[08.07.14][news] Eric loses 5kg while filming

While filming the KBS2 drama Strongest Chil Woo, Mun Jung Hyuk has already lost 5kg in the midst of the sweltering heat.

The reason for his rapid weight loss is the hot weather, making the film set no different from a sauna, filming action scenes in the hot summer weather, wearing thick costumes.

A crew member said, "The filming has caused his unintentional weight loss due to the heat, with the many action scenes that he has to film in this weather. In fact, he would lose weight even if he was just standing there and not moving."

He also added that Eric keeps the heat away with a large pink fan that he has had with him since filming of the drama began.

It's not just Eric, but Jeon Noh Min, who plays Min Seung Kook on the drama, also carries food around with him to replenish his energy. The other actors are also trying to search for ways to beat the heat.

Strongest Chil Woo will begin to unravel the mystery of Crown Prince Seo Hyun's death. Episode 9 shows on 14 July.

Shinhwa Soulmate concert

Hi everyone
This is The Star Company.

On 9 August at 7.30pm, Shinhwa members Shin Hyesung, Lee Minwoo, Kim Dongwan, Junjin and Eric will be presenting Shinhwa's "Search For A Beautiful Face, Soulmate Concert", on a specially built stage at Seoul's Olympic Park.

Firstly, as the organizer of the Soulmate concert, we hereby apologize for the inconvenience and unhappiness caused by the cancellation of the concert originally planned for June.

After the spectacular end to the 10th anniversary concert on 29/30 March, Shinhwa members were prepared to hold the Soulmate concert in June in aid of 8-year-old Ga In. However due to the Sichuan earthquake and also the fact that it coincided with the examination period in Korea, many fans expressed their regret at being unable to attend the concert. Thus we have postponed the concert to 9 August, making it yet another meaningful gatherinf for the Shinhwa members.

Shin Hyesung, who had released his 2nd solo album and held a solo concert; Lee Minwoo, who has just held a successful concert in China; Kim Dongwan, who has just made a comeback with his new title track Bi Mil; Junjin, who is now in the midst of the promotional activities for his 1st solo album; and Eric, who is currently filming Strongest Chil Woo, will all be presenting never-see-before solo performances. This concert will see all Shinhwa members putting up performances with their own unique and distinct characteristics.

(Andy will be unable to attend due to other work commitments)

In addition, although Eric has been busy filming the drama Strongest Chil Woo, but he will still join his fellow Shinhwa members in this charity event and have a special meeting with the fans.

Shin Hyesung, Lee Minwoo, Kim Dongwan, Junjin and Eric have decided to hold the meaningful Soulmate concert in order to help little Ga-In find her smile back, and this will also be a good opportunity to see the Shinhwa members together on stage. We hope fans will show their support.

Ticketing details for the concert will be made available at a later date.

1. Concert title: Shinhwa - Search for A Beautiful Face, Soulmate Concert
2. Date: 9 August 2008 (Sat) 7.30pm (1 show only)
3. Venue: Seoul Olympic Park, 88 Lawn Garden

일단 에릭씨 퓨처링한곡은 노래가 아니라 1분30초짜리 스킷이였습니다. 곡수가 많아지면서 어쩔수없이 빠지게 됐습니다.
Firstly, eric's featuring song, because the track is only 1 minute 30seconds long. And there's so many tracks in the list, so i had no choice but to take it off.

하지만, 다른 어떤방법으로든 여러분들께 공개를 할 예정이오니 너무 서운해하지마시구요
But, i will release it out to everybody in a different way, so it wont be regret/dont be upset.

[08.07.11] [news] Eric: Andy and Solbi, haven't been on good terms lately

Eric has disclosed some insider details about the Andy-Solbi couple from We Got Married.

Currently in the midst of filming KBS2 drama Strongest Chil Woo, Eric said in an online interview with KBS announcer Han Seok Joon, "Andy and Solbi haven't been on good terms lately. It will be good if the two of them could make up." He also added that he'd rather watch the show than to appear on it.

He did not elaborate on the reasons for the falling out between Andy and Solbi.

Eric continued, "Andy isn't thinking of marriage just yet. It seems like Hyesung is the one who's thinking of getting married first, because he's very lonely."

"I'm not getting any younger either. I'll seriously consider a relationship when I complete my military service."

Eric, who will be enlisting for military service in September, emphasized that Shinhwa members will fulfill their promise of holding another concert together in 4 years' time.

[08.07.11][news] Junjin: 10 years since my debut, still feels like when I just started out

Displaying ease and confidence, he said, "With the schedule being so packed, it's hard even to have 2 rest days in a month." At the same time, his face shows vitality. Shinhwa member Junjin (Park Choong Jae, 28) is in the midst of the promotional activities for his 1st solo album, released in May. Appearing in several programmes and sharing many self-discovery moments, he seems to have understood the philosophies of life in his 10-year career.

Smiling back at his difficult past
Displaying his talent as an entertainer in Infinity Challenge
The desire to become an MC at least once

"I feel happier now that I have a goal. I used to be have a very passive attitude towards things, but I tend to feel that these things are things I have to do. And this helps me when I appear on programmes. Perhaps the happiness is coming from within, that's why the fans can feel it too."

Recently he appeared on MBC's Golden Fishery, and he candidly talked about his difficult childhood, and even talked about his hopes of building a home for his father and his family, "If I could say everything that I have kept inside me for the last 10 years, I'll feel much better."

"Everyone faces difficulties and obstacles, don't they? As tough as they are, when you look back, it's those experiences that make me laugh more heartily now."

With his extraordinary dancing skills, he made his debut with Shinhwa in his teens. After that he also appeared in Nonstop 4, Gumiho, Banjun dramas, Let's Go to The Beach and other variety shows. Recently he apeeared on Infinity Challenge, and has proved himself to be worthy to be called a multi-entertainer.

"Honestly, I'm a little embarrassed to be called a multi-entertainer. Or I should say that I still need to work hard to become one. I like new challenges, and I hope to become an MC. I've been observing MC Yoo Jae Suk during the times I'm on his shows. (laughs)*

He thinks about his fellow Shinhwa members while he's on his solo stint as well, as he believes that there would have been no Junjin without Shinhwa. Whether it's Andy on We Got Married, or Eric on Strongest Chil Woo, he has been watching the shows religiously.

"In these 10 years, the reason behind how we have stayed together for so long, is the balance between our solo and group activities. The bond of trust and reliance between us, I guess we can say that."

Particularly in 2004 when they won the Daesang, the moment where they all hugged each other tightly with tears in their eyes is a moment that he will never forget.

Currently preparing for his repackaged album next month, he said, "Although I've been a singer for 10 years, but I still take on the challenges as if I'm still a rookie."

"I will not only do my best according to my principles, but I will continue working on both acting and singing. I want to become an MC at least one, so that I can bring happiness to everyone."

[08.07.10][news] Presales for Polaroid takes top spot on Interpark

Having just ended the promotion for his solo album, and recently gaining much popularity for his appearance on We Got Married, Andy is also becoming hot property in the musical world.

The presales for the musical Polaroid, featuring Andy, has started since 9 July at 5pm, and has rose to the top of the presales chart on Interpark within hours, particularly presales for the specific performances featuring Andy has even beaten sales for Chicago and Cats.

Having the presales of a local musical in a small venue top the presales chart is very uncommon, and Andy has further proven that he's a box-office draw after last year's Music In My Heart.

Polaroid tells of how love, like a Polaroid picture, can only be captured once. Andy plays Jung Ho, who stays by the side of the woman he loves and protecting her while waiting for her to come to him.

The musical will premiere at the PMC Freedom Theatre at Daehangno. Andy will start making his appearance from 3 August onwards.

Although Shinhwa has been around for 10 years, but Kim Dongwan has only made his solo debut 1 year ago. He has released 2 solo albums within a year, but as he has to enlist for military service soon, he hopes to leave the fans with something before he goes. Thus, he has decided on a solo concert.

Though the dates are not confirmed, there are plans for the concert to be held on 20 and 21 September, after Chuseok.

This concert will see him performing some 20 songs from his solo albums, all rearranged to show a different side of Kim Dongwan to the fans, not as a Shinhwa member, but as the solo singer Kim Dongwan. This will be the last concert before he enlists for military service, and it will hold extraordinary significance to him.

A source close to him said, "His passion for the concert is greater than ever, and he hopes to be able to present the image of the solo singer Kim Dongwan to the fans through the concert."

Junjin has revealed on KBS2's Happy Together Season 3 that his father Charlie Park used to be called "Steven Seagal" in their neighbourhood, wearing his leather jacket and boots with a samurai hairstyle.

He said, "My father looks cool on the exterior, but he is in fact really strickt. We have a curfew of 11pm at home. There was once I went back after 11pm, and I almost couldn't breathe when I saw him waiting for me along the road."

"I held my breath as I walked over, and my father suddenly whipped out a metal pole from his sleeve and said, 'Aren't you late? Aren't you wrong? If you don't want to get hit just block my blows', and started to hit me. I defensively blocked the blows out of instinct, because I had been trained by my father to defend myself in fights since I was young."

"After I blocked the blows, he continued to hit me, but with an expression that seemed to say 'you've learnt well' ".

This episode will be aired on 10 July.

But I read from an account from one of the fans who went, that Eric couldn't bend over to get the food from the table and instead had to take a wide stride forward to reach the food on the table....I think we all know why *

Thanks to lead actor Mun Jung Hyuk, the production crew of the KBS2 drama Strongest Chil Woo enjoyed a sumptuous meal courtesy of his fanclub.

On 6 July, more than 100 members of Eric's fanclub made a visit to the set of the drama, and arranged for a buffet meal for the staff and crew members. Besides the Korean fans, fans from Japan, China, Taiwan and other Asian countries were also present. On top of the food, they also brought along handmade gifts like towels and fans with the Strongest Chil Woo logo imprinted on them.

Expressing his gratitude, Eric said, "I'm always very grateful to the fans for their support, and because of their support we'll work harder to make Strongest Chil Woo an even better drama." He also took time out from his filming schedule to take photos with the fans and brought them around the set.

The crew were pleasantly surprised, "If only it was like this everyday. We all get tired easily working in this heat, and Eric himself gets the strength to carry on with the support of the fans."

The ratings for Strongest Chil Woo have been increasing with the fans' support, garnering 11.4% for Episode 7 shown on 7 July, taking 2nd place among the Mon-Tues dramas, after Gourmet with ratings of 17%.

[08.07.07][news] Andy and Solbi's real kiss becomes hot topic of discussion

The 100-day couple wedding shoot for MBC's We Got Married was shown on 6 July.

During Crown J and Seo In Young's shoot, though the photographer kept asking Crown J to kiss Seo In Young, he simply refused to. He said, "Are there guys who wouldn't want that? Although I think that a light peck is ok, but I didn't want to cross the line. Once we cross it we won't be a 'pretend' couple anymore, we'd be a real couple."

Unaware of Crown J's thoughts, Seo In Young laughed, "Isn't that something a husband should do? There was one picture where I was already stretching my neck towards him."

When their photographer requested for Andy and Solbi to kiss for the camera, Andy planted a light kiss on Solbi's lips, after which Solbi said "Our lips didn't touch, we have to redo it", and with that the couple shared their first kiss.

On the other hand, Hwang Bo - whose groom Kim Hyun Joong was in Japan for SS501 activities - came by to help out Andy and Solbi with their shoot, and said with envy "I want to put on a wedding dress too."

[08.07.07][diary] GOOD Dir. Lee's Cyworld entry

The weather is really....it makes people tired...
The power of nature is still the greatest.
You'll know just by the way it tortures our bodies and moods.
I happily went for a carwash during lunchtime
But I got annoyed by the unpredictable weather... ^^

Today HS's project single was released as a digital single.
It's similar to the time when he took part in Jo Young Soo's All Star Project...
If it's anything different, it's that Jo Young Soo and HS have worked together many times before...
For Kim Do Hyun it's his first time. (Though he worked on Shinhwa's album a long time ago so that doesn't really count...)
It's strange with Kim Do Hyun too, they've never had much contact, and they've finally met now.
The recording went well... I don't know through this collaboration, if he'll take part in HS's album. Because Do Hyun was really enthralled during the recording.
Recently HS's 3 new songs have been released... There's one that's playing through the day ^^
Please enjoy it, until the 3rd album is born...

I suddenly remembered...
Recently the Social Enterprise commercial has been airing a lot on TV station K.
Since HS sang the logo song, it's a commercial that everyone, me included, is very interested in.
This is the effects of a celebrity endorsement.
Because at least everyone and me will now know what Social Enterprise is.
I'm regretting it a little after watching the commercial.
Initially he was asked not only to sing the logo song, but to appear in the commercial too...
And also appearing on shows before the activity... The host seemed to have more to say than HS, so we declined the offer.
But... after watching the commercial I suddenly feel a sense of regret, it would have been good if HS was in it.

I said that I would share some news about the 3rd album.
This entry seems to be getting too long, I'll share it in the next entry.
What should I tell everyone first? I'll tell you more after I get things organized...^^

Because of the weather... I hope everyone won't get too tired out...
Find something near you that can refresh you...
Have an energetic week...

[08.07.03][news] Support for Iljimae vs Dislike for Strongest Chil Woo

first, eric's words were taken out of context - he was talking
about the antis in response to the rumours about Shinhwa disbanding for goodness
sake - and how in the world would this dude know if eric isn't working on
improving his acting? and ratings...RATINGS?! i'm not about to even start on
that.

whatever. i know this isn't even remotely enough to get eric down,
and i won't let it get to me either.


Quote:
It seems that he
isn't really commenting on the problems of his own acting, but rather
interpreting these comments more as a problem with the viewers.
just one
last thing to mr reporter: you seem rather good at writing fiction, ever
considered a career in novels or scriptwriting? *

After traditional Korean hero Hong Gil Dong has left the TV screen, other traditional heroes Iljimae and Chil Woo have joined the fray. Shinhwa member Eric is currently starring in KBS2 Mon/Tue drama Strongest Chil Woo, while Lee Joon Ki headlines the SBS Wed/Thu drama Iljimae.

As these 2 heroes are from a similar era and share a similar concept, both dramas have been subject to many comparisons. However the results and ratings are poles apart. Iljimae's ratings have been staying above 20% and dominating the Wed/Thu drama battle, while ratings for Strongest Chil Woo has been languishing around 10%, lagging behind rival drama Gourmet.

Similar images, similar backgrounds, both are heroes who help the commoners in turbulent times, why do they receive such different responses?

(unrelated info omitted)

Eric has yet to prove himself to the critics who have doubts about his acting abilities. Everytime he's involved in a drama or movie project, "doubts about his acting abilities" is always an issue. What's important is not to move away from these kind of comments, it's the attitude towards such comments. Humbly accepting these comments will help him to develop and improve further. Staying stagnant at this point, he will eventually fall out of the race and fail in becoming an actor.

During a recent interview, Eric commented "(After reading these criticisms) I felt that I have many antis." It seems that he isn't really commenting on the problems of his own acting, but rather interpreting these comments more as a problem with the viewers.

[08.07.02][news] Comic book featuring Shinhwa to be released on 4th July

What if we combine stars together with comics?

A comic book featuring top group Shinhwa as key characters will be released very soon, and naturally attracting a lot of attention from the public and the media. The combination of Hallyu stars and comics is a first, a move to target the booming Korean manhwa and Japanese manga industries.

On July 4th, the comic book SMACKER, featuring Shinhwa members Lee Minwoo, Shin Hyesung, Andy, Eric, Junjin and Kim Dongwan, will be available at bookstores nationwide. Although previously celebs like Kim Hyun Jung, Jang Yoon Jung have been featured in a comic book, it was more of a illustrated biography.

SMACKER is more of the action genre. The plot tells of how the 6 of them were separated as children due to their families moving and emigrating, how they meet again in high school and their adventures. Kim Dongwan's character is a student by day who operates a roadside stall by night. He often clashes with the mobsters in his village but with the help of his friends he always resolves the crises. The members' characters are habitual troublemakers who always end up at the police station, but yet they live their lives with passion.

The author Park Chan Seob has produced other works such as Shinmungo, and is an established comic artist with 14 years of expereince. Prior to the release of the comic book, he said in an interview with Booking magazine that he had already prepared for this since 2 years ago, and he is only releasing it now after he had sorted out copyright issues with using the members' names and likenesses. "Going forward, every month there will be a new issue featuring their various adventures."

Discussions are underway to bring the comic to Japan. This may in fact create a whole new genre of Hallyu contents in the Japanese manga market.

Niaecc, the company that represents Park Chan Seob, released details and pictures of the comic book on their official website. "In future, other than Shinhwa, we will also be featuring other Hallyu stars in our comics, to further fuel the Hallyu wave for television, movie and music,"

[08.07.02][diary] GOOD Director Lee's personal Cyworld page

Leaving another message after a week...
It's been very warm for the whole day, it's more tiring in days like this...^^

You've heard news about HS from different sources...
Just take the few pieces of news today for example.

Firstly HS made his first official appearance in a long time.
Although the event was really early^^ He put on a nice suit and turned up looking good at the Social Enterprise commemoration ceremony
After a proposal from the Ministry of Labour, we agreed to this meaningful project called Social Enterprise.
He even sang the logo song for this... You'll be able to hear it on the Social Enterprise CF soon.

The official Japanese fanclub Always Hyesung has started its recruitment drive today.
As an artist who wants to be active in Japan, the most fundamental thing to have is the official fanclub.
If in our country only idol singers have fanclubs, in Japan any artist that is active will have an official fanclub, and the ages of the members cover a wide range.
For a group like SMAP their fanclub reportedly has more than 800,000 members. If this is really true, I'm really envious. ^^
HS personally picked the name of the fanclub.
He was stuck between using 'With' or 'Always Hyesung'...

The project that Park Jin Young is spearheading, I Love Asia, also had its track and MV released today.
Everyone who participated had a solo part... HS seemed to have done his part really comfortably.
I hope this project won't end just like that, to the Chinese victims of the earthquake who have lost everything overnight, even a glimmer of hope will help them.

Recently HS has been busy with these projects and the recording of his 3rd album.
The next time I leave a message I will share some simple introductions to the songs that he has been recording.

It's going to rain tomorrow, and there'll be strong gusts of wind.
Please bring your umbrella along if you're going out... and be careful of the slippery roads... ^^

[08.07.02][diary] Dongwan: say anything - x

*these are lyrics from a song called Say Anything by X-Japan - he basically picked out the chorus and a verse*


Dongwan's original entry

傷つけ合う言葉でも 어떤 말이라도 해주세요..
斷ち切れない心に
演じきれない心に 어떤 말이라도

灯りの消えた　On the stage　一人見つめて
通り過ぎた日々に抱かれる
壊してくれ　何もかも　飾った愛も
時の砂に消えるまで

------------------------------------------------------------------

Eng Translation

Even if it's words that hurt each other Please just say anything..
To my confused heart
A disguised and unpretty heart Just say anything

As the lights dim On the stage I stare into space alone
Embracing each day as it passes
Destroy it whether if it's everything or unreal love
Until it disappears in the sands of time

------------------------------------------------------------------

Original Jap lyrics:

You say anything 傷つけ合う言葉でも
Say anything 断ち切れない心に
You say anything Just tell me all your sweet lies
Say anything 演じきれない心に

灯りの消えた On the stage 1人見つめて
通り過ぎた日々に抱かれる
壊してくれ 何もかも 飾った愛も
時の砂に消えるまで

[ChanMi's drama news] "The Great Chil-woo", how real is it ?

KBS2TV's Monday Tuesday drama "The Great Chil-woo", starring Eric Moon has issues of the Chosun era that are way too similar to the ones of today.

Chosun elites are money lending thieves, and welcoming parties that result in death?

Nam-deuk (Im Ha-ryong) explains to So-yoon (Koo Hye-seon) about the issues that corrolate to today's candelight demonstrations.

How real can this Chosun era shown in this drama be?

"The Grat Chil-woo" staff say that the issues in the drama are influenced from those recorded in Chosun documents.

According to the ancient documents, there actually is a woman hung outside the city gates as if she committed suicide and a husband who lost his wife because he couldn't repay the borrowed money from a rich elite. In addition, there was a man who was seeking an official position who was killed during a welcoming party.

These were all shown in the drama, of course made fictional to some degree to connect with the plot.

Viewers are curious what other events happened during the time as the developing hero, "The Great Chil-woo" helps solve these societal problems.

[08.06.30][news] The significance of Strongest Chil Woo to Mun Jung Hyuk

We met up with Shinhwa's Eric, no, the actor Mun Jung Hyuk at the filmsite of Strongest Chil Woo. Contrary to our worry that he isn't accustomed to sageuk dramas, he is very much at ease in his Joseon najang get-up. He will be enlisting in September/October this year when the filming for the drama wraps up.

For his last project prior to army enlistment, he has decided on Strongest Chil Woo, which incidentally is his first sageuk drama, making it even more meaningful to him. Thus, he wants to do even better, and he is even more ambitions. He probably doesn't bear to leave for the army, and his fans can't bear to see him go either.

During an interview at Pyeongtaek on 29 June, the filmsite for the drama, when asked about his feelings about enlisting, Mun Jung Hyuk simply smiled, "I want to do it well. Haha and Jong Min said that they have laid the foundation."

To Mun Jung Hyuk, Strongest Chil Woo is his last present to his fans. He said, "Actually for my health condition now, I don't want to do anything except rest. But I've received so much love and support from everyone, and I wanted to give the fans a present before I leave for the army. I hope that people will laugh and cry along when they are watching the drama, and that will make me feel great."

What does Mun Jung Hyuk think about the rumours of Shinhwa not getting along and disbanding? "Shouldn't they stop already? It may not be intentional, but I'd think about why I should have to live like that. I can't understand why I have all these enemies out of nowhere."

In response to the question, "Between acting and singing, what would you choose when you return from the army in 2 years' time?", he answered "I haven't thought about it yet. In the 2 years that I'm away from my work, I will think about it before I reach a decision."

To the fatigued Mun Jung Hyuk, he sees this hiatus as a well-deserved break and a turning point. It's a time for him to rest, for him to get away from singing and acting, for him to take a step back. No one knows if he will choose music or acting in future, so for him - and for the fans - Strongest Chil Woo means even more.

[08.06.30][news] Eric: The best groom on We Got Married is Crown J

Shinhwa's Eric has picked Crown J as the best groom on MBC's We Got Married.

Eric did a round of media interviews on 29 June for the KBS2 drama Strongest Chil Woo at Pyeonggaek, Gyeonggi-do, where he was filming. He was asked, "Do Shinhwa members watch each other on programmes?", to which he replied with a chuckle, "Not anymore, but Minwoo still seems to do that quite often. For me I'd definitely watch We Got Married."

Eric said, "When the show first started it was already very interesting, and I've never missed an episode so far. It's like watching a romance drama, and the awkward situations are the most fun to watch, like when Andy and Solbi first started there were so many mushy moments. Now I'm totally addicted to Crown J, he's probably the best. Kim Hyun Joong is great too."

In response to whether he would accept an invitation to appear on the show, he said "I'm happy just watching it, the thought of appearing on the show has never crossed my mind."

"Watching the show makes me want to get married too. I've been thinking about getting married and having kids since some time ago." But when asked when he thinks he would get married, he answered "I don't know, probably some time after I finish my military service."

[08.06.30][news] Eric: That controversial horse cost 100 million won to rent

Shinhwa's Eric has commented about the fake horse used in Strongest Chil Woo.

After Episode 4 was aired last week, the comments left by viewers on the messageboards were all about the fake horse that Eric was riding. Most of them thought that the horse was real as the head was moving, but they realised that the horse's eyes were actually glass eyes in a close-up shot. Viewers started to question why a fake horse was used, and said that part was a slip-up.

In an interview on 29 June, Eric explained, "That horse was the horse that was used in the movie The Last Samurai, just the rental alone cost 100 million won. Using a real horse would have made it difficult to get the ideal angles, so that fake horse was brought in for multi-angle shots."

"A lot of effort was put into the close-up shot of the horse", and he was quite alarmed that viewers thought that the slip-up was done intentionally for comedic effect. But he remains grateful for the viewers for forgiving the incident.

He added, "Initially when people start watching the drama, they would think 'what is that all about', but by the time they're done with Episode 2 they would find it rather addictive", displaying full confidence in his project.

Eric even demonstrated the Mongolian whistle that is used in the drama to summon his horse, which was louder and more difficult than what we imagined it to be. He said it's because Im Haryong told him, "Don't do what's impossible", so he practiced it the whole night in the hostel. He hinted that we would be hearing his real whistle from Episode 8 onwards.

[08.06.30][news] Eric: I thought of quitting showbiz after finishing Phoenix

Although Mun Jung Hyuk (Shinhwa's Eric) has been in showbiz for 10 years, but there are still times when he wants to escape from it all. He says that after filming for Phoenix wrapped up, he thought of quitting showbiz for good. Why would he think of that when he's successful both as an actor and as a singer?

During an interview on 29 June, he said "After filming for Phoenix wrapped up, I turned off my phone for a whole week and headed to Jejudo to dive. Filming the drama left me feeling very empty and exhausted, I didn't have any particular reason, I just didn't want to go on anymore. As part of Shinhwa it wasn't just me and I was responsible to the entire group, so I never thought of quitting. Besides even if the going was tough, the other members were there to support me, so I never felt lonely. But working solo meant that I had to stress out even over the smallest detail."

Although he thought of running away from it all, the support of the fans persuaded him to stay on, as a singer and as an actor. He tells us that Strongest Chil Woo is his gift to the fans. Looking at Mun Jung Hyuk who always thinks of his fans, one can't help but envy his fans. We look forward to his future music and drama projects.

[08.06.30][news] Eric: I have so many antis

Criticism towards his acting, rumors of Shinhwa disbanding popping up from time to time...Eric talks about how this makes him "very tired".

"I don't think it's a bad life, but I seem to have antis everywhere."

Actor/singer Mun Jung Hyuk (Eric) shares his woes about the negative comments surrounding himself.

We met up with Mun Jung Hyuk in Pyeonggaek, Gyeonggi-do on 29 June where he was filming the KBS2 drama Strongest Chil Woo. About his own performance and the mixed reviews from viewers, he said "We'll see what the comments are when the series has finished its broadcast. But I did think 'aren't I supposed to do it that way?' and 'do I really have that many antis?' " He is comforted by the fact that ratings have increased up against the competition.

About comments criticising his sageuk cadence and that he's not suitable for sageuk dramas, he said "They could be thinking that because the image of me as Shinhwa's Eric is stuck in their minds. Initially the production team couldn't get used to it either, but as time passed we all got accustomed to it."

Mun Jung Hyuk made his debut in 1998 with Shinhwa when he was just 20 years old, and 10 years has passed since then. Recently there have been rumours of members not getting along and of Shinhwa disbanding. He has this to say, "This is definitely not what we are thinking. Rumors like this appear all the time, and I realise that we do have quite many antis. In my 20s I might have used legal means and argued my way through, but as I grew older, I've mellowed a lot."

He made a confession that he once considered quitting showbiz. "After Phoenix, I felt really empty, and I spent a week diving at Jejudo. I was too engrossed in my character, and when I suddenly had all this time to rest, I just felt lost."

With regards to the greatest difference for him in his 20s and his 30s, he said "I have more specific goals and I look for more challenging work. I'm really addicted to that now. Also I treat the people around me better so that no one gets hurt."

Choosing Strongest Chil Woo as his pre-enlistment project is his gift to viewers and fans. "There are many activities going on now, and I've received lots of support and love. Although there are times that I don't do well enough, but I hope that this will be a nice present to the viewers and the fans."
