Debuting 20 years ago and miraculously reuniting, the "legendary vocal group" SeeYa (Nam Gyu-ri, Kim Yeon-ji, Lee Bo-ram) moved listeners to tears with an overwhelming live performance during their first live broadcast in 15 years.
SeeYa appeared as a complete group on SBS PowerFM's 'Escape at Two Cultwo Show' broadcast on the 2nd, showcasing their unfaded banter and unfaded live stage.
Regarding choosing 'Cultwo Show' for their first full-group live broadcast in 15 years, SeeYa said they were delighted, noting, "Cultwo Show's invitation was the fastest, and we were so happy when the invitation came."
In response, DJ Kim Tae Kyun warmly welcomed them, saying, "SeeYa debuted on SBS' Inkigayo' in the past, so it's meaningful that their first broadcast after the comeback is also SBS' 'Cultwo Show.'"
When SeeYa performed their mega-hit 'Salangui Insa' live as the opening, the reaction from the studio and listeners was truly fervent.
Kim Tae Kyun marveled, "Was there a gap? It suddenly felt like riding a time machine back," and special DJ Kwak Beom also shared an emotional impression, saying, "They debuted in March 2006 and then enlisted in August that year, so I heard them a lot in the military. Hearing the live performance brought tears to my eyes."
Listeners also poured out heartfelt reactions such as, "I cried from the moment the intro started," "I'm sobbing as soon as I heard the intro," "Is what I see real? It's not AI, right?", and "How did the unnis not age?"
Reflecting the intense buzz, SeeYa also dominated real-time searches on Melon, the country's largest music site, during the broadcast.
Next, SeeYa's live performance of their new song in 15 years, "Nevertheless, we," unfolded.
After watching the performance, Kim Tae Kyun said, "All of SeeYa's narrative up to now is contained in this song. It's worth sobbing," conveying a deep lingering impression.
Listeners also went wild, saying, "Please keep active until SeeYa's dinner concert," and "There haven't been songs to sing at karaoke lately, but I'll rush to karaoke to sing 'Nevertheless, we.'"
SeeYa's touching behind-the-scenes story that broke their 15-year hiatus was also revealed. On the new song's recording behind-the-scenes, Nam Gyu-ri said, "While recording together, emotions I had forgotten suddenly welled up. The members are still really good as before, but you could feel the time we've endured," and added, "I think we could come together again because each of us lived earnestly and diligently," expressing her feelings about the reunion.
Past debut-era 'spicy' episodes also brought big laughs to listeners. Stories that they originally prepared to debut as an anonymous singer called the 'female SG Wannabe' but ended up debuting without makeup as a 'singer with a face' just two weeks after Nam Gyu-ri joined; the story of ranking first by singing the male vocal demo song 'Crazy Love Song' with SeeYa's own sensibility; and anecdotes about preparing a dance version in just two days and bringing it to the stage were revealed, adding interest.
Nam Gyu-ri said, "I'm so sorry for making so many people wait. We returned in time for our 20th anniversary by working hard and joining forces, so we'll repay you with good music such as the full-length album we're preparing in May," and Kim Yeon-ji also promised fans her heartfelt gratitude, saying, "Thank you so much for waiting. I'll repay you with good songs in the future."
Meanwhile, having conquered both music charts and topicality and fired the starting shot for a successful comeback, SeeYa plans to continue the activity of the "legendary vocal group" by releasing a full-length album as a complete group in May.
