#MyShinhwaStory
If this is Tl;DR thats fine, I just figured I would bring this up since Shinhwa are coming back and I have seen a few new Shinhwa tumblr players spring up thru this year.
I would love to find out how others found Shinhwa, so I am starting this off ^^ I really want to hear your story too! use the #MyShinhwaStory tag or post to:

THE LAST 4 MONTHS HAVE BEEN A DISASTER. I CAN’T BELIEVE IT HAS ONLY BEEN 4 MONTHS, IT FEELS LIKE FOREVER. I BEGAN MUCH LIKE MANY OTHER PEOPLE ON THIS BLOG, WITH RUNNING MAN. MY RUNNING MAN OBSESSION BEGAN IN APRIL OF 2015. BEFORE THAT I HAD NOT LIKED ANYTHING IN KOREAN. DIDN’T LIKE THE STYLE, DIDN’T LIKE THE DRAMAS, DIDN’T LIKE THE LANGUAGE. I CAME FROM THE J-POP ERA AND I WAS VERY RESISTANT TO TRY ANYTHING KOREAN-RELATED. BUT RUNNING MAN WAS REALLY FUNNY AND I HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT, SO I BECAME OBSESSED, WATCHING 3-4 EPISODES A DAY (WHICH IS LIKE 6 HOURS >.<)
I SAW A FEW EPISODES WITH BIG BANG AND I STARTED WITH THEM, DISCOVERING A WHOLE WORLD OF VARIETY SHOWS AND MUSIC SHOWS AND THE WHOLE FANDOM EXPERIENCE. BUT THEY ARE QUITE A BORING LOT, SO SERIOUS AND IMAGE-CONSCIOUS, SO MY INTEREST DECREASED. BUT AS I WAS WATCHING THROUGH RUNNING MAN (NOT IN ORDER) I SAW THE EPISODE WITH SHINHWA PIRATES. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT THEY WERE, (IT NEVER MENTIONED THEY WERE SINGERS) AND NONE OF THEM WERE VERY PRETTY, EXCEPT MINWOO (THEY LOOKED KINDA OLD). BUT THEY SHOWED IMPRESSIVE TEAM WORK AND WERE SO FUNNY! (ESPECIALLY ANDY). AND THEY WON EVERYTHING!
SO I LOOKED FOR ANOTHER EPISODE OF RUNNING MAN WITH THEM IN IT AND FOUND THE RECENT ONE WHERE THEY WERE VYING FOR THE “ULTIMATE MAN TITLE” OR WHATEVER. AND THEY REALLY OUTSHONE EVERYONE. ZE:A WAS JUST A FILLER GROUP. IT WAS A SHINHWA EPISODE. I DIDN’T REALLY LIKE SNIPER, BUT I RECOGNIZED KIM DONGWAN FROM A STRONG HEART EPISODE WITH BIG BANG IN IT AND HE WAS SO CUTELY FUNNY (HE WASN’T IN THE PIRATES EPISODE). SO I THOUGHT I WOULD SEARCH A LITTLE ON THEM AND THIS HAS LEAD ME DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE, TO A LAND I NEVER THOUGHT EXISTED, CALLED “SHINHWA”.
COUNTLESS VIDEOS, EVERY VARIETY SHOW THEY HAVE BEEN IN, FAN ACCOUNTS, ONLINE POLLS, TUMBLR GIFS! I EVEN RECENTLY OPENED A TWITTER ACCOUNT SO THAT I COULD HAVE A LIVE FEED OF EVERYTHING GOING ON WITH THEM. THE FANDOM IS WHAT IMPRESSES ME THE MOST. THOUGH WE ARE NOT LARGE IN NUMBER, WE ARE DEDICATED AND UNIFIED. SEEN BY HOW THEY POLL ONLINE AND HOW OFTEN I SEE SHINHWA COMMENTS ON OTHER VIDEOS. I HOPE I CAN MEET MORE OF YOU BABY CHANGJOS =]
