There's a show in Korea called Sarang-ae- Request(Love Request) where viewers call in or send in donations to help needy people((people who are sick and can't afford treatment; children who are living a hard life)). HOT fans had been sending in 1,000won(about~$1) in a white envelope for a about 2(?) months(not sure -_-;) now and today(23rd), the show announced that the fans donated 8,303,000 won!! [[ That's about... $8000(??) ]] This was also mentioned on Yunae GajoongGae((entertainment news program))..

HOT will be making a 3-day comeback....

HOT will be making a 3-day comeback in mid-January. HOT, who had stopped all activities as a result of KangTa's DUI, has decided to hold concerts from January 18 to 20 at Olympic Park due to fans' continuous requests. One person working with HOT says that this is not yet final, but it is true that there are talks of a comeback stage. Also, in Moon Heejun's voice message to the fans, he mentions a surprising show that the members are in the midst of preparing for the fans. However, it is not certain that HOT will continue performing after the concerts due to their scheduled concert in China and the same company group SES's activities.

2 of KangTa's songs in Lee JiHoon album.. & Lee JiHoon + Shin HyeSung duet.

Sports Today article ; Shin HyeSung*Lee JiHoon, displaying their outstanding friendship

Singer Lee JiHoon and Shin HyeSung from group Shinhwa are catching people's attention by displaying their outstanding friendship. Lee JiHoon, who had received a song from HOT's KangTa before, recently decided to include a duet song with Shin HyeSung in his project album and went to work. The reason why Lee JiHoon was set up with Shin HyeSung to sing a duet was because KangTa was the one who wrote the song they would be singing together. At first, Lee JiHoon had planned to receive 2 songs from KangTa and also do a duet, however, because of KangTa's 'DWI incident' it was canceled. But because he had already received the song, he asked ShinHwa's Shin HyeSung for help due to the fact that his singing style was similar to that of KangTa's. Shin HyeSung, who heard Lee JiHoon's request, agreed on the spot and stated that he was "planning to show off the strong friendship with a fellow singer while presenting a beautiful harmony."
