K-pop Dictionary › Comeback

What does Comeback mean in K-pop?

A group's return with a new release and a round of promotions.

Korean
컴백
Say it
keombaek

In K-pop, a comeback does not mean the group was away for a long time. Any new single or album with promotions is called a comeback, even a few months after the last one.

A comeback usually comes with teasers, a music video and several weeks of music show performances.

“Their comeback is next Monday at 6 p.m. KST.”
