Background for the Official Thread
Shinhwa
Korean name
Hangul: 신화
Hanja: 神話
Revised Romanization: Sinhwa
McCune-Reischauer: Sinhwa
Shinhwa (신화) is the Korean word for myth or story (the term is used frequently in the studies of ancient Korean lore, particularly as it relates to Shamanism), and is the name of perhaps the most popular Korean boy band still active. The group has six members (all vocalists), and debuted on March 24 1998 under management of the SM Entertainment label.
History
The six-member group debuted on March 24 1998 with a concert performance on Korean music show, KM Music Tank, of their first single, entitled "Hae Gyul Sah" (" roblem Solver").
Shinhwa was formed under the management of SM Entertainment, and in July 2003 signed a new contract with a new record label, Good! Entertainment.
Shinhwa has released seven regular albums, one 'best of' album, and two special albums. They have changed musical styles throughout their career, creating a variation of popular music for fans and general K-pop listeners. Their past styles have included rock, rap, pop, ballad, and R&B. Shinhwa is also famous for their coordinated and well-choreographed dance performances in videos and in concert.
Band members
Shinhwa has six members:
Eric Mun (Korean name: Mun Jung Hyuk 문정혁; 16 February 1979; English rapper)
Lee Min Woo (이민우; 28 July 1979; vocalist)
Kim Dong Wan (김동완; 21 November 1979; vocalist)
Shin Hye Sung (Real name: Jung Pil Kyo 정필교; 27 November 1979; lead vocalist)
Jun Jin (Real name: Park Choong Jae 박충재; 19 August 1980; rapper & vocalist)
Andy Lee (Korean name: Lee Sun Ho 이선호; 21 January 1981; rapper)
Hye Sung was the first to join the group, after auditioning in the U.S.
Then Andy was chosen as he was already known to SM Entertainment as a once-candidate for another Korean boyband, H.O.T, with his friend and H.O.T ex-member Tony An, though he was prohibited by his parents from joining H.O.T. because he was too young at the time.
Eric joined not long after Andy.
Min Woo was discovered in a dance group by a SM scout.
Dong Wan joined after he saw a preview video of the existing Shinhwa members.
Jun Jin made it as the final member through an audition backed by his high school friend, Kangta (ex-member of H.O.T).
Notable achievements and awards
In 2002, Shinhwa made history in Korean music when they released their sixth album, "Wedding," becoming the longest running Korean boy-band in existence. They also have one of the largest active fan clubs, suitably named "Shinhwa Changjo" (신화창조 meaning to create legend) with over sixty thousand "official" fans alone, and even more "unofficial" fans.
On December 10 2004, Shinhwa was awarded the Daesang for Best Artist of The Year for the first time at the Seoul Gayo Daesang Awards. Several weeks later, on December 29, Shinhwa was awarded their second Daesang at the 2004 SBS Gayo Daejun Awards. In 2004, of all musical artists and groups, Shinhwa received the most amount of awards, totalling thirteen, from various places: the m.net KMTV Music Video Festival, Seoul Gayo Daesang, Golden Disc Awards and MBC,KBS,SBS Gayo Awards. The awards other than Best Artist of the Year included Best Male Artist, Best Dance Artist, and Overseas Choice Award.
Shinhwa's second album, T.O.P., (1999)Shinhwa is not only extremely popular in Korea, but internationally as well. They have performed in countries all over the world, including the United States, Australia, China, Taiwan, Singapore, and Japan. Although Shinhwa holds fans all over the world, for now the group is best known in Asia.
In their first visit to Singapore October 2004, for an entire week Shinhwa was the most searched artist in the Yahoo Singapore search engine, becoming the first Korean artist to do so. In their most recent concert in Japan in January 2005, they held the largest Korean artist concert (second only to singer BoA), selling 13,000 tickets within a week.
In July 2004, Shinhwa was selected to represent Korea in the MTV Buzz Asia Awards with the likes of Amuro Namie for Japan and F4 for Taiwan. Shinhwa was also selected to perform the highlight of the awards - the finale performance.
In August 2004, Shinhwa held a Korea-China-Japan summer camp (Shinhwa Summer Story 2004) dedicated entirely for their non-Korean fans, where hundreds of non-Korean fans flew to Korea from all over Asia for the opportunity to spend a few days with Shinhwa.
Commercially, Shinhwa has also been chosen by internationally renowned Swiss watch brand Rado to represent Asia as models in a January 2005 campaign.
