[08.03.19][news] Shinhwa transforms into Mexican mobsters


Shinhwa - celebrating their 10th anniversary this year - says that whether it's then or now, they are still the same and that "we might feel upset during the concert."

Top group Shinhwa who will be celebrating their 10th anniversary on 24 March, shared their thoughts with us 5 days before the momentous day.

Shinhwa was shooting the MV for their 9th album near Hwaseong in Gyeonggi-do on 19th March, and shared their sentiments about their upcoming 10th anniversary and about being the longest-running idol group in Korean pop history.

Kim Dongwan said, "This is probably the last MV that all the members will be filming together before we enlist into the army. Now we can laugh heartily and enjoy the shoot, but we probably might feel sad standing on the stage during the last concert."

Shinhwa will be holding their ‘SHINHWA 10th Anniversary live in Seoul’ concert on 29th and 30th March, at 6pm and 5pm respectively at Seoul's Olympic Park, and they are preparing to give the fans a most memorable and meaningful meeting before army enlistment.

Junjin said, "From our debut til now, we've always been working very hard, and although there's a lot of pressure to keep saying that it's already been 10 years since we made our debut, but we all feel very contented. The thought of having to send the hyungs off to the army makes me feel very sad though." Eric added, "We're proud of being the longest-running idol group."

On location at the filming held over 18 and 19 March, Shinhwa transforms into Mexican mobsters, and there are spectacular action scenes featuring the members facing off against an enemy mobster gang.

In order to portray the images of Mexican mobsters, Shinhwa members were styled with ponytails, pointed leather shoes and moustaches - vastly different from their image in the past - making the MV very highly anticipated.

Andy, Shinhwa's youngest member who just had a successful solo debut, said "It's been 10 years, and all of us are good friends. Whether it's during our debut, or now, it still feels the same. I really like this feeling of staying the same throughout."

Shinhwa will throw themselves into the preparation for the concert after finishing the MV shoot, and release their 9th album next month.
