[07.12.10] [News] "Shinhwa will be back"


Before wrapping up their「2007 SHINHWA JAPAN TOUR」in Saitama on 9 Dec, Shinhwa attended a pre-concert press conference.

At the conference they reiterated, "This is not the end, Shinhwa will be back", emphasizing the fact that they are not disbanding and will be making a comeback.


For the repertoire for this concert, Shinhwa said, "This time we selected the songs based on what we believe the Japanese fans like and the songs that we wanted to sing. Next year we'll be celebrating our 10th anniversary, and since this concert is held after 1 year and 3 months since the last concert, we selected the repertoire based on the thought that this will be the last (before our enlistment)."

When asked about their distinctive hairdos, Eric who was sporting the especially unique Warrior style said with a smile, "The 6 of us have worked very hard for this long-awaited concert. So in order to complement the energetic nature of the concert, I decided to sport a very characteristic hairdo."


When asked if this would be the 'last', he said "We won't be able to have group activities together for at least 2, 3 years after we enlist, that's why we called it 'last' for now. Once all members have finished serving their military duties, Shinhwa will still embark on activities as a group."

They also talked about plans of the members for next year. Lee Minwoo, Shin Hyesung and Andy all have plans to release their new albums and hold concerts. Kim Dongwan is apparently going to release a new album too. Junjin will be more active in acting, while Eric said that he "wanted to take a rest to recharge" before selecting a script before spring for his next drama project.

Next year onwards, all members except Shin Hyesung will be enlisting one after another. They avoided talking at length about this during the press conference, but it seems that Dongwan will be the first to enlist next summer.

Let us look forward to the proud return of Shinhwa, whose members have stayed together for so long and who have managed to differentiate themselves from the others.
