The group broke up in 2001 after a disagreement with SM Entertainment.[6][7] However, they later reunited in 2018.
Formation
changeH.O.T. was formed in 1996 by record producer Lee Soo-man of SM Entertainment. Lee had done a survey of high school students to find out what their ideal pop group would be like. He used this information to create H.O.T.[3]
The first member to join was Kangta, who Lee discovered at an amusement park. Next to join were Moon Hee-joon and Lee Jae-won. The fourth to join was Jang Woo-hyuk who Lee found when he won first place in a dance contest. Finally, Tony An joined the group after an audition in Los Angeles.[3]

changeH.O.T. made their first album in September 1996. It is called We Hate All Kinds of Violence and sold 1.5 million copies.[5] Their first single was "Descendants of Warriors" which was a criticism of bullying. Their second single, "Candy," was a cheerful bubblegum pop song.[5][8] That year, H.O.T. won Best New Artist at the Golden Disc Awards.[9]
In July 1997, H.O.T. released their second album. It has the title Wolf and Sheep, and sold 1 million copies in ten days.[10] The album included the singles "Wolf and Sheep," "Happiness," and "We Are the Future".[3] The album won the Grand Prize at both the 1997 Golden Disc Awards and the 1997 Seoul Music Awards.[9][11] The song "We Are the Future" was also nominated for an International Viewer's Choice Award at the 1998 MTV Video Music Awards.[3]
By this time, H.O.T. had become a "social sensation" in South Korea.[2] With their success came the rise of K-pop fan culture.[12]
