NRG (South Korean band)

NRG, acronym for New Radiancy Group (Hangul: 엔알지), was a South Korean pop music group. Originally a five-member boy band consisting of Chun Myung-hoon, Lee Sung-jin, Noh Yoo-min, Moon Sung-hoon, and Kim Hwan-sung, NRG debuted in 1997 to instant success with their first two albums New Radiancy Group and Race. After members Myunghoon and Sungjin departed the group in 1999, the group released their third album, NRG 003, which struggled in popularity after the group's lineup changes. Member Hwansung died on June 15, 2000, which led Myunghoon and Sungjin to return to the group, and to the creation of the group's 4th album Sorrow in 2001.
