In particular, they unveiled the stage for their new song ‘HOT SAUCE’ for the first time on tour, filling the venue with a bright and lively energy. Solo stages that highlighted each member’s unique charm, along with cover performances of ‘Kill This Love’ and ‘As If It’s Your Last’ infused with BABYMONSTER’s distinct style, added a layer of excitement that completely captivated the audience.
Above all, their upgraded stage presence throughout the tour was especially notable. Their unwavering live vocals, combined with finely tuned emotional expression, made it impossible to take your eyes off them. Their interaction with the audience, perfectly timed to elicit cheers, showcased their growth as artists.
Fans responded with roaring cheers and applause to BABYMONSTER’s non-stop, energetic set. BABYMONSTER said, “It was so special to meet Canadian MONSTIEZ (fandom name) for the first time and to be here together,” adding, “We don’t think we’ll ever forget tonight.”
Having officially kicked off their second North American tour with this Toronto concert, BABYMONSTER is heading to Rosemont on the 2nd (local time). The group will then continue to Atlanta, Fort Worth, Oakland, and Seattle, performing in a total of 6 cities with 6 shows. They also plan to release their second mini album on October 10, keeping their schedule packed through the second half of the year.
