Misc Which K-pop group had an amazing run of four comebacks?
•
u/blottoez Dec 10 '25
Apink : I'm So Sick -> Eung Eung -> Dumhdurum -> Dilemma
I'm a little surprised I didn't see anyone mention this, scrolling up and down the comments. Any time one of those songs is mentioned, people rave about that legendary run. And it's specifically feels like a cohesively themed run. Many of the others listed here are just 4 pretty good songs in a row, not really the same as what Apink did starting with I'm So Sick.
•
u/gracehelo Dec 10 '25
nonono mr chu luv and remember is also one for the books bc wdym apink still holds the record for most number of music show wins for a single title track til this day
•
u/recklessrecentpast Dec 10 '25
Thank you for reminding me these songs exist, groups always fall off my YouTube algo as soon as they disband. I need to get I'm So Sick and %% back in my rotation.
•
u/asiand0ll Dec 10 '25
Black Eyed Pilseung were really in their pocket when they worked with Apink. They produced all four tracks, which is part of why they feel cohesive. I wish they kept up their musical collaboration.

u/burritollie Dec 10 '25
i think in general people don't count dilemma in the run and consider it a trilogy, which is a shame because ialso consider it a 4 part masterpiece! but i think naeun not participating in dilemma + the song not being received with as much praise as the others, knocks it out of the legendary run.

Gee's domination was the era when I got into kpop, it had an absolutely insane run. It was still number 1 on all the shows long after they were done promoting it. Super Junior's Sorry Sorry had to come out just to give another group a shot at the spotlight and that was just a brief break for SNSD until Genie came out. SM was churning out hits like crazy and were seemingly unstoppable until 3/5 of DBSK sued then.

u/iputtheminacage Dec 10 '25
exo were always korea and, before the hallyu ban, china centered, I mean they've only one collab in their 13 years of activity and that's with the most popular person in sk aka yoo jaesuk lol
exo didn't even know they have fans outside asia for the longest time—suho was shocked to see so many when he delivered his lecture in stanford in '22
but yea sm has had their share of fumbles with promoting exo internationally but they shelved them so they could focus on their newer groups to break in that market, yet exo aespa and red velvet remain the best performing sm acts internationally

The Hayley Aitken era of Everglow was what got me into Kpop in the first place, after years of effort from my friends those songs absolutely did it for me.
Also will give a shout to CRAXY's D_answer era: Undercovrr, Poison Rose, Nugudom, Stupidz.
When groups and producers vibe together as much as these groups and producers, it never feels quite the same when another producer comes in later on.

I want to say Illit
Magnetic--Cherish(my love)--Do the dance--Jellyous
But I do think that the last three don't have as much success commercially. I love all four regardless though.

I feel like you can start at any ateez album and have an amazing run of 4 albums; they're all so good.
I also nominate the fever series.

Well there were even longer runs ---
EVERGLOW: Bon Bon Chocolat, Adios, DUN DUN, LA DI DA and FIRST was simply amazing run.
XG had a great momentum since MASCARA to NEW DANCE. There wasn't any skip among like seven songs?!
SNSD - literally every of their comeback was HUGE (and everything elevated into Lion Heart, which was SNSD's peak, their most awarded song)
Ofcourse, aespa had a blast with Drama, Supernova, Armageddon, Whiplash (and even if we're counting japanese one - Hot Mess, which was between Armageddon and Whiplash - it was ride).

Astro debut first 4 minis. Spring up-summer vibes-autum story-winter dream. Hide&seek- Breathless-Confession-Again. As for two set mini run. Dreampt1 to pt 2. Baby and crazy sexy cool. I mean we literally lost to twice bc of 80 pionts in baby era.

Not sure if it counts, but Big Bang dominated 2015 with the MADE series.
Loser/Bae Bae > Bang Bang Bang/We Like to Party > If You/Sober > Let’s Not Fall in Love/Sober. All bops.

Big Bang? Of course idk how the public actually saw them at the time but this feels like a historic run: Alive (Blue + Fantastic Baby + Bad Boy)
M (Loser + Bae Bae)
A (Bang Bang Bang + We Like 2 Party)
D (If you + Sober)
E (Zutter + Let’s Not Fall in Love)
Flower Road
Still Alive

BTS for sure
I NEED U/Dope -> Run -> Young Forever -> Fire/Save Me -> Blood, Sweat & Tears -> Not Today/Spring Day -> DNA -> Mic Drop -> Fake Love -> Idol
Pick any 4 out of those and it’s a legendary run
