In 2018, the Korea Music Content Industry Association implemented a new certification system for album sales, song downloads, and streaming. Recently, a series of Kpop idols such as Baby Monster , Jin... were honored.

Starting with music released on or after January 1, 2018, Circle Chart now certifies albums platinum upon reaching sales of 250,000 copies, while albums that have sold one million copies or more receive a "million seller" certification.

This month, ATEEZ achieved two separate certifications for their latest mini album “GOLDEN HOUR: Part.2.” The regular version of the mini album received an official million certification for selling over 1 million copies, while the POCA version was certified platinum after selling over 250,000 copies.

TXT's "The Star Chapter: SANCTUARY", aespa's "Whiplash", NCT DREAM's "DREAMSCAPE", and ENHYPEN's "ROMANCE : UNTOLD -daydream-" have all achieved official million seller certifications, selling over 1 million copies each.

BTS' Jin's first solo album "Happy" has achieved triple platinum certification with over 750,000 copies sold since its release.

Meanwhile, the Nemo version of Baby Monster's first full-length album "Drip" has achieved double platinum certification with over 500,000 copies sold.

Finally, in the streaming category, BTS' Jungkook's "Seven" (featuring Latto), BE'O's "LOVE me," and Jung Dong Ha's "I Still Love You" were all certified platinum after surpassing 100 million streams.

In the coming time, Baby Monster will continue to have a series of notable activities, including a series of concerts to be held in Asia. On January 13, YG Entertainment announced 2 new locations added to the schedule of Baby Monster's global tour "Hello Monsters". That is the concert in Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam) will take place on May 31, 2025, and the concert in Jakarta (Indonesia) will take place on June 14, 2025.

This information made fans extremely excited. Previously, Kpop fans in Vietnam had the opportunity to "burn" with their idols right at home, when the groups Blackpink, Super Junior, Tempest chose Vietnam as the concert venue.

However, Blackpink's 2-night concert at My Dinh Stadium is still the most unforgettable impression, with a "huge" scale, up to 67,443 spectators, reaching a revenue of 13.66 million USD (according to Touring Data).

Blackpink and Baby Monster are managed by the same company, so Vietnamese fans expect YG to invest in Baby Monster's concert in Vietnam like its seniors.

Baby Monster is also a group that is loved by Vietnamese audiences because of its talented 7-member lineup (Ruka, Pharita, Asa, Ahyeon, Rami, Rora, Chiquita). Last year, this girl group proved their live singing ability and stage presence when they successfully organized an Asian fan meeting tour.

Baby Monster debuted in November 2023 with the single "Batter Up". The group then released the single "Stuck in the Middle" and the EP "BabyMons7er". Late last year, Baby Monster released their debut album "Drip" with two title tracks "Drip" and "Clik Clak".

In addition, YG Entertainment has announced that Baby Monster will release the music video for "Really Like You" from their debut album "Drip" at midnight on January 17, Korean time. The poster of the product reveals the concept of the music video.

The photo features seven members wearing bright blue tracksuits, exuding fresh energy and raising fans' expectations.

"Really Like You" - the fourth track on "Drip" is a hip-hop R&B song that shows Baby Monster's bright and vibrant charm.

The lyrics, which capture the excitement and joy of thinking about your loved one all day, have resonated with listeners, receiving rave reviews. The upcoming music video reflects the song’s bright and youthful mood, immersing viewers in a fresh and heartfelt story.
