Fin.K.L, a pioneering K-pop girl group from the late 1990s, is poised to resume full-group activities after an unprecedented 21-year hiatus, according to their agency Gemstone E&M. The announcement on Monday revealed that all four founding members – Lee Hyo-ri, Ock Joo-hyun, Lee Jin, and Sung Yu-ri – have reunited under the Fin.K.L banner, signaling a new chapter for the iconic quartet.
This time around, the group aims to embark on a fresh journey of activities beyond a mere reunion, the agency conveyed in a press release. The quartet's last full-group performance occurred in 2005 with the digital single "Forever Fin.K.L." While they briefly reunited in 2019 for the JTBC variety show "Camping Club," releasing a new song tied to the program, this effort was considered a project linked to the show rather than a revival of the full group.
Fin.K.L made their debut in 1998, leaving an indelible mark on the early K-pop girl group era with chart-topping hits such as "Blue Rain," "To My Boyfriend," and "Eternal Love."
