Kangta appeared on JTBC's 'Please Take Care of My Refrigerator' on December 12 and revealed which H.O.T member was the most popular with the female celebs when the group was active.

Ahn Jung Hwan said to Kangta on the show, "Your popularity in China is no joke."  Lee So Ra said that his popularity with the female celebs when he was in H.O.T was no joke, either.

Kangta said, "Because the company was very controlling, I couldn't even contact [the female celebrities].  If I think about it now, they're such wasted opportunities.  Now there aren't any [female celebs who like me].  To tell the truth, the member who was the most popular with the female celebrities was Tony An.  He was really so popular."

Kim Sung Joo said, "After that was Kangta?" and he replied carefully, "Yes."
