H.O.T is set to reunite for their first full-member performance in six years, sweating it out in rehearsals ahead of their highly anticipated stage.
On August 15, member Tony An posted on his social media, writing, “It’s been such a long time, hasn’t it? I’ve had nothing worthy to post for so long, but I snapped this photo during practice. The outfits are casual, but since it’s been ages since the five brothers got together, I wanted to share it with you at last.” The accompanying photo shows all five members, Moon Hee Jun, Kangta, Jang Woo Hyuk, Tony An, and Lee Jae Won, together once again.
H.O.T will headline the 'Hanteo Music Festival' at Seoul World Cup Stadium on September 6 and 7, delivering a high-energy performance of over 60 minutes, which is practically a solo concert set. This marks their first complete-group stage since 2019 and comes just before the group’s 30th debut anniversary. Significantly, their September 7 performance will coincide with the 29th anniversary of their debut.
Despite the years, the members’ youthful looks remain intact, blending their signature boyish charm with a more mature presence. Fans have responded with excitement, commenting, “I can’t wait,” “We’ve been waiting for this,” and “It’s so good to see them together again.”
Debuting in 1996 with their first studio album 'We Hate All Kinds of Violence,' H.O.T is widely recognized as one of the pioneering boy bands that shaped the K-pop industry.
