[08.07.25][news] Junjin, Andy evenly matched in popularity on variety shows


Shinhwa's two youngest members Junjin and Andy have become the new stars of the variety show circuit. Through their appearances on various variety shows, Junjin and Andy are now riding yet another wave of popularity. Though Andy has had a headstart in this field, Junjin has quickly caught up as well.


"The Guy Who Just Rolled In" Junjin takes to Infinity Challenge like a fish to water

Thanks to Infinity Challenge, Junjin has started to attract attention on the variety show circuit. Previously on the 21 June episode on MBC's Infinity Challenge Money Bag Special, Junjin made an impressive appearance as a replacement for original IC member Haha who's currently serving his military duties.

Initially Junjin was a little awkward, but he quickly adapted very well to the show as an IC member. Viewers have also commented that Junjin would fare very well as the 7th member of Infinity Challenge. He even got chosen as the kingka (handsome guy) with the best butt on MBC's Infinity Girls, a title he truly deserves.

On Infinity Challenge, Junjin was nicknamed Junstin Jinberlake, a name that arose from girl group SNSD and has since become a running joke among his fans. As Junstin Jinberlake, Junjin continues on his unstoppable course and is even scheduled to travel with the rest of the Infinity Challenge team to Beijing for the Olympic Special.

On top of this, Junjin has also been selected as one of the MCs for Yashim Manman Season 2. With his good looks and buff body, Junjin is guaranteed to gain the favour of the viewers with his unique brand of humor.


"An-Sobang" Romantic husband Andy wins the hearts of female viewers

Andy hasn't been particularly outstanding in Shinhwa, and even in his 10th year with Shinhwa he hasn't had any opportunity to shine. Coupled with his rather introverted personality, it is even harder to stand out compared to the other more eloquent members. However after he embarked on his solo activities this year, he has come to prove himself.

Andy had released his first solo album early this year, and his title track Love Song had earned him enough popularity to warrant a regular spot on MBC's We Got Married.

On the show, Andy plays husband to his reel wife Solbi, playing out an interesting love story. Working hard to prepare a meal with his impressive culinary skills, occasionally preparing romantic events for his "wife", Andy's thoughtful and sensitive side has earned him nicknames such as "An-sobang" and "Romantic Guy". His females fans have all fallen under his charms.

Andy, whose real personality the public hasn't managed to see, has benefited a great deal from his appearance on the semi-reality show.
