BABYMONSTER Thrills Seattle Fans on 1st World Tour

From electrifying group tracks to emotional solo covers, BABYMONSTER proved why they’re one of K-pop’s fastest-rising acts.

On September 12, 2025, BABYMONSTER brought their 1st World Tour [HELLO MONSTERS] to Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, giving fans a performance that was both high-energy and versatile. Though the group debuted just over a year ago, they demonstrated a level of stage presence and cohesion that has already set them apart in the K-pop scene.

The concert began with a strong start, immediately pulling fans into the action with “DRIP” and “BATTER UP.” These tracks highlighted the group’s signature energy, combining intricate choreography with precise vocals and rap lines. Moments like the rapid-fire verses from Ruka and Asa alongside Ahyeon’s commanding vocals established early on that BABYMONSTER are comfortable commanding the stage as a unit. “LIKE THAT” added another layer, showing their ability to balance intensity with playful charisma.

The second set shifted focus to solo and cover performances, giving each member a chance to shine individually. Rora performed Lewis Capaldi’s “Someone You Loved,” delivering an emotional vocal that resonated deeply with the audience. Pharita followed with Sam Fischer’s “What Other People Say,” giving the song a heartfelt interpretation.

Asa then surprised the crowd with a rap-heavy cover of Eminem’s “Godzilla,” demonstrating technical skill and confident stage presence, while Ruka showcased her style and swagger with Honey Cocaine’s “Gwola.” Asa and Ruka later came together for “Woke Up in Tokyo,” offering a dynamic duo performance that energized the arena.

Chiquita brought Olivia Rodrigo’s “traitor” to life with a nuanced and expressive performance, and

Ahyeon impressed fans with a rendition of Charlie Puth’s “Dangerously.” The solo stages emphasized the breadth of talent within BABYMONSTER, blending vocals, rap, and performance seamlessly.

Reuniting for “DREAM” and “Love, Maybe,” the group shifted back to their signature anthems, maintaining the excitement in the arena. The third set further amplified the energy with “BILLIONAIRE” and “Really Like You,” showcasing the group’s synchronized choreography and cohesive stage presence.

A standout moment came when BABYMONSTER performed a medley of BLACKPINK’s “Kill This Love” and “As If It’s Your Last.” The covers were delivered with precision and flair, highlighting both the group’s respect for their predecessors and their ability to make these songs their own.

As the night continued, “HOT SAUCE” and “FOREVER” became high points of the concert, with fans singing along to the catchy choruses. BABYMONSTER even invited the audience to participate in a karaoke version of “FOREVER,” creating a shared experience that added a personal touch to the performance.

The encore brought back fan favorites with remixes of “SHEESH” and “BATTER UP,” followed by “DRIP” and “FOREVER.” The night concluded with a remix of “Stuck in the Middle” accompanied by band intros, leaving fans with one final memorable moment before the show ended.

Throughout the night, BABYMONSTER demonstrated why they are quickly becoming a standout group in K-pop. Their ability to balance group numbers with solo performances, cover songs, and high-energy hits made for a varied and engaging show. Seattle’s audience was treated to a performance that reflected both the individual talents of the members and the strength of the group as a whole.

BABYMONSTER’s stop in Seattle was a clear statement: they’re ready to make their mark worldwide, one show at a time.
