1st generation K-Pop girl group S.E.S confirms reunion after 14 years

Hailed as the original K-Pop girl group, S.E.S has confirmed their official reunion after recently meeting up with SM Entertainment’s Lee Soo Man.

Consisted of members Shoo, Eugene, and Bada, the trio debuted in 1997 under SM Entertainment, and became known as the first successful K-Pop girl group. They released various tracks, including “I’m Your Girl,” “Dreams Come True,” “Be Natural,” and more, most of which continues to be performed by current idols. After five years together, S.E.S decided to disband in 2002 after unable to reach an agreement on contract renewal with their agency.

As individuals, the group members has continued their activities solo with varying success. At one point, each of them has pursued a solo career on stage, as well as worked in the musical industry with Bada unarguably reaching the most success in that area. Eugene also became a television actress, becoming recognized through her successful dramas.

After 20 years since their debut, S.E.S will finally be making a comeback as a trio.

On October 3rd, Bada made an exciting announcement on her Instagram, revealing they will be reuniting with an album release in 2017.
