As the first month of the new year reignited the third-gen K-pop vigour, February comebacks will pave the way for the Valentine’s spirit. Even though a full-fledged group release is still out of sight, BLACKPINK members Lisa and Jisoo have offered a comforting reminder through their upcoming solos that they are not going anywhere.
The latter of the two is especially going throttle with epic comebacks on both the music and acting scenes. Continuing the trend, Jennie will roll out her star-packed album, featuring talents like Childish Gambino and Dua Lipa in March.
Actress Jisoo + Soloist Jisoo: Hottest Feb comeback
Jisoo’s recent February K-pop comeback announcement has confirmed that her brand-new bop will be out on the day of love. Her fans stay blessed as the “actress Jisoo” agenda also lives on this month. Her new K-drama Newtopia, a zombie comedy, will premiere a week before her highly anticipated musical release.

Heart2Hearts debut on Feb 24
On top of that, SM Entertainment is starting the new year with new beginnings. The South Korean label behind K-pop sensations such as NCT, Red Velvet, EXO, SHINee, aespa, Girls’ Generation and others is all set to welcome a new girl group to its expansive musical banner. The forthcoming debut will be an 8-member outfit, the Korean label’s first rookie girl group since aespa in 2020.
More girl group comebacks: MADEIN boycott demanded
Beloved girl groups STAYC and IVE are also returning with new music soon. Even rookie music act MADEIN has announced its undate comeback for February.
However, K-pop loyalists aren’t as thrilled about this particular musical schedule following Gaeun’s exit. The unfortunate development came after the CEO of the group’s agency, 143 Entertainment, was named in sexual assault allegations. Although the company has officially denied the claims, fans are still iffy about supporting the group amid rising suspicions, resulting in calls to boycott the upcoming OT6 revival.
Here are the next month’s K-pop releases announced so far.
