H.O.T. (Korean: 에이치오티; pronounced "H. O. T.", acronym for Highfive of Teenagers) is a South Korean boy band that was created by SM Entertainment in 1996. They are considered to be the first K-pop idol group and their successful formula became the model for many K-pop groups that followed them.[1][2] The group consisted of five members: Moon Hee-joon, Jang Woo-hyuk, Tony Ahn, Kangta, and Lee Jae-won.[3]

H.O.T. sold over 6.4 million records in South Korea during their career.[3] They were also commercially successful in China and Taiwan, and were among the first stars of the Korean Wave in Asia.[4][5]

The group broke up in 2001 following a contract disagreement with SM Entertainment, prompting hundreds of fans to stage protests against the company.[6][7] Currently, only Kangta, an executive of SM Entertainment, remains at the company.[8]
