Former H.O.T. member Tony An reminisced back to the ‘bloody fight’ between fans of H.O.T and Sechskies.
During an interview on tvN‘s ‘Baek Ji Yeon’s People Inside‘ that took place on the 2nd, Tony An recalled a past story and said, “I saw the fans [H.O.T. and Sechskies] hitting each other with umbrellas, and honestly, I was a bit frightened.” The ‘battle’ had taken in front of the theater where the Golden Disk ceremony had occurred.
He also discussed forming JTL after H.O.T disbanded. With the mains vocals H.O.T., Kangta and Moon Hee Jun out of the group, they received much criticism for attempting to produce any songs without proper vocals.
He stated, “I felt the name H.O.T would be ridiculed if we broke down there. I thought that the three of us should work hard just for the sake of the name.”
He has now become a record producer, started his own label (TN Entertainment), and has even finished his enlistment duties. He said, “I have to make a lot of money because of the staff that stayed with me for over 10 years.” He also talked about SMASH, a group that he produced. He teared up and said, “I really want them to do well. They’re very diligent, good kids. I’m ashamed that I thought of giving up on them even once.“

Glad to see that Tony isn't giving up on SMASH. But what ever happened to the other idol group he was gonna produce?

Date: 2012-10-03 01:51 am (UTC)But SM is... well... SM. I mean, they were able to keep Heejun for a little while, and then they tanked with him (although part of that was his own fault for trying to repackage himself as a rocker when people were like 'bitch, you were singing Candy 5 years ago. Stop!), and despite the fact that Kangta is pretty much the goose that laid the foundation of SM, they've been pretty shitty to him, too.

Date: 2012-10-03 02:13 am (UTC)Heejun made a mistake for turning into a rocker but that's his real passion so I doubt he feels he made a mistake when he made that decision. How is he now? Did he live a comfortable live as a former idol legend or is he struggling with his life now? I see him on certain shows but it didn't actually serve him right with all great things he did in the past.
Don't mention Kangta. I was so pissed at the way SM treat him and he still remains loyal. ;_; MBC even cut his part in the SM family concert that they aired recently. How a disgrace to him and his fans. I actually watched the whole con just to watch his part only to be disappointed in the end. :( Didn't he write or compose anymore? I missed his ballads..

i assume he's more involved in sm's business rather than music? he said that he's always abroad (us/china) that he forgot he's korean, lol

Apparently on his radio show he would not only talk back about Heejun, but hurt his family as well. It was on tv where Kim Gura was filmed personally meet Heejun face to face to apologize, but Heejun still can't forgive him from the all the depression and mental distress he brought.
Heejun had it hard going rocker that I just want him to be a hit and show SM

Date: 2012-10-03 01:37 am (UTC)I beg to differ since When Did Your Heart Stop Loving Me is a really awesome song that I keep listening to it even until now. Tony An is a good singer and I wish he will start releasing his solo stuffs again -- something like Yutzpracachia to be exact. :)
