The reunion performance featured all five original members: Kim E-Z, Lee Hee Jin, Shim Eun Jin, Kan Mi Youn, and Yoon Eun Hye. Their powerful vocals, stunning visuals, and impressive dance skills rekindled the magic that first captured audiences when the group debuted in 1997.
Fans were quick to express their admiration online, with one commenting on X (formerly Twitter), “Everyone has the same beauty and skills.”Another added, “Honestly, Baby V.O.X’s skills and visuals are the best. Their self-management is also amazing. They are really cool!”
This performance not only thrilled fans but also effectively dispelled long-standing rumors of discord that had emerged following their disbandment in 2006. Speculation surrounding tension within the group increased after Yoon Eun Hye’s notable absence from various post-disbandment projects, including appearances on shows like Sister’s Salon and Dolsing Fourmen.
While the other members maintained that there was no animosity, reports from Sports Chosun indicated that Yoon’s absence fueled rumors of a rift within the group. However, their recent live performance as a fully reunited ensemble silenced these speculations.
