After the dissolution of the original boy band H.O.T.: some people are pasted and pasted, and some people have long since withdrawn from the circle... 1. Wen Xijun: forced to quit the circle due to unmarried pregnancy 2.An Qixuan: active career, but deeply involved in the "split leg" doubt cloud 3.Zhang Youhe: a generation of "dance kings" quietly fell 4.An Shenghao: harvested fans with his voice, tepid after the transformation 5.Lee Jae-won: no sense of existence, caught in a sex Q scandal

As the "originator" of Korean boy bands, H.O.T was once as popular as any group, and was even once named "the myth of the Korean music scene".

It is said that this boy band has been received by the President of South Korea three times, and has spread Korean music throughout Southeast Asia, making outstanding contributions to their cultural export.

Even the myths that have been launched in the future, the Oriental Shenqi, Han Geng's Super Junior, BigBang, etc., are not as high as H.O.T. in the music world.

Some fans even said bluntly: "Since they disbanded, the throne of the king who stands at the top of the music scene has since been suspended, and no one can sit on it anymore." ”

However, it was such a existence that ended abruptly in 2001, because of the contract and other issues, the five members of the group flew alone.

After that, the five people took different paths: some people continued to hit the "top stream", some people were confused again and again, and some people directly retreated from the circle...

Let's give you a brief introduction to what H.O.T is.

It is a men's group launched by South Korean SM Brokerage in 1996 and consists of five members: Moon Hee-joon, Jang Yoo Hyuk, Tony An, Kang Ta and Lee Jae-won.

It is not easy for five people to get together, an Qixuan has been a trainee in the company since his student days;

Moon Hee-joon is discovered for performing dancing at school and enters SM at the same time as Ahn Chi Hyun;

Jang You-hyuk was selected in the SM Dance Audition Contest in his junior year of high school;

Ahn Seung-ho, who settled in the United States, saw the company's overseas recruitment notices and returned to South Korea after graduating from high school to start training;

The youngest, Lee Jae-won, was introduced by Moon Hee-joon's friend and joined the group through an interview.

After the five of them got together, they began a training camp for more than half a year, and finally made their official debut in 1996, when their oldest was 18 years old, and Lee Jae-won was only 16 years old.

Their debut album was called We Hate All Kinds Of Violence, which translates to "We Hate All Kinds of Violence."

However, the most popular song of the album is not the song "Descendants of the Warrior", but "CANDY (Candy)" has become the "favorite" of many fans.

Some people say that "CANDY" became the point where they took off, and since then they have been on the road to glory, oh yes, this album has sold more than 1 million copies.

The following year, they released their second album, Wolf & Sheep, which won all the awards in South Korea that could be named.

After that, H.O.T became popular in Southeast Asia, and some people commented: "The word Hallyu began to be created by H.O.T., and everyone was on the way to chasing H.O.T...."

Some people also say that the reason why they can reach the height of almost "myth" is because they have achieved humanistic care that Aidou cannot do, and they have always been worthy of their group name: High-five of Teenagers (five energetic teenagers).

Yes, in 1999, they released their fourth album, I Yah, the title song for children who unfortunately lost their lives in the fire.

In 2000, they came to Beijing and gave their only concert in China, and many fans were introduced to Korean culture from their earliest experience.

Their stage is also very good, compared to many teams with someone responsible for singing or raping, and every member of H.O.T. is a "contestant" who is good at singing and dancing.

So every one of them has a different type of fan.

Even in 2021, the group's album sales are far ahead of the local charts in South Korea, and the sales of two albums have not been shaken so far.

But it all stopped in May 2001.

In May of that year, H.O.T. announced its dissolution on the grounds that Tony, Jang Yoo Hyuk and Lee Jae-won, who were facing contract problems, decided not to renew their contract with SM.

SM only signed Moon Hee-joon and Ahn Chi-hyun, who belonged to singer-songwriters, and the other three had to leave.

Moreover, at that time, SM focused on the myth, the BOA, and the new batch of trainees, so the "myth" of H.O.T was shattered.

Since then, the five members of the group have also embarked on different development paths.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="34" >1</h1>

As the captain of H.O.T., Moon Hee-joon is characterized by excellent explosiveness and extraordinary talent, which can drive the atmosphere in any situation.

Since the dissolution of the group, he has been active and released his solo album ALONE in the same year, which also won some awards.

Subsequently, he released several albums one after another, and the results became less and less satisfactory, but the concert response was still relatively good.

Since 2008, Wen Xijun has been involved in variety shows, and has successively participated in "God Eater Expedition 2", "20th Century Beautiful Teenager", "Unaged Communications - Yin Xi Consultative Office", "Wen Xijun's Purity 15 Years Old" and so on.

Subsequently, he also participated in the filming of film and television dramas, making cameo appearances in "Tae Hee Hye Joo Ji Hyun" and "Please Answer 1997", but later he did not insist on taking this road.

In 2016, Moon Hee-joon released his 20th anniversary album MOON HEE JUN 20TH ANNIVERSARY, and chose to enter into marriage with his girlfriend of two years, Crayon Pop member Zhaoyi.

On the wedding day, in addition to Jang You-hyuk, other members of H.O.T were all present, which also triggered speculation among fans.

Three months after the marriage, Cho-hyun successfully gave birth to a daughter, once again making Moon Hee-joon the target of attack, it is said that the largest fan forum in South Korea at that time voted to vote for him as the champion of the "love to hate" list, mainly because he concealed the unmarried pregnancy of fans.

After that, Wen Xijun had a great sense of retirement, and almost did not carry out public activities.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="169" >2.An Qixuan: Active career, but deeply involved in the "leg splitting" cloud</h1>

An Qixuan is the face value of H.O.T. and was once very popular with fans.

After the dissolution of the group, he also began his own acting career, releasing his debut album "Polaris Wish" in September of the same year.

Two years later, he formed a group with Shin and Lee Ji-hoon and released the album Fr. In. Cl., probably the response was not good, and the combination quickly turned yellow.

However, in the following year, he was promoted to director and shareholder by SM Brokerage, and his "career" was good.

By 2006, he had focused his acting career in China, and had teamed up with Wu Jianhao to form the "Kangta &amp; Vanness" group, which had also released albums, which later disappeared with his enlistment.

In 2011, after completing his military service, he participated in the Chinese-Korean family light comedy "Pepper and Kimchi", and also played the emperor in the costume TV series "Dijin".

However, although the resources are good, he is also tepid.

Three years later, he returned to S and began to create the pinnacle of creation: all the song sources for his successive mini-album Autumn Breeze were written by him.

Although he has always maintained the consciousness of the first generation of top-notch, An Qixuan has never taken the initiative to disclose any relationship, but he fell into a scandal with a number of Korean actresses in 2019, suspected of being a "leg-splitting habitual offender".

In February last year, SM responded to a scandal about him, saying: "An Qixuan and Zheng Roumei are in a relationship with good feelings", which can slightly save some of his popularity.

At present, An Qixuan is still active in the entertainment industry, and has launched digital singles in January and March this year.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="192" >3.Zhang Youhe: A generation of "dance kings" quietly fell</h1>

Jang Yoo Hyuk dances very well, otherwise he wouldn't have been called the "King of Asian Dance".

After the group disbanded, he formed the JTL group with Ahn Seung-ho and Lee Jae-won, and subsequently released two albums with the group.

In 2005, Jang Yoo Hyuk released his debut album No More Drama, and at the end of the same year he held a solo concert tour.

The subsequent single "The Sun That Never Sets" has long been on the Audition charts.

The following year, he unveiled his second album, My Way, which was the number one music album in South Korea in less than a day.

But then, Zhang Youhe completely suspended his acting career and enlisted in the military.

Two years later he was officially discharged from the army and then moved into China, signing a contract with the Huayi Brothers.

In the same year, Zhang Youhe won the Best Dance Award at the 14th China Music and Asian Influence Awards.

However, after that, Zhang Youhe's acting career development bottlenecked, in 2012, he starred in Sohu's web drama "Secret Angel", which did not cause any splash.

In 2016, after specially starring in the youth inspirational comedy "The Film Master Who Pretends to Be Invisible", Jang You hyuk rarely appeared.

As for the relationship, he has successively passed on gossip with Japanese actresses Such as Yuko Flute, Quan Huibin, Xu Zhiying, etc., but none of them have responded.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="212" >4.An Shenghao: Harvest fans with his voice, and be tepid after the transformation</h1>

An Shenghao was named the most emotional presence in H.O.T. and he has been in charge of the rap and English parts.

Fans say: Having a magnetic voice is definitely his charm.

After the group disbanded, he served as the lead singer in the JTL group, and at one point attracted a large number of fans because of his charming and magnetic voice.

During the solo flight, he began to follow the style of a nobleman, grew long hair, and became gentlemanly and gentle.

In 2005, he released the album Behind the Clouds, and later enlisted in the army, where he served as a host for several Korean National Army radio programs.

In the years that followed, Yasuto also released some albums and hosted some variety shows, but it was clear that his popularity was declining.

In 2013, he was rumored to be in love with Whaley, a member of the 16-year-old girl group Girl's Day, causing an uproar.

Six years later, after attending H.O.T.'s three-day concert "2019 High-five Of Teenagers" at the Goguks Dome in Seoul, Ahn Seung-ho served as the main host of the variety show "The King of Shopping", and then lived a "disappeared" life.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="238" >5.Lee Jae-won: No sense of existence, caught in a sex Q scandal</h1>

In H.OT, Lee Jae-won is the best at hip-hop style, but due to personality reasons, he himself is very low-key.

At the JTL stage, his presence doesn't seem to be very high either. In 2004, he began flying alone, and there was not much news that could be said.

In 2008, he was rumored to be a sexually new female singer, and later, while everyone was waiting to see the results, the situation took a big turn: the woman took the initiative to reconcile and dropped the charges.

Until 2015, Lee Jae-won was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, but because the condition was in its early stages, it was not a big problem, and he also began to invest in treatment.

News of the H.O.T's restructuring was thus delayed.

In 2017, Li Zaiyuan recovered from illness, but the development of his career has been unremarkable.

Over the years, several members also tried to restructure, but apparently without success.

In 2011, coinciding with Lee Jae-won's retirement, H.OT members were reunited, and the sentence "We are H.O.T., please raise us" made many fans burst into tears in an instant.

In 2018, they reunited and held a concert because they participated in the MBC variety show "Infinite Challenge".

But whether they can still regroup still seems to be a mystery.

But even if they have passed the age of confusion now, even if they are reorganized again, is there still a possibility of turning red?

After all, the story about the "five teenagers" has become a history that is impossible to go back to.

It is better to let everything stay here, after all, the beauty in memory is the most precious.
