BABYMONSTER has claimed total dominance at the 2025 MAMA Awards not just on stage, but in online engagement as well. According to YG Entertainment, the group currently holds both the 1st and 2nd most-watched videos from this year’s MAMA ceremony on Mnet’s official YouTube channel.
Their special stage performance “What It Sounds Like + Golden” racked up an impressive 6.88 million views, while their main performance of “WE GO UP + DRIP” followed closely with 5.67 million views. Together, these performances have drawn more than 12.55 million combined views, a staggering feat for a rookie group.
Among the two, the trio stage featuring Pharita, Ahyeon, and Rora for “What It Sounds Like + Golden” has become a standout. The song “Golden” is widely known for its extreme vocal difficulty, especially in its upper registers. Yet, Ahyeon amazed viewers by flawlessly delivering the final high-note ad-libs, earning widespread praise for her vocal prowess.
Their detailed styling and stage visuals also caught fans’ eyes. The performance aimed to recreate fictional characters with precision, paying meticulous attention to costumes, hair, and makeup that matched the original source material.
Fans flooded the comment sections with praise:
- “This song is nearly impossible to sing in the original key, and they did it live.”
- “Their vocal skills are out of this world.”
- “That final ad-lib was pure power and control.”
- “They couldn’t have performed it any better.”
With these breakout performances, BABYMONSTER has not only proven their stage presence but also solidified their spot as a next-gen powerhouse in K-pop.
