Having already caught the attention of K-pop fans through 'Boys Planet', he showcased his growth, raising expectations for his future endeavors.
In 'Boys 2 Planet', Tang Honghai flawlessly performed a variety of songs, including the signal song 'Hola Solar', TXT's 'I'll See You There Tomorrow', H1-KEY's 'Rose Blossom', and TVXQ's 'Rising Sun'.
