K-pop Daily: OH MY GIRL’s Full-Group Comeback Signals Spring Energy

A full-group return tease from OH MY GIRL leads today’s upbeat headlines, with fresh comeback visuals from H1-KEY, a solo step for VERIVERY’s Kangmin, and another global-chart milestone for ATEEZ.

Lead story: OH MY GIRL says a full-group comeback is on the way

“Full-group comeback” is one of those phrases that instantly resets a fandom’s calendar—because it usually signals that schedules are aligning, priorities are clear, and a complete team story is about to be told. According to Soompi (Feb. 13, 2026), OH MY GIRL has officially signaled a full-group comeback, with WM Entertainment stating that the members are preparing to return together.

For global listeners, the “full-group” note matters almost as much as the comeback itself. It suggests the next release will likely be built around group identity: balanced line distribution, performance choices that highlight contrasts in vocal color, and promotions designed to showcase chemistry (the stuff you can’t fully replicate through solo or unit schedules).

What to watch next is the standard comeback breadcrumb trail: a clear timeline (scheduler image), concept photos, track list, highlight medley, and then music video teasers. Even before a date is confirmed, this kind of announcement is effectively a promise that the rollout will be structured—and that’s where the excitement lives.

Quick hits

H1-KEY: “LOVECHAPTER” concept photos kick off a March comeback mood

Concept photos are more than pretty pictures—they’re the first “genre hint” of a comeback. According to Soompi (Feb. 15, 2026), H1-KEY unveiled their first set of concept photos for their upcoming fifth mini album LOVECHAPTER, due out in March. The big takeaway is momentum: early visuals usually mean a steady drip of teasers is coming, so this is a good moment to turn on notifications and get ready for the track list and highlight medley phase.

VERIVERY’s Kangmin: confirmed solo debut with a March 23 release

A solo debut can be a reset button—an artist gets to define their own sound palette while still carrying the group’s identity with them. According to Soompi (Feb. 16, 2026), STAR NEWS reported that VERIVERY’s Kangmin will release a new album on March 23, marking his solo debut. For fans, the fun is in the details that follow: what performance style he leans into, whether the title track emphasizes vocals or choreography, and how the concept differentiates him while still feeling like “Kangmin.”

ATEEZ: a biggest-yet U.S. week as “GOLDEN HOUR : Part.4” reaches the Billboard 200

It’s hard to overstate what the Billboard 200 represents: a mainstream yardstick for U.S. album consumption that blends different forms of demand into one weekly snapshot. According to Soompi (Feb. 15, 2026) reporting on Billboard’s announcement, ATEEZ achieved their biggest U.S. week yet as GOLDEN HOUR : Part.4 debuted on the Billboard 200. Even without obsessing over ranks, the signal is clear—release-week coordination (distribution, fandom organization, and general listener curiosity) is translating into measurable, repeatable impact.

Chart & award check: what today’s numbers can (and can’t) tell you

A healthy way to read chart headlines is to separate reach from retention:

Reach is the moment a release breaks into new spaces—like the Billboard 200 mention above, which often indicates broader awareness in the U.S. market.
Retention is what happens in the weeks after: whether tracks keep getting added to playlists, whether performances continue to trend, and whether casual listeners come back.

For a broader “who’s visible right now” snapshot, Soompi also highlighted a Billboard World Albums chart update featuring multiple acts (including ENHYPEN, Stray Kids, BTS, ILLIT, and NewJeans). Lists like this are useful not because they crown a single winner, but because they show how many different fanbases are actively converting attention into album demand at the same time.

Upcoming schedule (what to watch next)

OH MY GIRL — look out for a scheduler image, concept set reveals, and a confirmed release date (per Soompi’s Feb. 13 comeback signal).
H1-KEY — more teaser drops leading into the March release of LOVECHAPTER (per Soompi, Feb. 15).
Kangmin (VERIVERY) — March 23 solo album release, plus title track and performance details as teasers land (per Soompi, Feb. 16).
ATEEZ — continued global visibility following the U.S. chart milestone (per Soompi’s Feb. 15 Billboard coverage).

Practical takeaways (official-link checklist)

For comeback timelines: check the agency’s official social accounts first (they usually post the scheduler earliest).
For music video drops: use the group’s official YouTube channel and turn on notifications.
For release-day listening: follow the artist’s verified profiles on your streaming platform (Spotify/Apple Music/etc.) so the album appears immediately in your library.

Today’s theme is simple: the pipeline is full, and the signals are positive—big-group energy returning, comeback seasons taking shape, and global charts staying busy in the best way.
