Girl group Baby Monster dominated the 2025 MAMA awards ceremony not only on stage but also in terms of online interaction. According to YG Entertainment, Baby Monster currently has the 2 most watched videos at this year's awards ceremony on Mnet's official YouTube channel.
The special performance with 2 hit songs "What it sounds like" and "Golden" from the hit cartoon "Kpop demon hunters", performed by 3 members Pharita, Ahyeon and Rora, attracted 6.4 million views after 3 days of posting, the most watched video of MAMA 2025 to date.
Meanwhile, the main performance of the entire Baby Monster group (except Rami) featured 2 songs We go up and Drip, ranking second with 4.5 million views. In total, the 2 videos earned 10.9 million views - an impressive achievement for a rookie group.
Baby Monster's performance views are superior to other artists, such as Stray Kids with 2.9 million views, CORTIS with 2.7 million views, aespa with 2.4 million views, or G-Dragon with 1.4 million views.
In particular, the stage of Pharita, Ahyeon and Rora (Baby Monster) with the soundtrack songs "Kpop demon hunters" caused a storm as soon as it was posted.
Golden is famous for being a song that is difficult to cover with high notes, causing difficulties for many Kpop idols. However, Ahyeon surprised the audience when performing the unbelievable high notes, all 3 members received many compliments for their vocal skills.
The costumes and stage images also attracted attention. The performance almost perfectly recreated the fictional characters of the virtual music group Huntr/x in the film, taking meticulous care of the costumes, hairstyle to makeup to match the original work.
However, there are also mixed opinions, saying that Ahyeon has a strong voice but shows high notes that are brilliant and soft.
However, Baby Monster is a music group that has only been active for 2 years, so most of the audience praised the confidence and talent of the female idols.
The media commented that the groups of YG Entertainment in general and Baby Monster in particular have the strength of performance and live singing ability. This is an important factor in helping the group conquer international fans and consolidate its position as a potential next-generation group in Kpop.
Baby Monster has impressed members since their introduction with their outstanding vocal lineup. Many videos of the members performing in monthly reviews while they were trainees have attracted tens of millions of views on YouTube.
The video featuring Ahyeon's song "Dangerously" reached 69 million views, the group's collaboration with the song " scores To Your Beautiful" attracted 56 million views.
Baby Monster is currently following its senior Blackpink, becoming the "new generation YouTube queen" with the fastest YouTube channel to reach 10 million subscribers for a Kpop girl group.
The group has had 9 MVs reaching over 100 million views, of which the highest number of views belongs to the MV "Sheesh" reaching 381 million views after more than 1 year of release.
