kangta is a singer, composer, and songwriter and was once member of the legendary korean boyband H.O.T. when the band decided to break up last 2001, kangta surprised the public when he continued as a solo artist on the same year. polaris was his very first single as a solo artist and it became an instant hit.
as you can see in the pictures, he looks very very similar to siwon of super junior (both are from the same company, SM Entertainment by the way). too bad the fans won't be seeing much of him as he is serving the army as of april of last year.
enjoy the live performance of this wonderful vocalist with polaris performed live in 2006.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Are you okay I wonder if you're weak from my thoughts Although that is not possible
Like a fool, I am still insufficient I lack too much to forget you
Because of the memories you left with me I am living on somehow but
I worried alot
Thinking that the image of myself in pain would be a burden to you
I prayed that we wouldn't bump into each other even for a moment
But why is it that I miss you many times a day
I'm sorry Forgive me
I tried to look okay from the news I sometimes heard about you
But still, like the regret left in me, your everything is so special
Our memories that I had to bear with wearily..
is no longer by my side
I prayed that we wouldn't bump into each other even for a moment
But why is it that I miss you many times a day
I'm sorry Forgive me
If we could bump into each other for just a moment, I would confess
that I feel like going crazy many times a day because I miss you..
that I love you, forever...

KOREAN
괜찮은 건지 혹시 내 생각에 힘겹진 않은지 그럴 리 없겠지만
바보같은 난 아직도 많이 모자라 널 잊기엔 많이 부족해
니가 주고간 우리 추억 때문에 어떻게든 나 살아가곤 있지만
많이 아파 했었던 내 모습이 혹시 너에게 짐이 된건 아닌지
많이 걱정 했었어
아주 잠시라도 우리 마주치지 않도록 나 기도했는데
하루에도 난 몇번씩 왜 보고싶어 지치는 건지
미안해 용서해 줘
가끔식 내게 들리는 네 소식에 그토록 난 괜찮은 척 애써보지만
아직도 내겐 남아있는 미련처럼 너의 모든게 너무 소중해
이제 더이상.. 힘겹게 참아야만 했던 우리 모든 추억도
내곁엔 없는거야
아주 잠시라도 우리 마주치지 않도록 나 기도했는데
하루에도 난 몇번식 왜 보고싶어 지치는 건지
미안해 용서해 줘
아주 잠시라도 우리 마주칠 수 있다면 나 고백할텐데
하루에도 난 몇번씩 보고싶어 미칠 것 같다고
사랑한다고 영원토록

However I think they disbanded sometime 2007 as the lead singer Jisun (who I think has a very unique voice!). Jisun released her album I think early this year and it was called The Mermaid… Comes Back Home. One of the songs from the album is called Annyeong maeuma (Goodbye My Heart). I fell in love with the song when I saw the video on Pops in Seoul. Its a little late for me to post this but I’m posting it anyway! Hope you like it.
