Kangta was present at the Mnet ‘Voice Korea‘ press conference that was held in Seoul on February 7th along with fellow ‘Voice Korea’ coaches Shin Seung Hun, Leessang‘s Gil, Baek Ji Young, and ‘Voice Korea’ CP, Kim Ki-oong.
It was here that the singer announced, “I’m planning to make a comeback early this year. I’m working on a new album, and because it’s my first in 4 years, I want to return with something new and am even receiving dance instructions on the side.”
He also opened up about a possible H.O.T reunion that the public keeps bringing up. “I think all of us members really do want to make it happen. We have discussed a reunion in the past, but there’s a lot of factors that come into play. Like the time availability for everyone, and there’s a lot to work that must happen before it can actually come about. Because of these hinderances, all of us are really cautious about bringing it up.”
‘Voice Korea’ is the Korean version of ‘The Voice of Holland‘ that was first aired in the Netherlands in 2010. The U.S. launched an American version of the show through NBC in 2011, starring pop starChristina Aguilera, Blake Shelton, Maroon 5‘s Adam Levine, and Cee Lo Green as the panel judges.
Contestants will try out through a blind auditioning process, and the judges must make their decision upon hearing only their voice, without seeing their appearance or knowing anything about them.
The first episode airs February 10th at 11:00PM.
26 January:
The former idol will be serving as a coach on Mnet‘s ‘Voice Korea‘ alongside Shin Seung Hun, Baek Jiyoung, and Leessang‘s Gil.
Kangta who will be judging the contestants on their vocal talent alone and remarked, “I have sort of a different mind set and resolution going into this.”
“I decided to do the program because I felt that it would further challenge me as a singer,” he continued. “But seeing all these talented, young contestants makes me want to create a junior idol group similar toH.O.T.”
He continued, “I too, first debuted in the industry as an idol singer and later released a solo album, wrote my own songs, and slowly built experience… And because there are so many new idols that are debuting these days, I feel like my role as an artist and my place in the industry continues to change. I think this program will serve as an opportunity to invest more time and effort into raising junior rookie singers. And when I choose the teams for Voice Korea, I choose the contestants that I feel could really be my own juniors, and my disciples.”
Kangta added, “I think unique appeal is very imporant. More than someone who conforms to the styles and trends of today, I pick those who stand out among the rest and can develop their uniqueness over time. I’ve met a lot of individuals on the show that have these qualities who also sing extremely well. I already have high expectations for them.”
The singer reportedly exhibited a more charismatic and sincere side of him during the auditions that viewers have yet to see from him on stage.
The coaches must select the contestants for their teams based on vocal talent alone, without prior knowledge of their background, their individual stories, or their appearances. And apparently, all the contestants that Kangta selected have been extremely unique and different.
Meanwhile, ‘The Voice of Korea’ is a music survival program which has the exact same format as ‘The Voice’ in America, and the show was first created in the Netherlands back in September of 2010.
The first episode airs on February 10th at 11:00 PM KST.

SNSD‘s Tiffany gave a sweet response to the question, saying, “I want my SM family to be healthy, and I hope that everyone continues to cheer on and love SNSD and all the SM artists who have albums coming out in the fall.”
BoA replied, “I have more of a personal wish. I have a movie called ‘Cobu 3D‘ being released soon. “It’s currently in the editing process, but I hope that everything, including the editing, goes smoothly and that the movie can be announced to the public soon.”
