Fin.K.L Reunion Update: K-Pop Girl Group To Reunite At Lee Hyori's Jeju Island Home
The K-pop girl group Fin.K.L is rumored to be planning a reunion. The buzz about the band's get-together emerged after three of its members were recently spotted together.
Lee Jin, Ock Ju Hyun, and Sung Yuri were recently seen dining out in Seoul. Apparently, Lee Jin, who lives in New York with her husband, arrived in Korea for the Fin.K.L reunion. Soompi cited a source saying the three are planning to go to Jeju island to visit their bandmate Lee Hyori. Ock Joo Hyun and Sung Yuri's agencies, however, can't confirm the reunion, saying it's a personal meeting among friends.
"We saw the report that said Fin.K.L members are visiting Lee Hyori's home. However, we're aware that it has not yet been finalized and it's difficult to confirm the details since it's a personal matter," the agencies said.
The possibility of a reunion emerged when Lee Hyori and Sung Yuri surprised Fin.K.L fans when they appeared at Ock Ju Hyun's recent concert. Lee Jin also greeted their fans at the concert through a video message. Ock Ju Hyun, Lee Hyori, and Sung Yuri were reportedly asked, during the event, about the possibility of releasing another song as Fin.K.L. The trio agreed to work together again and also opened up about the possibility of a reunion.
Many fans are expecting that the much-awaited reunion of Fin.K.L will be happening this weekend as the group will celebrate their 20th anniversary on May 12. Fin.K.L debuted in 1998. Among their hit songs are "Blue Rain," "To My Boyfriend," "Forever Love," "White," and "Now."
In 2006, the four members of Fin.K.L left DSP Entertainment and signed up with different agencies, but the group was never disbanded. All members are currently pursuing their solo careers. Throughout the years, the idols kept in touch and frequently share photos of the group on their social media accounts.
Lee Hyori currently stars in Hyori's Homestay 2 along with her husband Lee Sang-soon and Girls' Generation member YoonA. In the recent episode of the show, Lee Hyori showed YoonA a video of herself dancing to the Girls' Generation song "Tell Me Your Wish."
The senior idol told YoonA that she went to a neighborhood dance academy and asked them to teach her the choreography of the Girls' Generation's song. YoonA watched Lee Hyori's video and praised the latter for performing the dance steps perfectly.
"'Tell Me Your Wish' isn't too fast-paced and is fun. You have to teach me the chorus part before you leave," she told YoonA.
Meanwhile, there were also speculations that the Fin.K.L reunion will air on Lee Hyori's show, Hyori's Homestay 2. The rumor has been shot down as the filming for the reality show has already wrapped up.
