K-Pop Releases to Put a Spring in Your Step

When the world seems embroiled in turmoil and life is dogged by uncertainty, what people really need is some good, toe-tapping tunes to release all that pent-up anxiety and give themselves a little break from their worries. Luckily, K-Pop artists are ready to oblige their fans with a whole new line-up of releases.

A number of talented artists in the K-Pop firmament are due to release a single or an album this March, so here is a list of the best ones to follow to keep marching on.

Bang Yong-guk (ex-BAP)

The 31-year-old rapper, singer, rapper and bestselling author used to be a member of boyband BAP until he left TS Entertainment in August 2018. The former leader of the popular group returned from military service in September 2021 and established his one-artist company Consent. He is set to release his first solo album named '2' on 2 March.

One of the best-known K-Pop acts, all the girls from (G)-idle are involved in writing their music and all stages of production. Originally a six-member band, (G)-idle will present their latest material for the first time as a quintet, since Soojin quit the group in August 2021 after becoming caught up in a bullying controversy. The group already announced the tracklist of the album 'I Never Die' with lead single 'Tomboy'. The album is due to be released on 14 March.
