Four popular K-pop boy bands are preparing for releases this month, signaling some formidable competition on the music charts.

WINNER’s long-awaited album is due out this month after two more music videos for the album are recorded in Korea. The group’s agency, YG Entertainment, said earlier that WINNER had just returned from Sweden, where the band shot music videos for two tracks on the album.

The five-member group’s return to the music scene overlaps with that of iKon, its label-mate and YG’s newest boy band.

Before the YG clan makes its assault on the music charts, VIXX’s new album will hit the shelves Nov. 10.

Following their return is the comeback of B.A.P, who will hold a showcase event in Seoul to celebrate their album release on Nov. 15.

The group’s fourth EP, “MATRIX,” was produced by group leader Bang Yong-guk, who focused their album concept on the key words “young, wild and free.”

BTS, known for their hit song “I Need You,” is unveiling their new album at the 2015 BTS LIVE concerts to be held in Seoul from Nov. 27-29.

The album will become available online on Nov. 30, the agency said.
