Fin.K.L is a Korean pop group and comprises four girls in their late teens and early twenties. There is Lee Hyori, the leader of the group. Ok Ju Hyun is the lead vocal and Lee Jin and Sung Yuri fill in with the rest of the vocals. Ju Hyun was picked as the first member. She won a singing contest on a radio station, singing Mariah Carey's "Hero." Some top music executive told her that he was looking to form a girl group and she would be the first member. Ju Hyun then introduced her friend, Jin, to the casting director. Jin sang Eco's "Heng Bok Han Na Reul" and got the part right on the spot. Yuri was discovered while drawing art at a park. Then came Hyori, who was discovered while taking sticker pictures. Yuri delayed the whole process of forming Fin.K.L because her parents were very reluctant to let her become a singer. Yuri is a very bright student. Her dad is also a professor and wanted her to continue her education. Finally, around January of 1998, they formed Fin.K.L. The name was made up by fans via the Internet in Korea. Fin.K.L debuted on May 22, 1998. Fin.K.L stands for Fine Killing Liberty. It means that they would do anything to fight for or standing in the way of liberty. People say that Fin.K.L was made to challenge S.E.S.,(another Korean girl group) which was true. But remember, Diva was the first successful all girl group. Then S.E.S., Fin.K.L and now many others. S.E.S is good but Fin.K.L is far better. S.E.S. sound like little pubescent girls while Fin.K.L sound more mature. Jin goes to the same church as Yuri. Jin is very "holy." She wakes up at 5:00 A.M. and attends seh byuk ghee doh (morning prayer) with her mom every morning. Yuri volunteers often helping people with cerebal palsy. Ju Hyun always cooks for the group. Hyori just takes care of all of them. They are the nicest people you would ever meet. They debuted with the first song, Blue Rain, a slow R&B type of song. It was popular but not as popular as their second song, Neh nam jah chin goo eh geh. This became a number one hit with its fast beat and catchy words. This song skyrocketed them to stardom and they became famous all over Korea. . They cried like babies when this went to number one. They thanked ha nah nim. Their third song, Ruby, also went to number one in Korea. Fin.K.L frequently dressed in all black singing Ruby. They "popularized" the black look even more in Korea.
