As the fifth generation of K-pop idols is set to debut in 2023, fans are delighted to catch a glimpse of their favorite first and second-generation idols' recent activities.

H.O.T., who debuted in 1996 with their first album 'We Hate All Kinds Of Violence', recently had a full-member reunion to celebrate their 27th anniversary. On May 7th, H.O.T.'s youngest member, Lee Jae-won, shared a couple of selfies with Kangta, Moon Hee-jun, Jang Woo-hyuk, and Tony An on his personal SNS, writing, "I apologize, but sharing these photos is like giving fish to a cat."

The members were captured enjoying a meal and drinks at a restaurant, showcasing their timeless visuals and enduring friendship. As H.O.T. celebrates their 27th anniversary this year, fans' expectations for a full-member comeback are higher than ever.

Big Bang and 2NE1 are considered the leading representatives of the second-generation K-pop idols. They recently delighted K-pop fans worldwide by attending Se7en and Lee Da-hae's wedding. On May 7th, 2NE1's leader, CL, shared several selfies with fellow YG Entertainment artists on her personal SNS, captioning it, "+Family matter Family matters+ Congratulations on your wedding, brother. Love you."

The photos featured Jinusean, Song Baek-kyung of 1TYM, Big Bang's G-Dragon, Daesung, Taeyang, 2NE1's CL, Gong Minzy, Sandara Park, Lee Soo-hyuk, and Gummy, all wearing name tags and smiling brightly. Although most of these artists have since left YG Entertainment, they continue to maintain their strong YG family bond.

Fans of both Big Bang and 2NE1 eagerly await the possibility of full-member comebacks. In a recent listening session for his solo album, Taeyang mentioned Big Bang's comeback, saying, "A Big Bang comeback is something I dream of and think about. I believe that as we continue to work hard, we will meet at the right time. I think the other members share the same thoughts."

2NE1 also demonstrated the potential for a full-member comeback when they performed together at the 'Coachella Festival' in California in April last year, their first performance as a complete group in seven years since their disbandment.
