While girl groups will dominate the K-pop calendar in June 2025, influential artists like BTS' J-Hope and ENHYPEN are also on the list.

K-pop comebacks June 2025: Fans are buckled up for the ride that is going to be this month. In a rollercoaster that is poised to only go up, June 2025 has already set the tone for a musical blast that will take listeners’ breath away. Beloved soloist B.I. kicked off the monthly calendar on a high, taking fans on a “Ferris Wheel” ride with his third album “Wonderland.” He then passed on the baton to EXO’s Baekhyun, who shared the “Essence of Reverie,” his fifth mini-album, with the fans on the second day of June.

The impressive journey eventually saw ENHYPEN hop back onto its buzzworthy wave, continuing the applause-worthy K-pop comeback streak with its sixth mini-album “Desire: Unleash” on June 5, which is today. Despite having already tasted multiple hits these past days, Hallyu enthusiasts’ harmonious voyage has just begun.
