TURBO

TURBO debuted on July 1, 1995, with the release of its first full-length album, 280km/h Speed, and its debut song was "My Childhood Dream." With fast, upbeat dance songs, the group became very popular in the 1990s Korean music scene.

TURBO's members are Kim Jung-nam, Kim Jong-kook and Mikey. The group started as a duo of Kim Jong-kook and Kim Jung-nam, and Mikey joined in 1997. When TURBO reunited in 2015, all three members performed together on stage, delighting longtime fans.

Widely known TURBO songs include "Love Is... (3+3=0)" (1996), "Twist King" (1996), "December" (1997) and the reunion song "Again" (2015). With a mix of upbeat dance tracks and more emotional songs, they make a good set to listen to together.

To mark the group's 20th anniversary, the three members came back together in December 2015 and released their sixth full-length album, AGAIN. Yoo Jae-suk took part in the title track "Again." The reunion reintroduced TURBO's music to longtime fans and a new generation alike.

TURBO released six full-length albums: 280km/h Speed (1995), New Sensation (1996), Born Again (1997), Perfect Love (1998), E-Mail My Heart (2000) and AGAIN (2015). In 2017, the group also released the mini album TURBO SPLASH. Listening through the albums in order shows how the group's sound developed across two decades.

TURBO's music centers on fast, upbeat dance pop. Alongside the energetic tracks, story-driven songs such as "December" were also well loved. If you want to feel the mood of 1990s Korean dance music, listening to TURBO's songs in the order they were released is a great way to do it.

TURBO won bonsang awards at the Golden Disc Awards in 1996, 1997, 1998 and 2000, and received bonsang awards several times at the Seoul Music Awards as well. These awards show how steadily the group was loved in the late 1990s. Check each ceremony's records for details.

TURBO disbanded in 2001, then reunited as a trio and was active from December 2015 to December 2018. There has been no separate news of group activities since then, so the group can be considered on a break. For any new information, check the notices on official channels.

Start with the widely known songs "Twist King" and "Love Is... (3+3=0)," then move on to "December." After that, the debut song "My Childhood Dream" and the reunion song "Again" let you compare the group's music at its start and twenty years later.

Since TURBO is taking a break from group activities, the most accurate way to follow the members is through each member's own official channels. Each member works in a different field, so rely on official announcements. Please avoid spreading unconfirmed rumors or following their private lives.
