YG rookie girl group BABYMONSTER just dropped a fresh group visual for their B-side track I LIKE IT, and the timing is all about the upcoming BABYMONSTER I LIKE IT music video. The new image sets up a softer, summer crush concept for the song from their third mini-album CHOOM, ahead of its full MV release.
Posted on July 3 through YG LIFE, the group shot arrives only days before the I LIKE IT MV lands, so hype around the rookie lineup is peaking. After the chic attitude of single SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA and the intense title track CHOOM, this visual hints at a different side of BABYMONSTER that fans are ready to see on screen.
Fresh ‘I LIKE IT’ Group Visual Shows BABYMONSTER’s Summer Side
The new visual lines up Ruka, Pharita, Asa, Ahyeon, Rami, Rora, and Chiquita in front of a lush green forest with bright beach parasols behind them. The backdrop instantly reads as vacation season, matching the clear and refreshing energy YG is pushing for this release.
Each member is styled in vivid summer looks, with bold earrings and playful, kitschy hairpins adding a youthful twist. Their unified pose, leaning on their chins side by side, gives the image a close friend-group feel that fits a song about young love.
YG describes the I LIKE IT concept as lovely and refreshing, in clear contrast to the chic charisma they showed in SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA. For a rookie group still defining its identity, the photo underlines BABYMONSTER’s ability to move from fierce to soft without losing presence.
A Country-Flavored B-Side Ready for the Spotlight
I LIKE IT is a B-side from CHOOM, released in May with four tracks that jump between intense hip hop, dreamy moods, and R and B pop. This song adds a different color, described as a dance track driven by a country-style guitar riff and lyrics that capture the fluttering excitement of young love.
YG has framed it as a refreshing, heart-fluttering summer song and a special gift for fans, separate from the punch of CHOOM and the polished cool of SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA. That contrast is exactly what makes a B-side MV feel like a big moment in their rookie story.
I LIKE IT was first performed live at BABYMONSTER’s Seoul concerts at Jamsil Indoor Stadium from June 26 to 28, the opening shows of their 2026–27 WORLD TOUR [CHOOM]. The track drew an enthusiastic response there, helping justify a full visual push while the group gears up for stops in Kobe this August and more dates across Oceania, Europe, and South America.

The MV announcement poster shows a sleek white yacht floating on a turquoise sea, with wave shapes and heart details in the typography to match the romantic summer mood. YG says the video was filmed entirely on location to capture the song’s free-spirited, upbeat energy.
In the teaser, BABYMONSTER appear at a foam-filled gas station and on a yacht over a deep blue ocean, dressed in white tops, denim, and breezy dresses that extend the group visual’s bright palette. As the WORLD TOUR [CHOOM] continues, this MV is set to become the visual blueprint for how I LIKE IT lives onstage and in summer playlists worldwide.
