By Ines MinContributing Writer Kang Ta, former lead singer of the boy band H.O.T., topped a survey on Wednesday as the male celebrity most likely to return to entertainment after the army. The survey was conducted by major Internet forum DC Inside from July 15 to 21. The results show that Kang Ta won with 22.1 percent, garnering 1,833 votes. After H.O.T. split in 2001, Kang Ta was the first member to release his own solo album. Later, he continued collaborating with other musicians, including as a member of the Korean band Shinhwa. Since then, he has appeared in two Chinese dramas and KBS production "Loveholic". The singer-actor entered the military, a standard two-year commitment for all Korean males, in April 2008.

In the last few years, Korean films, TV dramas and pop music have become immensely popular abroad, a phenomenon known as the Korean Wave. This is the 26th in a series of essays by a select group of scholars and journalists looking at the spread of Korean pop culture in Southeast Asian countries and beyond. - Ed.
The term "Korean Wave" or "Hallyu" was initially coined in China to describe a newfound interest in Korean pop culture in China in the late 1990s. At the center of it all was the now-defunct boy band H.O.T. (High-five of Teenagers), two of whose albums were exported to China in 1998. Many people underestimate the strategic side of the iconic band's success in China, though, assuming that the quintet was simply lucky to become the first Korean pop musicians to be active in China, at a time when the country's music scene was not very well developed. Until last year, Ahn Chil-hyun - lead singer of the band, and better known by his stage name, Kang Ta - was one of them. ...| More | |||||||||

Staff Reporter Entertainment in 2007 was all about versatility. Fans could watch news anchors dance and sing, while some singers created their own shows and even starred in movies. Among these talented and ambitious celebrities, former G.O.D. members are leading the way toward true multi-entertainment. Park Joon-hyung, Son Ho-young, Yoon Kye-sang, Danny Ahn and Kim Tae-wu are all former members of the hit five-member pop group formed in 1999 by producer and singer Park Jin-young (also known as JYP), and released hits "To My Mother" and "Lie". The group announced their withdrawal in 2004. While lead singer Kim Tae-woo is serving in the military, the other members have gone a long way from their original pop career. Park, also known as Joon Park in the United States and former leader of the group, has literally crossed borders with his acting. He has already filmed a role in "Speed Racer", directed by the Wachowski brothers (The Matrix), as a Yakuza racer who co...| More | |||||||||
