On September 7th, 1996, the youth singing group HOT composed of five senior high school students was born. The name High-five is taken from the meaning of "five energetic teenagers", which also means that the five young teenagers of the new generation will perform better in music.
HOT, which has just debuted, has attracted the attention of many young people in Korea with its trendy, fashionable and avant-garde image. With the release of albums such as Descendants of Soldiers, Wolf and Sheep, HOT has created one song myth after another, and at the same time it has become the most representative "cultural commodity" in South Korea in the late 1990s, leading the development direction of Korean song and dance groups, and five members with their own characteristics have also become a unique landscape in South Korea's music scene.
Avant-garde and humorous Wen Xijun has excellent explosive power, extraordinary talent, strong dancing ability and overwhelming leadership temperament, which makes him not only the finale performer of the hot live show, but also an irreplaceable combination captain. An Qixuan's first impression can only be described as "handsome": his exquisite facial features and elegant aristocratic temperament make him destined to be the most popular member of the group, while his profound singing skills and excellent dance make him an unshakable lead singer in the team. Zhang Youhe, who is usually taciturn, has attracted fans' love with her exquisite dancing skills. Dancing seems to be a part of his life, and even the most difficult movements are fully capable of coping. As the leader of the hot dance, it is well deserved. An Shenghao, whose image is sometimes rebellious and sometimes cute, is better known as Tony. Life in America made him speak fluent English, so he was duty-bound to play the role of English rapper in HOT. Li Zaiyuan, who is the youngest and tallest in the group, seems to be the most easily overlooked, but this shy big boy who blushes at every turn is extremely serious at work, revealing a kind of steadiness that does not match his age. And his loveliest place is probably his childish shy smile.
With stunning stage modeling, fiery typhoon, excellent singing skills, excellent dancing skills, avant-garde unique packaging and careful behind-the-scenes planning, young HOT is at the forefront of the world pop music scene, but this does not affect their image as a good student with excellent academic performance. Their songs and dances have always guided the popular trend in Korea, so their singing and dancing ability is also the reason why H.O.T is liked by many fans, and of course, they have some distinctive but still smart appearances. HOT's songs are full of teenagers' longing for the future, unwilling to be bound, and it is easy to get young people's songs.
No one can replace heat. Without HOT, who in China knows Korean pop music? Without the success of HOT, how could there be so many boys' groups in Korea? Without heat, there would be no Korean wave, not to mention the current Korean drama. All the groups that are very popular in China and even in Asia, whether individuals or groups, you have to thank HOT and SES. Without HOT, Koreans would not have a foothold in the China market. Without SES, no Japanese would care about Korean pop music at all, and everything is difficult at the beginning. When HOT and SES were famous for Korea, other popular Korean stars didn't know where to get along. Without HOT and SES to open the way for you, it was impossible for anyone to invest in a large number of Korean pop music groups in the Korean pop music market at that time. In fact, we only know Korean pop music groups in China. In fact, the mainstream music popular in Korea is still lyrical. Just look at the record sales. The one above is not a group at all, but they are not well-known in China. At that time, Mr. Jin of Tian Yu Company wanted to introduce Korean pop music to China. One of his records was Shen, the theme song of My Barbarian Girlfriend. I think that's the name. He is the guarantee of the real sales of Korean pop music. Including domestic record companies at that time, all felt that such lyric songs were easy to push, because China audiences liked lyric songs and didn't like heat, but Mr. Jin insisted on pushing heat, saying that what was lacking in China market at that time was such music. He also said that if HOT can't succeed in China, other Korean singers won't have a foothold in China at all. At his insistence, when Chinese people were unfamiliar with Korea, only some pop music magazines had small pages to explain HOT and some videos. With almost negligible publicity, HOT's imported album sold 5w copies in the first issue, which is an unparalleled achievement. A foreign singer who can achieve such success without anyone knowing can only do it in all imported foreign albums. As for some later combinations, they are not under the same door. It is under the guise of Korean fever that China recently. Because of HOT's guarantee, China introduced other Korean groups, focusing on groups rather than singers. In other words, China people now know that Korean groups and singers who are really in Han Guohong have quietly developed in China. Why is there no shortage of China? So heat is irreplaceable. The fiery concert in Beijing in 2000 was not publicized in advance. In fact, people in China know that they have less than two years. Members, including HOT himself, said that they thought the only people who would come to their concert would be Koreans in China. However, all China media, especially Beijingers, certainly remember the concert in 2000. What's that scene? This scene has never happened before and will never happen again! So don't compare with HOT just because it is a popular group. You are not qualified to compare with them. The popularity of Han Tuan, a popular music form, attracted people's attention, and it was also that they really made other Asian countries notice South Korea. Just as our Tang Dynasty perished, the Song Dynasty created more glories, but the glory of the Tang Dynasty could not be concealed by the Song Dynasty, because it was the Tang Dynasty that made the world know China. Let China culture truly go to the world and have a long-term and far-reaching impact on neighboring countries in Asia. So is the heat. No matter how great the combination is now, under the gorgeous music packaging, it also continues the HOT form. So no combination can match the influence of HOT. In fact, it is the crystal boy who is really called the national group in Korea. But how many Koreans know about them and they broke up shortly after the dissolution of HOT? However, four years later, some of them are still active on the stage, and they have completely disappeared. However, the five hotspots are the focus of people's attention wherever they go. After the dissolution of many groups that were even worse than those in South Korea at that time, most of their members had long been forgotten. Only five hot people can still see them active on the stage, and everyone's achievements are quite excellent. No member has been forgotten, and each of them is still a stage. ! ! No one is qualified to compete with them! ! ! They have surpassed the significance of a boy idol group, and they have created an era! ! !
About rice (fever)
To tell the truth, other ways for Korean rice to cheer for idols were invented by hot rice. Hot rice creates balloons to cheer for idols, and colors represent heat. Hot rice spontaneously arranged a venue for big posters for the brothers. Has this happened before? In the past, the organizers did these things for the concert atmosphere. Have you ever seen a singer's fans do this? Before hot meals appeared, there was nothing. No one has ever paid attention to fans. We will always be a group of neglected people. In fact, no matter how glamorous the stars are, they are actually held out by fans. But after the appearance of hot meals, all the media can no longer ignore us, because we have created even more performances than our brothers. I believe that everyone who has seen that white ocean will be moved by us!
The influence of heat
1In May, 1998, the Korean group HOT was recommended to China by South Korean UTA software and released an album. Since then, HOT has quickly become popular in Chinese mainland, and this fiery name has become more and more profound in the hearts of China fans. Shops, restaurants, entertainment places, everywhere can find the influence of heat on young people in China and their traces. Hot has become synonymous with fashion and coolness recognized by young people. 200 1 February's concert in Beijing Workers' Gymnasium is a boiling ocean. At that time, HOT, whose average age was less than 20 years old, showed dance music, rap, hip hop, heavy metal rock and other styles at the concert, each of which was well interpreted. According to fans, it's really worthwhile to watch HOT's concert. The anticipation before seeing, the excitement after seeing, and the satisfaction after seeing all make them unforgettable. Until the end of the performance, they will still stay in the venue and watch. Some people used to listen to English songs in order to learn English, but it's probably only hot for fans to learn Korean songs in order to understand them.

HOT's songs are full of teenagers' longing for the future, unwilling to be bound, and it is easy to get young people's songs.
1September, 1996, H.O.T entered the music world with a song "Descendants of Soldiers", and looked at the hypocrisy and ugliness of the adult world coldly from the perspective of teenagers and stubbornly resisted, which caused strong condemnation among teenagers and was widely loved by younger fans.
The following summer, H.O.T' s second album "Wolf and Sheep" moved closer to its musical purpose, showing the desire of more teenagers not to be bound. Although the album was controversial and its title song could not escape the fate of being banned, the follow-up songs "Happiness" and "We Are the Future" were great successes, which made them stand at the peak of the music scene at once.
The release of HOT's third album marks the growth of several boys. Different from the past, the members of HOT participated in the production process of this album, showed their creative talents, and pinned their hopes on the staff. The music style has also changed from the fierceness and sharpness of the last album to a little lyrical and inspirational. The album contains hope and shows love and hope. Obedience to social rebellion, vows of eternal love, becoming the theme song of hot fans and so on. In the whole album, we can see their more mature music world and fully feel the increasingly mature music quality of HOT members. After that, the fourth album "Children" and the fifth album "Outside the Castle" caused widespread shock in the Korean music scene.
The Five-in-One Hot Cyclone not only swept the Korean mainland, but also spread to all Asian countries such as Japan and China. The visual impact and mental shock they brought made them crazy everywhere.
I don't know if the phrase "good flowers don't bloom often, and good times don't last long" has come true. Just when the fiery singing career was in full swing, they made the most difficult choice-dissolution. On February 27th, 20001,HOT held their farewell concert at the Sericulture Olympic Arena in Seoul. The heavy rain seems to have aroused the fans' reluctance and heartache. At the end of April of the same year, the contracts of Shenghao An, Zhang Youhe and Li Zaiyuan expired. /kloc-On May 3rd, 0/8, they jumped to another company, and HOT was officially dissolved. In an instant, the whole world of fans seems to be in chaos, and the whole society has also caused an unprecedented sensation, and even the chaotic situation of the Korean stock market crash has appeared. Everyone who knows and doesn't know HOT has given them the greatest attention. The influence of heat can be seen.
HOT after solo flight can be said to have their own wonderful performances, and have made outstanding achievements in their respective music fields. Kontha and Wen Xijun, accompanied by their old clubs, still exude unique idol charm, and their solo albums have also received a good response. JTL, a brand-new combination composed of Tony, Zhang Youhe and Li Zaiyuan, has also appeared frequently on the stage everywhere. But the regrets in the hearts of fans are indescribable. I hope that the voice of hot reorganization has never disappeared. For them, heat is always the myth of the five in one. Recently, rumors about the reorganization of HOT are also rampant. No matter what the truth is, in the eyes of HOT fans, they still firmly believe that the five members of HOT will reunite as long as their beliefs remain unchanged.
HOT created a musical myth, a miracle. For countless fans, their youth is complete because of the heat. Perhaps many years later, the original passion no longer exists, but this memory will be imprinted in my heart forever and will never fade.
