History

All four members of this band were former dancers who were used as back-up dancers for many singers. Hijack was the first boy band of RS Promotion.[1]

The band released two studio albums in 1992 and 1993, and a one-off special album with the Raptor.

While promoting the release of their third studio album, band member Phi–Phiraphan seriously injured their foot. Because of this they decided to eventually split up.[2]

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.[3]

In 2017 Hijack has reunion in Por Lor Ruk Lae Kid Tung (ปล. รักและคิดถึง) as part of A-pop Bunterng 34 TV Program on Amarin TV channel [4]
