We’re almost halfway through the year. But it seems like K-pop hits from our favourite groups are still dropping almost every other week.
Not sure when your favourite songs might arrive? Fret not, HallyuSG summarises what you should expect next month below.
1. ITZY
ITZY is about to shut down naysayers questioning why they’re named one of the top fourth-generation girl groups. The fourth generation of K-pop groups loosely refers to K-pop acts who made their debut after 2018.
The quintet — comprising Yeji, Lia, Ryujin, Chaeryeong and Yuna — are coming back with a new mini-album. It is titled Kill My Doubt, and will arrive at the end of next month.
They will treat fans to three music videos: two of which will be for their B-side tracks and the last for their title number.
The first music video, for Bet On Me, will drop on 3 Jul while the one for None of My Business on 24 Jul. The last one, for Cake, will drop on 31 Jul.
2. EXO
K-pop veterans EXO are making a triumphant return with their seventh album Exist on 10 Jul.
They previously dropped a pre-release ballad Let Me In (2023) weeks ago on 10 Jul. Later this week, they will also release another track, titled Hear Me Out, before the official album comes.
3. NewJeans
Continuing their digital Y2K theme and aesthetic, NewJeans will release an eponymous single and another track titled Super Shy on 7 Jul.

The band’s official 2nd EP, Get Up, will come on 21 Jul. There will be a total of six tracks in the album, all of which will come with music videos.
4. ZEROBASEONE
Following the end of the survival show, Boy’s Planet (2023), the group consisting of the top nine winners of the show is set to debut their new mini-album, Youth In The Shade, 10 Jul.
The tracklist of the album will be released early next month.
