The group Bad Villain has announced their comeback next month, coinciding with their participation in a festival along the Han River, heightening anticipation among fans.

According to recent reports, Bad Villain will make their comeback next month, marking their return 10 months after their last single 'ZOOM' released in November last year.

Earlier this year, Bad Villain achieved a significant milestone by being named in the '2025 Essential Emerging Artists 100' by the renowned British music magazine NME.

In February, NME praised Bad Villain as "dynamic and forward-thinking," noting their unique reinterpretation of the girl crush concept in the competitive K-pop girl group market. The magazine highlighted the group's "powerful stage presence," particularly emphasizing the performances led by Emma and Chloe Young, which set them apart.

Debuting in June last year with their single 'OVERSTEP,' Bad Villain boasts two active dancers among its members, showcasing exceptional performances. Emma, mentioned by NME, gained recognition for her flexibility on Mnet's survival program 'Street Woman Fighter.' Chloe Young is a professional dancer affiliated with the renowned Korean dance crew '1MILLION.'

To highlight their members' strengths, Bad Villain has consistently released music in the 'hip-hop' genre since their debut. This genre allows them to showcase their impressive dance skills, requiring more than just simple choreography but also a smooth groove.

Bad Villain is set to perform at the global music festival 'ATA Festival 2025' on September 28th, the second day of the event, held at Nanji Hangang Park. Other performers on the same day include Kim Jaejoong, The Boyz, Tours, Cravity, QWER, Fifty Fifty, 82Major, Eunice, Ha Sungwoon, and New Beat. The first day, September 27th, will feature artists such as Kim Junsu, Jannabi, Peppertones, Lee Mujin, 10cm, Park Hye-won, Kyungseo, H1-KEY, Say My Name, and Hwang Garam.
