Former One Direction member Zayn Malik recently announced his return to music and has gone viral among K-Pop fans unexpectedly.
Zayn Malik | VOGUEIn 2010, the English-Irish boy band One Direction was formed during the television program The X-Factor. The group made up of Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne, and Zayn Malk, shot to superstardom and became the biggest boy band on the planet.
One Direction | @onedirection/TwitterFollowing years of success, it was announced in March 2015 that Zayn would leave the group, citing “musical differences.” The group went on an indefinite hiatus in 2016 and have since been pursuing individual careers.
Zayn released three solo albums, the last of which came out in 2021. Since then, he has stayed out of the spotlight, with fans hopeful he would return to music eventually.

The video quickly gained attention from fans. The video is similar to the mysterious teasers K-Pop boy groups often release before their comeback.
Some even jokingly compared it to clips of EXO‘s “Don’t Mess Up My Tempo” music video…

As many K-Pop fans were Directioners before and after diving into K-Pop, it’s no surprise they combined his return with their other interests!
