[08.09.06][news] MW & JJ, "Please wait for Shinhwa's 20th anniv. concert."

Q: Jun Jin you recently celebrated your 28th birthday, how does it feel to be 28?
(JJ) Before, I was afraid of getting older but as I approach 30. I've been hearing that "30 is just the beginning". Now I want to be 30 soon.

Q: It looked like you received a lot of presents, of all the presents you have ever received, were there any ones difficult to accept?

(M) I once received a cushion in the shape of women's chest. I remeber not knowing what to do with that.

(JJ) A fan sent me a letter with an envelope with money. With gratitude I accepted her good intentions and letter but returned the money.

Q: It's been 10 years since (Shinhwa's) debut. Members will be going to serve in the army and many things are changing. What are Shinhwa's future goals?

(JJ) Personally, I would like to continue to do both singing and acting. Working hard as I do now. In the future, I would like to see Shinhwa having 15th and 20th anniversary concerts. I wish those times would come soon.

(M) A promise was made to fans and we won't make them sad or dissappointed. Not only Korean fans but all the Asian fans, we love them like a family united in Shinhwa. That's what we would like.

Shinhwa's Min Woo, "I will repay all the love and support I have received."

Q: After the 10th anniversary, what is it that you want to say to yourself as well as to each other?

(M) To myself, I want to say, "don't change". All the people that have made it possible for me to be here, friends and fans will not be forgotten. I'm grateful to everyone. This is what I would like to say to Jun Jin, "don't get shaken but love yourself". We will always be in it together. I would like to see Jun Jin find a secure spot for himself.

(JJ) To myself, "let's not forget the beginning". When I was young, I didn't know anything and just worked hard but now as I am no longer young and thinking gets more complicated. I realized that without resting and being able to work continuously is happines.

To Min Woo hyung, "don't get shaken but love yourself", me too..(laugh)..just joking. Soon your album will come out so please take care of your health and I hope to see always your smiling face. I only have you hyung. I want to tell you that I really love you.

Q: Last words you want to leave for your Japanese fans?
(JJ) I was worried about how I can come to see you (the Japanese fans) now that Shinhwa activities have ceased for the time being. However, to see so many of you who came here for this event has made me very happy. If I came alone it would have been a bit lonely and harder but I'm so glad that Min Woo hyung could be with me. Fans, I will not forget the precious promise I made.
I ask that you please remember that I am doing my solo activities. As I said in the event, if you would like I would even come to the countryside to see you. I love you all. In September, Min Woo hyung's album will be released and will have performances in Seoul. Hope to see Japanese fans there.

(M) It's been some time that I have been able to see so many fans like this so I was really happy. If the way things were today remain unchanged, I would be pleased. Little by little, (the fans) feel like family and I feel you are becoming more precious to me. Always I will try to pay back to the fans all the love and support I have received.

Soon, the album will be coming out so I ask you to anticipate it's release. In September, Jun Jin will have concerts in Seoul then in December, we plan to have a joint concert in Japan. Before entering the army, this will be the last even in Japan so if many can attend then that would make me happy. Please be healthy and I love you all.

Although the event ended, these 2 didn't look tired and smiled answering every question sincerely. It's evident that these 2 over the past 10 years have built a solid level of trust in each other.
