Indeed, what a star-studded cast!

On the other hand, 2022 is indeed a year for the "K-pop Royalties," dominating the music scene with their activities and releases.
Starting with G-Dragon, the male idol's group BIGBANG finally made their much-awaited comeback on April 5. Their single, "Still Life," cemented their status as "Kings of K-pop" once again as the song topped multiple charts inside and outside Korea.
The song didn't only end their four-year hiatus but also marked the start of their career as a four-member group after Seungri's departure.
Meanwhile, Jessi, who is dominating the entertainment scene for being the "Sixth Sense" mainstay, also reigned in the K-pop scene following the release of her digital single, "ZOOM."
The track, released on April 13 immediately became a huge hit after her dance challenge that went viral on TikTok.
In June, BTS, the group to which Jungkook belongs, will finally grace the music industry with a new release, "WE ARE BULLETPROOF." Anticipation is high whether what kind of music will they show this time following hits, "Dynamite" and "Butter."
Lastly, Taemin, who is currently serving in the military is set to be discharged in November, approximately.
On May 25, his group SHINee will celebrate its 14th debut anniversary.
