K-pop continues to grow bigger every year, and 2025 has brought exciting moments for fans worldwide.
Many K-pop groups have spent years building their fanbase, while others are just getting started. If you're hoping to explore K-pop music for the first time, or just looking for a new group to add to your "must-binge" list, here are our favorites.
