It’s recently been revealed that Shinhwa‘s leader and one of the taller members of the group, Eric, also uses “ggalchang” (insoles that help boost height) in his shoes.
Shinhwa guest-featured on the April 30th episode of KBS 2TV‘s ‘Hello‘ to share some of their own stories, as well as taking the time to listen to the concerns of the public.
Member Minwoo was asked if he had any concerns as of late, and the singer revealed that fellow member Eric uses ggalchang in his shoes.
“I was looking at all of our shoes when I thought a specific pair with ggalchang in them were mine,” Minwoo remarked. “But the shoes actually belonged to Eric. I asked why he would even use these, when he’s over 180 cm tall.”
“I asked my stylist, what Dongwan and I were supposed to do then,” Minwoo blurted, expressing his frustrations as Eric and Jun Jin are the taller members of the group, while Minwoo and Donghwan are the shortest.
Minwoo then revealed that Eric offered an off-the-wall explanation for his insoles, saying, “These are the shoes of an actor,” causing the audience members laugh at Eric’s absurd explanation. MC Lee Young Ja then examined Eric’s shoes for herself, and sure enough, she was able to find the insoles in his shoes.
