As per NSPA’s report on October 12, JYP Entertainment’s Stray Kids and ITZY are preparing for their comeback in November. This is along with JYP’s other groups, TWICE and Japanese girl group NiziU too. It states the successful sales achievements of the groups.

An analyst revealed that all four JYP groups would be making a comeback in the fourth quarter, predicting positive growth in the company’s share and earnings. Fans believe Stray Kids and TWICE will be having a Korean comeback while ITZY will finally make their long-overdue Japanese comeback.

While other fans are ecstatic about the news, MIDZYs are concerned about ITZY not having enough rest period before another hectic comeback schedule drops.

Stray Kids and ITZY reportedly gearing up for a comeback in November

Both JYP’s groups Stray Kids and ITZY recently wrapped up their latest comeback, the Japanese album Scars, and Crazy In Love, respectively. However, fans will not have to wait long to see their favorite groups back in action.

Hana Financial Investment’s analyst Lee Ki Hoon revealed that four JYPE’s groups are gearing up for a comeback in November 2021 - Stray Kids, ITZY, TWICE and NiziU.

As TWICE’s comeback is already announced with their third full album, STAYs and MIDZYs do believe the speculation might hold true.

The financial analyst informed this while predicting an investment profit in the company's Q4 status.

He also ended up confirming TWICE's domestic concert in December. Whether online or online is still up for speculation.

Along with TWICE, JYP is also eyeing the possibility of NiziU's tour in Japan. However, the news is almost seen as a "confirmation" of the groups' comeback.

An image of a 'JYP artist activity estimation' has been doing the rounds on Twitter for a few days. The table has all JYP groups' activities listed per quarter.

The fourth quarter table, titled 4Q21, for ITZY, Stray Kids and NiziU are filled too.

In Stray Kids table, the table mentions: '10/13 Japanese single, second album' and 'November repackage album (700,00 copies)

In ITZY's, the table mentions: 'November repack album (300,000 copies)' and 'December digital single'

Stray Kids made a comeback with NOEASY in August. It was their first album release in almost eight months and earned the 'Million Seller' title.

They're now the only JYP artists to have surpassed one million sales with only one album. Combining that with ITZY's Crazy In Love, the groups together sold nearly two million copies.

Stray Kids, ITZY and TWICE have received an incredible reception for their latest releases. It'll be interesting to see how the company handles three groups' comeback and two groups' tour simultaneously, without making fans complain about lackluster promotions again.
