As the summer heat slowly fades, K-Pop fans all over the world can get ready for an electrifying season of comebacks from their favorite idols. September and October already promise to be months full of captivating music and exciting performances. Let's take a look at the list of expected comebacks that will thrill us in the coming weeks.
Purple Kiss, SHINee’s Key and more are waiting for you in September:
Lee Chaeyeon is knocking on our door again!
Chaeyeon, who rose to fame through her outstanding dance skills and charming voice, is ready to conquer the stage once again with her upcoming September comeback.
Chaeyeon debuted in October 2018 in the extremely popular project group IZ*ONE and started her solo career in October 2022 with the mini album “Hush Rush”. Most recently, the talented dancer celebrated a breakthrough with "Knock", the title song from her second solo album "Over the Moon" (April 12). "Knock" became a viral hit and climbed up the charts once again a few weeks after its release. Chaeyeon even returned to music shows to perform her hit again!
We're keeping our fingers crossed that she can continue her success streak with her third album!
Purple Kiss will also release new music soon:
The first single album “FESTA” comes out on September 5.
Purple Kiss, the up-and-coming powerhouse of the K-Pop scene, is back! The label RBW has dropped hints that the girl group will show a new side of themselves, which has fueled the anticipation for the comeback. The announcement comes six months after their last album “Cabin Fever” including the title track “Sweet Juice”.
The rapper Yuki has shown off her skills in the last few weeks in the survival show “Queendom Puzzle” and won a spot in the project group “EL7Z UP” in the finale two days ago! EL7Z UP will probably release an album very soon and has already announced further activities such as a concert in Japan. However, the members of EL7Z Up are allowed to also perform with their actual groups on the side, so it's possible that Yuki will also take part in the upcoming Purple Kiss album.
Whether as five or as six members; Purple Kiss will surely thrill us again with powerful performances!
On YouTube there is already a logo motion video that gives a little glimpse into the new concept:
EVNNE's debut is just around the corner:
The anticipation is huge, because the new boy group EVNNE has finally announced a fixed date for their debut. The members were only officially announced recently and two days ago more details followed: EVNNE's first album comes out on September 18! Along with the announcement, the boy group also revealed their logo.
The group already has a big fan base, because all the members appeared in the popular survival show "Boys Planet" at the beginning of the year. We're excited to see the result of their hard work on stage soon!
SHINee’s Key's comeback is another highlight in September:
The legendary boy group SHINee just celebrated their 15th anniversary and finally released a new album after two years: “Hard” came out on June 26 and marks the beginning of a new era, because it is the first album since all the members finished their military service. So hopefully we won't have to wait this long for new music from the group again in the next few years.
As before, this new era also includes the members' solo projects!
SHINee’s diva, all-rounder and fashion king Key will return in September with a new album. It is already the singer's seventh album of his own. Since his solo debut with “Face” in November 2018, Key has regularly released new music.
With his unmistakable style and undeniable talent, Key will undoubtedly deliver another captivating performance that reminds us all why SHINee is a legend of the K-Pop scene!
Most recently, in February, Key released the repackage album “Killer”:
September flows seamlessly into October, because this month also holds exciting comebacks:
Seventeen returns together with Seungkwan!
It's not even five months since Seventeen presented their tenth mini album “FML” and broke numerous records! FML is currently considered the best-selling K-Pop album ever. With it, Seventeen even surpassed BTS!
And the boy group is already ready for another comeback! Seventeen's label Pledis Entertainment announced yesterday that Seungkwan is ending his break and will release a new album with the others in October. At the beginning of July, the singer canceled his activities for health reasons.
We're happy that he is fit again and can't wait to see what the boy group has prepared for us this time!
Weeekly is finally ready for a comeback!
One year and five months, or 17 months, or 68 weeks. That's how long it has been since the cheerful girl group Weeekly last released an album. In March 2022, “Play Game: Awake” came out, including the title song “Ven para”. The general public probably knows Weeekly mostly for their hit “After School”, which stormed the charts over two years ago.
In April of this year, there was finally news when it was confirmed that four members would compete in the Mnet survival show “Queendom Puzzle”: Jihan, Soeun, Soojin and Zoa. Jihan even made it to the finale, but unfortunately wasn't voted into the Top 7, who will soon debut in the project group EL7Z Up.
But fans still have a reason to be happy, because yesterday, just one day after the finale, Weeekly finally announced a comeback in October! No further details are known yet, but we're excited to see the members' development: Welcome back Weeekly!
As we say goodbye to the summer season, the K-Pop industry is ushering in a new wave of music and performances that will make our hearts beat faster. With a variety of comebacks stretching across September and October, fans can look forward to a musical journey that will certainly leave a lasting impression!
