2023 will be the most thrilling year after several countries declared themselves free from the covid-19 pandemic, and South Korea was no exception.

This opportunity was put to good use by South Korean entertainment agencies by announcing the comeback schedule for their artists in 2023. Even since January, many K-pop idols have made comebacks.

Of course, this year’s comeback feels special. K-pop idols can meet fans directly during the premiere of their songs without worrying about a deadly virus like in previous years.

Rows of worldwide K-pop idols also complement the comeback excitement in 2023, such as Taeyang BigBang, Twice, TXT, and many more.

With the excitement of a comeback in 2023, we will discuss several comebacks from K-pop idols this year.

New Jeans

The rookie girl group under Ador Entertainment had great success with their comeback titled “OMG”. After previously blowing fans and non-fans alike with the theoretical pre-single Ditto, New Jeans is back with “OMG” on January 2, 2023.

The song “OMG” is a hip-hop and R&B song with a UK Garage and Trap rhythm. This song is like a breath of fresh air sung by K-pop idols. It’s no wonder that at the time of its release, “OMG” managed to dominate the charts and trends in more than 40 countries.

In the list of b-sides in OMG’s album, there is “Ditto” which proves that New Jeans is a rookie girl group to be reckoned with.

Taeyang BigBang ft Jimin BTS

BigBang’s Taeyang and BTS Jimin took the world by storm with their grand collaboration on the song “VIBE” on January 13, 2023. “VIBE” won high numbers on the music charts. Not surprisingly, Taeyang and Jimin are popular K-pop idols worldwide.

Their singing and dancing abilities are no longer in doubt, as a result, their collaboration was very successful in impressing fans. The rhythm of this song is full of vigor and suits Taeyang and Jimin’s energy as the main dancers in their respective groups.

In the song, Taeyang sings the lyrics about a girl who has a cool vibe and catches his attention. Taeyang also describes the woman he likes as a complement to him.

Not much different from Taeyang, Jimin BTS sings lyrics full of praise for a woman. Jimin also sings romantic lyrics about how his world fell apart before meeting this woman.

Jinyoung GOT7

On January 18, 2023, Got7’s Jinyoung released the song “Cotton Candy”. This song is an expression of his feelings for those who love and support him, as well as being a farewell song before he enlists in the military. What’s more special, Jinyoung is directly involved in writing lyrics and participating in song composition.

The vibe that comes when you first listen to “Cotton Candy” is warm and comfortable. Undoubtedly, Jinyoung’s vocals are very good in the rendition of this song.

Not only audio but “Cotton Candy” also has a charming music video. You will see how Jinyong dances agilely there.

NCT 127

NCT 127 released the album “Repackaged Ay-Yo” on January 25, 2023. On the same day, they launched a single music video with the same title via the SMTOWN YouTube channel.

The album “Ay-Yo – The 4th Album Repackage” has three new songs, including the single of the same name, “Ay-Yo”. NCT 127’s previous song “2 Baddies” attracted listeners’ attention with the non-stop chorus during the concert.

Meanwhile, NCT 127’s latest track, “Ay-Yo” takes a much more polished approach with repetitive beats, subtle piano accents, and a synthesizer-led chorus. As hinted at last year, they also feature unexpected musical moments, such as when smooth-voiced vocalist Jaehyun kicks off part two with a rap.

Tomorrow by Together (TXT)

K-pop boy group TXT made a comeback on January 27, 2023, with a mini album titled “The Name Chapter: Temptation”. When I first heard the title of this album, what I thought was ‘Very TXT’.

Just like the group’s previous albums, “The Name Chapter: Temptation” adopts a conceptual storytelling method and a comprehensive story weaves together the entire album, according to agency Big Hit Music.

The new album tells the story of young people who decide to embark on a long journey for the sake of their future but are swayed by the temptations in front of them.

Lead single “Sugar Rush Ride,” an alternative dance-pop song that sings about an emotional roller coaster ride as the protagonist is shaken by the devil’s temptations. Interesting right?

TWICE

TWICE comeback on March 10, 2023, with a mini album titled “Ready to Be” with the main song titled “Set Me Free”. Even though there was debate about TWICE among fans about this comeback, the album Ready to Be managed to rank 2 on the Billboard 200.

Startling? Of course. But don’t be surprised, because TWICE is indeed one of the popular K-pop girl groups and always releases songs that are easy to listen to.

KAI EXO

Kai EXO has returned to launching his latest work entitled “Rover”, on March 13, 2023. His latest mini album consists of 6 songs, namely Rover, Black Mirror, Bomba, Say You Love Me, Slidin’, and Sinner.

Kai’s mini album this time has a different genre than usual. In the previous mini-album, Kai demonstrated his vocal and dance abilities limited to the R&B genre, while “Rover” will show Kai’s ability in the R&B genre combined with various other genres.
