Here Are The 5 Phases Before A K-Pop Comeback That Only True Fans Understand
It must be comeback season, because numerous groups are dropping new music. This means new choreography, new outfits, new stages, and a new era. We all have similar experiences before a comeback of our favorite artists. Here are the five phases we cycle through before the fateful comeback day.
1. Curiosity
When your favorite group has been quiet for a while, we all get a little curious and start speculating: What are they up to?
You might see a picture of your bias wearing a hat, and speculate new hair colors are on the horizon. This could only mean one thing: It’s comeback time.
2. Fear
Disclaimer: It’s totally normal if your heart starts to race a few minutes before 12 AM KST.
Knowing that something may happen but not knowing what is sometimes too much for our weak hearts.
Whatever the case, it’s vital to prepare yourself during these times with a good WiFi connection and phone battery.
3. Anticipation
The time has come– they have finally dropped a schedule showing which day there will be concept photos, album teasers, or any other exciting new content.
These tables explain exactly what and when you should expect everything. Ranging from pictures to actual concerts, everything is covered here. The only thing left is…waiting. Oh, the agony.
4. Pain
Once the concept photos are released, looking at your bias’ new hairstyle may cause pain, so tread wisely.
Things such as album spoilers, music video teasers, and tracklists may also be released around this time which can cause extra damage.
It’s around this time you would spam your groupchat with all of your bias’ pics and keyboard smash.
5. Sheer Joy
When all of the anticipation pays off, the music video and album are finally released. Cue the moment of pure bliss as you scream for 3 minutes and 23 seconds straight.
You have now entered the promotional period! Get ready for daily stages, tweets, and more during this new era.
For dealing with that, our advice ends here. We wish you good luck, soldier!
