Moon Hee Jun

Moon Hee Jun
Was born March 14, 1978
Moon Hee-Joon (Korean: 문희준) is a South Korean musician formerly of the group H.O.T. «Alone» is the debut album of H.O.T.’s former member Moon Hee Jun. The music and the words of all the tracks in the album, except for «Ibyeori Animeul (이별이 아님을),» which was an adaptation of Auld Lang Syne, were written by Moon. He also created PS Entertainment after leaving SM Entertainment.
Before H.O.T. was disband in 2001, there were many detractors of Moon. It appeared that some overacting fanatics of H.O.T. made other people uncomfortable with the group. This became a significant social phenomenon in South Korea after Moon became a solo rock artist; uncountable parody pictures, texts, and musics of him flooded over the internet. Feeling that these were unfair insults, Moon once appealed for people to stop this in a newspaper interview, and the article about it on the web recorded more than 320,000 comments because of his detractors swarming on it, called seongjisullye(성지순례; literally means ‘pilgrimage’).
People who dislike Moon have expressed the following reasons:
* Beginning activities as a solo, Moon claimed that he was now a )rock musician. Since he was formerly an idol star of teenage girls, orthodox rock fans had opposed this.
* It is believed that Moon have said a lot of things quite impertinent; for example, «I’ve been working on my new album, eating only 3 cucumbers per day because rock is a music genre of hungry people». However, no obvious evidence for this remark have been discovered, thus it looks like a hoax made by his detractors
* When questioned about the color of his hair during mandatory Army draft, his explanation was «I’m an artist» in an attempt to keep his hair in the same manner it was even in the army.
In 2008, Moon Hee Jun returned from military duties, and in March 2008, he released his single Obsession.
