K-pop Rookies Turn the Heat Up
Get ready, MAJORs—82MAJOR is coming back, and they’re not holding back. The rookie boy group just revealed they’ll be releasing a brand-new album on October 30 at 6 PM KST across major music platforms.
Fresh Tracks, Bolder Identity
This won’t be your average comeback. Known for hands-on involvement in their music, the members of 82MAJOR previously took part in songwriter selection, lyric writing, and production in collaborative projects. Expect that same creative energy—and then some—with this upcoming album.
Fans are already anticipating a stronger musical identity and genre-bending tracks that show how much the group has grown in just a year. Their previous work hinted at their potential, but this release may be the moment where they step into the K-pop spotlight for good.
From Rookies to Performance Kings
Despite having only debuted months ago, 82MAJOR already checked off some major milestones—including holding four solo concerts and wrapping their first in-person fan meeting in Korea titled “82DE WORLD.” Their insane performance energy has earned them the nickname “performance-type idols.”
Their recent 25-city North American tour, titled “82 SYNDROME in NORTH AMERICA,” was a major flex on the global stage. They’ve also made high-profile appearances at events like KCON LA 2025, WATERBOMB Busan, and the Chinese-speaking region’s TIMA Music Awards and ATA Festival 2025.
Japan and Beyond—Global Moves
And they’re not slowing down. 82MAJOR just inked exclusive contracts with Horipro International and eplus in Japan, signaling big plans for the Asian market. With a growing international fanbase and solid industry backing, this comeback could mark a major turning point.
Countdown Begins
In the lead-up to the album release, fans can look forward to a string of teaser content—from concept photos to sneak peeks of the music. If you’re not already watching 82MAJOR, now’s a good time to jump in.
One question remains: With this comeback, will 82MAJOR officially clinch the title of breakout rookie group of the year?
