S.E.S, one of the first-generation girl groups that led the K-pop boom in the 1990s, makes a comeback with new song "Love [Story]" on Nov. 28. This is the group's first new song in 14 years.
SM Entertainment, the trio's original agency, announced the comeback project "Remember" including the new song, an upcoming album and year-end concerts, Wednesday.
The return of S.E.S celebrates the group's 20th anniversary. Debuting in 1997, S.E.S is composed of Bada, Eugene and Shoo and known for hit songs such as "I'm Your Girl," "Dreams Come True" and "Just a Feeling."
After officially disbanding in 2002, Bada remained active as a singer as well as a musical actress, starring in "Notre Dame de Paris" and "Carmen," while Eugene pursued a career in acting and took part in hit dramas such as "Bread, Love and Dreams" (2010) and most recently "All about My Mom" (2015). Shoo has been out of the spotlight for years and made an appearance on the TV show "Roommate" with her twin daughters in 2015.
The new track "Love [Story]" is a rearrangement of the group's hit "Love" from their third studio album "Love" in 1999. SM composer and producer Yoo Young-jin arranged the song.
S.E.S will hold a solo concert at Daeyang Hall at Sejong University, eastern Seoul, on Dec. 30 and 31, and release a special album Jan. 2.
SM Entertainment also said 20 percent of the proceeds from the new song and album will go to charity.
