BABYMONSTER wraps up 3 explosive nights of sold-out shows in Seoul to kick off 2nd world tour

K-pop girl group BABYMONSTER closed out a three-night homecoming run at Jamsil Indoor Stadium in Seoul, Sunday, capping the Seoul leg of its second world tour, "CHOOM," and leaving little doubt that this is a group built for live performance. The world tour will take the group across five continents, including its first-ever visits to Oceania, Europe and South America in addition to previously covered Asia and North America. So far, 18 cities and 29 shows have been announced, a sharp expansion from the group's first world tour, "HELLO MONSTERS," last year. The stadium was packed Sunday evening, the last of the three-day run, with fans who came specifically to hear the thing that separates BABYMONSTER from its peers — vocals that hold up completely unguarded, live. The show opened with the volume cranked on the group's latest single, "SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA," and the screaming started before the first chorus hit. Members Ruka, Pharita, Asa, Ahyeon, Rora and Chiquita opened with the hip-hop track "WE GO UP," handheld mics up, vocals exposed with nothing to hide behind. Member Rami, who has
