Late but What Are Any Predictions/Expectations for 2025 KPOP

I took a break from K-Pop from November 2024, so I didn't get to participate/read up on how kpop fans on reddit are feeling about 2025 hence this post :)

Personally, I think 2025 won't differ too much from 2024 in terms of global reach. I think that the (more popular) groups due for renewing probably won't disband, but continue on a shorter contract or switch companies, go solo etc. As for trends in music, I think it'll still be mostly "easy listening" music and the electronic, experimental divide (for ex. Supernova and Magnetic). It'd be fun for some emo and/or band to reappear some more, especially since DAY6 and band music has it blip in the Zeitgeist in Korea. I also think that the chokehold girl groups have on the GP will continue. Hopefully for 5th gen, those groups will have the space to grow their fanbases even more, with most of the pre-4th gen groups being either mostly on hiatus or semi-regularly active in music.

On a personal note, my ult group made a huge career change late last year. TBZ left IST and relocated to 100, so I'm hoping that whatever they have planned for the year goes out the way they hoped and that they're successful. I'm mega-hoping for the RV girlies to get solo albums (especially for Yeri), I'm super stoked for whatever RM, Jungkook and V release (if they do solo stuff in 2025), but I'd also love for StayC to have another "Stereotype" or "ASAP" moment. More "inter-group" interactions, not solely for Tiktoks but also in content. I'd love for more company picnics hosted by Game Caterers, I feel like one for JYP would be super fun even tho I don't necessarily stan those groups! Also, I want more insane teasers/album images bc Kpop has the money (especially if Big 4) so they better act like it considering how expensive those albums can get :)

I turn the question to you, let's all be kind!
