The month of April has seen some of the hottest and most anticipated comebacks in k-pop. Despite some setbacks due to the tragic Cheonan incident, Rain has returned with his “A Love Song” that’s been faring very well. Lee Hyori has also released her sing “Swing” showing off a new look and sound. However, industry insiders are saying that that’s as hot as it’s going to get until May.
Many other artists and idol groups were expected to return this month as well, but have decided to push back their comeback dates all the way into May. Speculation attributes this to the fact that they don’t want to compete with two of k-pop’s most influential figures and because of the somber tone that the Cheonan tragedy has set for the country. However, they don’t want to push it further than May due to the World Cup games in June.
When May does finally come around, it’s going to be a fierce battle between some of the biggest names in the industry: Son Dambi, Wondergirls, Se7en, SS501, 2NE1, and 4 Minute.
To name a couple specific dates, the Wondergirls have been busy in the US, but are planning to make their official comeback in Korea on May 16th. SS501 is looking at May 1st to release their new mini album, which is quite easy to remember since numerically it’s “5-01”.
