K-pop girl group Babymonster cheered on by growing fan base

What a difference a year makes. If you had caught K-pop septet Babymonster's debut Singapore show in June 2024, you would be amazed by how much their fan base has grown since.

The girl group sold out their May 17 concert at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, a larger venue than The Star Vista where they last played to around 5,000 fans. They also performed at the Formula One Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix in September 2024.

The demographic of their fan base has also diversified, based on this writer's observations.

The audience of the 2025 concert—which was about 9,000-strong—included a more even gender mix, and ranged from primary school children to adults in their 30s, compared with their predominantly teenage female audience earlier.

The girl group have worked non-stop to win hearts since they were officially formed in 2024, and celebrated their first anniversary on April 1.

Now aged 16 to 23, the seven members were assembled from three countries by K-pop agency YG Entertainment. They are Ahyeon, Rami and Rora from South Korea, Asa and Ruka from Japan, as well as Chiquita and Pharita from Thailand.
