Fin.K.L Announces Full-Group Comeback

The first generation girl group Fin.K.L is set to make a comeback for the first time in 21 years!

On September 21, GEMSTONE E&M announced, “All four members—Lee Hyori, Ock Joo Hyun, Lee Jin, and Sung Yuri—are preparing for a full-group reunion of Fin.K.L.”

This marks Fin.K.L’s first comeback in approximately 21 years since their digital single album “Forever Fin.K.L” in 2005. While the four members did reunite to release a new song through the 2019 JTBC variety program “Camping Club,” that was a one-time event centered around the broadcast. GEMSTONE E&M, which is in charge of planning and managing Fin.K.L’s full-group activities, emphasized that this reunion will be “a fresh start for sustainable activities.”

The agency further stated, “Fin.K.L is a group with symbolic significance in the history of South Korean popular music. We will sequentially unveil various activities so that we can create new moments with fans who have waited for Fin.K.L for a long time.”

Debuting in 1998, Fin.K.L was beloved as one of the representative girl groups of the first generation of idols, producing numerous hit songs such as “Blue Rain,” “To My Boyfriend,” “Forever Love,” and “Now.” Since then, Lee Hyori, Ock Joo Hyun, Lee Jin, and Sung Yuri have each built successful, independent careers in their respective fields.

Are you excited for Fin.K.L’s comeback? Stay tuned for more updates!

Netflix’s upcoming variety show “Jae Seok’s B&B Rules!” has unveiled a new poster and teaser!

“Jae Seok’s B&B Rules!” follows Yu Jae Seok as he takes on the challenge of running a bed-and-breakfast for the very first time. Joined by Lee Kwang Soo, Byeon Woo Seok, and Ji Ye Eun as staff members, they welcome guests and create memorable moments filled with laughter, chaos, and heartfelt warmth.

In the newly released main poster, the facial expressions of the staff, which contain a mix of joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure, centered around camp director Yu Jae Seok standing on the drill platform, are intriguing. The phrase, “The guest is king, and I am also king,” inside the ad balloon floating in the sky stimulates curiosity.

The main trailer grabs attention with the intense welcome greeting from Yu Jae Seok, Lee Kwang Soo, Byeon Woo Seok, and Ji Ye Eun as they greet the guests. The camp schedule, packed with various programs 24 hours a day for three days and two nights, further heightens anticipation.

The appearance of Lee Hyori as well as her husband and singer-songwriter Lee Sang Soon also adds to the excitement. As “super-special” part-timers visiting the Jae Seok’s B&B, they are scheduled to conduct morning yoga classes for the guests and show off their “homestay program pioneer” side by naturally blending in with them.
