If you make a playlist just for the month of March, it will easily fill an A4 sheet of paper. You might lose yourself in counting them and then have to count them again. This month‘s K-pop comeback schedule is reminiscent of a ‘war’.
From the 7th to the 24th, at least one team will make a comeback every day. The comeback gate will be opened on the 7th by BTS’s J-Hope and BLACKPINK‘s Jennie, who are the epitome of ‘Together Apart’. Jennie, who has sufficiently warmed up by releasing new songs including ‘Mantra’ and ‘ExtraL’, will be releasing her first full-length solo album, ‘Ruby’, and J-Hope, who was discharged from the military last year, will be releasing the single album, ‘Sweeet Dreams’.
BTS and BLACKPINK, as the ‘representatives’ of global K-pop, their comeback is receiving great attention not only in Korea but also around the world. Their promotions are also on a global scale, and for example, J-Hope recently announced a solo appearance on ‘The Jimmy Fallon Show’, one of North America’s leading TV talk shows.

Following BTS and BLACKPINK, top-tier male and female groups have also joined the ‘March comeback battle’. Representative examples include the groups Treasure, Seraphim, NMIXX, and The Boyz. Treasure completed the three-way battle by releasing J-Hope and Jennie‘s special mini album ‘Pleasure’ on the 7th, while Seraphim will release their fifth mini album with the unusual title ‘Hot’ on the 14th, White Day.

The Boyz and Nmix will make a comeback on the 17th. The Boyz, who have all successfully transferred to new agencies, will release their third full-length album ‘Unexpected’, while Nmix, who have established themselves with ‘New Performance Queens’, will release their fourth mini-album ‘Fe304:Forward’.
The appearance of the new ‘super unit’ of the top group SEVENTEEN is also a point to watch for in their K-pop comeback this month. It is ‘Hoshi X Woozi’, the collaboration of members Hoshi and Woozi.
This is SEVENTEEN’s second unit release this year, following their representative unit Bu Seok Soon, and the two will release the single album ‘Beam’(BEAM) on the 10th. Member Hoshi, prior to his duet with Woozi, released the single ‘Teleparty’ as a member of Bu Seok-soon earlier this year, which received an explosive response.
