Does anyone have details about this music video including where this was filmed? The album is sold through both Walmart and Bestbuy online in the USA.

This blog has 3 pictures of Tony that are fun. I was able to keep clicking on recommended posts and find a lot of old Tony images from this time period.

Its a weibo link, but works when pasted into Chrome.

On Dr. Oh's Golden Clinic Episode 7 Tony explains he's afraid of marriage. It sounded to me like Tony is afraid more of becoming his father in general than of marriage itself. Although he said he through he father raised him well, he also said something like he wasn't always sure his father loved him.

Fortunately, he said he did realize he can live a different life. Tony has shared about his struggles with mental health including depression, social anxiety and others in the past.

The article is in Korean but talks about an interview Heejun's sister Hye Ri gave on an MBC show called Flower Bouquet. In it she shares that the reason she went to go study in Japan was because fans were upset and harassing her after Kangta said she was pretty and kind.

Married couple Heejun and Soyul are appearing on Same Bed Different Dreams.

It is on OnDemand Korea, but no subtitles. If anyone has a link to somewhere with subtitles please share because I can't keep up with this.

Does anyone have a link to where I can watch this full episode? I have read several articles about it and there were some things that were... concerning. I'd love to watch the episode in full myself.

1997 H.O.T Newspaper Articles

There are two H.O. T. articles on this page. I linked it so you can check it out directly. But I had a bit of trouble using a translation app so I wanted to share the news here incase anyone else has trouble translating it too

"H.O.T. Releases 2nd Album 'Wolf and Sheep' TC Activies to Resume in Full Swing Next Month"

by Dong-A Iibo July 18, 1997. Reporter Heo Yeop

This article says Heejun had to take a TV break because of shoulder pain, but is getting daily treatment, doing radio should resume TV in August.

About Wolf and Sheep: In the song alien invasion is June 28th because that was the day H.O.T. selected for the album release, but because MBC gave them a broadcast ban with the lyric "damned beasts" it impacted the premiere, they declined to change the lyrics because KBS and SBS didn't have issues.

About Happiness: 4 of the musical measures are from the hymn "The Angels Song" which is also used in French folk song.

They addressed that there has been criticism that some of the singing is too similar to Young-jin Yoo, the composer and arranger for H.O.T. but Kangta, is showing the intentions of the composer and will display his own skills in live performances.

"Capturing the Hearts of Teenagers in their Dance and Converying Them Through their Sounds" by Dong-A Iibo July 18, 1997. Reporter Heo Yeop

This article says that in 15 days H.O.T's 2nd album Wolf and Sheep sold 1 million copies and features sci-fi warriors facing off against aliens. It describes H.O.T as having a unique strategy of "singing in one hand, fashion (dancing) in the other," and "unconvential cartoon-like style with a very fast pace." It notes that each member has distinct charm and that H.O.T's lyrics are aligned with what’s on teen's minds, what they want to say, and the styles they like.

It says that the track and album name were inspired by the movie "Independence Day" and that the aliens are the wolves that attack on June 28th 2000, while humans are the sheep. H.O.T says that the true meaning of the song is a warning against any kind of violence in society and points out that H.O.T's debut song, Warrior's Descendant already warned about the seriousness of school violence.

The article says the graffiti art H.O.T. is using on the logo, album cover, and outfits is part of a cultural movement and was designed in/with(?) graffiti from Los Angeles, USA and that Soo-Man Lee says that “graffiti is a modern expression of hip-hop and expresses resistance to violence through scribing."

It says the popularity of H.O.T is from  the combination of their music, hip-hop, song lyrics, cyber fashion, graffiti and shows how a collection of those ideas is marketable and that they were "moving gold" last year in fashion brand and goods. It also points out that the fanbase is young, this is their second album and it can (?)be a migratory bird

 

There is a cafe that has a ton of personal collection H.O.T items on display. They also sell some lunch boxes, blankets, coasters and other fan made merch with H.O.T style characters on them

They also have instagram https://www.instagram.com/h.o.t.cafe/

There are even more pictures on Kakao maps

I know there is a translate feature but I don't know how well it works, if its slow, or just overall how accessible Reddit is for Korean speakers, especially those who would access it from Korea. Overall how accessible is Reddit to someone who primarly speaks Korean?

*edit to add: I'd like to invite someone to something specific on Reddit, but don't know if there may be barriers to their use

Thank you!

Everland, the largest amusement park in Korea will host a 4 day festival honoring g.o.d. including two days of concerts.

Have the members stated it will happen this year? Any news or updates at all? The members seem active lately so I am hoping they will say.

It is hard to make other plans not knowing 😣

As part of a tv show, Woohyuk and Key from Shinhee went to random homes looking for someone to have dinner with them.

Did this fan forget she was engaged because of Woohyuk 😅? She says her friend, then boyfriend, then fiancé... I don't know that its a translation issue but I don't fault her. I would be out of sorts if Woohyuk showed up asking for dinner at my house too.
