BABYMONSTER will release a new digital single, “SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA,” on June 8, 2026, at 0 a.m. KST. The release was announced through the group’s official X account on May 25 and was followed by Korean and international reports carrying YG Entertainment’s confirmation of the schedule.¹

The new song arrives roughly one month after BABYMONSTER released its third mini album, “CHOOM,” on May 4, 2026. Reports have framed the single as a fast follow-up in the group’s 2026 activity cycle, with YG Entertainment also preparing broader promotional activity and a second world tour.²

The official announcement identified the release as BABYMONSTER Digital Single [SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA] and listed the timing as “2026.06.08. 0AM KST.”¹ The post also pointed followers to a pre-save link and used the hashtags #BABYMONSTER, #DigitalSingle, #SUGARHONEYICETEA and #YG, establishing the title and release format through the group’s official channel.¹

Soompi also reported the release as a new digital single and gave the timing as June 8, 2026, at 12 a.m. KST, matching the official schedule.³ Star News and OSEN, via Nate, likewise reported the midnight KST release timing, citing YG Entertainment’s announcement.²⁴

YG Entertainment described the song as a BABYMONSTER-style summer song. In an English-language report from Maeil Business Newspaper, the company was quoted as saying it will be “BABYMONSTER’s summer song that cools down the heat.”⁵ Star News carried the same point in Korean, reporting YG’s description that the track would be a summer song from BABYMONSTER intended to cool down hot weather.²

The available source material does not include a tracklist beyond the single title, nor does it provide credits, lyrics, producers, concept details beyond the teaser description, or music video release information for “SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA.” The confirmed information centers on the title, format, release date, release time and YG’s positioning of the track as a summer song.

Fast Follow-Up After CHOOM

The new single follows the May 4 release of BABYMONSTER’s third mini album, “CHOOM.” Star News described the June single as a fast comeback after that mini album, while Maeil Business Newspaper reported that the title track’s follow-up comes about one month later.²⁵

Maeil Business Newspaper reported that “CHOOM” topped iTunes charts in 19 regions and reached No. 1 on the Worldwide Albums Chart.⁵ The same report placed the upcoming digital single in the context of momentum after the mini album’s chart performance, while keeping the focus on the June 8 release date and YG’s teaser rollout.⁵

OSEN, via Nate, connected the short gap between releases to YG Entertainment’s stated effort to shorten album preparation periods and increase artist activity.⁴ That report also said YG released the teaser poster through its official blog and noted that music videos for tracks from “CHOOM” are being prepared.⁴

The teaser poster was also described by Maeil Business Newspaper as using neon green color and bold typography.⁵ Star News reported that YG released the teaser poster through its official blog, adding another official promotional element to the single rollout.²

Tour Plans Continue Alongside Release

The June single is being prepared while BABYMONSTER is also moving toward a second world tour. Star News reported that the group is preparing a tour spanning 18 cities and 27 shows, with additional dates planned for Europe, North America and South America.²

KSTATION TV also reported that BABYMONSTER is embarking on a second world tour across Seoul, Japan, Asia and Oceania, with further dates planned for Europe, North America and South America.⁶ The same report identified the members as Ruka, Pharita, Asa, Ahyeon, Rami, Rora and Chiquita, and placed “SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA” after the May 4 release of “CHOOM.”⁶

The source material does not provide a complete schedule for the tour dates, venues or ticketing details. It confirms only the broad tour scale reported by Star News and the regional routing described by KSTATION TV, alongside the information that further dates are planned for Europe, North America and South America.²⁶

For BABYMONSTER, “SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA” is therefore positioned as a near-term digital single rather than a full album release. The most firmly established details remain the June 8, 2026 midnight KST launch, the official digital single title and YG Entertainment’s description of the track as a summer song.¹⁵
