Kim Tae-woo
In 1997 Ahn was recruited by his cousin Joon for a project group he was forming. Between 1997 and 1998, Son, Yoon Kye-sang and Kim Sun-a were recruited through auditions while Park Jin-young joined the group as their producer and mentor. However, Kim Sun-a left to pursue acting and was replaced with Kim Tae-woo, then still a high school student. The group eventually became a five-man boy band and named g.o.d, short for "Groove Over Dose".
