"Don't forget you're on the same boat."

Shinhwa, celebrating their 10th anniversary soon, has a piece of advice to offer to the juniors who want to call themselves the second Shinhwa.

Shinhwa will be celebrating their 10th anniversary on 24 March next year. SInce their debut in 1998 as an idol group, Shinhwa has released many hits including Hae Gyul Sah, Eusha Eusha, T.O.P, and Brand New, and has won the accolade of being Korea's longest running group.

Many idol groups, after being together for two or three years, would disband and establish their own solo careers. Shinhwa has stayed with fans all these years, never leaving their side. Shinhwa wants to tell their juniors, "Don't forget you're on the same boat."

Shinhwa held a 2007 JAPAN TOUR SHINHWA FOREVER press conference at Tokyo's Pastoral Hotel, and during the press conference they said, "Being in an idol group, there is no way for one person to row alone. Everyone has to row the boat together for the boat to stay on course. Thus the trust between members is very important."

They also said, "When any member is upset, other members will comfort them by gently hitting them. That's the kind of relationship we share, and that's why we can get to where we are today. That's why we say that everyone has to row the boat together to stay on course."

The Asian tour which brings Shinhwa to China and Japan is to celebrate their 10th anniversary. After their last concert in Osaka on 26 September this year, it has already been 1 year and 3 months. After the concert in Nagoya on the 6th, they will be performing in Saitama on the 8th and the 9th and on the 15th in Shanghai.

Next March, Shinhwa is preparing a large-scale event for their Korean fans. Eric, Kim Dongwan and other members will put up a good show for their fans before they enlist into the army.

Eric said," For the last concert for our Korean fans, we will put in every effort to show the best of us to everyone, we hope we won't disappoint anyone."
