BABYMONSTER New Song “Sugar Honey Ice Tea” Released With Music Video

BABYMONSTER released its new digital single “SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA” at 12 a.m. KST on June 8, 2026, with the audio and music video made available at the same time. The new song follows the group’s third mini album “춤 (CHOOM)” and arrives ahead of the Seoul opening dates for BABYMONSTER’s second world tour.¹

The release was confirmed in advance by YG Entertainment, which announced on May 25 that the single would arrive at midnight on June 8 and opened the promotional campaign with a teaser poster. The agency framed the track as a summer song from the group, using the Korean description “무더위를 시원하게 날릴 베이비몬스터표 ‘서머송’이 될 것.”²

The rollout for “SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA” began in late May and continued through early June. YG Entertainment’s first announcement confirmed the title, release timing, and digital-single format, placing the song roughly one month after the release of “춤 (CHOOM).”² The same announcement also linked the single to the group’s wider 2026 schedule, including its second world tour.

On June 1, YG released a group visual photo for “SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA” through its official blog, following earlier individual teaser images. Sports Donga reported that the group image used soft pink and gray outfits with elegant accessories, adding another step to the visual campaign before the single’s release.³

YG then posted a music video teaser on June 4, four days before the single became available. The teaser previewed part of the song, including rhythmic bass, synth sounds, and the lyric “I’m the sugar honey ice tea,” while again confirming the June 8 midnight release schedule.⁴

By June 8, the campaign had shifted from preview to release. OSEN, carried by Chosun Biz, reported that BABYMONSTER released both the sound source and music video for “SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA” through music platforms at 12 a.m. KST.¹ BABYMONSTER’s official Japanese site also announced on June 8 that the digital single had started streaming and that the music video had been released, listing June 8, 2026 as the release date.⁵

Sound and Music Video Details

Available reports describe “SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA” as an uptempo dance track built around rhythmic bass and a hook-centered structure. Newsis, carried by Financial News, described the song as an uptempo dance song with rhythmic bass and an addictive hook, while OSEN’s release-day report also emphasized its rhythmic bass and memorable hook.⁶¹

The title’s sweet imagery is part of the song’s public framing, but the source material does not provide an extended track-by-track explanation or production credits. OSEN reported that the song contrasts the keywords “sugar,” “honey,” and “ice tea” with the members’ cool vocal energy, giving the release a summer-oriented character while keeping it within an uptempo dance format.¹

The music video was released together with the audio on June 8. Release-day coverage described the video as using stylish direction and a storyline connected to gossip and public attention.¹ BABYMONSTER’s official Japanese site linked the music video through the rights-holder upload and also provided download, streaming, and special-site links for the single.⁵

The source material does not list additional tracks beyond the digital single title. The confirmed information focuses on the title, release time, teaser campaign, sound description, music video launch, and the release’s connection to BABYMONSTER’s upcoming tour activity.

Release Ties Into BABYMONSTER’s Tour Schedule

“SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA” arrives shortly before BABYMONSTER begins its second world tour in Seoul. YG Entertainment’s May 25 announcement said the tour schedule included 27 shows across 18 cities, with additional Europe, North America, and South America dates planned.²

Later promotional coverage repeated the Seoul opening window. Sports Donga reported that the group would begin its second world tour in Seoul from June 26 to 28, after the June 8 release of “SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA.”³ YG’s June 4 teaser update also confirmed the Seoul opening dates while previewing the single’s sound.⁴

The timing places the single between the May release of “춤 (CHOOM)” and the late-June start of the tour. Newsis, carried by Financial News, reported on June 7 that the song would follow the May mini album and arrive alongside the start of BABYMONSTER’s second world tour.⁶
