BABYMONSTER’s “CHOOM” Music Video Reaches 100 Million Views

BABYMONSTER’s “춤 (CHOOM)” music video reached 100 million YouTube views at around 2:50 p.m. KST on May 18, 2026, establishing the latest BABYMONSTER 100M Views milestone for the group’s third mini album title track. YG LIFE posted an official update at 2:53 p.m. KST on the same date, identifying the video as “BABYMONSTER – ‘춤 (CHOOM)’ M/V” and confirming that it had hit the 100 million mark. ¹

The music video was released on May 4, 2026, meaning the milestone came roughly two weeks after release. NewsPim and Sports Kyunghyang reported the timing as about 14 days, while Soompi calculated the span more precisely as 13 days and 21 hours. ^{2 3 4}

“CHOOM” Music Video Passes 100 Million Views

“춤 (CHOOM)” is the title track from BABYMONSTER’s third mini album, “CHOOM,” released on May 4, 2026. YG LIFE reported on May 6 that the title-track music video had surpassed 14 million views in less than a day, showing strong early traffic before the later 100 million milestone. ⁵

The May 18 official milestone notice from YG LIFE serves as the central confirmation for the 100 million view count. The post was published under YG LIFE and linked the song within BABYMONSTER’s official video listings, framing the achievement as part of the group’s official music-video activity. ¹

Korean entertainment coverage aligned on the core timing. NewsPim reported that “춤(CHOOM)” passed 100 million YouTube views at about 2:50 p.m. KST on May 18 and said the milestone raised BABYMONSTER’s total number of 100-million-view videos to 16. ² OSEN, carried by KoreaDaily, also reported that the music video crossed 100 million views around the same time and cited YG Entertainment for the figure. ⁶

The available sources describe two related but distinct counts. NewsPim and OSEN reported that BABYMONSTER had 16 total videos over 100 million views after “CHOOM” reached the threshold. ^{2 6} Soompi described “CHOOM” as the group’s 11th official music video to reach 100 million views, using a narrower category than the broader total-video count. ⁴

Release Timing and Early Performance

The 100 million milestone followed a rapid start for the “CHOOM” music video. YG LIFE’s May 6 update said the video exceeded 14 million views in less than a day after release and also reached No. 1 on YouTube Worldwide Trending. The same official update said BABYMONSTER’s comeback live broadcast recorded 1.57 million views. ⁵

Sports Kyunghyang later reported additional chart context, saying the music video had ranked No. 1 on YouTube Worldwide Trending, topped YouTube’s global daily popular music video chart, and led QQ Music’s MV chart. ³ These rankings are separate from the cumulative YouTube view count, but they place the 100 million milestone within a wider set of post-release video and music-platform results.

Soompi also provided a comparative note, reporting that “CHOOM” became the fastest K-pop music video released in 2026 to reach 100 million views. The outlet placed the milestone at approximately 2:50 p.m. KST on May 18, matching the timing reported by Korean outlets. ⁴

Another Entry in BABYMONSTER’s 100 Million View List

The “춤 (CHOOM)” result adds to BABYMONSTER’s record of videos reaching nine-digit view counts on YouTube. Based on the supplied sources, the clearest wording is that the music video became part of both the group’s wider collection of videos over 100 million views and its smaller count of official music videos that have reached the same level. ^{2 4}

That distinction matters because entertainment outlets may count different categories of video content. A broader total can include more than official music videos, while an official music video count is more specific. The supplied source material does not list every title included in either count, so the confirmed update is limited to the reported totals and the specific achievement for “춤 (CHOOM).”

The milestone also follows a short timeline of documented activity around the release. BABYMONSTER released the third mini album “CHOOM” on May 4, the title-track music video passed 14 million views in less than a day, and the video reached 100 million YouTube views on May 18. ^{5 1} With that result, “춤 (CHOOM)” became the group’s latest confirmed music-video milestone within the reporting available from YG LIFE and entertainment outlets.
