U-KISS’ 15 years in the industry
Initially, a six-member group, U-KISS made its debut in 2008. Four more members: Hoon, Jun, AJ, and Kiseop were added to the group later on.
Throughout their career, the group released numerous hits including “330,”“Neverland,” and “Believe.”
Since then, U-KISS has undergone multiple lineup changes with a number of members leaving the group. Among them are members Shin Dong-Ho, Kevin, Lee Jun Young, and Kibum who are no longer with the band.
After the groups’ contract with their previous agency NH EMG ended in 2021, members Soohyun, Kiseop, and Hoon joined Tango Music. In 2022, they started promoting as a 3-member group.
In June 2023, Alexander, Eli, and AJ, who also left, rejoined the group to celebrate their 15th debut anniversary. The now six-member group released the special mini album Play List with the title tracks “Party Tonight” and “The Wonderful Escape. Said album was the group’s first release in five and a half years.
Additionally, U-KISS also held their successful Japan concerts in July.
With the members together again in one agency, fans are thrilled to see the group’s continued promotions in the future.
