H.O.T. (Hangul: 에쵸티) was a popular five-memer South Korean boy band in the mid to late 1990s. They were formed by SM Entertainment in 1996 and disbanded in 2001. Often credited as the forerunners of the "idol group" trend in the Korean music industry, H.O.T. successfully turned mainstream Korean music into music for the younger generation. Made up of five teenagers at the time of their debut, they were formed to specifically target teenagers, hence their name "High-five Of Teenagers".





H.O.T. was formed by producer Lee Soo-man of SM Entertainment. Their comprise a mixture of rap, ballads, dance, and later Rock, with singer Kangta providing most of the ballad vocals.
The first member that Lee Soo-man picked was Kangta. The manager saw him dancing and singing in public, and was impressed. Second was Moon Hee-joon, who after auditioning was accepted into the band. Hee-joon then invited his friend Lee Jae-won to audition, who was subsequently also admitted. The fourth to join the band was Woo-hyuk, after winning first place in a dancing contest. He was asked to try out and became the fourth member to join.
SM Entertainment traveled to LA to hold auditions, and Tony An and his close friend Andy Lee joined the band, however Lee's parents later withdrew support, causing him to leave the band and join Shinhwa in 1998.



During the late 1990s and early 2000s, H.O.T participated in a variety of activities!

At that time, high school students were absent from their school and waiting for HOT's concert at dawn. There were bunch of high school girls who fell into HOT, they were crying and laughing. HOT received a lot of attention on a national scale.


From the first album to the fifth album, they got a lot of love and attention from the public, I also love H.O.T so much. It is no exaggeration to say that H.O.T is the beginning of Idol group.

H.O.T is one of unforgettable memories we have!
It will be fun if MANNAM K-pop dances H.O.T's song.
