Fin. K.L debuted in 1998 with its first album Blue Rain. The trend of late 90's K-pop was to have groups sing cute, catchy music, as evidenced by the success of SM Entertainment groups S.E.S. and H.O.T..
In contrast, Fin.K.L's initial strength was in R&B ballads led by
Oak Joo Hyun's vocals; this was shown by their first single, the title
song from the album. Fin.K.L's next hit "내 남자친구에게" ("To My Boyfriend") was a more typical pop song and followed popular conventions at the time. (Yuki Hsu,
a Taiwanese singer, sang a remake version of "To My Boyfriend" not long
after the song's success in Korea.) They capped off their first album
activities with a third single, "Ruby", which was a ballad about a lost
love, and giving that love up for the good of everyone involved. The
group also created a music video for a fourth single (which was
eventually just left as a video and not promoted). Credits: Wikipedia Details: Coming Soon!
