There has been much speculation that comebacks in May have a very real possibility of being postponed all the way until July. 

Since April 16th’s Sewol ferry accident, the entire music industry in Korea has been on an unofficial hiatus. With chains of delays in comebacks and the World Cup starting in June, most of the singers planning comebacks in May are planning to postpone their comebacks for July. 

One of the difficulties that many rookie groups or not-as-popular-anymore established artists will encounter is the problem of not being able to compete with all the comebacks of currently popular groups coming back around the same time. The speculations state that those with comebacks in May would probably move their dates earliest for June or even July. 

Another concern is that many of the songs  that were scheduled to coincide with a spring season comeback may experience the limitation of concept and genre because June would be the World Cup season and July is already summer.

Many comebacks that were expected include that of EXO, BLOCK B, INFINITE, BEAST, Hwee Sung, Fly to the Sky, T-ara’s Jiyeon, Secret’s Hyosung, Gummy, VIXX, and many more. 

Even if the music industry comes back to its normal cycle, many feel the pressure to be the first one to take the first in rankings. Thus, it seems like it will take at least two to three more weeks to gear up again.
