2023 was a spectacular year for K-pop.

The year treated us to successful debuts, show-stopping award show performances and award-winning releases from new favorite groups, and they're showing no signs of slowing down in 2024. We're among the fans who are eagerly anticipating even more greatness this year, and below are a few of the K-pop groups we're watching very closely in 2024.

KISS OF LIFE

With the release of two EPs in 2023, KISS OF LIFE evolved into K-pop's ultimate girl crush group. KISS OF LIFE's July 2023 debut title track, "Shhh," has amassed over 35 million streams on Spotify. With their sophomore EP, Born to Be XX, the quartet exhibited their vocal versatility with the double title tracks "Bad News" and "Nobody Knows." Their months of hard work led to their special award show debut performance at the Melon Music Awards and securing the award for "global icon." In less than a year, KISS OF LIFE has won seven total awards—and we believe they're primed to win even more this year.

ZEROBASEONE

Formed from Mnet's survival show, Boy's Planet, ZEROBASEONE has become a contender for the title of "Monster Rookie." They built a strong, loyal fandom as their fanbase followed them through their hard work and struggles faced on Boy's Planet, so their debut album, Youth in Shade, surpassed an impressive 2 million sales before the follow-up album, Melting Point, came close with 1.8 million sales.  Thanks to this loyalty, ZEROBASEONE concluded 2023 with five "Rookie of the Year" awards, totaling 15 awards so far. 2024 is shining bright for ZEROBASEONE as there are hints of a potential world tour, and possibly an appearance at KCON. Either way, these boys have started their careers off strong, and 2024 is not going to slow them down.

 

RIIZE

RIIZE is the first boy group to debut under SM Entertainment since NCT's debut in 2016. With big shoes to fill, RIIZE had all eyes on them, and they didn't crumble under the pressure. Grabbing the audience's attention with their swift and fierce dance moves in "SIREN," RIIZE quickly became a name on many fans' stan lists. While their dancing captured audiences, their vocals kept them captivated. With their debut single "Get a Guitar" selling over a million copies, they were off to a great start. At the end of 2023, RIIZE won seven awards, with three of those being "Rookie of the Year" awards. Speculation suggests that the group will release their debut album in 2024, and with their popularity growing rapidly, this debut album is bound to be well-received.

tripleS

tripleS has stood out among their peers with their unique group concept. With seven unit debuts to date, tripleS's various subunits have proven that there's talent in the group regardless of the lineup. From tripleS AAA grasping the attention of K-pop fans to tripleS's debut as a full group, they've proved time and time again that they're not your average girl group. With a tremendous "Best New Female Artist" win at the 2023 MAMA awards, they've solidified their presence as a forthcoming powerhouse girl group.
