    To be a 90’s K-pop group, your name had to be an acronym of some sort.  Half the time it didn’t make sense.  Girls, your hair was colored.  NO EXCEPTIONS.  Guys, your hair was spiked and banged.  Colored too.  NO EXCEPTIONS. Today’s flashback friday/throwback thursday song comes courtesy of H.O.T. (Highfive of Teenager.  No seriously,…
