H.O.T. - debuted 16 years ago

After my first post on H.O.T., I didn't realize that it's been 16 years since their debut, Sept 7, 1996.  A fan had sent Jang Woo Hyuk an anniversary cake celebrating their debut.

The boy band is considered the forerunners of the Korean idol groups.  They were created by the chairman of SM Entertainment.

Members "Sexy Guy" Kangta was the first member and the leader.  "Radiant" Moon Hee Jun was the second member to join and he also had his friend "Shy Guy" Lee Jae Won to audition and then became the third member.  "Wild Guy" Woo Hyuk became the fourth member of HOT after he won a dance contest.  "Mood Guy" Tony An auditioned in LA along with Andy Lee and won the fifth spot.  Andy Lee later became a member of Shinwha.

There's talk of a reunion since last year, since the final member completed his military duty . It would be really nice to see them together.  I don't know if it will come true since there were issues between the company and the members when they disbanded after 5 years.

In any case, in celebration of their debut, here's Full of Happiness, just because Super Junior did a remake of this song.  We are the Future was considered one of their best songs.  My favorite song is Candy.
