Shinhwa to be on hiatus for at least 3-5 years due to military duty

It will take at least 3 years and at most 5 years to see idol group Shinhwa - who just celebrated their 10th anniversary - on the same stage again, as the members will be consecutively reporting for mandatory military duties.

The oldest member, Eric, is likely to be the first to enlist. Born in 1979, Eric will start filming a KBS2 drama in April, and enlist in Sept/Oct after the filming wraps up. Similarly for 1979-born Kim Dongwan, he will be placing his focus on his solo album activities. Although he says he is unsure about his plans thereafter, he will also be enlisting this year. Hoping to take up acting once again, he also added, "I would like to continue acting when I complete my military duties."

Lee Minwoo and Junjin are expected to enliste next year. Lee Minwoo will be involved in solo album activities as well as acting until the end of the year. Junjin will be busy with solo album activities and overseas concerts.

1981-born Andy can hold off enlistment until 2010, but if that's the case, a Shinhwa reunion will take up to 5 years. Shin Hyesung is exempted from the army as he has a cruciate ligament injury.

At the end of their 10th anniversary concert, Junjin asked for the fans' support, "No matter if it's 3 or 4 years, please wait for the day when we stand on the same stage again". Eric also made a promise with the fans, "We're not splitting up, so we hope everyone can protect and wait for Shinhwa too."

Ten years later, the truth that Andy Lee, a member of the group Shinhwa, was originally supposed to be an H.O.T. member was exposed.

This 10-year secret was revealed on March 22nd on KBS2TV "Happy Together - Memory Challenge Song," where ex-H.O.T. member Moon Hee Jun spoke of the birth and the never revealed behind-the-scenes stories of H.O.T.

H.O.T. originally started off with 10 members with an elimination process, until the members Moon Hee Jun, Kang Ta, Jang Woo Hyuk, Tony An, Lee Jae Won, AND Andy Lee remained.

However, because Tony An and Andy had similar images, one of them had to be booted.

But, the twist doesn't end there. The people in charge of forming the boy band favored Andy for his young age and spunk, but pitied Tony An because at the time, he was going through some rough times in his life. So, ultimately as we all know, Tony An was chosen.

Shinhwa and Chicken

Korean pop group Shinhwa endorsed the fried chicken chain Kyochon a few years ago, and ended up opening a Kyochon chicken franchise restaurant in Rodeo Street in Apgujeong, southern Seoul.

The restaurant is quite small, and decorated with autographed posters of Shinhwa members and even their framed handprints on the walls.

There is not much variety on the menu, which includes the Kyochon original chicken (8,000 won for small, 15,000 won for big servings), French fries, salad and cheese sticks. There is even "Shinhwa chicken," which is a very spicy version of the original Kyochon chicken.

Because of Shinhwa's popularity around Asia, it is no surprise there are always some foreign fans dining at the restaurant.

Angel Mahinay, a 23-year old fan from the Philippines, said that she already knew about Kyochon chicken from watching the Shinhwa commercials on the Internet.

While visiting Seoul last week, Mahinay and her friend checked out the Shinhwa restaurant to try the chicken. "I saw the Kyochon chicken commercial and I really wanted to eat the yummy chicken. Now that I have tried it, I can say the chicken is really as good as it looked on the commercial," she said.

To get there, leave exit 2 of Apgujeong station, Line 3 and walk towards the direction of the Galleria Department Store. After around 700 meters, turn right at the Hana Bank, walk a few meters and you'll find the Shinhwa Kyochon Chicken restaurant on your right.
