News of singer Kim Gun-mo's potential comeback is circulating, igniting fervent fan interest.

Following recent updates on his whereabouts shared via broadcaster Jung Joon-ha's YouTube channel, jazz pianist Yang Tae-kyung also revealed a meeting with Kim Gun-mo, further bolstering speculation about his return.

Yang Tae-kyung shared on his social media on the 18th, "I coincidentally ran into Kim Gun-mo hyungnim at the rehearsal room, and he kindly approached me first for a handshake, saying 'I'm enjoying your YouTube content.'" He added, "He is a wonderful senior who covered my mistake with his singing during 'Open Concert' over ten years ago. Although he's been through some difficult times, I'm so happy to hear he's breaking his hiatus to return to the stage. He is always so gentle, and his smile is the most charismatic," expressing his support with affection.

Previously, in July, a clip from Jung Joon-ha's personal channel showed him expressing surprise upon learning that an expensive, limited-edition folding bicycle he encountered at a shop was famously known as "Kim Gun-mo's bicycle." This particular model was a limited production run of 191 units worldwide, priced at 17 million KRW.

These successive sightings and testimonials have served as the first signal to fans regarding Kim Gun-mo's current situation, with expectations soaring. Online comments are buzzing with reactions like, "I'm so moved by the news of his comeback stage finally happening," "I spent my school days listening to Gun-mo oppa's songs, and I'm thrilled to see him on stage again," and "I'll pre-book tickets as soon as tour dates are announced."

Kim Gun-mo married pianist Jang Ji-yeon in 2020 but announced their divorce after 2 years and 8 months, leading to a period of quiet personal time. Attention is now focused on how his return will unfold.

Kim Gun-mo debuted in 1992 and quickly became a national singing sensation in the 90s with mega-hits like 'Pinggyeo' and 'Jalmotdoen Mannam.' His unique vocal color and musical style resonated with a vast audience, earning him the title of 'National Singer.' The recent news of his potential return after a hiatus is drawing significant attention from both the music industry and the public.
