Rookie group BABYMONSTER kicked off their debut fan meeting tour, ‘[BABYMONSTER PRESENTS: SEE YOU THERE] IN JAPAN,’ on the 11th and 12th at Tokyo’s Ariake Arena, to resounding success.

The event witnessed a full house with all 26,000 seats, including an additional allocation due to overwhelming demand, selling out in no time.

BABYMONSTER set the stage ablaze with their debut track ‘SHEESH’, eliciting thunderous applause. They further mesmerized the audience with a diverse setlist, featuring the first-ever live performances of ‘LIKE THAT’ and ‘Stuck In The Middle (Remix)’ from their debut mini-album, a full-group performance of ‘BATTER UP’, and covers from their debut reality series.

The concert was a spectacle of explosive vocals, dynamic rap, powerful group dances, and electrifying live performances that kept the audience on the edge of their seats.

Despite being newbies, the members displayed relaxed stage presence, engaging the audience and heating up the venue.

The members had prepared special content for their first fan meeting, adding a personal touch to the event. They interacted closely with fans, answering random questions in a profile-making segment and creating unforgettable memories through interactive games like relay drawing.

BABYMONSTER members, including Asa who returned to her homeland, expressed their heartfelt gratitude: “We were nervous as it was our first fan meeting, but time flew by in the company of our fans. It’s touching and an honor to connect with so many people. We are grateful to the fans who enjoyed our performance and supported us.”

Having successfully launched their debut fan meeting tour, BABYMONSTER is set to take the show to Jakarta, Indonesia, on June 8. The tour will continue with performances in Singapore on June 15, Taipei on June 23, and Bangkok, Thailand, on June 29 and 30, marking their global footprint with a total of seven shows in five cities.

BTS’s Jimin is once again proving his global dominance, especially in Japan, where his solo music continues to break records!

Jimin's hit song "Who", from his second album MUSE, has just been awarded the prestigious Gold streaming certification from the Japan Record Association (RIAJ).

This honor comes after "Who" surpassed a remarkable 50 million streams in February, making it the first solo song by Jimin to receive this certification in Japan!

The Japan Record Association certifies music based on total streams, with Gold for 50 million streams, Platinum for 100 million, and Diamond for a massive 500 million.

This achievement adds another significant milestone to Jimin’s growing solo career.

Previously, Jimin also earned a Platinum certification for his first album FACE (for 250,000 units shipped) and a Gold certification for MUSE (for over 100,000 units shipped).

With the Gold streaming certification for "Who", Jimin now holds a total of three prestigious certifications from the Japan Record Association, solidifying his place as a solo artist.

Not only that, but "Who" made waves on the Billboard charts, staying on the Billboard Hot 100 for an impressive 33 weeks, setting a record for the longest-charting K-pop solo song! It also spent 32 weeks on the Billboard Japan Hot 100, showing just how much love fans have for his music.

Jimin’s solo success doesn’t stop there, as GOLDEN also spent 20 weeks on the Billboard Japan Hot Albums chart, and Jimin continues to dominate the Billboard Japan Artist 100, where he has now charted for 47 weeks! Clearly, Jimin’s popularity is unstoppable!
