‘Blue Rain’ Returns: A Nostalgic Homage and New Beginnings
On May 25, the anniversary of FINKL’s debut in 1998, Ock Joo-hyun announced the release of her new version of ‘Blue Rain’—the first track from her remake album ‘Rhapsodie.’ Ock reflected on the journey, stating, “On May 25, 1998, we released ‘Blue Rain’ under the name FINKL. Today, on the same date, I present this song anew—to share my present self, my emotions, and memories with the world once again.”
This touching reunion showcases not only the stars’ professional artistry, but also the strength and longevity of their personal bonds.

Their friendship, forged more than 20 years ago before FINKL’s 1998 debut, continues to draw admiration as it approaches its third decade.
Just last year, fans delighted in seeing candid photos of the group enjoying dessert together during Lee Jin’s visit to Korea, further evincing the timeless nature of their connection.
