Member Andy of legendary idol group Shinhwa who recently reunited for the first time in 4 years remarked, “H.O.T‘s Tony told me he was envious, and thanked us for making a comeback.”
On March 5th, Shinhwa held a press conference at M Cube in Seoul to officially announce their return to the music scene.
“In commemoration of our comeback, I sent Tony a text message,” Andy said. “He said he was really jealous, and thanked us for making a comeback on behalf of all the 1st generation idol groups.”
Fellow member Shin Hyesung also added, “Kang Ta also said that he was extremely envious.”
Shinhwa’s leader Eric stated in regards to his individual activities, “I want to become closer with the public through promotions with Shinhwa. My individual promotions are an after-thought at the moment and I will be focusing 100% on Shinhwa activities.”
Eric took a break from the music scene after Shinhwa released their 9th full-length album ‘Run‘ to focus on his individual activities, but has teamed up with Shinhwa once to again to release their 10th full-length album through CJ E&M. Their title song will include ‘electronica’, a musical genre the group has never attempted, and in addition to a brand new sound, they’re planning to return with some fresh new dance moves as well.
In related news, Shinhwa will be kicking off their concert ‘RETURN‘ in Seoul to celebrate their 14th anniversary. Once their Seoul show comes to an end, they will launch their ‘Asia Tour’ starting in April, traveling to Shanghai, Taiwan, Tokyo, Beijing, and more.
