New K-pop releases in September 2022: Blackpink, NCT 127, Jackson Wang, Exo’s Xiumin and more
- All eyes are on Blackpink’s long-awaited second album, ‘Born Pink’, dropping on September 16, fronted by the single ‘Shut Up’

As summer turns to autumn and K-pop’s year-end awards and festival season begins, many high-profile K-pop acts are releasing new music to end the year with a bang.
September is already gearing up to be one of the biggest for K-pop releases this year, despite a slowdown this week ahead of the weekend’s Mid-Autumn Festival, known as Chuseok in South Korea.
That means there is only one high-profile release this week: Jackson Wang of Got7’s Magic Man EP, which will drop on September 9.
But the holiday break will herald a busy rest of the month, with October similarly full of highly anticipated releases.
September 16 is a day that all K-pop watchers have an eye on: Blackpink’s long-awaited second album, Born Pink, will arrive fronted by the single “Shut Up”, following August’s first release off the album, “Pink Venom”.
