut in November 2023 under YG Entertainment, the Seoul-based label behind BLACKPINK and BIGBANG. The seven members — Ruka, Pharita, Asa, Rami, Ahyeon, Rora, and Chiquita — emerged after an extended pre-debut period that generated considerable attention, partly through content YG released tracking the group's multi-year training process.

What set BABYMONSTER apart from the outset was a combination of diverse international membership — the group includes members from Korea, Japan, and Thailand — and a musical approach that draws on hip-hop, R&B, and high-energy pop in roughly equal measure. That combination, paired with an early reputation for commanding live performances, gave the group a distinct identity in a generation where differentiation requires genuine specificity.

Since debut, BABYMONSTER has moved deliberately — releasing music in carefully spaced drops and building each creative era around strong performance and visual concepts. "CHOOM," arriving roughly two and a half years into their career, comes at a moment when their fanbase has matured from debut excitement into sustained, global support. A five-continent world tour is both the reflection and the reward of that maturation.

Fan Reactions and What to Watch For

Social media reacted quickly to the pre-sale announcement. Within hours, BABYMONSTER's global fanbase was organizing ticket strategies, with Korean fans noting the symbolic weight of the three-night Seoul run and fans internationally speculating about which cities would complete the still-unannounced portions of the tour routing.

There is particular anticipation around the setlist. "CHOOM" releases May 4 — less than eight weeks before the June Seoul concerts. Fans attending those shows will experience the group's newest material performed live almost immediately after its release. That creates a dynamic unique to BABYMONSTER's current moment: attending the Seoul tour opener is not just a concert, but an early immersion into a creative era the rest of the world will still be absorbing.

With additional international dates on the way and "CHOOM" building toward its May release, the next several months represent one of the most concentrated creative and touring pushes of BABYMONSTER's career. The name says it all: they came to dance. The world tour is where they prove it.
