We're only a few days into February, and there have already been great releases from acts like WINNER, 4Minute, Girls' Generation's Taeyeon, and Baek Ji Young. But there's far more from where those came from, which means that February is sure to be an exciting month for K-pop fans around the world.
Following a few releases in Korea on Wednesday including a Reddy collaboration featuring Jay Park and a new song from 2BIC, VIXX's Ravi will bring us his album "R.EBirth" on Feb. 5.
We'll be granted with a few days break until an explosion on Feb. 12, when JYJ's Kim Jaejoong will release his album "No.X" as a gift to fans, despite the fact that he's currently serving in the south Korean army. His pre-release song, "Do You Know" was released on Jan. 26.
AOA's new subunit AOA Cream and Bigflo's Jungkyun will also release songs on the 12.
While no songs have planned releases for Feb. 14, some K-pop stars are sure to surprise their fans on Valentine's Day with romantic tunes.
On Feb. 15, DSP Media girl group Rainbow picks up where recently disbanded lablemates Kara left off and will release their upcoming "Prism" album.
Feb. 16 brings an exciting return to the K-pop scene, with three SS501 members regrouping to form Double S 301. The "ETERNAL5" album, an apparent nod to the absent members, will be the first release from SS501 members in several years.
B.A.P is back with their "Carnival" album on Feb. 22, while ASTRO and Mamamoo will bring us albums towards the end of the month.
While release dates have yet to be announced, SHINee's Taemin and f(x)'s Amber are set to release new solo songs. Girl groups DIA, BESTie, Cosmic Girls, and Ladies' Code and boy bands DAY6 and NU'EST are also planning releases in February.
