By C.M. Ong | June 28, 2025

Rookie girl group BABYMONSTER has officially joined the million-seller club.

On June 27, YG Entertainment proudly confirmed that the group’s first full-length album DRIP has surpassed 1,011,000 copies in cumulative sales. This achievement marks a significant milestone for the group, who debuted less than a year ago.

Originally released in November 2024, DRIP showed early promise, selling over 670,000 copies in its first week alone. Now, seven months later, the album has broken through the million mark—establishing BABYMONSTER as one of the fastest-rising girl groups in the current K-pop scene.

This milestone solidifies BABYMONSTER's standing not just as YG's next big act, but as one of the top rookie groups to watch globally.

BABYMONSTER isn’t slowing down. YG has confirmed a packed release schedule for the second half of 2025:

• July 1: Pre-release single “HOT SAUCE”
