Fin.K.L, a four-piece girl band that enjoyed its heyday in the 1990s, will reunite after 14 years on JTBC reality show "Camping Club," according to the cable broadcaster Wednesday.
"Camping Club is set to go on air in July," a JTBC spokesperson said.
The program will feature all group members ― Lee Hyo-ri, Ock Joo-hyun, Sung Yu-ri and Lee Jin ― traveling around Korea in a camping car. During the journey, they will share their stories after Fin.K.L with one another and decide whether to perform on stage as a team to celebrate the 21st anniversary of the group's birth.
If they decide to, it will be Fin.K.L's first performance since it disbanded in 2005.
The group debuted with the album "Blue Rain" in 1998 and rose to stardom with many hit songs, including "Eternal Love (1999)" and "Now (2000)." It was one of the most popular girl groups of the '90s, alongside rival S.E.S.
After they decided to go separate ways, Hyo-ri continued her singing career as a solo artist and was a major hit. Ock entered the musical world while Jin moved to New York after marrying a Korean-American businessman. Sung turned to acting in 2002.
