Forestella's Comeback on Immortal Songs Will Give You Goosebumps - Here's What Went Down

Forestella's Epic Return - Not Your Average K-pop Comeback If you thought K-pop was all about flashy idols and high-pitched bops, Forestella is here to flip the script. The crossover vocal group - Bae Doohoon, Kang Hyungho, Cho Mingyu, and Ko Woorim - just made a jaw-dropping return on KBS2's Immortal Songs, and trust me, it's the kind of comeback that'll make you wish you had front-row tickets. After almost two years, Forestella performed as a full group again, and their stage was nothing short of legendary. For the 2025 King of Kings special, they picked Lady Gaga's "Abracadabra" and turned it into a magical, cinematic moment. Imagine the drama of a Bollywood dance-off, but with four powerhouse vocalists and world-class choreography. The Stage That Broke the Internet - Lady Gaga, Leather Coats, and Next-Level Choreo Forestella didn't just sing - they owned the stage. Styled in burgundy leather coats (seriously, someone call Manish Malhotra for a collab), they teamed up with 1MILLION Dance Studio and the iconic Lia Kim for choreography that looked straight out of a Lady Gaga music video. Their harmonies hit like a monsoon after a Delhi summer, and the dancers moved so perfectly in sync with the group's gestures, it felt like watching a wizard casting spells. The energy? Pure goosebumps. If you've ever seen a K-pop group and thought, "Why can't we have this at our college fest?" - this is that level, but with even more drama. What's Next - New Songs, Solo Concerts, and a Tour That's Making Us Jealous Forestella isn't stopping with just one epic stage. During a backstage chat with MC Shin Dongyeop, they spilled that a new song is dropping soon, and they're about to kick off a solo concert tour. The Seoul show is set for July 26-27 at Jangchung Arena, followed by stops in Busan (BEXCO) and Daegu (EXCO). For reference, ticket prices for these kinds of concerts can go from ₹5,000 up to ₹15,000 or more - which, let's be honest, is less than what you'd pay for a BTS show, but the vibe is just as intense.

Why do South Korean celebrities reveal divorces years later, despite shifting social views?

More South Korean celebrities are speaking openly about their divorces, but many still wait years before making their break-ups public. Even as social perceptions around divorce have changed, stars remain cautious for a variety of personal and professional reasons. Advertisement Singer Park Ki-young recently made headlines for revealing her second divorce – years after it happened. She first married a lawyer in 2010 but divorced in 2015. In 2017, she married a tango dancer and choreographer she met on KBS2's Immortal Songs, but the couple separated in 2022. The news was only shared three years later. Lee Won-seok, lead vocalist of Daybreak, also delayed his announcement. He married a non-celebrity in 2011 but divorced in 2021. It wasn't until April 2023 that he posted the news on his blog, 'In 2021, I experienced two major goodbyes and found myself alone again.' Former MBC presenter Son Jung-eun disclosed her divorce on KBS Joy's Ask Us Anything Fortune Teller in January. She said, 'There were big changes in my life. My father passed away six years ago, and being an only child, it was very difficult. The following year, I separated from my husband.' She had previously announced her marriage to a businessman in 2011. Public attitudes toward divorce have significantly shifted. Celebrities who are divorcees now speak more openly about their experiences on television. Actor Hwang Jung-eum addressed her divorce on SBS Plus and E Channel's dating reality show Because I'm Solo. SBS's Dolsing Fourmen centres on divorced male celebrities like Lee Sang-min and Lim Won-hee. MBN's Love After Divorce featured broadcaster Park Chang-hyun and Redsox member Noh Jung-myung, garnering attention. Celebrities are more free to talk about divorce now, but once it's revealed, online sleuths start speculating who was at fault Ha Jae-geun, pop culture critic Divorce is no longer seen as a major blemish for stars. After Son's appearance on Ask Us Anything Fortune Teller, public support poured in. Television personality Seo Jang-hoon said, 'Most people didn't know she had divorced, so she received more messages after the show than she did when she became an anchor.'
