[08.02.16][news] The Wonder Girls are Eric's favorite junior singers


Shinhwa's Eric said that his favourite junior singers are the group Wonder Girls.

Eric appeared on MBC's Section TV on Feb 15, and talked about what he has been doing lately, "Now I'm enjoying my break, and also watching the activities of the members on TV."

When asked "Recently there have been many junior singers who are very active, who is your favourite?" Eric answered without hesitation, "Wonder Girls. I really like "Tell Me", and So-Hee's very cute."

In this episode, Andy also made an appearance, saying that "Eric is only the older brother in terms of age. His actual mental age is only 18. Sometimes it seems like I'm the older brother."

Kim Dongwan's revelation of Eric being the reason why Shinhwa has stayed together for 10 years has become a hot topic of late.

Kim Dongwan revealed on a program, "Shinhwa started out as an idol group, and the reason we're where we are today is because of compromise and the understanding between each other. When we were renewing our contract, Eric was the most popular among us then, and he was offered a higher contract fee than the rest of the members. Although many companies offered him an opportunity to go solo and high contract fees, he turned them down, choosing instead to remain part of Shinhwa." From this, the strong bonds of friendship between the Shinhwa members can clearly be seen.

Eric said at the end of the interview, "I'll be working on Shinhwa's 10th anniversary concert soon", when asked about his upcoming plans. Shinhwa will be holding their《SHINHWA 10th Anniversary live in Seoul》concert at 6pm on 29 March and 5pm on 30 March at Seoul's Olympic Park Gymnasium.
