3. LESSERAFIM Comeback
Ever since their impactful debut with “FEARLESS,” Le Sserafim has maintained success and established themselves as one of the top 4th gen girl groups. Thanks to their latest EP, “EASY,” they took spots in Billboard’s Top 100 with their playful title track, “EASY” and “Smart.” With catchy lyrics and distinct vocals, it’s clear why their songs are so loved. Their next comeback is scheduled for late August, and while not much is known, they will likely continue to focus on the theme of confidence and empowerment, which remains a constant in their music.

4. NMIXX Comeback
Blending genres is nothing out of the ordinary within K-Pop, but no one does it like NMIXX. This JYP girl group is known for switching up their music halfway through their songs, creating interesting mashups between tracks. Their previous album, Fe3O4: BREAK, released in January, had a title track, “DASH,” that conveyed NMIXX’s will to move forward despite the restrictions and obstacles the world places in front of them. Continuing on this theme, fans are waiting in anticipation for their next summer comeback on August 19th with Fe3O4: STICK OUT, hoping to hear more of their rich signature sounds.
5. Taeyeon Comeback
With a soulful voice and impressive singing skills, Taeyeon has established herself as a leading soloist in K-Pop. Whether it’s moving ballads like “Fine” or fun pop songs like “Weekend,” you’ll find she has excellent music no matter the genre. This year, she released the single “Heaven,” a groovy dance-pop song accompanied by an MV with a spooky aesthetic. But that’s not all – she is also scheduled to release her 4th full-length album in August, and if “Heaven” is any indication, fans have much to look forward to.
