The tour is in support of  Babymonster’s first full-length album, “Drip,” released on Nov. 1 this year. The album features nine dynamic tracks, including one of the title tracks “Drips” which was composed by legendary rapper and singer-songwriter G-Dragon, a remix of their record-breaking pre-debut single "Batter Up," and their fan-favorite single "Forever.”

“Drip” follows the success of Babymonster’s record-breaking mini-album “Babymons7er,” released in April, which sold over 400,000 copies upon launch. 

The mini-album included hits like "Batter Up,” “Sheesh,” and “Like That,” written for the group by global superstar Charlie Puth.

The US announcement came after Babymonster recently revealed their Seoul tour dates, scheduled for Jan. 25 and 26 at KSPO DOME, which will kick off their upcoming global tour.
