------------ Naver news 2005.12.08
Like SM Entertainment’s Lee Soo Man raised H.O.T., and YG Entertainment’s Yang Kyun Suk raised Seven, Tony An has a dream of raising new artists. Will Tony An’s artists be able to become the ‘2nd H.O.T.’?
“I’m preparing both male and female singers. However, I don’t think they’re going to be doing styles like H.O.T.’s. Instead, I want to raise artists that can do music that I couldn’t do.”
Tony An states that the preparing singers need an attitude of sacrifice and ultimate vow to succeed. ---------------------------------------------------- Tony An, “I want to make a group with members like H.O.T.’s” Article Date: 12.2005
“I want to make a group like H.O.T.”
Tony An showed great love and friendship towards the former H.O.T. members.
Tony An, in his recently released special album ‘Behind the Clouds’, expressed his thankfulness to H.O.T. member Moon Hee Jun. ‘HeeJun, because you existed H.O.T. existed and today’s me exist. Be healthly…’
He also stated that he meets often with Kangta and they drink together and even go to noraebang (karaoke) together and sing old songs. Tony An, on Kangta, says, “The thing I’m proud of the most is his passion for music that’s never changing. That’s one thing that’s for sure.”
His friendship towards Jang Woo Hyuk is never changing as well. “His songs are great, and even though a lot of young singers with great charisma are on stage nowadays, I feel that our WooHyuk is the best.”
On the youngest Lee Jae Won…“He is a cool guy that finds what he loves the most and works on it.”
Tony An’s pride for the H.O.T. members was great.
“Normally, when a group splits, then one or two members fall into the wrong road or can’t get away from the past, but we don’t have that kind of a thing. We want to continue the old title and work harder at it. Because we don’t want to shame the band’s name, every single one of us live trying our best.”.
Tony An also expresses his desire to raise new singers as the president of TN Entertainment.
“We came to this position through many difficulties. I started an entertainment company so new singers can grow a little more comfortably.”
The new singers he wants to produce are people like ‘H.O.T. members’.
“Next year, I want to produce new singers. It’s not to receive tremendous profits or for business reasons. I want the new singers to do the type of music I can’t do. I want to show different types of music through new singers that are interested in many different genres, and through them I want to feel accomplished.”
And he revealed his dream that he had for a long time.
“If I have a dream, it’s to produce a group like H.O.T. To be exact, a group like ‘our members’. If there are new singers who have a mind set like our members, please come to TN.”

Just watched their video The first thing I thought of was "wow, this sounds reminiscently like a good '90s band" xD and now I know why. Oh Tony, you make me so happy sometimes. I kind of wish the song had more background music to it, but I'll wait to have a clear version from the cd to make any determinations 8D

A new group how exciting! : ) I think that they are great and I really want to know how old they are! I gotta love anyone who is named World and Naru! haha. I like them all though I still have to decide which one is my favorite. I hope that we will be able to get more information on them! While I was watching their video I was like Naru is to pretty to be a rapper! I love his hair and Hanbang's hair haha.

Tony Ahn created SMASH? Wow, I must really take a look at this group then. But certainly, Korean group members have the oddest names of all. Not that I'm complaining, but they have name clashes with other group members as well. :
This is their Never Ending Story MV with English sub. I noticed it when I was watching We Got Married and this song was promoted at the end of the show. I just thought it sounded good when I listened to it briefly. I am not feeling their other song, Emergency, though.

Nov 9 2008 10 55 AM
well since none of them own that name no big deal he can use that name as much as the other member of the other group do
i like neverending story although i dont dig the dance they did in that song looks too weird for me i like the concept of music box but...
their album is good i love all three songs in there it's nice

Here are some performance videos. All of them are Never Ending Story performances. I think they did live pretty well as newcomers, no off-key, no forgotten dance steps/lyrics. I love the music box chime at the beginning of the song, and the dance is very cute. Nevertheless, I think they still have room for improvement, though.
081014 MSC Smash Never Ending Story Special Performance This one has the loudest cheers, and Jung Shi Ah made an appearance. She looked kinda awkward though.
The first thing I thought of was "wow, this sounds reminiscently like a good '90s band" xD and now I know why. Oh Tony, you make me so happy sometimes. I kind of wish the song had more background music to it, but I'll wait to have a clear version from the cd to make any determinations 8D
LOVE LOVE LOVE SOO PRETTY !!!
