Several early-generation K-pop groups are making a comeback in 2025, exciting fans across the world.

Baby V.O.X, a 1990s girl group, reunited for the first time in 14 years at the KBS Song Festival in December 2024. Their performance gained over 3 million views on YouTube.

2NE1 started their world tour “Welcome Back” in October 2024, performing in cities like Jakarta, Manila, Tokyo, and Hong Kong. They will continue their tour in Taipei, Bangkok, and Kuala Lumpur and hold an encore concert in Seoul in April 2025.

BIGBANG reunited in late 2024, performing their new song “Home Sweet Home” at the MAMA Awards. This marked their first collaboration in over two years.

Lovelyz, a third-generation group, released a new single, “November,” and held concerts in Seoul, Macau, and Taiwan.

GFriend reunited for their 10th anniversary, releasing the album “Season of Memories” and starting their tour in Seoul with stops in Yokohama and Hong Kong.

Experts predict more reunions in 2025, as fan demand grows. The “seven-year curse” (where groups disband after their contracts end) is expected to decrease as idols become independent artists and continue to stay active in the industry.
