HYBE Labels’ alleged K-pop artists’ schedule for the first half of 2023 has been leaked, revealing some fan-favorite idols making their comebacks and solo debut. If this claim is true, there will also be new artists set to be introduced.
However, fans should only take this revelation with a grain of salt, as Hybe itself is yet to confirm the news. But based on the already-announced comebacks on the list, it looks like it’s quite credible.
January to March Comebacks and Solo Debut
The list obtained by Koreaboo showed the artists who would make a comeback this January is NewJeans, who recently completed their return with a new album OMG.
Next is TXT, who’s also scheduled for a January 27 comeback with a new album, The Name Chapter: Temptation. The list also noted BTS’s Jimin’s collaboration with someone who happened to be Big Bang’s Taeyang, releasing their new song, “Vibe,” on January 13.
For February, there will be two comebacks: Seventeen and Bang-Solo.
