Ok this seems to be a recurring thing in most news articles when it comes to Minwoo’s age - some articles report his Korean age as 29 (i.e. born in 1980), but from what I remember reading, it’s because though he was born in 1979, his birth was only registered a year later… Anyone care to shed more light on this?
If they can’t come to us…we might just have to go to them… Besides, overseas plans for them seem to only include Japan and China anyway….. *bitter*
Shinhwa members and solo singers Lee Minwoo and Junjin are unlikely to be able to have any overseas activities in 2009.
Born in 1980, the two singers are due to enlist for military service next year, and due to this, overseas travel will be a problem.
According to military service laws, for all Korean males aged 25 and above who have yet to perform military service, they have to obtain permission from the Military Manpower Administration department. If they are aged 27 and above, other than emigration or other special reasons, they are not allowed to travel overseas.
For entertainers, although they can still travel overseas at 28 with the permission from the Military Manpower Administration department, it will be difficult for them to do so once they reach 29 years of age.
Firstly, for Junjin, he has the upcoming Japan filming for MBC’s Infinite Challenge early next year, and also a concert in Shanghai planned in February. Once he completes these, all overseas activities will come to a halt.
For Lee Minwoo, his overseas schedule has not been confirmed. His management company has said, “Although we have plans for overseas activities next year, but it seems to be hard to pull off. The Japan concerts held on 17/18 Dec might have been possibly the last of his overseas activities.”
