-Why are only Tony and Kangta there?

-I love H.O.T. so much!!!

-This is something that only SM Ent. could doㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅜ

-Whoa... Tony is still the same.

-Jeno is so cute... He looks like a baby.

-Jaemin... He always stands out in every performance of 'Candy'

-Whoa... This somehow makes me feel weird... This is only possible because it's SM Ent.

-Truly powerful.

-This is bringing back so many memoriesㅠㅜ Both the original H.O.T. version and NCT's version of 'Candy' are so refreshing...

-It's amazing how Kangta and Tony's voices haven't changed.

-Why does this make me emotional?

-This grandma is crying...ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-Now I understand why Tony was so popularㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Their vocal cords haven’t aged at all. This makes me feel weirdㅠㅠ

-Dreamies, thank you so much for covering 'Candy.' Thanks to you all, I'm really happyㅠㅠ

-Thanks to them, the 1st Gen shined even brighter!!!

-They must be glad to reunite in such situationㅋㅋㅋ

-Why are the three of them so cute?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-They haven’t changed at all.

-If this photo was taken 20 years ago, people would've gone crazy over them linking arms like thatㅋㅋㅋ

-Ahn Seungho is such a cutie.

-The stars of the first albums I ever bought in my lifeㅠㅠ

-I want to see Kangta with them tooㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Whoa, I'm not even a 1st Gen fan but this is bringing back so many memories... Why didn't Kangta take a picture with them, though?

-Wow, I’m the only one who’s aged, huh?ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-Why are these Unnies and Oppa so cute...

-Wasn't Eugene a fan of H.O.T.?? Or maybe I remember it wrong...?

-This is insane. I love this so muchㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-It's great to see them all together.

-Suho did a great job.

-EXO is definitely EXO

-EXO did so well... As a H.O.T. fan who watched SMTOWN Concert today, I was so happy. They were amazing!!!

-I clicked it without thinking, but they really did well ㅋㅋㅋ Their live performance is so good

-This song somehow really fits EXO's vibe.

-Suho is surprisingly good at everything ㅋㅋㅋ I didn't know at first, but I watched him acting and it's actually pretty good tooㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Chanyeol is such a good rapper??

-I'm seriously asking because I don't know, why wasn't D.O there? I know Sehun and Kai are in the military and the rest of the members have issues with the company.

-Junmyeon-ah, see you on the 25th and 26th! Love you 🤍

-Whoa... They absolutely nailed this.

-They did so well even with just the two of them... Suho's voice is really good.

-The arrangement suits the two of them perfectly. I think Suho is a really amazing singer. Overall, this is a really great performance.

-Whoa... The two of them filled that huge stage with their presence.

-Even with just two members, EXO did great. The company should've made SHINee perform something, especially when all of their juniors and seniors are performingㅠ

I wonder if these male singers would still be popular if they debuted in this generation.jpg

 

COOL's Lee Jaehoon

H.O.T's Kangta

H.O.T's Tony Ahn

god's Yoon Kye-sang

SECHSKIES' Eun Jiwon

NRG's Noh Yoo-min

Jo Sungmo

pann

[+28][-0]

1. [+27][-0] People always love idols with mischievous looks and stan-attractor types like Eun Jiwon - Yoon Kye-sang and Plum (NB: Jo Sungmo) - Tony Ahn. Noh Yoo-min's face screams !!Visual!! and I think it'd play a big role on gaining some popularity for his group

2. [+25][-0] I think they can compete with male idols from this generation if they get the 'camera massage'. Besides, plastic surgery wasn't really common back then. Only people who are truly beautiful and handsome could be celebrities.

3. [+24][-0] Lee Jaehoon = Mischievous yet handsome main vocal. Yoon Kye-sang and Eun Jiwon = Tough, mafia-like style. Plum (NB: Jo Sungmo) = Beautiful voice + cure habits + stan-attractors. Tony Ahn = Stan-attractor who is good at dancing.

4. [+17][-0] Yes, except for Kangta

5. [+13][-0] It's funny how everyone calls Jo Sungmo 'Plum' instead of using his real nameㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ This is f*cking hilarious

The stage names Lee Sooman had suggested for SM artists, but were rejected

 

Tony Ahn

1st suggestion: Pickle (Because it suits his fresh image)

2nd suggestion: Tony (Originally, it's his English name)

>> If he used the name Pickle, he's afraid he's going to get a lot of offer to star in Pickle advertisements instead of Pizza. So he decided to go with Tony. 

Leeteuk

1st suggestion: Kangsu (Means 'precipitation', Lee Sooman wants him to bring the rain to the music industry)

2nd suggestion: Shin-i (Means the kid that God has sent)

3rd suggestion: Leeteuk (Means a special kid)

>> Right after the 2nd suggestion, he decided to go with Leeteuk

Shindong

1st suggestion: Woo-dong (Dong is taken from his real name + because it suits his chubby image)

2nd suggestion: Dong-chun (is actually the name of a Korean circus group, Lee Sooman chooses this name because Shindong has a lot of talent)

3rd suggestion: Shin-don (But then Shindong requested it to be 'Shindong)

>> There was a drama in MBC titled 'Shin-don' airing at that time, therefore he went with 'Shindong'

Kyuhyun

1st suggestion: Gwi-hyun (Because Kyuhyun is difficult to pronounce + it means 'precious')

2nd suggestion: Kyuhyun (His real name)

>> The manager heard Lee Sooman's stage name suggestion and opposed it, that's how he went with Kyuhyun instead

DBSK

1st suggestion: 오장육부/The Five Visceras and Six Entrails (Means just like the internal organs, this group can't leave out anyone)

2nd suggestion: 동방불패/Swordsman (Lee Sooman was inspired from the movie with the same title)

3rd suggestion: 동방신기 (Means Rising Gods from the east)

>> The 2nd suggestion was rejected because the Hanja was not aesthetically pleasing, that's how they went with DBSK

theqoo

-If DBSK had used 'The Five Visceras and Six Entrails', I wonder if they're using the organs' name as the members' stage names too...? Kidney-Yunho, Pancreas-Changmin...

-Was he even serious when he suggested all those names...?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I can't believe he almost named Shindong after a Circus group...

-It's so funny how the manager opposed the idea of 'Gwi-hyun'ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Isn't Gwi-hyun harder to pronounce than Kyuhyun...?

-What the heck is The Five Visceras and Six Entrails...ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-He has a fresh image and yet Lee Sooman was going to name him Pickle??? I thought Pickles were sourㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Kyuhyun's name is so pretty, why would you change that to Gwihyunㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-If they went with The Five Visceras and Six Entrails, we would have Kidney-Yunho, Liver-Yoochun, Heart-Junsu, Small Intestine-Changmin, and Large Intestine-Jaejoong...

-I wonder what would've happened if they decided to go with The Five Visceras and Six Entrailsㅋㅋ

-What the f*ckㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Shin-i was actually a good name...
