BABYMONSTER CHOOM Comeback: Mini Album Arrives With Four Tracks and Special Live

BABYMONSTER’s CHOOM comeback centers on the group’s third mini album, released on May 4, 2026, at 6 p.m. through global music platforms. The release, officially styled as “춤 (CHOOM)” in Korean reports and “CHOOM” in YG’s English update, includes four tracks led by the title song “CHOOM.”¹

The comeback puts dance and performance at the front of the release cycle. YG Entertainment’s official YG LIFE update described the mini album as a project spanning hip-hop, dance, and R&B, while Korean media reports highlighted the title track’s choreography, music video concept, comeback live programming, and the start of a second world tour in Seoul.²

BABYMONSTER CHOOM Comeback Details

The mini album arrives about seven months after BABYMONSTER’s previous release, “WE GO UP,” making “CHOOM” the group’s first Korean comeback of 2026. Newsis reported that the title song is built around an energetic, addictive sound, a chorus with a beat switch, and choreography designed around powerful movement and freer formations.³

The group framed the album around the combination of music and performance. In an interview carried by ET News, BABYMONSTER said it would be an album that makes listeners respond to “the music and performance itself” as “cool.”¹ Ruka also described the title track as a song whose energy comes alive when viewed together with the performance.³

The music video was reported to include underwater performance scenes and image changes by the members, extending the performance-first direction of the comeback beyond the stage.³ Ahead of the release, YG Entertainment also posted visual photos for “춤 (CHOOM)” on its official blog on April 17, with NewsPim reporting that the group poster used a mugshot concept and followed earlier individual member teasers.⁴

Tracklist, Genres, and Performance Focus

YG LIFE’s April 21 tracklist announcement listed “MOON,” title track “CHOOM,” “I LIKE IT,” and “LOCKED IN” as the four songs on the mini album. The official English-language update said the album would show BABYMONSTER’s musical spectrum across hip-hop, dance, and R&B.²

Yonhap also reported, citing YG Entertainment, that the new release consists of four songs across several genres, including hip-hop, dance, and R&B.⁵ The repeated emphasis across the official update and Korean reports places the project’s central identity on breadth of genre and the title track’s dance-led presentation, rather than on a single sonic category.

The title song “CHOOM” is the main comeback track. Reports describe it as a performance-driven song, with particular attention on the chorus and group choreography. The comeback positioning also aligns with the Korean title “춤,” meaning “dance,” while the English styling “CHOOM” is used in official materials and international-facing coverage.

Ahyeon said in a press-release quote carried by Yonhap that she was “very excited” to present an album filled with new charms.⁵ The comment reflects the release’s stated direction: a comeback built around showing a fresh image through music, choreography, and visual presentation.

Comeback Live and World Tour Schedule

BABYMONSTER scheduled a comeback special live for May 4, 2026, at 8 p.m., two hours after the album release. OSEN reported that the program would be streamed through BABYMONSTER’s YouTube, Weverse, and TikTok channels.⁶

The special live was announced as a release-day event for global fans. Planned segments included album unboxing, an introduction to the title track’s point choreography, behind-the-scenes production stories, and discussion of activity plans.⁶ Those segments suggest the live was designed to connect the album’s physical presentation, title-track performance, and promotional schedule in a single release-day broadcast.

The comeback also leads into BABYMONSTER’s second world tour, also titled “춤.” Yonhap reported that the tour begins with concerts at Jamsil Indoor Stadium in Seoul from June 26 to June 28, 2026.⁵ No additional tour stops are listed in the provided source material, so the confirmed schedule is limited to the Seoul opening dates.
