What are your KPop predictions for 2026?

Hanni will learn the error of her ways and apologize for all the lying.

It's not a very bold prediction, but BTS will dominate.

Newjeans' comeback album under Ador will be a huge success, they'll make everyone remember who are the No 1.

Nam Yuju is going to debut

Hmm... For a non-NewJeans prediction... NMIXX will solidify its casual listeners and will reach out to more potential listeners 😉

As for NewJeans... a settlement. What kind? I don't know, but hopefully, it'll mean they aren't in the building.

Tatiana1820 replaces Mother with Bongo in her heart, and starts stanning ILLIT AND LSF!!

Purple Disbanded will go in new agency and start again

• KISS OF LIFE will regain their popularity and establish themselves as the top 5th gen group

• Nayeon 1st full album

• Jihyo 1st full album

• MiSaMo 1st full album

• No TWICE comeback

• MEOVV world tour

• Rami will leave BM

• Itzy regains some of their hype thru tour + upcoming comeback + Yuna's acting debut

• Rosé will release her second solo album which will be completely different from rosie

• Yena full album + acting comeback

Nah. Run Ador into the ground and sell it off. Sell it to... hmm... Kakao? Anyway, then Mother can be in charge of TWO companies

Tatiana1820 If you ever stan Bongo, I'm calling you TattyBangBang

(Bloody autocorrect correcting If to I'd!! 🙄)

or she can merge them !

Aespa continue to slay and Karina gets another top 10 hit with Good Stuff assuming they release it. Hopefully

Depends on if the co-owners are different 😭😭 Still a possibility, no less 🙂‍↕️

• NMIXX more domestic and international success
• Gaeul popularity boom thanks to her solo
• Izna breakthrough (especially Mai)

I can only predict with absolute certainty that the following will happen again at least once

hybe civil war megathread will hit "adulthood (aka 18)"

5th Gen will show improvements but still struggle to fully launce

As fans and companies start realising 5th gen is struggling, the idea of 6th gen will start getting crept in, to try and remove new groups from the "stigma".

It wont work, because the struggle of 5th gen is more an indicator of the struggle and stagnation of Kpop as a whole.

Companies will start realising more and more that one reason for this is the fact that fans are still latched onto still active 3rd and 4th gen groups and refusing to "move on" to newer groups, and will struggle with how to try and encourage a move.

I spent too much money on concerts given the already scary looking number of tours coming.

No NewJeans comeback.

ATEEZ coming back to Copenhagen for their Europe tour.

Ticketmaster will again become the Mad Max Thunderdome as it unleashes the queue of 10 million BTS fans to fight over the leftover 12 seats after scalpers and resale sites were delegated 99.99 percent of the arena seating.

Day6 will still slay all you bitches

Ok it feels crazy that the streams are about the same because APT really felt like it was freaking everywhere

When Jimin releases a new song these streams are gonna drop dramatically to like 200k a day

-Haters will keep whining and talking constantly about BTS, showing their frustrations with their continued success by behaving in a petty way.

-Haters will keep whining and talking constantly about BP, showing their frustrations with their continued success by behaving in a petty way.

-One of the BP ladies will have a mega hit, which will cause more akgae fights, despite the fact that they would be better off supporting all.

-More dumb fanwars between people that think they're some kind of knight riding into battle, while they're all just idiots typing on screens.

-More people will finally leave Twitter, realizing that the whole point of the website is getting people to fight, so there is no point in keep going back for more moronic fights that will leave them angry and unhappy.

-Twice will continue to rise in a somewhat slow but steady way amongst different target groups.

-Mamamoo return will do well.

-Some kind of stupid "scandal" involving food.

-There will be more mid-sized company girl groups having hits than this year.

-OMG score a summer hit.

Quote from David33

Imagine if they flop.

Expected better from a Moomoo

Now, check my Mamamoo prediction earlier in the thread. It's much more cheerful

Quote from David33

From now on, I'm gonna ALWAYS add #SarcasmOFF 😂

I'm dumb.
Sorry.

Quote from David33

Do kids actually believe this? What a nice world we live in. Kids believe in miracles again? 😂

These Kpop stans are "A Little Match Girl".

can u please explain ?

• JYP NGG Debut.
• H2H will have a legit hit.
• More 4th gen solo debuts.
• Alpha Drive One will become a top 5th gen BG in Korea.
• More KPDH OSTs from the additional short they plan to release. A top 4th or 5th gen GG will have their own version of one of the songs.

Don't be too surprised if LSF start to have solos next year...

I was considering them, but I wasn't sure if it was too soon since they have their 4th year coming up.
