Filipino MONSTIEZ finally have a date to look forward to as BABYMONSTER officially announced the Manila stop of their CHOOM world tour—marking the group’s first major concert in the Philippines since debuting.

According to the announcement, the rising K-pop act will bring the tour to Manila later this year, becoming one of the latest fourth-generation girl groups to strengthen their presence in the country’s rapidly growing K-pop concert scene. The CHOOM tour arrives during a particularly massive period for BABYMONSTER, whose performances, live vocals, and high-intensity stage presence have continuously fueled online discussions since the group’s debut. The act has also built a strong following among Filipino fans, with clips, fancams, and dance challenges regularly circulating across local timelines.

Online, many fans immediately celebrated the announcement as long overdue, especially after months of speculation surrounding possible Southeast Asian tour dates. Several posts across X described the Manila stop as a “full-circle moment” for Filipino MONSTIEZ who have supported the group since their pre-debut rollout.

Beyond the excitement itself, the upcoming concert also reflects the Philippines’ continued importance within the global K-pop touring circuit. In recent years, Manila has increasingly become a staple stop for major Korean acts due to the country’s highly active fandom culture and consistently strong concert turnout.

While ticketing details and additional concert information are expected to follow soon, anticipation surrounding the show is already rapidly building online particularly among fans eager to finally experience BABYMONSTER’s performance-heavy discography live.
