Editor's note

Kang Ta's quiet, steady solo catalog

The H.O.T. frontman built a solo catalog of gentle, melodic pop across the 2000s.

For the core sound, try 'Always' or 'Rainy Days'. 'Paralisys (mabee)' has that slightly moodier, early-2000s feel.

After H.O.T.'s disbandment, Kang Ta quietly established his own lane with songs like 'Always' and 'Paralisys (mabee)'. His solo work leans into softer, more introspective territory than his group's high-energy pop. The 2002 ballad 'Always' became a signature track, showing his knack for straightforward emotional delivery.

He released his first solo album 'Polaris' in 2001, followed by 'Pine Tree' in 2002. Later albums like 'Eternity' in 2008 and 'Home' in 2015 continued in that melodic, ballad-heavy vein.
