Major K-Pop Idols Set for Exciting Comebacks in 2025
The anticipation surrounding the return of iconic K-Pop idol groups is reaching a fever pitch as they prepare for a thrilling year ahead in 2025. Leading the charge is HYBE, the powerhouse conglomerate that has an impressive roster of artists planned for a comeback.
BTS: Celebrating a Decade of Impact
After a hiatus due to mandatory military enlistments, BTS is poised to resume full group activities following the discharge of its members in June. This marks a notable comeback as they plan to release a brand-new album and embark on a global tour in honor of the 10th anniversary of their acclaimed EP, The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, Part 1, which debuted in 2015. According to Asia Economy, the excitement surrounding BTS’s return is anticipated to boost HYBE’s sales significantly and further fuel the international K-Pop phenomenon.
SEVENTEEN: 10 Years of Music and Memories
Similarly, SEVENTEEN will release a new album and undertake a world tour to commemorate their 10th anniversary this year. However, the group will face some challenges with full group promotions, as certain members are expected to enlist in the first half of 2025. To bridge this period, their label Pledis plans to ramp up unit activities with BSS and solo initiatives from Woozi and Hoshi.
NewJeans: Shifting Dynamics and New Releases
In another development, ADOR’s NewJeans is set to continue their promotions amidst ongoing tensions with their label. Fans eagerly await a potential new album under what is speculated to be their new group name, Jeanz.
SM Entertainment: Global Tours and New Talent
SMTOWN LIVE will commence its events in Seoul on January 1-2, followed by performances in Mexico City and Los Angeles in May, with subsequent stops in London and Tokyo throughout the summer. Additionally, the company plans to unveil a new girl group after a five-year hiatus since aespa’s debut, indicating SM’s commitment to evolving its artist lineup.
JYP Entertainment: New Faces and Major Tours
JYP Entertainment is gearing up for Stray Kids’ robust foray into the global market with a large-scale world tour set for 2025, including stadium shows in North America. This month, JYP will debut its new six-member boy group, KickFlip, which aims to integrate street dance and skateboarding into their performances, showcasing their exceptional skills to differentiate themselves in the idol scene.
YG Entertainment: BLACKPINK’s Grand Return
Lastly, YG Entertainment is set to celebrate the return of BLACKPINK after their successful solo projects. The group is expected to release a new album in May, coupled with a world tour across Asia, North America, and Europe, further solidifying their impact on the global stage. Additionally, YG plans to launch another idol group focused on hip-hop and R&B following the success of BABYMONSTER last year.
As we look ahead, 2025 promises to be a landmark year for K-Pop with these anticipated returns and exciting new music, ensuring fans remain engaged and inspired by their favorite artists.
