Girl group Fin.K.L to resume full-group activities after 21 years

Fin.K.L, a prominent K-pop girl group from the late 1990s, is preparing to reunite as a full group for the first time in 21 years, their agency announced on Monday. Gemstone E&M, the group's management company, confirmed that all four original members—Lee Hyo-ri, Ock Joo-hyun, Lee Jin, and Sung Yu-ri—have come together under the Fin.K.L name. This reunion marks a significant new chapter for the quartet, who are no longer merely making a one-off comeback.

The group's last full-group performance occurred in 2005 with the digital single "Forever Fin.K.L." Although they briefly reunited in 2019 for a segment of the JTBC variety show "Camping Club," releasing a new song connected to the program, this was not considered a resumption of their full-group activities. Their initial debut in 1998 helped shape the early K-pop girl group era with chart-topping hits such as "Blue Rain," "To My Boyfriend," and "Eternal Love."
