Can’t even give out your business card nowdays? Well, that’s the complaint from all the album composers as they look at the entertainment industry for the month of April! Why is that you ask? Popular artists such as Lee Hyori, Bi/Rain, 2PM, and 2NE1 are scheduled to come back this April. Who would want to make a comeback in all this chaos? No one. It seems that these artists have pushed their comebacks earlier in order to avoid the World Cup that will be taking place in June. Well, fans can’t complain about that now, can we? We’ve been told that the 4 ladies of 2NE1 will release their album in April! Black Jacks must have been disappointed when 2NE1 announced that they would neither release an album or have a solo concert last year. However, fans were not left completely deprived of 2NE1 thanks to the release of their singles “Please Don’t Go” and their most recent track “Try to Follow Me,” which helped them to grab their high rank amongst the battle of the girl groups. They weren’t able to show their fierce and indestructible force as they did with “Fire” and “I Don’t Care” from their 1st mini album, but don’t worry! They’ll definitely come back with lots of fire, so everyone hold on tight! Schedule breakdown of April debuts & comebacks! Last month’s schedule breakdown seemed to be helpful for you readers, so we’re back with another list of debuts and returns that you should all keep an eye out for. Without further ado…!
