Heo Jungmin answered, “He worships him too much.” DJ Park Jiyoon asked to this comment, “Do you not like Eric, Jungmin?” Heo Jungmin answered, “I do, but I don’t express it like Kidu does. I just do it secretly inside,” drawing laughs from everyone on the set.

[News] Mention of Shinhwa as a role model

The biggest visual group? No, the biggest 'be jewel’ group!

[Photo omitted]

There is a group that has gone beyond the normal borders of A Capella, trying to popularize the genre by bringing in other genres such as children’s songs, pop, jazz, trot, hip-hop, and dance, and performing in a show that brings together A Capella and comedy called ‘Chocolat’.

This group is named DIA, and is one of Korea’s 1st generation A Capella groups. The group has met its 15th anniversary this year since it was formed at an A Capella club in Daehangno in 2002.

18. Are there any singers you were influenced by?

Jinhee: Korea’s longest-running idol group ‘Shinhwa’. I was a member of the 8th Shinhwa Changjo, so DIA will be able to become Korea’s longest-running A Capella group.

Yang Heeeun confessed on ‘Radio Star’ that she is bad at recognizing her juniors.

The singer appeared on the March 15 broadcast of MBC’s ‘Radio Star’ with her sister, actress Yang Heekyung.

MC Kim Kookjin commented this day, “I heard that Yang Heeeun can’t even recognize a junior who she’s said hi to 11 times because she’s face blind.”

Yang Heeeun added, “I still don’t know who that person is. The only super idol I remember is Kim Dongwan.”

Kim Gura said, “He’s nearing forty now,” and asked, “Do you know Jun Jin, then?” to which Yang Heeeun answered, “Yes, I do. He often comes out with his father (Charlie Park), doesn’t he?”

She went on to add that she knows Eric of Shinhwa as well but doesn’t know Lee Minwoo, making everyone laugh.

Even if just one member stops being with the group, then the group wouldn’t be able to last for over 10 years doing what it does with all of its original members. If we could [be like Shinhwa], it would be the best thing.” (Do you think you’ll be able to be active as GFriend even when you’re 40?) “We hope to sing our songs for as long as we can get together, as long as we can reach out, as long as we can.”

[News] An idol that will soon meet its fifth President of its career

As President Park Geunhye’s impeachment was decided anonymously on the morning of March 10, Shinhwa’s 19-year career as a ‘long-running idol group’ drew attention.

Shinhwa debuted in 1998 with their 1st album ‘Resolver’, and is currently the longest-running idol group. During their history of 19 years, they have been active under four different presidents.

Shinhwa has been consistently active, releasing a total of six albums under the Kim Daejung administration, three under the Roh Moohyun administration, and two under the Lee Myungbak administration. In November last year they released their 13th album ‘TOUCH’, and it turned out to be the last as of today to be released under the Park Geunhye administration.

Once a new President is elected in the upcoming Presidential election following the impeachment decision made today, Shinhwa will be meeting their fifth President of their career.

In the meantime, much attention is being paid as to when the Presidential election will be held due to President Park Geunhye’s impeachment. Though a date is yet to be fixed, there is a high probability the election will be held on May 9. If this is so, it will be the first Presidential election in Korea’s history to be held in May.

Q. If you could pick just one celebrity sunbae you look up to, who would it be?

A. Shinhwa’s Eric sunbaenim. Shinhwa sunbaenims have stayed together as a group for so long but also have very active solo careers. Eric sunbaenim is especially busy both as an actor and singer, and I think it’s amazing how he plays the role of Shinhwa’s leader as well. It’s awesome how he is successful in both careers. I look up to him because he has such a good image both as a group member and as an actor.
