Three NRG members reunite to sing hit song without Lee Sung-jin

Noh Yoo-min, Chun Myung-hoon, and Moon Sung-hoon gathered on the 24th to sing "Making Love," though the absence of Lee Sung-jin drew attention following his 2021 claims of being bullied within the group.

The hit songs of the group NRG have echoed once again. While Noh Yoo-min, Chun Myung-hoon, and Moon Sung-hoon gathered in one place to sing "Making Love" and evoke memories, attention was drawn to the absence of Lee Sung-jin, who previously claimed to have been bullied within the team. While the welcome reunion added a sense of emotion, the atmosphere also brings past discord controversies back to light.

On the 24th, Noh Yoo-min released photos and videos on his social media with the caption, "I'm so glad everyone is in good condition. All three of us, fighting today." The video captures Noh Yoo-min, Chun Myung-hoon, and Moon Sung-hoon standing side by side singing "Making Love," one of NRG's representative songs. Despite the passage of time, the familiar melody and the harmony of the three members evoked their heyday.

The three members wore matching black outfits and created a joyful atmosphere while holding microphones. As Noh Yoo-min, wearing sunglasses, began the song, Chun Myung-hoon and Moon Sung-hoon naturally joined in. Many fans are expected to feel joy watching the members who shared the glorious idol heyday singing their hit song again.

Noh Yoo-min personally added his impression, saying, "Making Love (Was this song always this good?)" It was a reaction as if the song, performed again after a long time, felt new to him as well. The short meeting of the three left a meaning beyond a simple song video. For those who remember NRG's music, it was a moment to revive memories, but it was also a scene that prompted reflection on the current relationship between the members.

The absence of Lee Sung-jin particularly drew attention during this gathering. While NRG received great love during their activities with songs such as "You Can Do It," "Hit Song," and "Making Love," they later became embroiled in controversy as conflicts between members surfaced. As the appearance of the three members together was revealed, memories of past discord surfaced again. However, no reason for Lee Sung-jin's absence from this meeting or any separate position has been disclosed.

In 2021, Lee Sung-jin appeared on the YouTube channel "Aedong Shrine" by "Bezzangi Entertainment" and claimed he was bullied during his NRG activities. He confessed to the conflict with the members, stating, "There were bad things with the team members. I was somewhat bullied." His remarks suggested that his relationship with the colleagues he once shared the stage with was not smooth.

At that time, Chun Myung-hoon and Noh Yoo-min's side refuted Lee Sung-jin's claims as groundless. Noh Yoo-min even released messages exchanged with Lee Sung-jin, and because the positions of both sides clashed, the controversy did not easily subside. As the perspectives of the parties involved regarding the bullying allegations differed, it is difficult to conclude the reality of the past conflict or the current relationship solely from this reunion of the three members. However, as the scene of the three singing together without Lee Sung-jin was released, interest surrounding NRG's past and present is growing again.

NRG debuted in 1997 and dominated the music scene in the late 1990s and early 2000s with unique performances and addictive songs. Member Moon Sung-hoon held his wedding this past May, two years after remarrying, and Noh Yoo-min and Chun Myung-hoon attended, showing their long-standing connection. While the three gathering together again to sing a representative song provided welcome memories, Lee Sung-jin's absence left another lingering feeling for fans who have been waiting for a full group appearance.
