The year has gone by swiftly, and it is already time to discuss the K-pop comebacks in October 2023 that have already been confirmed by groups. Releases nearing the tenth month tend to be even more bombastic and extravagant because of the upcoming year-end award ceremonies and performances.
SEVENTEEN recently announced the release of their mini-album, Seventeenth Heaven, on October 23, while (G)I-DLE special EP, earlier scheduled for September, was moved to the sixth of the month. Well-known soloists like B.I, BOBBY (formerly of IKON), and MAMAMOO's Wheein are also making their K-pop comebacks in October 2023, making it a full month of exciting new music for fans.
Apart from Korean-language comebacks, artists like CNBLUE and ITZY will release Japanese albums - a fact that speaks to the amount of popularity that Korean artists have in their neighboring country.
Disclaimer: This list takes into account only those K-pop comebacks in October 2023 that were announced on or before September 25, 2023.
