Two nights at Taipei Arena
The Taipei stop runs over two nights. BABYMONSTER, the seven-member YG Entertainment group of Ruka, Pharita, Asa, Ahyeon, Rami, Rora and Chiquita, plays Taipei Arena on November 21 and 22, 2026. The shows belong to World Tour CHOOM, part of their 2026 ‘LOVE MONSTERS’ run.
Taipei Arena is the city’s standard indoor stop for K-pop tours. It is a steel-roofed oval bowl on Nanjing East Road, with tiered seating rising on all sides of a flat floor. Seat blocks are lettered and colour-coded on the ticket, and the upper rings are steep, so sightlines to the stage stay fairly direct.
Getting there on the green line
The metro drops you at the venue door. Taipei Arena Station (G17) on the Songshan–Xindian Line sits under the Nanjing East Road and Dunhua North Road intersection, and Exit 2 surfaces beside the arena plaza.
- From Taipei Main Station: take the Bannan (blue) Line to Ximen, then the green line east. Allow about 20 minutes.
- From Songshan Airport: take the Wenhu (brown) Line one stop to Nanjing Fuxing, then the green line one stop east.
- After the show: Nanjing Fuxing (G16) and Nanjing Sanmin (G18) are each a short walk away. Many fans walk to one of them rather than queue at Exit 2.
Taxis gather on Dunhua North Road. After a full-house show, though, the metro usually beats them out of the area.
Doors, merch and the light-stick rules
Taiwanese concert crowds are orderly, and queues are run by number. Standing-area tickets carry a queue number, and staff call entry in blocks of numbers. Fans usually gather by number on the plaza well before doors open.
- Merch: official booths go up on the plaza. Fans typically queue for them hours before the show, and the official light stick is the main item people carry in.
- Paying for transport: an EasyCard (悠遊卡) covers the MRT, buses and most convenience stores around the arena.
- On the metro: eating and drinking are banned past the MRT fare gates, and the fines are enforced. Finish your bubble tea upstairs.
- Fan name: the fandom is MONSTIEZ. Chants and banner events are usually coordinated through Taiwanese fan accounts on social media.
Seated ticket holders generally show up close to their gate time. Floor crowds trickle in over the afternoon instead.
Before and after the show in Songshan
The arena block has food and shelter without going far. Breeze Nan Jing, the mall directly across Nanjing East Road, has a basement food court and cafés, and it is where many fans wait out the hours before doors.
Raohe Street Night Market is three stops east at Songshan Station (G19). Pepper buns are cooked at the gate by Ciyou Temple, and the market runs late enough for a post-show meal. Hotels along Nanjing East Road and around Zhongshan keep you on the green line for both nights.
