Shinhwa member Kim Dongwan has successfully transformed himself from a dance group member of the longest-running pop group to an actor. In his relatively short acting career, he had a turning point, which was his first movie "Spin Kick". Kim Dongwan said that this was a turning point for him because the movie bombed at the box office. Only 60,000 people watched the movie and was taken down shortly after its release. Kim Dongwan was very upset, and started to smoke again. During an interview, he said, "That was the lowest point of my acting career. The only thing I could do was to console myself. But I felt that as an actor, damaging my own body and mind would just plunge me even lower." Thus, he got back on his feet, and appeared in "Goodbye Sadness". The drama was a hit with ratings reaching more than 30%.
Dongwan's fellow Shinhwa member Eric has also stepped into the field of acting. He lists his first drama "Breathless" as his turning point. Eric said that's because prior to that he felt useless. As part of Shinhwa, he had been accustomed to the limelight and life as a group. For him to take up acting by himself, he was under severe pressure. He said that when he went to the set for the first time, he was pale, and he was so nervous and worried that his thumping heartbeat could be heard through the microphone. Although it was difficult, he managed to show his potential as an actor. Later his strong acting skills came as a pleasant surprise for many in "Phoenix". As the actor Mun Jung Hyuk, Eric is firmly in the spotlight once again.
