Sometimes, a group looks like they have it all, and still don’t make it as big as they expected. You can have all the right connections, be incredibly talented, and have everything in place on paper and still not blow up. Such was the case for boy group HOTSHOT. The group was well prepared for their debut, had lots of friends and connections to the industry, and were experienced with competition shows, yet their legacy is not quite as large as one would have expected for their seven years of activity.The group debuted in 2014 with the single “Take a Shot” under Star Crew Entertainment. They released a few albums in both Korea and Japan, but other activities meant the group wouldn’t release as much music as other groups who had been around as long.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9s2N7d2aLYThe group was incredibly well prepared for their debut. Almost all of the members had experience within the K-pop industry before their debut with HOTSHOT. Timoteo was originally a trainee with SM and was planned to debut as part of EXO. Nah Tae Hyun was a part of several dance crews, and even had the opportunity of teaching some of his moves to Taeyang from BIGBANG! The other three members also had experience in several different fields that helped boost the group all around, and the group made a statement when they first debuted.Secondly, the group had lots of experience with survival shows. Although many groups are founded thanks to survival shows, these guys were seasoned veterans of this kind of attention and competition. Members of HOTSHOT competed, at some point, on The Unit, Produce 101, and Superstar K2. each of them left these shows having made a statement such as an A-rank or 90% audience scores. These guys knew how to please a crowd.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oy7gVWBY1P0Lastly, the members of HOTSHOT were and still are well connected to the rest of the K-pop world. There are countless photos of the members spending time with other idols. Some of these were idols debuting around the same time or through similar programs, but others were people they met at other functions. Timoteo is friends with SHINee’s Taemin and EXO’s Kai, and that friend group also has close ties to Jimin from BTS. Other members are friends with members of VIXX, Super Junior, MONSTA X, FTISLAND, Girl’s Day, and more! These connections certainly helped them find a place in a cutthroat environment.Unfortunately, all these strengths couldn’t keep the group afloat, and in 2021, HOTSHOT announced they were disbanding. This announcement wasn’t much of a surprise to most fans, as the general consensus online seemed to be disappointment, but understanding. The writing had been on the wall for a few years at that point. The members have all followed their own paths afterwards, with some joining other groups, some debuting solo, and a few with rumored acting careers in the works.
