K-pop's newest generation is vying for attention, yet some original stars are returning to the spotlight. Fin.K.L, Fly to the Sky, and Son Ho-young (g.o.d) are all preparing new music activities, injecting nostalgia of first-generation K-pop into an industry now led by younger artists. These returns are particularly striking as they involve more than just performances of old hits; the veteran artists are launching new releases and longer-term projects after years away from their music careers.
Fin.K.L, a defining girl group of K-pop's first generation, is making a full-group return after about 21 years. Gemstone E&M, overseeing the group's comeback, announced on September 21 that all four members - Lee Hyo-ri, Ock Joo-hyun, Sung Yu-ri, and Lee Jin - would resume activities together. This marks Fin.K.L's first full-fledged group activities since their 2005 digital single "Forever Fin.K.L."
Following their hiatus, Lee Hyo-ri and Ock have pursued solo singing careers, while Sung and Lee Jin have focused primarily on acting.
