Shinhwa – who were the first idols to release their own nude photobook in 2001 – had a heated debate on the topic of releasing another nude photobook.
For the ‘Speech Channel’ episode of Shinhwa Broadcast, the debate was part of the process to decide who among the Shinhwa members is the ‘God of Eloquence’. In a mission to test the debating skills of the members, the members were split into the proposition (Junjin, Dongwan, Hyesung) and the opposition (Eric, Andy, Minwoo), and had to debate on the topic “Shinhwa should release another nude photobook’.
As the rule was that whoever gets agitated will be declared the loser, the members had to keep their heart rates below 120 to be declared the winner. Caught off guard by the unexpected topic, both teams launched into a heated debate.
Kim Dongwan argued for the nude photobook, saying that “Our bodies are completely different from 13 years back.” (Note: I’m assuming he means that their bodies are.. better now? Hehe.) But Eric argued against the photobook, pointing to Shin Hyesung and saying, “That’s not an idol’s body.” He went on to add, “13 years ago when we shot the photobook, there was a lot of criticism about Shin Hyesung’s body.”
Shin Hyesung responded resentfully, “Back then there wasn’t even time to prepare and then I got kidnapped to Southeast Asia (for the shoot).”
With the discussion getting more intense, the members successively saw their heart rates rising above 120. Tune into jTBC on 26 May at 10.55pm KST to find out which member wins to become the ‘God of Eloquence’ on Shinhwa Broadcast.
