BABYMONSTER’s “CHOOM” Hits 200 Million YouTube Views, Setting Another Group Milestone

BABYMONSTER have reached another major YouTube milestone: their music video for “CHOOM” surpassed 200 million views at approximately 9:30 a.m. KST on October 12, according to YG Entertainment. It is the group’s seventh music video to cross the mark, adding another achievement to the rookie act’s growing digital record.

The milestone is particularly notable because “CHOOM” is the title track of BABYMONSTER’s third mini album. The music video was released on May 4 at 6 p.m. KST, meaning it reached 200 million views in just over five months. That pace demonstrates the group’s ability to maintain international attention beyond the initial release-day rush.

The seven videos that have now passed the 200-million mark are “CHOOM,” “BATTER UP,” “SHEESH,” “DRIP,” “FOREVER,” “WE GO UP” and “PSYCHO.” The achievement gives BABYMONSTER a substantial collection of high-performing videos relatively early in their career.

YouTube numbers are only one way to measure a group’s popularity, of course. They do not automatically translate into album sales, concert attendance or chart rankings. However, repeated view milestones can indicate that a group’s music continues to attract listeners and that fans are returning to its catalogue.

BABYMONSTER debuted under YG Entertainment, the company behind acts including BIGBANG, BLACKPINK and TREASURE. The group’s international-facing promotional strategy has placed considerable emphasis on performance videos, choreography and visually ambitious music videos, making YouTube a particularly important platform for its audience.

“CHOOM” reaching the milestone also gives the group’s third-mini-album era a fresh talking point several months after the video’s premiere. Rather than being a one-day spike, the cumulative figure reflects views gathered over time.

Fans can revisit the official “CHOOM” video while watching for the group’s next announcements. The milestone is a new achievement for BABYMONSTER, although YG has not announced a release specifically tied to the view count.
