[11.10.31] Andy, “Shinhwa activities will begin once Lee Minwoo and Junjin complete military service”

Shinhwa member Andy (Lee Seon Ho) shared upcoming plans regarding Shinhwa activities.

Completing his military obligations to the nation, Andy was officially discharged from the army on the morning of 31 Oct at the DEMA HQ in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. Choked with emotion, Andy shed tears while expressing his feelings about completing military service.

Andy said, “Once the final two members complete their military service, Shinhwa activities will begin. I think we’ll need to work a lot on dancing.” At the moment, Shin Hyesung, as well as Eric and Kim Dongwan who have already completed their military service, have already resumed their showbiz activities, while Junjin and Lee Minwoo will be discharged from military service in Nov 2011 and Feb 2012 respectively.

Prior to this other Shinhwa members had already talked about the pending reunion and group activities, and with Andy’s comments this time round, the fans are in full anticipation of what’s in store. Once Lee Minwoo completes his public service duties, we can expect to see Shinhwa on stage.

During their temporary hiatus, despite the fact that members were either fulfilling their military duties or other showbiz activities, their strong friendship bonds stayed the same and they were viewed as a model example for idols. For example, during his day off, Andy paid a visit to Eric on the set of his drama. Instances like this show that their affection for one another have not changed at all. Unfortunately the Shinhwa members were unable to show up for Andy’s discharge from military service. Instead, Teen Top, whom Andy produced for, turned up to congratulate Andy on his discharge.

Regarding this, Andy said, “Eric and the other members were unable to make it today but it’s ok. We’ve already arranged to meet up tonight.”

Moved by the warm reception from the many fans who turned up, Andy choked on his tears as he repeatedly thanked them.

[11.10.31] Andy, “My locker had photos of Teen Top instead of SNSD”

At about 8am on 31st Oct, Andy was officially discharged from military service at the DEMA HQ in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. Standing in front of the photo wall and facing his fans who had gathered to welcome him, Andy was momentarily choked with emotion and couldn’t speak. After Andy declared his discharge from military service, he was asked about his favorite girl group.

“As expected it was SNSD. When SNSD appears on TV the entire unit becomes noisy. But stuck in my locker were always photos of Teen Top instead of SNSD.”

He added with a laugh, “I have to thank Teen Top for doing so well. In order to monitor what kind of clothes they were wearing and what kind of poses they were striking, I stuck their photos in my locker. The seniors and the juniors looked at me and misunderstood me.”

Present today to congratulate Andy on his discharge were members of idol group Teen Top, holding placards that read “Andy Sarang (love)” and making heart gestures, cracking Andy up. In addition, more than 300 fans from Japan, Taiwan, China and other countries were waiting at the venue with orange balloons in their hands.

After his discharge, Andy will embark on a full-scale Asia tour from early December onwards, travelling to Taiwan, Japan, China and Thailand to fulfil his promise to the fans who have been waiting for him.
