The continuous expansion of global streaming metrics remains a primary indicator of international fan engagement and commercial relevance in the fast-moving K-pop industry.
On June 25, 2026, rookie powerhouse group BABYMONSTER locked in a significant brand-new achievement for their rapidly expanding career portfolio.
According to an official update published by their agency, YG Entertainment, the music video for the group’s vibrant summer digital single, “SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA,” officially crossed the coveted threshold of 100 million views on YouTube, cementing its position as an instant hit among their listeners.
The rapid viral ascent of the track highlights the seven-member group’s formidable global footprint and long-term streaming power.
Achieving this milestone in less than three weeks serves as a major testament to the unwavering dedication of their international fanbase, who have consistently mobilized across streaming platforms to elevate the group’s visual content.
A Rapid Streaming Ascent and Expanding YouTube Record Portfolio
The colorful production for “SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA” made its highly anticipated global debut at midnight KST on June 8, 2026.
By reaching the 100-million view threshold on the afternoon of June 25, the video required only 17 days to secure the massive numerical milestone.
From the moment of its initial upload, the music video generated explosive traction worldwide, immediately clinching the number one spot on YouTube’s worldwide trending list and dominating the global daily popular music video chart.
The latest streaming triumph brings a major expansion to the group’s overarching digital resume.
With “SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA” officially entering the nine-figure viewership tier, BABYMONSTER now proudly boasts a staggering total of 17 music videos and performance videos that have surpassed 100 million views since their debut.
This consistent streaming velocity has allowed the group to amass more than 12.4 million subscribers on their official YouTube channel- achieved in the shortest period for a K-pop girl group in history- alongside a cumulative channel view count that currently sits well above 9 billion plays.
Artistic Evolution and Launching the “CHOOM” World Tour
Musically, “SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA” marks an exciting creative pivot for the seven members, showcasing a lighter and more playful side compared to their previous high-impact title tracks.
The song delivers a message of unshakable confidence, capturing the narrative of walking one’s own path despite outside scrutiny and worldly gossip.
The accompanying music video visually brings this hip concept to life through unique set designs- such as retro corporate offices and stylized tea rooms- interwoven with kitschy choreography, signature bright vocals, and rhythmic rap sequences that capture the perfect refreshing energy for the summer season.
The announcement of this digital milestone serves as a massive boost of momentum for the group as they transition into major live promotions.
On June 26, 2026, just one day after crossing the 100-million view mark, BABYMONSTER is scheduled to officially kick off their highly anticipated second international tour, titled “2026- 27 BABYMONSTER WORLD TOUR [CHOOM] IN SEOUL.”
The group will launch the massive venture with a three-night concert run from June 26 to June 28 at the Jamsil Indoor Stadium in Seoul.
With 29 performances across 18 major global cities already confirmed for the first leg of the tour, the group is prepared to take their record-breaking tracks directly to stadium stages worldwide, further locking in their status as a dominant leading force of the next K-pop generation.
