[10.12.20] Fan recap: Eric’s 18 Dec fanmeeting (Pt 2 of 2)

After this we get to see Eric the singer, and the MC asks him to perform parts from Shinhwa hits. She gets him to pick 3 numbers from a list of 10 songs displayed on a screen behind him. Because he can’t see what he chose he gets nervous and he runs over to the side table for a sip of water. He seems to drink waste whenever he gets nervous.

Eric chose No.4 which is ‘Brand New’, and he quickly performed his rap parts. Them he chose No.3, and a staff member carries a chair out, to the cheers of the fans. Expectedly ‘Wild Eyes’ starts playing. It’s my first time seeing Eric performing this dance live, I’m so excited! Pity he only did a short segment…

Then he chose No.8, which is ‘Only One’ but Eric can’t remember the steps. He seems really sorry about itbut the fans are still cheering like crazy. Shinhwa songs are really classics!

Then the screen starts to show the video messages from the members. First up is Hyesung, he congratulates Eric on completing his military service, and that he has just released a single with Eric, and asks the fans to give Eric their support…

Next up is Minwoo, with short hair, visibly slimmer and looking sharp. He also congratulates Eric and asks the fans to give Eric lots of love. He ends with a shoutout to Eric, “Eric, I love you! Haha…” Eric breaks out into a big embarrassed smile.

Next we have Dongwan, who’s all smiles. He says he wanted to come by, but he has something on, and asks for the fans to support Eric.

Then we have Junjin, wearing a cap, sporting stubble and slimmer too. He looks really mature. He also congratulates Eric, and says that he really misses everyone. He sounds really macho, so cool…

Pity Andy is in active duty and can’t do a video.

The MC asks Eric for his thoughts on the messages, he says, “I noticed something after watching the videos. Dongwan’s eyebrows are thinner now. I’m worried about what will happen to him later…” (hahahaha)

Everyone is dying of laughter. The MC then says to Eric, “If you’re so worried, why don’t you give some of your brows to him?” And he refuses to, haha.

Then 3 fans get to go onstage for a game. There is a spinning wheel and each number represents a task e.g. a hug, looking into each other’s eyes, photo taking. There are 10 numbers and No.0 is the best – all of the tasks!

The first fan actually got 0 and both Eric and the fan are shocked. After some negotiation they decide on a Titanic back hug, looking at each other and a photo together. Eric gets really shy standing behind the fan, nothing like how we see him in dramas, haha. And he only managed to look at the fan for one second before collapsing in laughter.

The second fan gets a gift from Eric, and he gives her his No. 1 copy of the black edition 9th album! The fan is ecstatic and tells him that her sister liked him first and she is going to shares the gift with her, so the MC gets her sister onstage too.

The third fan gets a hug and a photo.

Then Eric walks to the audience seating area and takes question from the audience.

Q1: How do you maintain your masculine charisma?
A1: Half of it is inmate, I picked up the other half from Minwoo.

Q2: You’re such a good actor, have you been receiving offers from Hollywood?
A2: In the past, yes. Not now.

Q3: When will Shinhwa make their comeback?
A3: Probably in another 2 years. By then Minwoo will be done with military service and we’ll start our preparations.

Then he goes to level 2. He’s really slim, with long legs and broad shoulders. His face is really small, with big eyes and an intense gaze. But his expression is really gentle.

Q4: Heard that both you and Hyesung have moved recently and now you’re next door neighbors? You two are actually very close, right?
A4: Yeah, actually we were living on different levels, and he refused to open the door when I went to look for him. Now we have moved, and he’s just next door. We’re closer now, and he’ll open the door when I knock.

Then he ended the fanmeeting with a handshake session.
