The "SM acquisition battle" is causing an unprecedented storm in the K-pop industry, but the music does not stop.

Star singers from large agencies are predicting a series of comebacks.

Solo comebacks by big stars from SM as well as Hive will continue, and the two companies are continuing from "management dispute" to "music chart competition."

On top of that, YG also participated in the war.

In other words, K-pop's "Big Three Battle" has been completed.

It is a stage that will once again prove an individual's ability in that they put down the group's halo and all are "alone."

 

There is a singer who participates the latest and makes a comeback the fastest.

It's J-Hope from BTS.

J-Hope announced his solo comeback soon after applying for cancellation of the "postponement of enlistment" on the 26th of last month.

 

According to his agency Big Hit Music, J-Hope will release his new solo single "on the street" on the 3rd. "On the Street" is a lo-fi hip-hop genre song that combines easy-to-listen melodies with warm lyrics.

J-Hope participated in writing lyrics and composing, giving hope and warmth to the song.

 

An official from Big Hit Music said, "J-Hope used 'On the Street' as the motif of the song, where various situations such as meetings, dreams, and memories unfold.

Along with the artist's dream that began on the street, it has a complex meaning of 'the way to walk together' with fans around the world."

Along with the release of the song, the music video will also be released on the same day.

 

SHINee Onew will return on the 6th, three days after J-Hope's comeback.

According to his agency SM Entertainment, Onew delivers a warm healing message through his first full-length album "Circle" on the 6th of next month.

This album is the first time in 11 months since the second mini-album "DICE" released in April last year.

 

The title song "O (Circle)" is an R&B song that combines arpeggio synth sound, a heavy baseline, and groovy melody.

"Star lyricist" Kim Eana wrote the lyrics.

SM said, "It is a song that compares our lives to nature and conveys comfort with a message that what we go through eventually resembles.

The album contained 10 songs, including the title song.

Among the tracks, "No Parachute" is an indie pop song with an impressive drum rhythm and old school synth sound.

They support their fans through their growing inner stories as they jump into unfamiliar and scary situations.

The sweet voice of consolation played by Onew is expected to be a meaningful album.

After Onew's solo activities, SHINee is also planning to make a comeback as a whole group.

In particular, this year marks the 15th anniversary of SHINee's debut.

As a result, the company plans to release its eighth full-length album around May 25, its debut date.

It is the first album to be released after the youngest Taemin finishes his military service.

 

The second runner for SM's March comeback is EXO's Kai. Kai will return as a solo artist for the first time in a year and four months through his new mini-album "Rover" on the 13th.

It was after the second mini-album "Peaches" released in November 2021.

 

The new album contains six songs, including the title song, which is the same as the album title.

The title song "Rover" is a rhythmical dance genre song with a heavy 808 base and various percussions such as marimba and bell.

"It tells the story of a 'wanderer' who throws away his bound gaze and lives freely," an agency official explained.

 

Along with Kai's solo activities, EXO is also preparing for a "complete comeback" this year.

Suho and Chen were absent from the previous mini-album released in June 2021.

Leader Suho also announced earlier that "EXO will make a comeback in 2023" to mark the new year.

Recently, the entire group was also revealed on the Japanese fan club channel.

 

BTS Jimin also begins his first official solo career.

He is the fourth soloist after J-Hope, Jin, and RM.

Through her first album "FACE" on the 24th, Jimin will be back as a solo singer.

 

The agency said, "Jimin's first solo album 'Face', which is released since his debut, is an album that tells the story of facing himself completely and preparing for a new start as an artist Jimin.

Through 'Face', he will clearly reveal his own music world, including clear tone and delicate performance.

 

"This is the first time Jimin has released a solo album, but he has shown his ability with his solo songs "Lie," "Serendipity" and "With You" (tvN drama "Our Blues" OST), as well as "VIBE" collaborating with Bigbang Taeyang. His creative ability was also verified through his first self-composed song "Promise."The album includes pre-released songs "Set Me Free Pt. 2" and title songs "Like Crazy," as well as "Face-off," "Interlude: Dive," and "Alone."

Jimin also worked on the song for his solo album.

 

The only female solo among the big group members is BLACKPINK's Jisoo. The date of Ji-Soo's solo debut has yet to be set.

YG Entertainment, the agency, already said, "We filmed Ji-Soo's solo music video with an overseas all-location in strict secrecy.

 

"YG is giving enormous support to the activities of Ji-Soo, the last soloist of BLACKPINK.

According to YG, Jisoo's music video has invested the largest production cost ever among BLACKPINK videos so far.

An official from the agency said, "Jisoo has been working hard to keep her promise with fans.

Thanks to this, the whole process went smoothly and quickly, he said. "Even in the busy schedule of the world tour, we are putting in extraordinary affection by claiming to record again for the completeness of the album."

Considering YG's average comeback schedule, a comeback in April is expected.

 

Currently, BLACKPINK is conducting the largest K-pop girl group world tour with about 1.5 million people.

He will be on stage as a headliner at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in the U.S. in April and the Hyde Park British Summer Time Festival in July.
