Shinhwa held a '2007 Japan Tour Shinhwa Forever' press conference on 7 Dec at the VIP room at Tokyo's Pastoral Hotel.
"We strongly recommend dormitory living."
Shinhwa, who will be celebrating their 10th anniversary next year strongly recommends dormitory life to new idol groups.
When asked "as the longest running group who will be celebrating their 10th anniversary next year, what advice do you have for the younger idol groups?" To this the members said, "Dormitory living."
Lee Minwoo said, "Of course living in a dorm means that you must have a strict manager. When we were still trainees we were punished physically and beaten up before. But because we had such a scary manager, we were always on tenterhooks, and this made us even more united and allowed us to get to where we are today. When we were living in the dorm, if one of us got scolded, the other members would help to speak up. Many interesting things happened too. We hope that our juniors can get to experience this too. When we got scolded, we'd comfort each other; when we argue, we'd work things out, and competing against each other will help us to develop musically. These interesting memories is the reason that keep us going. Although the music we make are a little different from each other, but making music together has helped us a lot. Whenever we feel tired, the members will help each other out, that's why we're still together today. None of us has ever thought of trying to stand out among the rest, that's an important reason too.
Kim Dongwan also said, "Recently there are many new groups, not only the idol groups, they have to remember that being in a group is like being on the same boat. The boat will move forward if everyone is rowing, but the boat will steer from the original direction if only one person is rowing. Remember this and you will become a long-running group too."
