[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Seul-gi] Geumbi, the vocalist of the co-ed group Geobuki, revealed the reason for returning to the stage after 8 years.

On the 9th, MBC's 'King of Mask Singer' aired a competition between masked singers challenging the reigning champion 'Nangrang 18-se'.

In the broadcast, Geumbi wore a toothpaste mask and competed in the first round. After removing the mask and revealing her identity, Geumbi expressed, "It's my first time on stage in 8 years."

Geumbi said, "There were various reasons for the 8-year hiatus. I wanted to avoid reality and was afraid of everything," adding, "I decided to leave the stage, but as time passed, I missed it again."

MC Kim Sung-joo said, "Im Seong-hoon, the leader of 'Geobuki,' suddenly passed away, and they went through a difficult time of separation and absence. Although 8 years have passed to gather their heart, please give lots of support to Geumbi, who has found new courage."

The co-ed group Geobuki, which debuted in 2001, disbanded after the death of 'Turtleman' Im Seong-hoon in 2008. Im Seong-hoon’s sudden death from acute myocardial infarction shocked many.
