[08.05.30][News] DongWan, "As time goes by, SHINHWA became better"





KimDongWan, "As time goes by, SHINHWA too is getting better and better"

"To me SHINHWA is a charming group too"

10th years of debut under SHINHWA, to KimDongWan 'SHINHWA' had became part of his important spot in life. Recent he had accept an interview with SPN, KimDongWan said "Although while listening to it it's like a self praising, but without SHINHWA, KimDongWan will not be singing and acting like he wants now."

KimDongWan express "I have many ideas in mind, but there are not serious enough. I always have times of making the wrong decision" and continue "But no matter what i will still discuss with the members first then only make my own final decision."

He add on "The person who fulfil this loophole (his doubtness on decision) is Eric, Hyesung & Minwoo. With's Eric's ability in situation analytic, Hyesung will think of what other people will not thought off. Although MinWoo is a dongsaeng, but he can see the strenght of the whole forest than one tree itself. With 3 of their analytic, they can come out with a very good answer."

Under the same roof doing the process together too will have times of misleading. SHINHWA's debut period there were times when the members were having different decision/thought and sometimes they will have to solve it with a punch in hand. But as time goes by, the understanding between each member too became deeply written onto their soul, thus they had become 'brothers' now. Idol group's survivial are normally does not exceed more than 5 years, but SHINHWA's period of being together is 2 times of 5 years, and now they has became part of the legand in the music biz, and made their own top spot in the biz too.

KimDong Wan said "if there's a though of fixing/focus only onto solo activities then we will disband. The members placed SHINHWA related matters all up to their heart, and the group is much more important than anything else. The last concert we were making jokes among ourselves and said "Aint it charming/gorgeous?" at the same time drinking saying "Never disband" "Lets walk to the end together", now we are mixing with each other real well", KimDongWan smiled while saying this.

KimDongWan "Age 30, 10th years of debut, and enlistment... Looking the world in a clearer view slowly now"

With the name KimDongWan in SHINHWA... "The self soul searching process"


"Debuted for 10years and achieving what i have now suddenly became clear to me. I ideal image & the public's ideal image on me, there was once a diversation towards this, but now i had completely grab hold onto it."

After debut for 10 years, to an artist it is very late that he had learned to face everything calmly. Since debut he has been working hard and moving ful forward, to the people around him his current image is a very late image which he should have grab hold earlier. After through 10 years of battle, in the future he will adjust everything to become a better him.

KimDongwan although is one of the member of the legandary SHINHWA, but actually since debut he has been not satisfy on doing activities under the group. So he had made an early solo activities, acting in "Heaven's child, "Fibrillation Hear", "Goodbye Sadness" and so on other drama. But while runing acting activities and making a depletion he had suddenly feel even depress. So his new conclusion was to let himself an even more spacious time alone.

"Now to me everything needs even more time, an experience of daily life time. Although i did not accomplish many dramas/work but i still feel lack of this time period. Acting is important but if you does not own this 'reality' then it is hard for you to touches everybody's heart. (means needs time to develope yourself into the cast in able to understand your position in the plot drama)"

Although i have a 10 years experience with SHINHWA, but i debuted in an earlier period. From highschool period i had been working in the biz as a 'star child' and leading to a different life than a normal person, til now. So i have an incomplete of normal life experience comparing with the others.

Because of the stress given by the bos and went out to grab a drink, i have not experience this once at all. Because of this i can never act the reality out in my acting. So in the otherhand i am quite anticipating on my enlistment life. Enlisting is like a student life where you need to obey all the rules, and staying away from the biz, not being as an artist, back to the normal person KimDongWan.

Although after the enlistment there will be a different and much more topic to talk abut, but the recent release 2nd album "The Secret" is KimDongWan's last album before enlistment, is my solo 2nd album, so there will be a huge stress and burden towards it."

"Of course i had been distressed about it for quite some time. But my greed tell me that i should not thought it as my last work, because there is still SHINHWA, and with the name KimDongWan i should carry on. My dont have a high pitch voice so i am suitable with alot of kinds of music, it is also a chance for me to find my suitable set of color. In this album i had learn lots and lots of things."

He said that in this album production was to search for KimDongWan's time. Through this period a conclusion saying that KimDongwan will be getting ready for his enlistment, then will be going to Japan to make a refreshment and then only make his next preparation of decision.

"How i look towards onto my own 20s, i was not clear on how i was looking into my first solo album. After the solo album being release i became so lost that i did not know how to sing better in the song. In 20s with the name SHINHWA, and KimDongWan, what is suitable for me, i'm always troubled with this. One phrase, all these is too seek for a time of my self soul. I will carrying on my acitivities with this feeling, wearing an outfit which suits me and showing the real me out on stage."



KimDongWan "Marriage... would like to hold one quickly"



Not long ago in a broadcast he had revealed his ideal female "Through experience, i hope it's a girl with bloody type A". Lee Hyori replied through the interview and said "Aint it me?".

Related staff questioned KimDongWAn "How if Hyori being your girlfriend?" and he answer "She's a nice girl" "But to me Hyori has been a friend for quite a long period, our friendship has been stabled, so there isnt any thought of exceeding more than our current friendship."

Addition he was being question "When will you get married?" , and he replied "If there's any progress anytime will be possible, but i hope it will be soon", and continue "Because i'm a christian so i hope my partner too is as same as me."

KimDongWan is currently running his 2nd solo album activity with his hit song "Secret". KimDongWan will be enlisting for 2 years military service after his solo activities ended.
