Within one week of the “Babymonster Like That performance” airing, the hashtag #LikeThatChallenge generated over 500 million views. Notable covers included:

Furthermore, the original performance video became a case study for “how to promote a B-side.” YG Entertainment wisely uploaded the full 4K stage without watermarks, encouraging reposts. Unlike their previous strict copyright claims, they allowed reactors to use clips up to 30 seconds long, fueling the algorithm.

Their “Like That” performance isn’t just a cover—it’s a statement. From Ruka’s commanding presence to Ahyeon’s explosive vocals and Chiquita’s effortless swag, every member brought the heat. The choreography? Sharp. The attitude? Undeniable. The live vocals? No comment needed.

This is the energy that proves why they’re the rookies to watch in 2025. If this is just a performance video, we’re terrified (in the best way) for their next comeback.

BABYMONSTER – setting the standard, one stage at a time. 🦷👑

MONSTIEZ! 🖤
Can we talk about the ‘Like That’ performance for a second?
We see you streaming the dance practices (as you should), but the live vocals here? Immaculate.

Rami’s bridge. Ahyeon’s emotional delivery. The way Asa blended instead of overpowering.

Drop a 🔥 if you think this is their most underrated vocal stage.

Within 24 hours of the performance’s upload, the comment section was flooded with observations from both fans (Monstiez) and casual listeners. Here is a summary of the consensus:

| Aspect | Fan Sentiment | | :--- | :--- | | Maturity | “They finally look like they are enjoying the music rather than just executing it.” | | Line Distribution | “Ahyeon didn’t overpower the song; everyone got a moment to breathe.” | | Comparison to Seniors | “This gives me early ‘Playing with Fire’ vibes but with a Gen-Z swagger.” | | Dance Synchronization | “Even their fingers are in sync. Look at the hand angle during the pre-chorus.” |

Hate comments were notably sparse. Even critics who previously called Babymonster “overhyped” admitted that the “Like That” performance showcased a level of musicality not often seen in 4th or 5th generation girl groups.

Title: Unpopular opinion: BABYMONSTER’s “Like That” cover > their original songs vocally

Body:
I love “BATTER UP” and “SHEESH,” but those tracks are built for performance energy. The “Like That” cover (Charlie Puth) actually showcases their singing, not just their swag.

Question for you:
Which BABYMONSTER member do you think suits pop/r&b covers best? I’m voting Rami or Ahyeon.

Tweet 1:
First, Charlie Puth songs are notoriously hard. Odd intervals. High placement. Most groups avoid them. Baemon said “watch this.”

Tweet 2:
Ahyeon’s control in the verse? Whisper to belt in 0.5 seconds. No cracking. No breathiness. That’s months of vocal training showing.

Tweet 3:
Rami in the bridge. That’s not a studio magic note. She does it LIVE. Same energy as her “Pick Up Your Feelings” cover. Main vocal energy.

Tweet 4:
The harmonization on “like that, like that” – Rora, Asa, Chiquita – sounds like one voice. That’s rare for a rookie group.

Tweet 5:
YGE really gave us a group where 7 members can hold a melody without a guide track. Underrated flex.

If you haven’t watched the full “Like That” performance, search it now. This is the standard.

BabyMonster’s live performance of “Like That” blends polished K-pop production with fierce stagecraft, showcasing the group's dual strengths: vocal precision and powerful choreography. The song itself is a contemporary pop-R&B track with trap-inflected beats, catchy hooks, and an attitude-driven lyric sheet; the performance amplifies those elements through staging, vocal arrangement, and visual storytelling.

One of the most discussed aspects of this performance is the vocal delivery. Unlike many music show stages that rely on loud backing tracks, Babymonster opted for a nearly live-raw mix for “Like That.”
