H.O.T gives people a feeling of non-mainstream ancestors in their memories. The first reason is that because of their exaggerated head shape, it has become the standard for to wash, cut and blow for a long time in the future. After "improving" this shape, a "peacock opening screen" like appearance was added at the back. The second reason is that at that time, there were many villages and towns with personality that said "H.O.T" or "Meteor Garden" on the clothes. The third reason is that there will be advertisements of "Korean Wave" at the entrance of video stores in some small and medium-sized cities.
It is undeniable that H.O.T has become one of the biggest players in the Korean entertainment industry to impact the world, and H.O.T has also changed the popular elements in many parts of Asia. From Korean dramas and some variety shows, we can clearly feel the early Korean people's admiration for Hong Kong stars. Andy Lau and Jackie Chan drove them crazy, the power of Hong Kong style was really brilliant at that time. But then, South Korea and Japan became more and more powerful. Japan's Kyoko Fukada , Hamasaki Ayumi , began to be known to us after Noriko Sakai , and South Korea, Kim Hee Sun and H.O.T even occupied the magazine covers of boys and girls at that time.
Actually, I haven't seen or heard H.O.T's music, sometimes I just glanced at the TV screen, except for , An Qixuan, and , I can't name anyone else. Name, I was hesitating whether to marry Stefanie Sun or Xiao Yaxuan in the future. But why write H.O.T today? That's because their sense of the era's identity is too strong, but when Korean film and television and music variety shows are very mature, they can no longer hear the name of this group. Go nostalgic and see how those five boys with exaggerated head shapes are doing now.
I only know An Qixuan, so I found An Qixuan's information first. The group disbanded in 2001, and An Qixuan began to develop his acting career; in 2003, he formed the S group with Shen Huixing, and Li Zhixun, and released the album "Fr. In. Cl.". In 2005, An Qixuan was promoted by Korea SM Entertainment Co., Ltd. , and awarded him as a director and shareholder of the company. Hey... I don't know why, but the two letters SM give people a different feeling. In 2006, he formed the group "KANGTA & Vanness" with Wu Jianhao and released the album "Scandal". On April 1, 2008, An Qixuan suspended his acting career and began to enlist in the army for training and education.
On February 19, 2010, An Qixuan finished his military service. In 2013, he served as the mentor of the second season of "The Voice of Korea"; in February 2020, SM confirmed that KANGTA An Qixuan and Zheng Rumei were in love, but soon An Qixuan denied the relationship, and then it was revealed that he was entangled with Han Jiaen and Zheng Rumei. In Qing Dynasty, another female anchor, Wu Jingyan, came out. Anyway, until now, his relationship is still quite bloody. In January 2022, South Korean singer An Qixuan will release his solo single "Slow Dance". "Slow Dance" is the last song of An Qixuan's special plan for the 25th anniversary of his debut. It will be released simultaneously through major domestic and foreign music platforms on the 12th of this month. .
Not to mention other music works and entertainment activities, An Qixuan has always been very active, and it seems that he has never disappeared from the entertainment circle, but was overshadowed by the light of newcomers. It is worth mentioning that An Qixuan also participated in the recording of the Spring Festival Gala of Tianjin Satellite TV in 2012. If you are interested, you can check it online.
The second said Moon Hee Jun , after H.O.T announced the disbandment, Moon Hee Jun insisted on his own musical path and developed his own musical style. In October of the same year, he released his first solo album "Alone". After Moon Hee Jun retired, he moved into the field of all-round music producers. At the beginning of 2013, the latest album was released. The album abandoned Wen Xijun's consistent rock style and changed it to electronic music and dance. On November 24, 2016, Moon Hee Jun announced his marriage, and the bride is a member of Crayon Pop—— Zhaoyu . On February 12, 2017, the two held a private wedding at a hotel in Seoul. On May 12, Moon Hee-joon's wife So-yul gave birth to a daughter. In September 2022, the news of the birth of the second child was announced. Wen Xijun is often ridiculed by Korean netizens, because he is fat, and because he endorses local school uniforms. But from the perspective of the general direction of life, as the captain of H.O.T, what he controls is quite mature.
Check out Lee Jae Won , his youngest member in H.O.T. After the group disbanded, compared to other H.O.T members, it was very low-key, and except for studying in Japan, the frequency of appearances was not high. The main music route is HIP-HOP. Representative works include "Descendants of the Warrior", "Wolf and Sheep", "Light", "Enter The Dragon" and so on. In 2015, Lee Jae-won was diagnosed with thyroid cancer . Fortunately, the cancer was detected in the early stage, and there was no serious problem, and he has been concentrating on treatment. In 2017, Li Zaiyuan recovered from his illness, but his career development has been mediocre. There are many negative news about Lee Jae-won, rape, sexual violence, detention, etc. I think these negative news and physical condition are the reasons why his career is hindered now.
Let's talk about Zhang Youhe , he formed JTL with An Shenghao and Li Zaiyuan after the group disbanded. On September 13, 2005, he released his first solo album "No More Drama" and won the Best Popular Singer Award at the 20th Golden Disc Awards. On October 24, 2006, the second solo album "My Way" was released. In October 2010, Zhang Youhe won the Beauty Hallyu Superstar Award at the first Beauty Design Award ceremony; in December, he won the Most Popular Overseas Artist Award in the 8th Southeast Music Hot List. In May 2011, Jang Woo Hyuk debuted as a producer and released his third mini-album "I Am The Future". In March 2012, starred in the network drama " Secret Angel ". In August 2014, he starred in the Chinese mainland TV series "Daughter-in-law Nanny"; on November 21, he starred in the Chinese comedy love movie " Fiji 99°C Love ". In 2016, he starred in the youth inspirational comedy " pretending to be invisible film master ".
This year, Zhang Youhe was involved in a storm. Two female employees revealed that they had been abused and beaten by the boss who was the idol of Yuanzu. A large number of Korean netizens quickly pinpointed that the idol of Yuanzu was Zhang Youhe, who was born in HOT. This incident has a great impact in South Korea. Zhang Youhe first came forward to apologize, and later sued the two female employees for defamation , which made Zhang Youhe's reputation plummet.
then said An Shenghao, he and two other members formed a new group JTL. In 2005, he released the album "Behind the Clouds", and later enlisted in the military, serving as a host of several Korean National Army radio shows during his military service. In the next few years, An Shenghao also released some albums and hosted some variety shows, but it was obvious that the popularity continued to decline.
Six years later, Ahn Seung-ho attended H.O.T's 3-day concert "2019 High-five Of Teenagers" at the Gocheok Dome in Seoul, and then acted as the host of the variety show "Shopping King". " days. At the beginning of this year, An Shenghao revealed that he has been plagued by insomnia for the past 20 years, and he is also working hard to treat low back pain. It seems that the person who is not in good health is not only Li Zaiyuan.
finally said... Huh? All five of them seem to be there.
"H.O.T. will not end, H.O.T will see you again", fans have been silently looking forward to the day of the reorganization. Finally, in February 2018, 17 years after disbanding, H.O.T reunited and held a concert! At the concert, one by one has grown up. It's been five years now, and the members of H.O.T are all facing their own problems. But in any case, they have represented the representatives of Asian entertainment to impact the world, and they are the mark of the times.
