K-pop groups and soloists drop a variety of albums, from single albums to full-length albums. However, not all artists get to release studio albums. In fact, there are some who haven't released one to date, while others have only two. Below are several examples.

BLACKPINK is one of the known K-pop groups that has released one studio album to date. Their first full-length album, "THE ALBUM," came out back in October 2020 and features the title track "Lovesick Girls," along with their previous hits.
BLACKPINK is currently gearing up for a comeback, which is expected to be in the second half of the year, but details about it are yet to be revealed. Hence, it's uncertain whether a new studio album is coming.
VICTON
VICTON is already five and a half years in the music industry since their debut in November 2016, but they have released only one studio album, so far.
Titled "Voice: The Future Is Now," the full album arrived in January 2021.
AOA
AOA debuted in 2012 and their only Korean full-length album is "Angels' Knock," which was dropped in January 2017. At present, the girl group has three remaining members, hence, it's unsure whether it will be followed by another studio album.

ONF
After almost four years since their debut in August 2017, ONF finally dropped their first full album, "ONF: My Name," in February 2021. The album contains a total of 11 tracks including the title song "Beautiful Beautiful." They are yet to drop a new one.
SF9
While SF9 has released four studio albums, only one of those is in Korean. Entitled "First Collection," the full album came out in January 2020 and consists of 10 songs, one of which is the title track "Good Guy." They haven't released their second full-length album, as of this writing.

In their almost eight-year career in the K-pop scene, Red Velvet has only released two Korean studio albums: "The Red" in September 2015 and "Perfect Velvet" in November 2017. It remains to be seen just how long their third full album will arrive.
Oh My Girl
Oh My Girl is another K-pop girl group with two full-length albums to date, titled "The Fifth Season" and "Real Love." It took them almost three years to release their second studio album "Real Love," which was dropped in March 2022. Given that they just released their second full album, it might take a while before a new one will be produced.
MAMAMOO
Finally, MAMAMOO is an eight-year-old K-pop group with only two Korena studio albums so far, entitled "Melting" and "Reality in Black." It took them nearly three years to drop their second full-length album "Reality in Black." The quartet is set to return in the second half of this year-but it is unknown whether it will be with a new studio album.
