If you’ve somehow made it this far into the 5th gen K-pop wave without crossing paths with 82MAJOR, now’s the time to pay attention. Since debuting in 2023, this six-member group has been building steady momentum by balancing synchronized, high-impact performances with a sound that refuses to be boxed in a specific category. Now with their third mini album SILENCE SYNDROME, which was released April 14, they’re stepping into a new chapter.

Multinational girl group X:IN has made a much-awaited comeback with its third mini album, Defend Myself. The album is also the group’s first under its new agency BeBy Entertainment. This album captures the intricacies of X:IN’s personal experiences as the members deal with vulnerabilities and challenges of being in the spotlight. Defend Myself was released digitally on May 17, 2025.

Just eight months after their previous comeback, K-pop group P1Harmony returned to a dazzling stage with their explosive 8th mini-album DUH! on May 8.
