Asian Junkie Asian pop. Without discretion.
Assuming this is true (which is admittedly a gigantic assumption), March is packed to shit with activity. Most importantly, EXO finally debuts, which means they can stop releasing 500 fucking teasers.
Additionally, and this deserves a line of its own, Shinhwa is coming back, which you kiddies need to pay attention to because they are OGs in this K-pop shit. Respect.
Personally, I love Girl’s Day, but I’m not sure they are all that popular yet.

As far as the following months, it seems that there will be certain groups that dominate the attention.
April: SHINee & BEAST
Should be an epic battle.
May: BoA & Secret
Giggity.
June: Son Dambi & X-5
Would be a good time to debut a group, as this seems like a dead period.
July: Hyori & After School
Hyori better comeback raunchy as ever, none of that conservative shit since she has a man now. I personally can’t wait for SPICA, but they are still rookies.
August: 2NE1 & Wonder Girls
Oh shit. Get ready for the wars.
September: SNSD & A Pink
Why must they put A Pink against SNSD? God.
October: Kara & Orange Caramel
A glorious month.
November: Super Junior
ELF clusterfuck.

Part of what makes me a skeptic is that it predicts nine months in advance, which I believe is possible in the structured corporate world, but would seem to be a bit presumptuous as far as idols are concerned.
We’ll see, I guess.
Thoughts?

Thanks to everybody who sent this in.
A Pink should shift to June. They had more chance of surviving in that month.
And finally Girls day is back! Can’t wait to fap to Yura!
Can’t wait for Shinhwa’s comeback. Eusha Eusha is one of my favorite Kpop songs.
The BoA and Hyori comebacks better be true.
Can’t freaking wait for 2NE1!!! also looking forward for FX and B1A4
Rainbow better step up there game, they’ve been slacking.
More like DSP is worthless.
LOL
Going by history these things are usually legit. And I doubt A-Cube is going to put A-pink against SNSD. They’ll move the debut date up or down like they did during their last promotional break.
March: Hopefully 4minute redeems themselves and Hyuna can remember some of the dance moves for performances.
April: Fangirls won’t know which groups to stan.
May: “ZE:A” ._.
July: Hyori and SPICA will surely deliver.
August: I will be waiting on you 2ne1. This better not turn out like your Japanese promotions.
Septemper: SNSD… Honestly would be happy if they just remade the songs from their japanese album, or something close to it. IMO that was their best album.
Obviously none of these will remain the same. I am just hoping 2NE1, Wondergirls, and SNSD will somehow shift their promotions at the same time through a fluke. Fanwars: http://tinyurl.com/6sxuuux
lolwut Son Dam Bi is still alive? She became irrelevant after “Cry Eye” promotions ended.
Her ass didn’t.
Do the big 3 companies collaborate with each other to avoid their cash cows from promoting at the same time? (Rarely is it SNSD vs. WG vs. 2NE1 or Big Bang vs. DBSK)
Or is it more of them being cautious as to not waste a promotion cycle being overshadowed by someone else?
I definitely remember Fall 2008 with Big Bang vs. WG vs. DB5K but that could have been an exception.
I don’t think they actively collaborate. I just think they avoid it purposely for that exact reason.
There’s an absence of T-ara, Co-ed School, 5 dolls. But CCM seems to just promote whenever. (T-ara’s getting a break? probably not likely)
I’m sad that there’s no news of After School or SISTAR. I’ve been waiting for a Dalmatian comeback though. I thought they dissolved because of the MC Mong Scandal since they were under him.
YES! Shinhwa better show the rookies a thing or two about performing.
nvm I finally saw After School on the list.
This is CCM’s rumored schedule for the year:
Core Contents Media schedule.
-March-April
Davichi activity / SPEED release mini or full album ?
-April-May
New girl group “Core Girls” ( ? ) confirmed debut!
-June-July
5Dolls comeback
-July-August
Tiara release 2 album.
-August-September
Davichi activity
Did they give up on Co-Ed? Probably a good idea.
Yeah, I think they’re better off as two separate groups anyways.
I’m going on comatose untill april
March news will be these:
- Hyuna and others made their comeback with a good song (but didn’t win a shit)
- EXO rookie group wins inkigayo (or other of those k-chart)
- ShinHwa rapes music charts *
- Dalmatian made amazing and flawless performances (only a few people notice)
If my predictions goes wrong, kpop then has changed for the better
(except *)
SHINee and Beast’s battle will be one to look out for…others not so much. I think having Shinee comeback after Exo’s debut isn’t a good move for SM or Exo.
Most excited about Beast and 2NE1…love them.
This is interesting. I thought DBSK would at least have a comeback sometime in 2012 (rumour was that it was in the later half). And I didn’t think Big Bang would come back until March, but I guess they’ll be back before all 6 album versions are out and before all 3 mv (or the predicted 6).
Still could. I doubt every company announces their plans 9 months in advance.
If U-Kiss was looking to finally get that first win they’ve waited 4 years for they’re gonna have to wait once again or move that comeback date back. SHINee, B2ST, and CNBLUE are guaranteed to attract more attention than U-Kiss in April no matter how far they’ve come recently.
Ukiss is so irrevelant. No matter where they shift, they will never win it.
I honestly stopped caring about the others as soon as I heard about Shinhwa’s comeback.
On their goodbye stage, A-Pink said they will come back soon… 9 months does not seem soon
I think BEAST’s comeback is expected to be in May… There were few articles about it….
MOTHERFUCKING GIRLS DAY BITCHES#!!!!
HELL YEAH
and secret and rainbow in may? thats gonna be sluttily awesome..god i love summer
