Biography
Pre-debut and H.O.T.
Kangta was discovered at Lotte World, a theme park, when he was only 13 years old. He debuted as a back-up dancer together with future band member Moon Hee Jun for singer Yoo Young-jin. Kangta eventually decided to become a singer with Moon Hee Jun and three others, Jang Woo Hyuk, Tony An, and Lee Jae Won to form H.O.T. in 1996.
He is an experienced songwriter and composer, having written over 100 songs for H.O.T.'s albums as well as for other groups and singers like NRG and Fly to the Sky. When H.O.T. disbanded in March 2001, Kangta was the first member to debut solo. He released his first solo album "Polaris", which became a huge hit; it was followed by his second album "Pinetree" in 2002. His first solo concert took place in the summer of 2003.
In 2006, Kangta was chosen as a runner up for Best Korean Singer overseas, according to Arirang International Broadcasting. A poll was issued over the internet, allowing only people outside of Korea to vote. Shinhwa's song "Once In A Lifetime" won by 60% of the vote, beating Kangta, who came in second with 20.3 percent.

127 Days
by: KangtaBefore I realised it, it's been so long
I've been staying in this Ice Age that's without you
Although memories keep reeling in my mind
The love that's already frozen will not be thawed again
The way you casually say I'm a good man
And I cannot tell you my real thoughts
I'm hesitating whether I should
Admit that I can't let go
The breakup on day 127 left 127 hearts in pain
Each day, regret taught me a little
How could I neglect your feelings
How much tears did you she'd before you found a reason to leave me
Perhaps the one who's been tolerating all the while is you
The mistakes you made because you were gentle
There's only your beautiful silhouette in my eyes
My eyes only seek for your news
Even if I've moved on
I'm still lingering around the fond memories
My heart has died since a long time ago, it has lost the reason to live
Right from the day you stopped loving me, it stopped beating
The breakup on day 127 left 127 hearts in pain
Each day, regret taught me a little
How could I neglect your feelings
How much tears did you she'd before you found a reason to leave me
Perhaps the one who's been tolerating all the while is you
The mistakes you made because you were gentle
Them baby,how we end up here
You know it's funny
I just miss you so much
I still remember holding you kissing you
I wish i could just see you right now lying in my arms
Maybe i'm waiting for you
Please just come back to me
I love you
The breakup on day 127 left a 'me' who's missing you terribly
A day, a year, time has proven
That I've never forgotten about you
It took so much loneliness for me to understand the reason you left
I don't have the right to ask you to return to me
