Biggest comeback: K-pop stars who return after long hiatus

One of the most heartbreaking realities for K-pop fans is watching their favorite stars go on hiatus for an extended period. In South Korea, taking a break from a career has become a common practice, whether initiated by entertainment agencies or the idols themselves.
A hiatus typically means stepping away from the music industry to rest and recharge from their demanding schedules. Often, the reasons behind this decision are related to mental or physical health concerns that can impact both their performances and overall well-being.
While such breaks are difficult for fans to accept, they often show unwavering support for their artists during this time. Thanks to this encouragement and the opportunity to take time off, many K-pop artists return to the stage and are eager to create new memories with their fans. This year has seen numerous K-pop stars break their hiatus, bringing immense joy and emotional reunions to their fandoms.
