BABYMONSTER CHOOM Hits 100 Million Views, Fastest 2026 K-Pop MV to Reach Milestone

BABYMONSTER’s “CHOOM” music video surpassed 100 million YouTube views at about 2:50 p.m. KST on May 18, 2026, roughly 13 days and 21 hours after its May 4 release at 6 p.m. KST. The timing made BABYMONSTER CHOOM the fastest 2026 K-pop music video to reach 100 million views, based on Soompi’s calculation of the milestone window. ¹

Newspim also reported the same 100 million-view timing, citing YG Entertainment, and described the milestone as arriving about 14 days after the video’s release. ² The figure places “CHOOM” at the center of a wider set of reported YouTube, album, and tour indicators surrounding BABYMONSTER’s third mini album, “춤 (CHOOM).”

BABYMONSTER CHOOM 100 Million Views Milestone

The May 18 milestone adds another 100 million-view entry to BABYMONSTER’s video catalog. Soompi identified “CHOOM” as the group’s 11th official music video to cross 100 million views, while Newspim reported that BABYMONSTER now has 16 total videos above the 100 million-view threshold. ^{1 2}

Those two figures are not identical because they refer to different classifications: Soompi specified official music videos, while Newspim described the group’s total videos. Both reports point to the same central event, the “CHOOM” music video passing 100 million YouTube views around 2:50 p.m. KST on May 18.

The video’s 100 million-view result came two weeks after BABYMONSTER released the mini album “춤 (CHOOM).” Sports Kyunghyang reported that the group returned on May 4 with four new songs on the release. ⁴

Chart Results Before 100 Million Views

Before the 100 million-view mark, “춤 (CHOOM)” posted several reported YouTube chart results. YG Life published an OSEN report stating that “춤 (CHOOM)” ranked No. 1 on YouTube’s global daily popular music video chart for May 4, based on a YouTube chart released on May 6. The same report said the music video entered YouTube Worldwide Trending at No. 1 and surpassed 25 million views after clearing 15 million views in half a day. ⁵

Sports Kyunghyang also reported that BABYMONSTER’s “춤 (CHOOM)” topped YouTube’s global daily popular music video chart as of May 4. The outlet added that the video ranked No. 7 in the United Kingdom and No. 9 in the United States, while also reaching No. 1 on QQ Music’s MV chart in China. ⁴

These reported placements provide context for the video’s early performance, but the confirmed focus remains the May 18 YouTube milestone. The available reports do not provide a full market-by-market view count, and the published figures are limited to the stated chart positions, cumulative views, and timing.

Album Sales and Tour Context

The video milestone followed additional reported activity around the “춤 (CHOOM)” release. iMBC reported on May 13 that BABYMONSTER’s third mini album “춤 (CHOOM)” had surpassed 750,000 cumulative sales about one week after release, citing YG Entertainment’s self-counted figure as of the previous day. The outlet also said the album exceeded the cumulative sales of the group’s previous mini album within eight days. ³

Tour plans have also expanded around the same project cycle. Money Today reported on May 11 that YG Entertainment had announced Asia and Oceania dates for BABYMONSTER’s 2026-27 world tour “춤 (CHOOM).” Including previously announced Seoul and Japan concerts, the confirmed schedule stood at 18 cities and 27 shows as of May 11. ⁶

The same report said the Osaka stop would be held at Kyocera Dome, describing it as the group’s first dome-stage entry about two years and five months after debut. YG Entertainment said it was “concentrating company-wide capabilities” for a high-quality performance, in a press-release comment quoted by Money Today. ⁶

The 100 million-view mark gives “CHOOM” a clear benchmark within BABYMONSTER’s 2026 activity, connecting the music video’s YouTube pace with reported album sales, early chart placements, and an expanding tour schedule. As of the reported May 18 milestone, “CHOOM” stands as the fastest 2026 K-pop music video to reach 100 million views.
