April was a month in which male artists, both in groups and solo, stood out more than ever.

This April, members of popular groups made their solo debuts, heating up the K-pop scene and causing fans' hearts to flutter. Solo activities by the members often draw attention as they can showcase individual charms not seen in group activities.

First, former Wanna One member Park Jihoon made a comeback on the 12th with "Blank Effect." Known for his cuteness and boyish charm, Park Jihoon captivated fans with a more mature, masculine transformation.

Following him, global idol group BTS's Suga returned with "Haegeum." Appearing under the stage name "Agust D," he has received tremendous love from the public for his personal work released nearly three years after his May 2020 mixtape "D-2."

Additionally, HIGHLIGHT's original MJ, Lee Gi-kwang, showed off his solid dance skills with "Predator." Big Bang's Taeyang, a legend among national idol groups, released his new mini-album "Down to Earth" and embarked on his first comeback in five years to secure his place in the music industry.

However, we cannot ignore the accomplishments of the groups. NCT unit DoJaeJung (Doyoung, Jaehyun, Jungwoo) recorded the highest first-week sales of any K-pop unit group album, selling 670,000 copies.

Girls' group IVE, known as the idols of elementary school students, continues their success streak with "I AM," following their pre-release song 'Kitch.'

In this fiercely competitive comeback season for K-pop singers, Ilgan Sports and Mubeat are conducting a poll for fans to vote for the 'Best Comeback of April 2023.'

The new Weekly Choice will begin at 5 PM (KST) on April 27th in the Mubeat app, running until 3 PM on May 3rd.

The celebrity who ranks first in the 'Ilgan Sports X Mubeat' Weekly Choice will be awarded print ads in Ilgan Sports and in-app popup ads on Mubeat.
