K-Pop Group Return From Disbandment After Years But Missing Multiple Members

Fans are still excited for what the future holds.

As numerous groups have returned from inactivity or disbandment, another one has announced their return but with a twist.

CROSS GENE | Amuse Korea

Earlier this month, boy group CROSS GENE made a mysterious announcement.

The post, which featured a question mark and the phrase “What is next?”, sparked much excitement over the possibility of a group comeback. CROSS GENE as a group has been inactive since 2018, when their last Japanese release occurred.

After teasing another photo featuring two figures, it was revealed that member Yongseok, who also goes by Wonchan, would return to the group.

Shin Wonho and Yongseok will be active as a duo, beginning with an appearance at Shin Wonho’s 15th anniversary concert on March 27.

This means that the group, which at its most active had six members, though their last group activities in Korea featured five, will be missing several members.

Still, many expressed excitement over the reunion, though some were a little bittersweet.
