K-pop comebacks you should be looking forward to in March

The K-pop industry right now is over-saturated with groups and idols, and no we ain’t complaining. But keeping up with all the comeback dates can be a little too much to handle, especially if you are a multi-stan. From (G)I-DLE announcing their first comeback as 5 members to Stray Kids unveiling their movie-like trailers for their upcoming album release, March is all packed up.

We are likely to witness some fierce music show competition, with fan-favorite SM Entertainment groups, Red Velvet and NCT Dream both having a comeback this month. Viral queens Brave Girls and second generation legend Sunmi also seem to plan to drop some new music soon.

Here’s a full list of K-pop artists who are all set to have a comeback in March.
