For 6-member group Shinhwa and 4-member group Fin.K.L, 2008 is a very special year for them. This is because 2008 marks the 10th anniversary of their debut, and all the members have achieved success and still remain very active in their careers, be it in terms of solo singing, acting and MC.
Both Shinhwa and Fin.K.L have been very popular since their debut in 2008. From then till now, all the members have branched out in all fields of the entertainment world. Just based on this alone, Shinhwa has been given the title of longest-running group as well as the "role model" for all idol groups.
Eric, Shin Hyesung, Lee Minwoo, Kim Dongwan, Junjin and Andy started out young, between the ages of 18-20 years old, and are acknowledged as the longest-running idol group in Korea.
After their debut, they have released 8 albums without any change of members, and will be releasing their brand new 9th album on 24 March 2008, their 10th anniversary. Shinhwa differs from other idol groups in this aspect because their strong bonds of friendship and courage have held them together for the past 10 years.
Shinhwa's strongest rivals after their debut were popular groups H.O.T and Sechskies, but this only served to motivate them to practise and work even harder. In the process, this further deepened the members' friendship.
Shinhwa members have said at various interviews that, "although there are times that we fight among ourselves, but these arguments have made us understand each other even more, as long as we find out the cause of the problem and clarify the misunderstanding." This is another reason that the group has survived this long.
Some Shinhwa members are scheduled to enlist into the army this year, but industry sources and fans all believe that Shinhwa is unlikely to split up due to their strong friendship.
Besides in the past 10 years, Shinhwa members have started their own careers such as acting (Eric, Kim Dongwan, Lee Minwoo, Junjin and Andy) and solo singing (Lee Minwoo, Shin Hyesung, Junjin, Kim Dongwan, Andy) during Shinhwa's rest periods. The strategy of "staying together while being apart" has been a good way to motivate them to excel in both group and solo activities.
