October 2026 K-Pop Comebacks: 5 More Artists & Release Dates

October 2026 continues to bring new music from K-pop groups across different genres, from EVNNE’s latest mini album to BABYMONSTER’s upcoming digital single and new releases from RIIZE, AND2BLE, and XLOV.

If you are looking for more releases beyond the major comebacks already covered this month, these five artists are worth adding to your October K-pop calendar. Here is a closer look at their release dates, album details, and what fans can expect from each comeback.

1. EVNNE – “on: our noise”

Release Date: October 19, 2026

EVNNE returned on October 19 with their sixth mini album, “on: our noise.” The release explores how the group discovers and develops its own sound by noticing and exploring the different noises around it.

The five-track mini album features the title track “LOOK AT MA,” along with four additional songs:

• LOOK AT MA
• BLESS
• kNOW WASSUP
• A-ok
• That's OMG

One notable detail is that all five members participated in writing the lyrics for “LOOK AT MA.” The title track’s promotional teasers also feature a rough, industrial-looking setting, matching the album’s focus on finding the group’s own sound.

“on: our noise” is EVNNE’s sixth mini album and another step in the group’s musical development. Fans can listen to the release on major music streaming platforms.

2. BABYMONSTER – “DESERVE”

Release Date: October 23, 2026

BABYMONSTER will release a new digital single, “DESERVE,” on October 23, marking the group’s first new song in approximately four months following “SUGAR HONEY ICE TEA,” released in June.

According to YG Entertainment founder and chief producer Yang Hyun-suk, “DESERVE” is a slower-paced song with a strong emotional intensity. The track is expected to combine the members’ delicate vocals with the powerful vocal performances for which the group is known.

The single is part of BABYMONSTER’s continuing musical activities while the group is also carrying out its second world tour, “CHUUM.” YG has additionally said that the group is aiming to release another album in early 2027.

Unlike a full mini album, “DESERVE” is being released as a digital single. Fans can look forward to a new musical direction without having to wait for the group’s next full album.

3. RIIZE – “Insomnia”

Release Date: October 26, 2026

RIIZE is set to return with a new digital single, “Insomnia,” on October 26 at 12 AM KST.

The group first announced its October comeback during its third-anniversary fan meeting, “Ch. RIIZE : ON AIR,” in September. Teasers for “Insomnia” began appearing in October, revealing the title and confirming the release schedule.

The single follows RIIZE’s previous music activities and arrives ahead of the group’s planned second full-length album, “EMOTIION,” which has been announced for spring 2027.

Although further musical details about “Insomnia” are still limited, the teaser rollout has started the countdown to the group’s next release.

For fans following RIIZE’s activities, the digital single offers a new release to look forward to before the group’s next full album.

4. AND2BLE – “Sequence 02: Attraction”

Release Date: October 27, 2026

AND2BLE will release its second mini album, “Sequence 02: Attraction,” on October 27 at 6 PM KST.

The album follows the group’s first mini album, “Sequence 01: Curiosity,” and continues the sequence-based naming of its releases. Pre-orders opened on October 6 at 11 AM KST.

The album is available in several formats, including Observe, Attraction, Archive, Binder, Metal Film Keyring, N Cable Holder, and POCAALBUM versions. The different formats offer fans a range of physical and collectible options.

AND2BLE is also scheduled to hold a fan showcase on October 27 at 8 PM KST at Blue Square Woori WON Banking Hall in Seoul.

At the time of writing, the full tracklist and title track details have not been confirmed in the official album notice. Fans should check AND2BLE’s official channels for further information as the release date approaches.

5. XLOV – “i=!”

Release Date: October 28, 2026

XLOV will make its next comeback with its third mini album, “i=!”, scheduled for release on October 28 at 6 PM KST.

The four-member group — Wumuti, Rui, Hyun, and Haru — will return with an eight-track release featuring two title tracks: “HUSH” and “Tooth Gem Chiwawa.”

The announced tracklist also includes two unit songs, “ALL TIED UP,” performed by Rui and Haru, and “Silence,” performed by Wumuti and Hyun. The album features additional versions of the title tracks, including a sped-up version of “Tooth Gem Chiwawa” and instrumental tracks.

Members also participated in the album’s creation. Wumuti is credited with lyrics and composition for “Tooth Gem Chiwawa,” while members contributed to the unit songs and other tracks.

There is one important update for fans planning to purchase the physical album: the agency postponed the original pre-order schedule that was set to begin on October 11. A revised date had not been announced in the notice available as of October 19, so fans should check the group’s official channels before placing an order.

With two title tracks and new unit combinations, “i=!” offers fans several different sides of XLOV’s music in one release.

October 2026 Is Still Full of K-Pop Releases

The second half of October brings a variety of new music, with EVNNE’s “on: our noise” arriving on October 19, followed by BABYMONSTER’s “DESERVE” on October 23.

RIIZE will release “Insomnia” on October 26, while AND2BLE’s “Sequence 02: Attraction” arrives on October 27 and XLOV closes out this selection with “i=!” on October 28.

Whether you prefer a digital single, a mini album, or a release with multiple physical versions and collectible items, these five artists offer plenty to follow throughout the month.
