I had my share of H.O.T (High-fives Of Teenagers) days but I was never into Tony. In my opinion he wasn’t as charismatic as Jang Woo Hyuk, not as funny as Moon Hee Jun who later turned into a disgraceful rocker, not as talented as Kang Ta and well, not as tall as Lee Jae Won. But to my surprise, Korea’s top sexy divas – Lee Hyori and Ivy were Tony’s avid fans.
Lee Hyori used to wait outside H.O.T’s apartment to get a glimpse of him and even stole his diary out of his bag to get to know him better. The sexy thief has been arguing that she returned the diary but Tony never saw it again.
Ivy recently confessed that she wanted to change her name to Dan-Ji because Tony sings the line “Dan Ji Nul Sa Rang Hae” (trans: I love you only) in the song “Candy.” Despite the fact that danji translates into “only” in Korean, Ivy felt that if her name was Dan Ji, it would seem like Tony said, Dan Ji – I love you. Talk about obsession.
These two are still fascinated by their high school pop idol and turn red in his presence. I just don’t get it. Why Tony? Can somebody please enlighten me?
H.O.T pictures to reminisce the late 90s.







Because he looks hot in massive red hair and oversized trackpants?
I was told his ears are all big and stick out, so that’s why he always has hairstyles that cover his ears. He aint all that
haha ivy’s confession made me laugh^^
i dk??
ohh Wy hairstyles??
lol, never would’ve known.
hyori&ivy- talk about obsessive?!
i mean, at least pick a talent, like kangta ;]
hum… not too sure… i didn’t like him much…. OUt of all of them, Kang Ta would be my fav.
dust bunny – at least tony had a small face
hee jun had a huge face, so his hair covered up half of his face all the time!
LOL had the hots for Woo Hyuk ever since i was little, no matter how dorky his hair or glasses were!! aaand i agree that Hee Jun’s face was so huge^^
I dunno ^^! Even though they’re NOT pretty but 4 me, whenever seeing them with other stars they got my angle. uhm, dunno, maybe it’s their charisma (lol ^^) but 4 me Tony has the friendliest look.
LOL. hyori and Ivy??? Haahaa.
anywho.. Tony looks okaay.. but Jang Woo Hyuk is the hottest for me. Just seeing him dance makes me melt.. LOL ^^
it’s because tony pays for everything…. i remember hearing a story that boa ordered all this champagne and called out tony b/c she knew he would pick up the tab….
I heard this from a bartender who saw all this happen
Tony is hot and the best of h.o.t..He is sooo successful now.love him.
Why don’t Ivy and Tony just get together?
He was pretty cute..
I still don’t really see Tony’s attractiveness. I mean, he has his charm, but to be honest, Jang Woo Hyuk has always been my favorite, even during H.O.T’s Candy days. He really was most charismatic; Kangta came right after him, with that amazing voice of his. *O*
he’s kind of cute, i guess… my least favorite in the group was moon heejun. i don’t know, i just never liked him much.
He’s not even cute. I’m learning korean right now in Calif. and I was talking to one of my teachers and she said when she taught in southern california, Tony was one of her students and had all D’s. Yeah..thought I’d put that out there because it’s odd..
I’m pretty obsessed with Tony myself
He’s by far my favorite. His music is love and he’s sooo cute!! ^^
tony the monkey? really?
maybe hyori and ivy like the “cute” look. Tony had that going. He had to work it to the max cuz he had no other redeeming qualities…
After seeing many of the H.O.T. members on Xman, I always thought Tony was the funniest guy, with the most personality. But I am not sure if this was apparent when he was just singin in H.O.T. And I’m jealous that he dated Nam Gyu Ri.
She’s a hottie.
well actually lmao back in the days i liked tony too! i thought he looked the cutest out of all of them.
Cause tony’s cool =) haha he’s my second favorite
H.O.T memeber =) Woo Hyuk is first ^_____^!
Well Tony is really a cutie, he’s the first one I was during the H.o.t days. I think when your in high school you don’t look forward to Handsome guys. Your have eyes on the cute ones, well maybe your looking forward that he might like you too. Hehehehe! and yes i think tony is the funniest member of H.O.T coz he really makes me laugh in Xman. Envy Nam Gyu Ri Too
Haha. Tony is the fobbiest. He’s also the cutest too.
I don’t know. WooHyuk looks sorta like a druggie.
He has a nice body though, I can tell you that.
ahhaha…okay tony is friggin HOT okay..kang ta was too girly for me..hee jun was too crazy..woo hyuk is hot and he knew how to dance..and the other guy [sorry i forgot his name] did not stand out to me..he was too quiet..tony does have character he and woo hyuk are sooo HOT…to me tony has that sweet up for adventure look…i think that’s sexy..LoL…
i was a tony fan! he’s sooo cute! i hated kangta’s vaoice, heejun was too girly, and i don’t even remember knowing who woohyuk and jaewon was!.
ZOMG!!!!!!!!! I LVOE ALL OF THEM! XD Tony is like, TOTALLY cute! Kang Ta has the most AMAZING voice ive ever heard! Hee Jun had the most HOTTEST hai styles ive ever seen (except for the one with purple ponytals on each both sides of his head.)! Woo Hyuk has the most AWESOME dance skillz! and Jae Won had AWESOME rapping skillz!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jeez, im fangirling again o.O GAHH THEYRE ALL SO HOTT!!!!!!!!!!!!! >_< Hmmm… I would… give away my cellphone (now THAT is saying something!) for H.O.T to get back together and start singing again!!! T_T Miss Them So Much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
im sorry but… who exactly IS Ivy??? XDDD yes, im very slow, and no, i dont pay attention to the famous girls that much. i only have my eyyes on the boys! XD
ok, now to actually say something about this Ivy having the hots for Tony business… Tony is like, REALLY romantic (watch Xman!)! and funny!!! who WOULDNT like him?!?!?!?!?!
Woah O.o i just noticed but, im still a major H.O.T fan even though its like what… 2007??? LOL!
I love all H.O.T members, Tony is cute and has charisma i like that about him, Hee Jun has always been the rocker of the band, even in the early H.O.T days it’s been so, his music is amazing i’m a total rock fan and as one i can say his music is very very good, i love his voice too it’s very beutiful and who doesn’t agree thats their prob, as for his weight he has hepititus and takes medication for it and because of that he gains some weight especially in the face area but he has never been fat, his face is just roundish and babyish, but if you look at his stomach and arms it’s easy to tell that he’s not fat, during the early day of H.O.T he had a kinda babyish face and now he looks great too, in the recent military pics he looks great and really in shape. Hee Jun is very cute, note this CUTE, he’s always been because he has a babyish kinda face. And he’s a strong person for still doing what he loves and rocking at it despite his anti’s, the presure, backtracks etc and thats why i admire him. So please get your fact straight before posting things, its very distasteful, if you won’t respect him as an artist thats your prob, atleast respect him as a person.
Wow, He went to my H.S. and his senior yearbook photo looks funny.
moon hee jun isnt a disgraceful rocker hes always had the image and the voice for it and just becasue he wuz in a pop group dosent mean he has to do pop music for the rest of he’s life.
Well, I would honestly say.. he is not as charismatic as Woo Hyuk… not as handsome as Kang Ta.
But there is something inside of him that can make you love him.
And he’s funny. If you watch the variety he had appeared, he really could make you laugh.
Oh he’s so lovely!!!
You just need to know him more. I used to be Kang Ta’s fan but now… Tony! ;D
Anyway, Moon Hee Jun isn’t a disgraceful rocker.
Guess it has enlightened you.
I must say growing up, I liked Tony the best too. He is charming in his own right. And Funny. Moon was dorky to me not funny. My second fav was Kangta.
