Tomorrow X Together will release its ninth EP, "Perfect Storm," on Nov. 16, one of several comebacks crowding a busy November 2026 release calendar, according to a Sept. 28 report from The Korea Herald. The same lineup includes Xikers, Rescene, and an expected new EP from Ateez, with the report framing the month as K-pop's last major comeback window of the year. [1]

Four acts, four dates

Per the report, Xikers opens the month with its eighth EP, "Route Zero: The Calling," on Nov. 2, followed the next day by Rescene's fourth EP, "Pulse." Tomorrow X Together follows with its ninth EP, "Perfect Storm," on Nov. 16. Ateez is described as likely to return with a new EP later in the month, a plan attributed to industry sources rather than an official announcement. [1]

A tight calendar before year's end

The report frames November as a crowded stretch that gives K-pop acts one last comeback window, meaning TXT's EP and Ateez's expected release arrive as part of a broader scramble among multiple groups to release new work in the same narrow period. That clustering underscores how competitive scheduling has become toward the end of the year, with four acts releasing or expected to release EPs within roughly two weeks of each other. [1]

TXT's steady 2026 release pace

Tomorrow X Together's archived discography shows a steady cadence of releases through 2026, including the singles "Setsuna Hanabi" (Aug. 16) and "Nice to Meet Ya" (Aug. 2), the EP "7TH YEAR: 가시덤불에 잠시 바람이 멈췄을 때" (April 13), and the single "SSS (Sending Secret Signals) feat. HYDE" (Jan. 25), following the 2025 album "The Star Chapter: TOGETHER." The planned Nov. 16 arrival of "Perfect Storm" continues that frequent release rhythm. [2]

Ateez's recent run of releases

Ateez's archived discography likewise shows a dense 2026 release schedule, including "BAD (Japanese ver.)" on July 28, the "BAD (Steve Aoki Ver.)" single on June 30, and "GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5" on June 26, part of a multi-installment "GOLDEN HOUR" series that began in 2024. A new EP in November, if it materializes as the report suggests, would extend that same pattern of frequent, closely spaced releases. [3]

What remains unconfirmed

Unlike the dated releases from Xikers, Rescene and TXT, Ateez's November comeback is described only as likely and sourced to industry sources rather than an official statement, so its timing and title remain an inference rather than a confirmed fact pending official announcement. [1]
