When watching the "Like That" stage (specifically the Show! Music Core debut stage or the official Dance Performance video), look for these key elements:
The performance typically opens with Ahyeon center stage. Unlike their usual explosive starts, she begins with a half-smile and a shoulder roll that syncs perfectly with the hi-hat rhythm. Her eye contact with the camera is intimate yet confident. This opening immediately sets the tone: this isn’t a battle; it’s a conversation. Ahyeon’s control over her facial expressions during the “Babymonster Like That performance” shows a maturity far beyond her years.
Title: BABYMONSTER’s “Like That” Performance Proves Why They’re Already Legends in Training
Body: When BABYMONSTER dropped their performance video for “Like That” (originally by Charlie Puth & Dan + Shay, reimagined), expectations were high. But what we got exceeded every single one.
1. Vocal Mastery
Each member had a moment to shine. Pharita’s warm tone in the opening, Rora’s crystal-clear pre-chorus, and Ahyeon’s power belt in the bridge – it felt less like a cover and more like a reinterpretation. The live vocals (yes, live) were stable even during demanding choreography.
2. Choreography with Character
Unlike the original acoustic vibe, YG’s production gave “Like That” a hip-hop/R&B twist. The choreography leans into confidence – head rolls, finger snaps, and controlled isolation moves. It’s not about being flashy; it’s about being cool. Ruka and Asa, in particular, brought the groove that only comes from years of training. babymonster like that performance
3. Stage Presence Beyond Their Years
The youngest member, Chiquita (age 15 during filming), held her own with the kind of eye contact and smirk that veteran idols take years to develop. Meanwhile, Haram’s emotional delivery added depth, proving that “Like That” isn’t just a song – it’s a vibe.
Final Verdict:
BABYMONSTER’s “Like That” performance isn’t just good for a rookie group. It’s good, period. If you haven’t watched it yet, do yourself a favor. And if you have – watch it again. You’ll notice something new every time.

For years, fans have associated the YG label with a specific performance style: confidence, swag, and a focus on hip-hop groove. "Like That" captures this essence perfectly. Unlike the often rigid synchronization of many 4th and 5th generation groups, Babymonster moves with a fluid, relaxed swagger. They don’t just execute the choreography; they ride the beat.

There is a bounce in their step and a deliberate heaviness to their movements that makes the performance feel weighty and impactful. It’s a reminder that they aren't just idols—they are performers trained to command a stage.
