The story of October 2026

October gathers most of its releases before mid-month. TIOT's mini album Time for Us opens on October 1, and October 2 crosses regions with Eric Nam's Korean full album Confessions of a Lonely Heart alongside JO1's US EP ANIMAL. The calendar crowds together on the 6th and 7th. October 6 mixes KickFlip's mini album and YESUNG (SUPER JUNIOR)'s full album with ROY KIM's digital single, while the 7th turns to single albums and ONEW (SHINee)'s pre-release single. Albums carry the more widely spaced dates on the 8th, 12th and 14th.

After October 14, the calendar pauses until ONEW (SHINee)'s Korean single album 착각 on October 20. CNBLUE's FULL CIRCLE brings a Japanese album to October 21; LISA's Korean EP PRESS PLAY follows on the 23rd. The 26th brings ILLIT's mini album BREAK EVEN and RIIZE's digital single; Hi-Fi Un!corn carries the schedule through October 30 with another digital single.
