Source: the Apple Music catalogue for the artists tracked on KoreaPlus. Comprehensive for those acts, not for all of K-pop.
43 releases from the 15 acts tracked here came out in 2022. That counts albums, EPs and singles as separate releases, which is how Apple Music catalogues them.
What was the first K-pop release of 2022?
Can't Control Myself by TAEYEON, on 2022-01-17.
Is this every K-pop release that year?
No. It covers the acts tracked on KoreaPlus and draws on one storefront’s catalogue, so smaller acts and releases absent from it are not listed.
