Published on March 30, 2026

A roaring race car, a pounding beat, and a cryptic title — K-pop girl group BABYMONSTER is revving up anticipation for its next release, signaling a bold new turn just two years after its debut. YG Entertainment announced on Monday that the group will release its third mini album, “CHOOM,” on May 4 at 6 p.m., marking its first comeback of the year.

The announcement came with a motion teaser posted on the company’s official blog, offering a glimpse of the album’s concept. The video features a racing car accelerating to a thunderous soundtrack, leaving behind a glowing trail that forms the word “CHOOM,” a Korean term meaning “dance.” The teaser’s kinetic imagery and high-intensity sound have fueled speculation about a concept shift for the group, whose previous releases leaned heavily on hip-hop and pop influences.

Yang Hyun-suk, executive producer at YG Entertainment, had previously hinted at this shift as part of the company’s 2026 roadmap, indicating that the upcoming album would showcase a style the group has never revealed before. YG Entertainment stated that “CHOOM” aims to capture “thrilling emotions.”

In addition to the album release, fans can look forward to a special fan event, further heightening excitement around the comeback. Details regarding the event are expected to be revealed soon, promising an interactive experience that allows fans to connect more closely with the group.

With its dynamic teaser and bold new direction, BABYMONSTER is set to make waves in the K-pop scene this May, capturing the attention of both dedicated supporters and new listeners alike.
