A highly regarded legendary K-pop idol will be celebrating the lunar new year on Chinese TV next month.
Kangta (Ahn Chil Hyun), a member of the '90s K-pop boy band H.O.T, will be appearing on the most-watched Chinese entertainment show next month, reports The Korea Times.
Kangta will be singing a duet with Lynn Hung on the 2016 CCTV New Year's Gala (Chunwan), which is set to air on February 7.
Kangta has been resurging in popularity amid news of his upcoming album release and concert appearances with fellow H.O.T member Moon Hee Joon.
On Jan. 16, Kangta revealed in an interview that he is working on a new album that will not only mark the 20th anniversary of his debut as part of H.O.T back in 1996, but also feature collaborations with older and younger idols.
Kangta's new album is highly anticipated since he has not released any new music since his last Korean studio album Eternity, which dropped in 2008.
There have also been reports coming out that Kangta and the rest of H.O.T will be reuniting for their 20th debut anniversary.
At the very least, Kangta and Moon Hee Joon will be reuniting, their first time to do so since the group disbanded in 2001. Moon Hee Joon will be staging a series of concerts in Seoul and Kangta is set to join him on stage.
