[08.03.19][news] Shinhwa's friendship burns up the fields



"The moment I shout Action, just keep on shooting, and screaming AH~!"

According to Director Song Won Young's instructions, the 5 Shinhwa members, standing between the two cars strewn with flour, started opening fire non-stop. Only Eric, hiding among the crew wearing shades, stood there laughing at the members.

Shinhwa members were shooting the MV for their soon-to-be-released 9th album on the afternoon of the 19th. The album is expected to be released in early April.

The scene for today was, the 5 members had to rescue Eric who was being held hostage by the rival gang. The overall concept is the strong friendship betweent the 6 members that can withstand the toughest of all crises. The Uzbekistan actors who were playing the roles of the rival gangmebers were laughing as they saw the members' performances. Eric, who learnt Spanish back in high school, greeted them in Spanish, but the foreigners laughed and told him in Korean, "Hyung, please speak Korean".

At the filmsite, the members were like 5-year-old kids playing around. Minwoo held on to Andy's neck and pretended to shoot him, while Andy was amazingly good at pretending to die.

In between scenes, the members said "Although it's been 10 years, it only feels like a short storm has passed. We have to thank each other for staying the same and getting through these 10 years together."

Andy added, "When the 6 members get together, it's the same whether it was 10 years ago or now." Eric, who often plays the role of rescuer in movies and MVs, talked about playing the role of a hostage, "When the members are all filming seriously, I get to rest and that feels good."

With the release of the album, Shinhwa will also be holding their 10th anniversary concert on 29th and 30th March at Seoul's Olympic Park. That will be followed by their solo activities. Kim Dongwan is scheduled to release his 2nd solo album on 10th April, Lee Minwoo is planning to hold concerts in the US and Shanghai, as well as prepare to release "exciting new music" this summer. Eric is also more likely to act in a new drama as opposed to releasing a solo album.

The members commented, "In another 10 years' time we should all be married. We'll still be together then. If we could go back to 10 years ago, we'd still choose to be Shinhwa."
