Singer LEE HYORI revealed activity plans for the group Fin.K.L, who are reuniting after 21 years.
On October 20, LEE HYORI appeared as "Intermittent Hyori" on MBC Radio's "A Perfect Day with Lee Sang-soon," hosted by her husband Lee Sang-soon. When Lee Sang-soon mentioned he heard Fin.K.L had been busy gathering recently, LEE HYORI shared her recent updates, saying, "We're working hard practicing something. Doing yoga classes every day while practicing alongside it leaves me no time to rest."
Regarding Fin.K.L's reunion, LEE HYORI expressed, "We had spent time living apart, and we each did a lot of individual music activities. Lee Jin lived in the United States and hasn't been active in the entertainment industry, Sung Yu-ri was raising children, and it has been a long time for me singing and dancing as well." However, she added, "Yet once the four of us gathered, we immediately went right back to being 20 years old. Having gotten married, practiced yoga, and done volunteer work, I thought I had become a mature person, but meeting my old friends proved otherwise. It feels right on the verge of exploding what had been bottled up like a dormant volcano."
Regarding future plans, LEE HYORI said, "I hope we can release new songs and hold concerts. I also want to appear on fun variety shows. My dreams are grand. Out of pride, I still haven't gotten reading glasses. I'm worried I won't be able to see the prompter during the concert."
Fin.K.L's activities are being planned and prepared with god member Kim Tae-woo's agency. LEE HYORI said, "Because we took a long break and the four members' personalities are all different, we are having continuous meetings about where and how to go. We need to satisfy the needs of those who waited for Fin.K.L in the past, and we can't just recycle old things too much, which makes it even harder. But it's not a huge burden; it's fun. I thought I was sick and tired of this kind of thing, but it turns out I'm really enjoying it."
She also shared the other members' reactions. LEE HYORI said, "They tell me to stop acting up so much, saying, 'Unnie, you're going to overload yourself.' I feel like I might burn out quickly at this rate, but my desire to do my best and do well is so big that I'm working hard." To this, Lee Sang-soon also expressed concern, saying, "Because my health wasn't good either, it would be a big problem if Ms. LEE HYORI also collapsed in our house."
Previously, agency Gemstone E&M officially announced that they are preparing for Fin.K.L's full-group activities after approximately 21 years alongside the four members: LEE HYORI, Ock Joo-hyun, Lee Jin, and Sung Yu-ri. This marks Fin.K.L's first official group activities in about 21 years since their 2005 digital single "Forever Fin.K.L."
The agency stated that over roughly two years, centered on music and performances, they plan to meet fans through stages leading up to their 30th debut anniversary, rolling out documentaries, variety shows, exhibitions, official merchandise, brand collaborations, commercials, and fan projects.
