K-Pop is undoubtedly off to a strong start in 2025, with memorable comebacks from veteran idols and rookie groups alike. It builds anticipation for the coming month, where a number of well-known K-pop names will be returning to the spotlight. This includes BTS Jin, TXT, MEOVV, and Riize, just to name a few! Knowing their reputations, these comebacks will definitely be worth the wait! Here are the top upcoming May comebacks to listen to this year and what we know about them so far:
MEOVV <MY EYES OPEN VVIDE>
Part of The Black Label, MEOVV made a strong impact upon their debut just last year. Despite being rookies, this team instantly drew attention for their powerful performances and undeniable charisma. On April 28th at 6PM (KST), they are releasing their pre-release single “HANDS UP,” and on May 12th, their first EP album <MY EYES OPEN VVIDE>! With one teaser showing a lightning-filled sky and another with the group striking an elegant pose in front of a waterfall, the album theme appears to be elemental-related. It’ll be exciting to see the performances they’ve planned because, knowing MEOVV, we’ll be getting energy!
BTS Jin <Echo>
As the charming vocalist of BTS, Jin’s solo music is always welcoming news for ARMYs, and this upcoming comeback is no exception! On May 16th, he is scheduled to release his 2nd mini-album <Echo>, six months after his feel-good EP <Happy>. This new comeback is all about rock, and Jin is serving a brand new look to match—in the <Echo> concept photos, Jin can be seen rocking a shaggy hairstyle and casual 90s fashion. The vintage vibes of these teasers are to die for, and it’s clear Jin is entering an exciting new era with his music.
TXT <Love Language>
Moas will know that romantic songs are one of TXT’s fortes, and this comeback is all about love! The boys’ upcoming single <Love Language> is dropping on May 2nd, and the teasers are already building hype for their new “lovestruck boys” concept. The photos show playful group shots of the members—it seems that they’re moving on from their emotional rock era with “I Know I Love You” and ”LO$ER=LO♡ER”, to sweet serenade vibe songs! Either way, it looks like this comeback will be joining their other love-themed bops and sweeping Moas off their feet!

It’s safe to say Riize was an unstoppable force with their music and performances last year. They released their first mini-album <RIIZING> was an instant hit, selling over 1 million copies in four days! The tracks showed the members’ versatility in pulling off diverse genres like house in “Impossible” and R&B in their fan-favorite, “Honestly.” Well, this year, Riize will be releasing their first-ever full-length album!
