Fin.K.L to Make Full-Group Comeback After 21 Years

Legendary girl group Fin.K.L is making its return as a complete group after about 21 years.

Gemstone E&M officially announced on September 21, "We are joining hands with the four members—Lee Hyori, Ock Joo-hyun, Lee Jin, and Sung Yu-ri—to prepare for Fin.K.L's official full-group activities."

This project will be planned and managed by Gemstone E&M in collaboration with the four members and related parties. Jason Lee, Group Management Executive Director at Gemstone E&M, shared his aspirations, saying, "Fin.K.L is an artist with monumental symbolism in the history of Korean popular music. We will sequentially unveil a variety of activities to deliver new memories and emotions to fans who have waited and supported Fin.K.L without change for a long time."

This marks Fin.K.L's first full-scale team comeback in 21 years, following their digital single album "Forever Fin.K.L" released in 2005. Although they reunited after 14 years through the 2019 JTBC variety show "Camping Club" and released a special new song, that project was largely a broadcast-linked event.

Debuting in 1998, Fin.K.L opened the golden age of girl groups by scoring mega-hits with every track they released, starting with their debut song "Blue Rain," followed by "To My Boyfriend," "Eternal Love," "Pride," "White," and "Now." Seamlessly transitioning from symbols of innocence to bold and charismatic performers, they swept the grand prizes at the three major broadcasting networks and enjoyed syndrome-level popularity, leaving an indelible mark on the lineage of K-pop girl groups.

Following their group activities, Lee Hyori has continued a peerless career as an iconic superstar, solo singer, and entertainer, while Ock Joo-hyun has established herself as one of South Korea's top musical divas. Both Lee Jin and Sung Yu-ri have also received widespread love across acting and variety television.
