In an interview recently, male singer Kangta, ex-member of famous boyband HOT has been lavish with his praise for the same company junior boyband DBSG. He said that DBSG' real talent had overcome HOT when HOT were famous.

Kangta is a singer directly under SM and also a major shareholder of SM. HOT band of Kangta debut on 1996, 8 years earlier than DBSG. The appearance of HOT has raised a wave of establishing boyband in Kpop. And the appearance of DBSG in 2004 once again made Kpop create a trend of establishing idol boybands.

Kangta said "Famous band now such as Bigbang or DBSG are more excellent than us at that time. By comparing between DBGS and HOT at the same management company SM, we can realize the differences. For example, Jun Soo - the main vocalist of DBSG is much better than me at the old time. In addition, some people have doubts about their ability just because they have fame of an idol boyband; I think it's not fair".

Finally, Kangta has remembered about the old age of HOT "Now remembering that period, I feel that I’m dreaming. It’s a remarkable time. When people want to recall it, it feels like too far away.”
