The accompanying music video for "Sheesh" shattered records, becoming the most-viewed video within 24 hours on YouTube and maintaining its status as the most popular music video on the platform throughout the previous week. To date, the video has amassed nearly 77 million views.
Celebrating their official debut, Babymonster opened a pop-up store in Seoul, attracting approximately 2,000 visitors over the course of two days.
Although the group released the single "Batter Up" in November of the previous year, the EP marks their first collective release as a full group, including member Ahyun, who did not participate in the debut single.
