28 Girl Groups Debuting in 2024: RESCENE, BABYMONSTER, ILLIT Face Fierce Competition

These are all the girl groups debuting in 2024, the same year as RESCENE. The list is in chronological order by debut date.

GENIUS, ILLIT, RESCENE. Notably, ILLIT and RESCENE debuted just one day apart. Also on the list are UNIS, Candy Shop, VVUP, and BABYMONSTER. BABYMONSTER also debuted in the same year as RESCENE. Seeing this list makes it feel like RESCENE truly waited a long time to debut.

SUPPIA, VIV, UNICODE. The member names for UNICODE are uniquely styled as utf-8, 16, 32, euc-kr, and cp949. Other groups include B.O.W and ARTMS. ARTMS, however, consists of former LOONA members, so they are not entirely new. Also debuting are iMONDE, BADVILLAIN, CAT’S EYE, 3PEACE, MADEIN, MIYAO, NEW:L, SAY MY NAME, WITCHES, ODD YOUTH, and BURBEE. One group debuting in 2024 has an average member age of 14.5 years. Wow!

TRACER, LOVEONE, IZNA. Isn't IZNA from a survival show debut group? Was it I-LAND2? Also, KELTNAIN and B.I.W. A total of 28 groups debuted in the same year! The competition is incredibly fierce.

Given this, just knowing a group's name is already an achievement. To then make people aware of their songs and remember all the members' names seems like a hellish task. Personally, the girl groups I recognize are ILLIT, BABYMONSTER, MIYAO, IZNA, and now RESCENE. Even coming up with unique group names has become a struggle.

However, among these groups, there must be members with variety show potential and charm, just like RESCENE. They simply haven't been discovered yet. Many talented individuals might fade away before they even get a chance to shine, which is a bit regrettable.

Below are translations of Korean netizen comments

1. They've risen from barely surpassing Say My Name to being like ME:I or IZNA.
2. ILLIT fans are clearly old men, their personalities are terribleㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ They just have to belittle other idolsㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ ILLIT is number oneㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
3. I'm just someone who doesn't know much about idols... but it seems like big agencies are really important. I've heard of the big agencies, but the others are completely new to me;;

4. So many groups. Their faces all look similar.
5. The only world stars are CAT'S EYE.
6. So RIIZE is truly amazing. BABYMONSTER, on the other hand, survives thanks to YG and BLACKPINK's strong backing, even without a hit song.

7. I'm curious who was slandering RIIZE before; seeing the top comments change confirms it ㅋㅋ
8. Some say RIIZE took a long time to get popular, but two years is actually fast. They are still young and have time to prepare for other things even if they don't continue as idols.
9. If there was no information, who would think ILLIT came from a big company? They look the strangest among these groups.

10. I really don't know much about girl groups, but just scrolling through the photos, RIIZE stands out the most. The members are the prettiest, and the combination is great; you could say they have good balance... Next is BABYMONSTER... These two groups are the best.
11. RIIZE fans clinging to ILLIT are hilariousㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ That's right, ILLIT is number one~ You'll never catch up to ILLIT, stop dreaming ^^
12. Seeing this, every time NewJeans fans say they didn't rely on HYBE's help, I genuinely find it laughable. If they had debuted under a small company, they wouldn't have shined at all and would have disappeared instantly. Those boring, uncharismatic, tone-deaf groups still have fansㅋㅋㅋ

13. I'm an aunt in my 40s, and the only group among these where I know the members' names and faces is RIIZE. An average age of 14.5 is really too young.
14. At least on the music charts, only RIIZE and ILLIT are present. BABYMONSTER already released a single in November 2023, so Yang Hyun-suk's (양현석) claim of a 2024 debut was just his own idea.
15. RIIZE also sings very well and should become even more popular. Their vocal skills have no weaknesses.

16. ILLIT, BABYMONSTER, CAT'S EYE, ME:I, IZNA, RIIZE – it's surprising how many of these groups, debuting in the same year, have managed to achieve this level of popularity. I thought there would only be one or two. RIIZE also owes its success to "I Like You"; without that song, they might not have joined this lineup.
