Hijack (Thai: ไฮแจ็ค) was a Thai boy band famous and popular in the 1990s under RS Promotion. They are the first boy band of RS label.
All four members of this band were former dancers who were used as back-up dancers for many singers. Even as dancers for Christina Aguilar, a famous singer from Grammy Entertainment, the label that was a major competitor of RS, in a performance during the half-time of the Miss Thailand pageant at Sofitel Centara Grand Bangkok in 1991.[1] Hijack was the first boy band of RS Promotion.[2]
The band released two studio albums in 1993 and 1994, and a one-off special album with the Raptor.
While promoting the release of their third studio album, band member Phi–Phiraphan seriously injured his foot. Because of this they decided to eventually split up.[3]
During their most famous period Hijack had been interviewed by two foreign media companies; NHK of Japan and Singapore MTV. They were compared with Shonentai, the famous Japanese boy band of the same period.[4]
