First full-lineup stage in six years marks 29th anniversary celebration

🎉 K-pop Pioneers Return as Five

Legendary first-generation boy group H.O.T. is back together. On July 23, Hanteo Global confirmed the group will headline the Hanteo Music Festival at Seoul World Cup Stadium on September 6–7.

This will be the first time all five members share one stage since their 2019 solo concert at Gocheok Sky Dome—nearly six years ago.

⏱️ Extended Set on Debut Anniversary

As headliners, H.O.T. will perform for over 60 minutes, delivering a career-spanning set. Significantly, September 7 falls on their 29th debut anniversary, adding extra meaning to the reunion.

"This festival will etch a new chapter in K-pop history," organizers said. "We'll reveal more of the lineup after H.O.T.'s landmark performance."

🌟 Roots of a Cultural Phenomenon

Formed in 1996, H.O.T. pioneered K-pop's template, becoming the first idol group to achieve double million-seller status and setting countless records.

Their return to the stadium stage promises nostalgia, high-energy hits, and a celebration of K-pop's origins—right at the heart of Seoul.
