In an electrifying announcement that has sent shockwaves through the global K-pop community, Tango Music revealed on Monday that iconic boy band U-KISS is set to make an extraordinary comeback in celebration of its 15th anniversary. The beloved group, once at the forefront of the K-pop wave, will return as a six-piece, reigniting their meteoric rise to stardom that captivated millions of fans around the world.
"U-KISS has officially confirmed their long-awaited return as a six-member ensemble, led by the talented Soohyun, Hoon, and Kiseob," declared the agency in a statement. "We are committed to providing unwavering support to ensure that the group rewards their devoted fans who have eagerly anticipated their comeback for an extended period."
This momentous occasion will mark U-KISS' first venture into the spotlight since the release of their single, "Ready For You," back in December 2017. However, their 15th anniversary project promises to be much more than a mere group comeback, as Tango Music revealed a series of thrilling releases and activities lined up to commemorate the milestone.
In an unprecedented move, members Hoon and Soohyun will each delight fans with a highly-anticipated digital single set to drop in May. These highly anticipated releases will pave the way for U-KISS' resounding return as a full group in June, when they will unleash their eagerly awaited group album. As the fervor reaches its zenith, the group is set to embark on a momentous journey to Japan in July, where they will grace the stage with an unforgettable series of concerts.
Debuting in 2008 with the EP "New Generation," U-KISS quickly made a name for themselves in 2009 with their mega-hit single "Man Man Ha Ni." The group went on to deliver a string of chart-topping hits, including the immensely popular tracks "Bingle Bingle" and "Shut Up." Breaking boundaries, U-KISS ventured into the Japanese music scene in 2011, captivating fans with their first Japanese single, "Tick Tack," and subsequently releasing eight full-length albums and numerous singles in the country.
The upcoming six-piece reunion represents a long-awaited homecoming for U-KISS' adoring Japanese fanbase, as the group prepares to embark on a thrilling concert series in July. The band has confirmed two concerts thus far, scheduled to take place at Zepp Haneda in Tokyo on July 28 and at Zepp Namba in Osaka on July 30.
While the agency has tantalizingly kept the identities of the three additional members under wraps, the anticipation surrounding this monumental comeback continues to build. Tango Music has assured fans that U-KISS is currently in the final stages of album production, suggesting that their much-anticipated return will undoubtedly be a force to be reckoned with.
As U-KISS prepares to reclaim their throne and mesmerize audiences worldwide once again, devoted fans eagerly await the arrival of this extraordinary comeback. With their groundbreaking music and unparalleled performances, U-KISS is set to leave an indelible mark on the K-pop industry, solidifying their position as one of the genre's most enduring and beloved boy bands.
