YG Entertainment announced the milestone on May 18, noting that the group surpassed 12 million subscribers around 6:30 p.m. KST on May 17. Debuting on April 1, 2024, the seven-member act reached this height in just two years and two months making them the fastest K-pop girl group to do so.
The surge reflects strong momentum from their latest comeback. In the 13 days leading up to the milestone, BABYMONSTER gained approximately 250,000 new subscribers, averaging nearly 20,000 daily. YG credited the recent promotions and high-quality content as key drivers in attracting global fans.
This achievement builds on earlier records: the group previously hit 10 million and 11 million subscribers at record speed among girl groups. Their channel has become a hub for music videos, behind-the-scenes footage, and performances that showcase their powerful vocals, sharp choreography, and charismatic presence.
Industry observers point to BABYMONSTER’s rapid rise as evidence of YG’s continued strength in nurturing global acts. As “monster rookies,” the members Ruka, Pharita, Asa, Ahyeon, Rami, Rora, and Chiquita continue to expand their international footprint through consistent releases and engaging fan content.
Congratulations to BABYMONSTER on this impressive milestone. With their trajectory, further growth and new records appear likely in the months ahead. Fans worldwide are celebrating the news, flooding social media with messages of support.
