K-pop’s girl group scene is on fire this month, and we’re not even halfway through June. With a blend of rookies and heavy-hitters dropping new music, this summer is shaping up to be a full-on showdown. No matter if it’s bold debuts, genre-mashing B-sides, or high-concept comebacks, everyone’s out to steal the spotlight. So, here we are breaking down the seven girl groups heating up the K-pop scene this June.
1. USPEER
Newcomers USPEER officially hit the scene on June 4 with their debut single album Speed Zone. It’s the first girl group from WM Entertainment in nearly a decade, yes, since OH MY GIRL. So, the expectations were sky-high.
The debut package includes two tracks: the high-octane title Zoom and the synth-laced B-side Telepathy, both crafted by hit producers MonoTree. With a confident, street-style image and bold visuals, USPEER is clearly hitting the gas from day one.

2. IZNA
June 9 turned into K-pop’s version of a music festival, and IZNA dove in early with their second single, BEEP. They only debuted two months ago with SIGN, but already scooped up two music show trophies and appeared on KCON LA, Summer Sonic Japan, and KT POP Taiwan.
Yeah, they’re moving fast. BEEP was released yesterday in both Korean and Japanese, making it their first dual-language drop. It’s no longer their rookie era, right?

3. ITZY
Also landing on June 9, ITZY is back with their first comeback of 2025: mini album Girls Will Be Girls. It’s their first release since GOLD last October.
Packed with five tracks and led by a punchy title song of the same name, the album brings more of ITZY’s signature attitude.
Known for bold fashion, tight choreography, and confidence that drips, this comeback could easily dominate the summer stage.

4. QWER
Want something more heartfelt this June? QWER is delivering. The four-member pop-rock band dropped their third mini album, ‘I’m on your side, even if the world is in discord’ on June 9.
This album continues their emotional journey, which started with Harmony from Discord. All six tracks, including Holding Back Tears and Yours Sincerely, were co-written by the members themselves. It’s perfect for late-night listens when you’re in your feelings.

5. KISS OF LIFE
KISS OF LIFE also brought a more polished, mature sound with their fourth mini album, 224, out June 9. Last year’s Sticky showed us their summer flair, but they’re going deeper this year.
The title track, Lips Hips Kiss, leads the seven-song set, blending attitude with sultry melodies. The album plays with identity and evolving style while keeping the band’s signature pop-R&B flavor.

6. ARTMS
ARTMS, a five-member group made of former LOONA members, returns with Club Icarus on June 13. Their previous release, Dall (Devine All Love & Live), earned praise for its cinematic storytelling and otherworldly visuals.
This next chapter promises to be just as mythic, with a concept inspired by the Greek legend of Icarus (wings, fire, and symbolism). This is your group if you’re into high-concept visuals and layered metaphors.

7. ILLIT
Wrapping up the month on June 16, ILLIT is dropping their third mini album, Bomb. Their title track, Borrowed Cat (Do the Dance), takes inspiration from a Korean idiom that describes someone feeling out of place. That idea gets a fun twist with French house beats and playful choreography.
