Comeback Corner

We’re Back! K-Pop in 2026 (aka the Year of BTS)

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2501398/fan_mail/new] We’re back! 🎙️✨ Comeback Corner Season 2 kicks off with a mini Episode 0, where we set the stage for K-pop in 2026 - and it’s already wild. We bring back our regular segment (yes, the SEVENTEEN bias line update, Season 2 edition). M is still loyal to Mingyu - even in his terrifying Tokyo mask era - while Zuzu starts fresh, officially bias-free (with a soft spot for S.Coups aka Scoopy 🍒). Jakarta concert dreams? Sadly… not happening. We break down what’s coming just in the first few months of the year: DK x SK’s mini album, EXO’s album, BTS tour announcement (spoiler: we got tickets 👀), and the CxM Double Up Party in Incheon - our favorite concert so far. Looking ahead, we’ve got ATEEZ’s comeback, BLACKPINK’s album, and BTS album dropping on March 20 (BTS Day!) - plus MV reactions coming for everything. We also talk BIGBANG’s anniversary and tour, KATSEYE at Coachella, and rookies like CORTIS and ADP - even in what’s clearly a BTS year. 2026 is shaping up to be exciting, chaotic, and very expensive. More concerts, more reactions, more episodes, and more guests are coming. 🎉 Giveaway Reminder: Our Jennie x Stanley Water Bottle giveaway is still open! Check @comeback.corner on TikTok and Instagram for entry details. 👉 Like, follow, and subscribe - and join Comeback Corner for the ride through K-pop in 2026. 🎶✨

Dream Concert 2025 Madness ft. ATEEZ & SEVENTEEN

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2501398/fan_mail/new] This week on Comeback Corner, we’re recapping our unforgettable experience at Dream Concert 2025 in Abu Dhabi - and yes, we’re still not over it. We kick things off with our SEVENTEEN bias line update, where Spotify Wrapped 2025 exposed our hearts once again. From crying over Wonwoo’s Leftover to vibing with Minghao and Vernon’s 54321, Mingyu continues to live rent-free in all our minds (and Zuzu’s mum’s). Then we dive into Dream Concert 2025, breaking down the lineup and the performances that changed everything - especially ATEEZ, who officially turned us into ATINYs. With our long-standing love for SEVENTEEN, we’ve embraced our new era as ATINYCARATS. We also shout out standout acts like All(H)Ours, Xikers, Miyeon, Joy & Seulgi (Red Velvet) and more. We go full unhinged talking about ATEEZ’s stage presence - from Hongjoong’s insane charisma, San looking like a literal sculpture, to Mingi causing chaos - before closing with SEVENTEEN’s CxM unit. S.Coups and Mingyu outdid themselves with iconic fits, unreal solos, legendary AJU NICE, and even blessed us with what can only be described as holy water. Dream Concert Abu Dhabi was a 10/10, and don’t miss our season finale next episode.

Is K-Pop Still K-Poping? ft. Katseye Storytime

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2501398/fan_mail/new] This week on Comeback Corner, we’re diving deep after seeing Katseye live in London for their first-ever European fan event! From winning the raffle, snagging freebies, and getting fed (literally) to a surprise Mel C interview with Katseye, we take you through the chaos, energy, and sheer performance brilliance of the group. But the live experience got us thinking bigger: Is K-Pop still K-Poping? We debate what defines K-Pop in 2025 - from training systems and survival shows to globalisation, Western influences, and international groups. Are new global acts like Katseye redefining K-Pop, or is the genre losing its original essence? Of course, we still cover our usual chaos: SEVENTEEN bias line updates (Mingyu reigns supreme) and Dream Concert Abu Dhabi 2025 hype. And yes - the giveaway winner is being announced very soon! Chaotic, insightful, and full of Comeback Corner energy - this episode is a must-listen for anyone thinking about the future of K-Pop.

The Haunted Comeback

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2501398/fan_mail/new] This week on Comeback Corner, it’s officially spooky season - and we’re celebrating with our first-ever Halloween special! M and Zuzu go all out with secret costume reveals, Halloween candy taste tests, and a chaotic K-Pop horror movie casting that nobody asked for (but everyone needed). First up: the SEVENTEEN bias line update. We say boy-bye to DK (again) and enter our Mingyu appreciation era. Then, we dive into how Comeback Corner actually started… a Halloween story involving a work party, DK, Hoshi, and a fateful costume moment that changed everything. Of course, it wouldn’t be Halloween without chaos. From guessing each other’s costumes to deciding which K-Pop idols would survive a horror movie (spoiler: Jisoo’s the final girl, Mingyu’s the first to go), we’re bringing all the laughs, scares, and unhinged energy. Chaotic, hilarious, and full of K-Pop horror energy - you do not want to miss The Haunted Comeback. 🎁 K-Pop Giveaway! Win a Stray Kids tote, BT21 keyrings, Korean skincare, exclusive ENHYPEN London tour & pop-up merch, official SEVENTEEN photocards, and more!
