With all the upcoming debuts and comebacks, 2012 has already promised to be an exciting year in K-Pop. Not only are the current idol groups returning to the scene, but many rumors have been circulating about the beloved idol groups of the 90′s reuniting again this year. The latest to join that list? None other than the once-popular 5-member group g.o.d.
According to an insider, “Since the end of last year, the members’ respective agencies have been discussing methods to release a new g.o.d. album and to hold a concert.“
g.o.d’s final album, “Into the Sky” was released in 2005. Since then, the members had all moved on to building their individual careers. It appears that g.o.d is now ready to reunite after taking a 7-year long break. With rumors of both H.O.T (read about it here) and g.o.d making a comeback this year, fans can barely contain their excitement.
The insider revealed, “The process is a little difficult since the members are all currently signed with different agencies. However, the members Kim Tae Woo, Danny Ahn, Son Ho Young, and Park Joon Hyung definitely want to reunite as g.o.d. Representatives from Kim Tae Woo’s and Danny Ahn’s agencies have been meeting with each other to discuss official plans for the album release.” Unfortunately, it seems that the probability is low for former member Yoon Gye Sang, who left the group in 2004, to participate in the reunion.
The insider continued, “After releasing the new album, the group will most likely focus more on concerts to meet with their fans rather than TV appearances. g.o.d was the first idol group to hold 100 performances at small theaters. They will be holding a concert for all their fans who have been eagerly waiting for their return.“
g.o.d debuted in 1999 under JYP Entertainment and had many hit songs over the years including “Lies,” “An Ordinary Day,” and “Road.” They have even sold well over 1 million copies of their most popular albums. In 2004, member Yoon Gye Sang left the group. The remaining 4 members released their final 7th album in 2005 before the group officially broke up. Since then, Kim Tae Woo has completed his military service and established himself as a solo singer. Son Ho Young has expanded his horizons as he dabbled in singing, emceeing, and acting. Both Park Joon Hyung and Danny Ahn have gone down new career paths as actors. Last December, all 5 g.o.d members gathered together for the first time in 8 years for Kim Tae Woo’s wedding (read about it here).
