Iconic first-gen idol band Click-B is storming back onto variety as a full seven-member lineup for the first time in 11 years — and they’re dropping bombshell updates along with the real reason their reunion took so long.
On the July 10 premiere of KBS2’s variety show Happy Together - It’s Nice Not To Be Alone, Click-B appears with all members present. In a pre-release clip, every member — Jong-hyuk Oh, Sang-hyuk Kim, Ho-seok Yoo, Tae-hyung Kim, Yeon-seok Woo, Hyun-gon Ha, and Min-hyuk Noh — steps into the studio together.
Host Jae-suk Yoo, seeing Click-B, exclaimed, "How long has it been?" Former label senior Hyori Lee added, "What is this? How do you look exactly the same?" When the members said, "We’re all over 40 now," Lee praised their ageless visuals: "You really took great care of yourselves. You haven’t gained any weight at all."
The members also shared life updates. Tae-hyung Kim revealed he’s active as a musical theater actor, while Ho-seok Yoo said he’s now a father of two. Min-hyuk Noh introduced himself as the CEO of a pet supplements business. Jae-suk Yoo remarked, "Everyone’s been busy — running businesses and popping up on shows — but seeing all seven together is truly surprising."
Amid the warm mood, Jong-hyuk Oh directly addressed why the full-group reunion was delayed. He admitted, "There’s a reason we’re gathering after 11 years. This guy and I — Min-hyuk Noh and I — weren’t seeing each other," shocking everyone on set. Caught off guard by the blunt confession, Ho-seok Yoo asked, "How honest are you planning to get?" Hyori Lee kept things moving, saying, "It happens." Oh continued, "Our values and directions were just too different, so there was conflict," acknowledging past friction among the members.
Debuting in 1999, Click-B is a beloved first-generation idol band with multiple hits. Due to military service and solo activities, their full-group promotions became rare. After a 2015 reunion, they went on another lengthy hiatus.
Happy Together - It’s Nice Not To Be Alone featuring Click-B airs July 10 at 8:30 p.m. KST on KBS2.
