Resurrection is the third Korean studio album by South Korean boy group H.O.T., released on September 25, 1998, through SM Entertainment. The album produced two singles that were promoted with music videos and live performances on music programs in South Korea: "Line Up!" and "Hope".
The album was commercially successful, selling over 1.1 million copies by 1999. "Line Up!" won the International Viewer's Choice Award for MTV Korea at the 1999 MTV Video Music Awards and "Hope" won the Grand Prize (Daesang) at the KBS Music Awards.
The members of the group began to self-compose songs for this record, with lyrics containing themes of criticisms of society, such as suicide and abortion.
"Hope" has been covered many times and has been routinely covered by all SM Entertainment artists at the end of SM Town concerts.[1] Other instances include on September 17, 2011, when Super Junior and Girls' Generation performed a cover of "Hope". At the 2018 MBC Gayo Daejejeon, the show ended with all performers singing a cover of the song.[2] AB6IX performed a cover of "Hope" on the 1000th Music Bank episode special on October 18, 2019.[3] On December 16, 2022, Le Sserafim covered it at the 2022 KBS Song Festival.[4]
"Hope" won the Grand Prize (Daesang) at the 1998 KBS Music Awards and Best Popular Song at the 1998 MBC Music Festival. "Line Up!" was voted the International Viewer's Choice for MTV Korea at the 1999 MTV Video Music Awards, winning with 38% of the vote.[5]
