While there are already so many active K-Pop groups, many companies still continue to debut new groups at an ridiculous pace.
Just like last year, there were slightly more girl groups than boy groups that made their debut. This also gives us a total of nearly 100 new groups again.
The girl group standouts from this year include TWICE, G-Friend, Oh My Girl, April, and CLC.
As always, I tried to cover as much as possible and included vocal groups, hip-hop duos, bands, and sub-units. Featuring groups in order of their debut date, I selected a representative 15 second segment of each song to show.
Random notes:
- The song used in the intro is TWICE’s “Like OHH-AHH.”
- A few groups actually came from abroad and released a song in Korean. There is GEERISZ from Japan, AS ONE from Hong Kong and LIME from Vietnam.
- Chamsonyeo is a project group from the “Weekly Idol” and features G.NA, Lizzy (After School/Orange Caramel), Youngji (KARA) and Sohyun (4Minute).
- DIA and Dia Girls are not related at all.

As expected, groups debuting from established companies have a big advantage in getting public attention. This includes iKon (YG Entertainment), Day6 (JYP Entertainment), N.Flying (FNC Entertainment), Monsta X (Starship Entertainment), and Seventeen (Pledis Entertainment). Romeo and UP10TION are also notable standouts from 2015.
Just like in the previous videos, I tried to cover as much as possible and included vocal groups, hip-hop duos, bands, and sub-units. Featuring groups in order of their debut date, I selected a representative 15 second segment of each song to show.
Random notes:
- The song used in the intro is Seventeen’s “Adore U.”
- 1Punch has already disbanded.
- The last group, Pure-L, made their debut with a cover of DBSK‘s “Balloons.“
