g.o.d., also known as Groove Over Dose, is a legendary five-member K-pop boy group that burst onto the scene on January 13, 1999 with their debut studio album, Chapter 1, under the label SidusHQ. The group's formation was the brainchild of Park Joon-hyung, who envisioned a music group that seamlessly blended Western and Asian influences. After recruiting his cousin Danny Ahn and friend Son Ho-Young, Yoon Kyesang and Kim Tae-woo later joined through auditions.
Despite facing initial financial difficulties due to the 1997 Asian financial crisis, g.o.d. persevered and caught the attention of singer-songwriter and JYP Entertainment founder Park Jin-Young, who became their producer and mentor. After overcoming challenges like a potential disbandment in 2001 and changes in lineup, g.o.d. continued to capture the hearts of fans with their soulful music.
In 2004, Yoon Kyesang parted ways with the group, but g.o.d. continued to make music and entertain audiences under JYP Entertainment until their hiatus in 2006. Despite rumors of disbandment, the members assured fans that they would reunite. True to their word, g.o.d. made a grand comeback in 2014 with their 15th-anniversary concert and the release of their album Chapter 8, marking the end of their hiatus.
The group's reunion was met with widespread excitement and media coverage, solidifying their status as one of the most iconic K-pop groups in the industry. With their unique sound and unwavering bond, g.o.d. continues to enchant fans around the world with their music and performances.
