Band H.O.T. members get together after 17 yrs

The five members of the legendary K-pop boy group H.O.T. are getting together again after 17 years.

The H.O.T. members are set to reunite for a special performance on the MBC TV's variety show "Infinite Challenge" on February 15th.

The group made its debut in 1996 but suddenly split in 2001. Since then, there had been a series of reports about their possible reunion which fell apart.

Two members of H.O.T. -- Kangta and Tony An -- have given their impressions via their respective social network accounts, saying it needed a lot of courage for them to re-form the band after 17 years. They added that they will do their utmost.
