IVE's 2nd Full Album & MONSTA X World Tour... Kakao Entertainment Reveals 2026 Lineup

The girl group IVE will release a new full album next month, and the group MONSTA X will start their world tour, marking the full-scale activities of artists under Kakao Entertainment.

On the 27th, Kakao Entertainment revealed the annual activity plans for their artists for 2026.

IVE will release their 2nd full album 'REVIVE+' at the end of February. This will be their new release about six months after 'IVE SECRET' in August last year, and they plan to unveil a pre-release track on February 9 ahead of the full album announcement.

After completing their comeback activities, they will continue their second world tour 'Show What I Am', which kicked off at the KSPO Dome in Seoul last October. They plan to tour Japan's Osaka Kyocera Dome, as well as America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania.

MONSTA X, who showcased their full group activities to celebrate their 10th anniversary last year, will hold their world tour 'THE X: NEXUS' at the KSPO Dome from the 30th to the 1st of next month. This tour, taking place four years after 2022, will continue with performances in Asia and Latin America following the Seoul concert.

WOODZ, who caused a reverse trend last year with the hit song 'Drowning', has announced the release of a new full album this year. Additionally, he will star in the movie 〈Slide Strum Mute〉 set to be released on the 26th of next month, marking his acting challenge. This work is a 59-minute short film directed by Park Se-young, where WOODZ plays the character Woo-jin, who races with inner desires.

In addition, the rookie Kiki started their comeback activities by releasing their second mini-album 'Delulu Pack' on the 26th, and solo artists like Kyuhyun and Jung Seung-hwan are also expected to continue their active activities.

The band Dragon Pony plans to meet fans on various stages, and the five-member band 'Hatswave', born from the Mnet survival program 〈Steel Heart Club〉, will debut in the first half of the year.
