The K-pop world is expanding at an ever-increasing rate. In March 2024, several new K-pop rookies will debut to kickstart their careers in the Korean music industry. From HYBE’s latest girl group, I’LL-IT, to Brave Entertainment’s Candy Shop, ComingSoon looks at the most anticipated K-pop debuts set for March.
The journey of debut for K-pop idols has evolved significantly with each new generation. In the past, agencies would tease pictures and short videos of rookies before their debut, leaving fans eagerly awaiting their official introduction to interact with them.
Now, the rookies get as much exposure as a seasoned idol even before their debut. For example, HYBE’s upcoming female K-pop group I’LL-IT recently made their Paris Fashion Show debut even before starting their music career.
So, without further ado, let’s look at some of the most exciting artists coming to claim K-pop’s top spot soon enough.
Candy Shop
After Brave Girls, music label Brave Entertainment is ready to make another girl group’s debut, named Candy Shop. The new K-pop group will have four members: Sui, Sarang, Soram, and Yuina.
Brave Entertainment says, “Candy Shop is a compound word of ‘CAtch N Draw Youth’, which means ‘let’s catch and draw youth,’ and ‘Shop’ symbolizes the space that connects members and listeners.”
The label further noted: “The members, who have a variety of charms like the colorful ‘Candy’ have the ambition to lead listeners’ sympathy by presenting music that represents their generation.”
Candy Shop will officially make their debut on March 27, 2024.
