October 2026 K-pop Comebacks: LISA, ONEW, Eric Nam & Everything Announced So Far
October’s confirmed slate brings LISA, ONEW (SHINee), Eric Nam, CNBLUE, ILLIT and KickFlip, among others. This page tracks the records themselves — title tracks as they are announced, rollouts in progress, and the dated slots still waiting on titles. For the day-by-day layout of the month — where dates bunch up and where they go quiet — see the October comeback calendar, which carries release times and filters.
Title tracks named so far
KickFlip’s mini album KICK OFF THE WALL Pt. 1 (October 6, 6 PM KST) carries double title tracks: “미완성 (Puzzle Piece)” and “Kick Off The Wall (feat. iann dior).” YESUNG (SUPER JUNIOR) leads his full album Where We Are, out the same day, with “Pedazos,” and CNBLUE front their Japanese album FULL CIRCLE (October 21) with “360°.” LEE HAN GYUL’s mini album NOISE (October 14) is led by “BUNZI.”
Other leads share their release’s name: JO1’s US EP ANIMAL (October 2), KO1KEYZ’s self-titled single album (October 7), ROY KIM’s digital single “크게 울어라 (CRY OUT LOUD)” (October 6, 6 PM KST), and NCT WISH’s mini album I SPY (October 12, 6 PM KST). Why K-pop pushes one song forward — and how a double title track works — is covered in our title track guide.
Rollouts in progress
ONEW (SHINee)‘s calendar stacks up across two months: pre-release singles on September 29 and October 7, then the single album 착각 on October 20 at 6 PM KST. LISA’s EP PRESS PLAY lands October 23, following her September 4 pre-release single “SaWaDiKa.”
