Following members Ha Sungwoon and Noh Taehyun's success on Produce 101 Season 2, Ardor & Able announced that HOTSHOT would have a comeback for the first time since 2015.

EXO - July 18

While SM Entertainment has insisted that EXO's next comeback will be in July and has confirmed that Lay will not be participating this time around due to conflicting schedules, a confirmed date has yet to be announced. Naver released a report that mentioned that EXO is scheduled to perform on KBS' Music Bank on July 21, hinting that maybe their comeback will be just before then.

On July 8, SM Entertainment opened up EXO's official Twitter, Instagram, and Weibo accounts and released three versions of the group's logo for the upcoming comeback. Fans were also encouraged to tweet one of three hashtags to unlock the first teaser video, all related to the group (#EXO), the album name (#TheWarEXO), or the comeback single name (#KoKoBop).

Check out our full review of their comeback.

KARD - July 19

KARD's "official debut" has been coming for a while. I put that in quotes because, with three singles and a literal world tour already under their belt, it's hard to consider them as a group that hasn't debuted still. (Would that make them just extremely popular trainees?) Either way, KARD's official debut date was announced on June 29, giving the group just under three weeks to teaser their album. They've also released the album's track list and group photos on their Twitter account. KARD released their music video trailer on July 10. The group released physical album details on July 12 and an album teaser video on July 13. Still three days away from their release date, KARD dropped a 30-second point dance teaser video on July 16.
