K-pop is undeniably a global phenomenon. Its music videos regularly rack up millions of YouTube views, concerts often sell out within minutes, and tweets about K-pop stars frequently go viral. Once a burgeoning music sector that initially catered to South Korean audiences, K-pop has exploded in popularity over the years. Today, it's more heavily consumed outside of its home country than within it. But long before bands like BTS, Blackpink, Seventeen, and Twice topped music charts and won audiences worldwide, a four-member girl group named Fin.K.L (pronounced like "Pinkle") captivated Korea and proved there was a fervent demand for K-pop idol music.
One of K-pop's earliest girl groups, and part of its so-called "first generation" of artists, Fin.K.L broke into the music scene in the late 1990s when Korean music executives were trying to figure out what K-pop should look and sound like.
