K-pop comeback from five solo female singers to help ‘diversify’ cookie-cutter music industry
Popstars Yoon Mi-rae, former Sistar member Hyorin, Jo Hyun-ah, Wheein of Mamamoo, and Ha:tfelt are all on the comeback trail, with new singles coming out this month
Although there aren’t many solo female singers in the K-pop industry, five famous faces have returned to the scene recently.
The comeback has raised the hope that the artists may “diversify” the K-pop world crowded with “manufactured bands” with almost identical dance routines and songs, and set a new path for Korean music.

Yoon Mi-rae unveiled her new single track Kawi Bawi Bo (rock, paper, scissors) last Friday and former Sistar member Hyorin launched her musical comeback yesterday with her new track Dally. Besides these two, Jo Hyun-ah of Urban Zakapa, Wheein of Mamamoo, and Ha:tfelt (Ye-eun of now defunct girl group Wonder Girls) have returned with new singles this month.
