First-generation legend K-pop icon Fin.K.L is returning as a complete group for the first time in about 21 years.

Gemstone i&EM announced on the 21st that "Fin.K.L is preparing for full-group activities with its four members: Lee Hyori, Ok Joo-hyun, Lee Jin, and Sung Yuri."

This marks Fin.K.L's first activity as a complete group since their digital single album 'Forever Fin.K.L' in 2005, approximately 21 years later. Although the four members reunited through JTBC's 'Camping Club' in 2019 and released a new song, that was more of a special project triggered by the broadcast. This time, it holds unique significance as a fresh start for sustained activities under the name 'Fin.K.L,' going beyond one-time meetings.

Debuting in 1998, Fin.K.L created numerous hit songs such as 'Blue Rain,' 'To My Boyfriend,' 'Eternal Love,' and 'Now,' establishing themselves as a cornerstone of South Korea's girl group history. They showcased a broad spectrum ranging from pure images to bold and powerful concepts, solidifying their position as the leading first-generation girl group representing the music scene at the time.

They captivated both the public and fans by sweeping number-one spots on various music shows and major award ceremonies, leaving an immense influence on countless girl groups that emerged afterward. They remain a name synonymous with the lineage of K-pop girl groups.

Since then, Lee Hyori, Ok Joo-hyun, Lee Jin, and Sung Yuri have each built independent careers in their respective fields. Lee Hyori has maintained her unique presence as both a singer and a broadcaster, while Ok Joo-hyun has established herself at the top tier as a musical theater actress. Lee Jin and Sung Yuri have also consistently been active in their own domains by alternating between acting and broadcasting.

The fact that these four individuals, who have spent long periods cultivating their own paths and experiences separately, are now moving together as one team gives this move even greater significance.

Especially since they are embarking on full-scale activities under the name 'Fin.K.L' for the first time in over 21 years, attention is focused not only on nostalgia but also on what 'Fin.K.L of 2026'—the current Lee Hyori, Ok Joo-hyun, Lee Jin, and Sung Yuri—will present.

Meanwhile, Fin.K.L's full-group activities will be promoted through collaboration between Gemstone i&EM, the four members, and relevant companies, with Gemstone i&EM taking charge of overall planning and operations.

Jason Lee, CEO of Gemstone i&EM Group, stated, "Fin.K.L is an artist with symbolic significance in South Korea's popular music history." He added, "We will sequentially unveil various activities to create new moments for fans who have waited for Fin.K.L for a long time."
