this would answer why I love the guys so much
----------------------------------------------------------
The members’ reactions after listening to Side 2 - around 5:30 to 7:08
PKR: How did the Shinhwa members react? What did they say after listening to the album?
HS: Ah… Have they even listened to it? Haha… But I think they would have heard the title song, are they still human beings if they didn’t? (laughs)
PKR: When you released your album, which of the members contacted you?
HS: When the album was first released, Dongwan was the first to send me a text message.
PKR: Dongwan indeed…
HS: He always shows a lot of concern at times like these.
PKR: He cares a lot for people, and he seems to have lots of free time lately.
HS: He’s especially free these days that he’s checking on me so strictly… Makes me feel frustrated… He’s annoying.
PKR: What did he say?
HS: When the album was just released, he said it was really great. Usually he would joke and say some mean things, but this time he actually complimented me, so I feel really happy. But Eric didn’t say much at all, he had nothing to say at all about the songs.
PKR: So if Eric releases an album, Hyesung won’t say anything either I suppose.
HS: Yeah, nothing at all.
PKR: Ah so you do this to each other
HS: I won’t tell him this of course, I’ll just catch him unaware when necessary.
PKR: You make calculated moves, don’t you…
HS: But in any case everyone has been really supportive so I’m really happy. Junjin has been kidding around and helping to promote my song. When I call him, he’d sing my song.
PKR: Junjin’s a really loyal friend
HS: He’d give me strength at unexpected moments, although he usually doesn’t… but at times like these…
PKR: I feel that although the Shinhwa members may be busy with their own solo activities, but once you all get together, even if you don’t do anything you’ll already be giving each other strength.
HS: Of course. To me they’re like my home, we can’t live without our homes, can we? Where would we sleep and where would we eat?
11 years since their debut - from 7:23 to 9:00
PKR: It’s really quite incredible, it’s been 12 years since your debut?
HS: 11 years. Just a while ago on 24th March, it was our 11th anniversary. We gathered for a celebration, and though it’s hard for us to get together usually, everyone including the members serving their military duty also turned up. The 6 of us had a lot of fun together.
PKR: How does it feel to have gone through 11 years…?
HS: 11 years is a long time, and sometimes even we can’t quite believe it. It feels like time has really passed by very quickly, we’ve turned from 20 years old to 30 years old in a flash….
PKR: I personally like Shinhwa very much, and the reason why I respect Shinhwa so much is because… Many things have happened for you guys, and you all have encountered many temptations, isn’t it?
HS: Of course
PKR: But you continue to look out for each other, no matter who is enjoying success or who doesn’t quite have things going smoothly, all of you protect the name of Shinhwa without taking any personal agendas into consideration. Being able to hold on to Shinhwa for more than 10 years, that’s an amazing feat. (She couldn’t have said it better…)
HS: For this, I’m very grateful to the members, I really feel that they’re awesome, and I feel really happy.
PKR: Does Hyesung think of the members when you sing ‘Why Did You Call’?
HS: Hahahahhaha
PKR: Is that what you say when the members call?
HS: On the contrary, actually. I’d say in a reprimanding tone, ‘Why didn’t you call…’
What does Shinhwa mean to Shin Hyesung - from 28:42 to 28:57
PKR: There are lots to say about Shinhwa, so what is Shinhwa to Hyesung? What does it mean to you?
HS: I mentioned it earlier, Shinhwa is like my home, my hometown, it’s something that I cannot do without.
What are the good points and shortcomings of the Shinhwa members? - from 28:57 to 31:38
PKR: Based on Hyesung’s opinion, what are the good points of the members? Let’s start from Dongwan.
HS: Dongwan, he shows a lot of concern for people. Minwoo often spurs us on and leads us into action. As for Andy, he’s very reliable and does a solid job all the time, he doesn’t seem like the youngest at all.
PKR: What about Eric?
HS: Let’s leave Eric to the last one.
PKR: What about Junjin then?
HS: Junjin’s a great guy, he’s really kind.
PKR: So what about Eric?
HS: Let’s omit him.
PKR: Why? Omit?
HS: Ah there’s something! He’s useful.
PKR: Useful?
HS: He lives in the apartment one level below me, so if I want to eat ramyeon, he can bring some packets up. He’s useful like that. Hahahaha… Just kidding…
PKR: We’ll talk about their shortcomings then, let’s start with Dongwan.
HS: He’s very annoying.
PKR: He’s caring but annoying… What about Minwoo?
HS: He moves forward too quickly, sometimes he has to look behind him.
PKR: Andy?
HS: He always thinks he’s the big brother, I nearly got hit by him once.
PKR: We’ll leave Eric to the last, so what about Junjin?
HS: He’s a good guy, but he’s too playful and mischievous, that’s a little detestable.
PKR: He’s a good guy, but detestable, isn’t that a split personality? So what about Eric?
HS: He’s just a nuisance. Hahahahahhaa……
PKR: So today we find out through Hyesung, that all of them have split personalities.
HS: Isn’t that more realistic…
PKR: That’s to say they’re really strange people, right? Caring but annoying; a good leader but moves too quickly; reliable but thinks of himself as the big brother; a good guy but detestable because he’s too playful; and useful but a nuisance… (We already kind of knew that they’re weird folks didn’t we? LOL)
HS: Hahahahahhahahahah
PKR: It’s a special way to analyze them… I’d like to introduce a psychiatrist to you
HS: A specialist? Do I get a discount?
PKR: If you bring those 5 guys along, you’ll get free consultation… (HAHAHAHAHAHHAH OMG SHE’S TOO FUNNY)
Hyesung and the Shinhwa members - from 31:45 to 33:04
PKR: So now I’ll ask you a question and you have to quickly say the name of the member that corresponds to the question. Who among the Shinhwa members is jealous of you?
HS: Dongwan
PKR: And who are you jealous of?
HS: Hmmmm *long pause* Minwoo
PKR: Is it Minwoo? You took a long time to answer that.
HS: Minwoo has certain qualities that I’m very envious of. Although we’re both Type A but our characters are completely opposite. He’s lively, gets on well with people and he’s always surrounded by people. I’m envious of that.
PKR: Which member are you more awkward with these days?
HS: Recently it’s Minwoo. A little unbelievable actually. I feel close to the other members when we meet, but I’m just awkward with Minwoo, I don’t know why it’s like that.
PKR: Could it because you haven’t seen each other for a long time? Or is it because he has a girlfriend now?
HS: Maybe that’s why I feel awkward around him, so I dislike him a little these days. (Go get one yourself!)
PKR: I get it, so the person you dislike now isn’t Eric, but Minwoo? (!!!! *nervous*)
HS: Probably (laughs)
During the 11th anniversary celebration - from 33:10 to 35:19
HS: On the day of our gathering, something really funny happened. That day all 6 of us got together and we prepared a cake. After that we asked Junjin to be the representative to hold the cake and blow out the candles after we all said our congratulations. At that point, Junjin had tears in his eyes as he was holding the cake and said, “Hyung, I feel like crying.” He looked really adorable, and then we told him, “Ok, make a wish and then blow out the candles.” He blew out the candles with tears in his eyes and when he was about to sit down, his chair got pulled away….
PKR: Did Eric do that? (LOLOLOLOL most probably… but Dongwan is next on my suspect list…)
HS: I don’t know who did it… But he flipped over 3 times with tears in his eyes and we couldn’t stop laughing for 30 minutes. He had just said, “Hyung, I feel like crying”, and he went tumbling… We nearly died laughing. (LOLOLOL you dorks…. I don’t know whether to cry or laugh…)
PKR: And you didn’t record that moment on camera?
HS: If we did, it would come out tops in America’s Funniest Home Videos.
PKR: That’s Shinhwa for you… Even when they’re moved to tears they’re still so amusing. To end this off, say something to the Shinhwa members, something cheerful.
HS: Cheerful? I’ve been picking up the tab when we meet, you guys have to pay some money too…. (laughs) what I want to say is, let’s meet up when there’s time!
