April 2024 is a destiny-defining month as several K-pop acts make a grand entrance in a bid to solidify and expand their eminence grounds. Entertainment industries, from YG to SM entertainment, are on the lookout to amplify their project groups to another level with some making up for lost glory due to controversies while others aim at rebranding their image. Here are some of the 5 notable K-pop groups’ comebacks in April 2024.
1. BABYMONSTER
The iconic YG Entertainment’s rookie girl band, which debuted last year and went viral for the “Batter Up” and “Stuck in the Middle” singles, is set to make a groundbreaking comeback this April 2024. The rebirth is scheduled to happen through the Summer Sonic music festival in Japan which features other globally renowned musicians and Japan’s top local artists. The confirmation of BABYMONSTER’s Ahyeon is an additional incentive given her debut had been delayed because of health issues. BABYMONSTER is also scheduled to release the BABYMONS7ER first mini album on April 1. The album title is a thrill to fans as the number ‘7’ in the album name symbolizes wholeness and the comeback of BABYMOSTER band as a whole unit with all members on board.
2. TOMORROW X TOGETHER
Famously known as TXT, TOMORROW X TOGETHER is making a grand comeback this April 2024 after a series of mini-episodes (2020’s Blue Hour minisode and 2022’s Thursday’s Child minisode) that have kept the fans craving for more. TXT is scheduled to release the long-awaited TOMORROW mini album on April 1 after its trailer, released early this month, created an online frenzy among fans. The TOMORROW mini-album comes months after the Name Chapter: Freefall 3rd album which has become an anthem to TXT’s fandom. TXT will also be performing in the ‘Music Bank in Antwerp’ event scheduled for April 20, 2024, at the Sportpaleis, Belgium.
3. BOYNEXTDOOR
This entertainment giant act is reportedly on a journey to reclaim its glory through a groundbreaking comeback this April. BOYNEXTDOOR made it to Korea’s most coveted and largest music platform, Melon Chart, with its May 2023 debut song “Who” which topped the chart’s 100 top songs. Their subsequent “Why” single further elevated their glory and accredited them a massive global fandom. BOYNEXTDOOR is scheduled to make a comeback with the highly anticipated EP titled HOW? The boy band is set to unveil the EP at KCON HONG KONG 2024 on April 15.
4. ONF
This “ON/OFF’ song hitmaker is on a quest to reclaim its eminence in the K-pop world this April 2024 with its 8th mini album titled Beautiful Shadow. ONF ventured into the K-pop industry back in August 2017 and has been a force to reckon with throughout the years. ONF’s latest album storyline is reported to be a continuation of the story in the band’s “Beautiful Beautiful” hit single (from ONF group’s 1st full album titled ONF: MY NAME). The Beautiful Shadow mini album is set to be released on 8th April and will be followed by the boy group’s ‘SPOTLIGHT’ 2024 solo concert on 6th and 7th April at KBS Arena, Seoul.
5.RIIZE
RIIZE is rising beyond its recent controversy of copying marketing strategies with the highly anticipated April 2024 comeback. Despite having debuted not too long ago, in September 2023, RIIZE has amassed a huge global following which further intensifies their April comeback craze. The “Love 119” hit-maker is scheduled to initiate the comeback with a performance at the ‘Music Bank in Antwerp’ event on 20th April at Sportpaleis, Belgium. RIIZE will then go full gear with the 2024 RIIZE FanCon Tour ‘Rising Day’ which is expected to run from May through August and will take place in Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, and the Philippines.
