A Comeback Seven Months in the Making
NEWBEAT, the breakout rookie K-pop group of 2025, is officially returning this October with a brand-new album. This marks their first major comeback since dropping their debut full-length album RAW AND RAD back in March.
What’s Changed Since Debut?
Since their explosive debut, NEWBEAT has been busy—very busy. Their debut album turned heads for its genre-blending sound and fiercely creative concept. And now, fans are eager to see how the boys have evolved musically and artistically.
They’re currently in the final stages of preparing the new album. Expectations are sky-high, given how well their first album showcased both their musical chops and creative vision.
From Fringe to Front Stage
NEWBEAT didn’t waste any time making waves. They captured attention right out of the gate with appearances on Mnet’s debut showcase and SBS’s fan-centered programs. From there, they hit the festival circuit hard—domestically and internationally—cementing their status as one of K-pop’s most promising new acts.
In August, they dropped a special digital single titled “Cappuccino” for their fans, debuting the track live at KCON LA 2025, where local fans gave them a thunderous welcome.
Fan Love and Awards Already?
Rising stars? More like shooting stars. NEWBEAT recently took home the “K WORLD DREAM New Vision Award” at the 2025 K-WORLD DREAM AWARDS—pretty impressive for a group that’s yet to hit their first anniversary.
They also moved fans worldwide with their appearance on the Golden Disc Awards web docu-series “Golden Choice: From Unfamiliar Names”, where leader Park Minseok shared a heartfelt story about his family. The emotional episode sparked deeper connections between the group and their growing global fandom.
Eyes on October
Details about the exact release date and official comeback schedule will drop soon, so fans—hold onto your lightsticks. With a rock-solid foundation of fan loyalty and proven stage presence, NEWBEAT’s October comeback might just catapult them into the next tier of K-pop stardom.
Will they reinvent their sound? Will there be a viral choreography moment? Only time — and teasers — will tell.
