TURBO, a South Korean music group renowned for pioneering the wave of energetic dance-pop in the 90s, established themselves as icons in the Korean music industry. The group, originally a duo, was formed in 1995 by Kim Jong-kook, known for his soulful vocals, and rapper Kim Jung-nam. They made their debut under the management of producer Kim Jung-woo which quickly escalated their popularity with hits like "Black Cat Nero." TURBO's music is characterized by its fast-tempo beats and catchy hooks, which earned them the nickname "dance music's legends" in South Korea.

After a brief period of disbandment in the early 2000s, TURBO made a long-awaited comeback as a trio in 2015, adding Mikey (Jo Myeong-ik) to the lineup after originally joining in 1997. They've since revitalized their sound while staying true to their dance music roots, as evidenced in their more recent releases such as "AGAIN" which caters to both long-time fans and a new generation. With albums like "Turbo - Reboot: The Best" and celebratory projects like "터보 HISTORY," TURBO has continued to pay homage to their legacy while also pushing the envelope of what dance music can be. The various remixes and compilations, such as "TURBO SPLASH" and "MILLENNIUM DANCE MEGAMIX," showcase how their music has evolved while still rocking the energetic and vivacious spirit that initially catapulted them to fame.
