‘Win and win’ K-pop accelerates expansion beyond Asia to Western countries such as the Americas and Australia

 The music industry in the new year of 2024 is expected to become even more prosperous as large-scale new artists emerge one after another, centered around the so-called four major entertainment companies such as Hive, SM, and JYP.

In addition, top singers such as ‘King of Singer’ Cho Yong-pil, IU, and G-Dragon, who has found a new agency, are exciting fans by announcing the release of new albums.

 K-pop is expected to accelerate its expansion beyond Asia into mainstream Western markets such as the United States, Europe, and Australia, thanks to the activities of existing stars and local new groups.

  First, Hive will release the boy group ‘Tours’ as ‘Seventeen’s younger sibling group’ under Pledis in January. Tours is an abbreviation for ‘TWENTY FOUR SEVEN WITH US’ and means ‘together 24 hours a day, 7 days a week’. Hive will also debut Aillet, a girl group under Belif Lab that was produced through the JTBC audition program 'R U Next' in the first half of next year.

  SM will officially debut NCT New Team (tentative name), consisting of two Koreans and four Japanese members, next year. NCT New Team is NCT's new team based in Japan, and SM has announced that it will end NCT's 'infinite expansion' with this.

  JYP will officially introduce VCHA, a girl group in collaboration with Republic Records of the United States, next year. Bitchure is a name created by JYP's representative producer Park Jin-young with the intention of 'shining light on fans and the world,' and was promoted as a pre-debut single this year.

  It appears that YG will begin in earnest to promote the new girl group Baby Monster.
