Legendary first-generation K-pop group H.O.T. has captured fans’ attention after releasing a new full-group photo ahead of their first official performance in six years.

On August 15, Tony An shared a special moment with all five members together through his social media. Along with a group photo, he wrote, "Everyone, it’s been such a long time, hasn’t it? I didn’t have any photos or videos worth posting for a while, so I was at a loss. But during practice, we took this picture. The outfits are a bit casual, but since it’s a shot of the five brothers together, I wanted to share it."

The photo shows Moon Hee Jun, Jang Woo Hyuk, Tony An, Kangta, and Lee Jae Won gathered in one place, reuniting the legendary idol group that defined the 1990s.

Meanwhile, H.O.T. will headline the Hanteo Music Festival on September 6–7, delivering a performance of over 60 minutes. This stage marks their first full-group performance since their 2019 Gocheok Sky Dome concert, heightening excitement for the return of the first-generation idols who helped shape K-pop in the ’90s.

After officially disbanding in 2001, H.O.T. reunited in 2018 through MBC’s 'Infinite Challenge' and successfully held a solo concert at the Seoul Olympic Main Stadium that same year. They followed up with a 2019 performance at the Gocheok Sky Dome, proving their enduring popularity.
