This is very important! finally someone speaks up!

Glad that seniors like Shinhwa bringing up such issue & clearly demanding things to be changed in this industry. We don’t need more idols losing their lives or being treated badly.  We count on dependable seniors, like Shinhwa, to change things for the better in the near future.

Shinhwa spoke about their team’s longevity and gave some words of advice to younger idols.

On August 28, Shinhwa attended a press conference for their 20th-anniversary special album “Heart.”

The group’s leader Eric Mun began, “We’ve promoted together for 20 years since our debut. I’m filled with emotion. Thank you so much to my members, fans, and staff. It’s been 20 years, but it’s a really grateful thing to be able to release an album. I’m proud of my members.”

Shin Hye Sung added, “20 years have passed, but my heart still flutters and I still get excited and nervous. Because of that, we named our album ‘Heart.‘”

Describing their title track, “Kiss Me Like That,” Minwoo said, “We carefully decided on it. Shinhwa cannot leave out the performance [aspect], so we always keep that in mind when selecting the title track. For this title track, I thought about doing something that hasn’t been done before and a performance that only Shinhwa can do. I have more affection for the track after recording and while filming the MV than when I first received it.”

He continued, “This song has a sexy concept. It has an added acoustic sound, so you can subtly feel the sexiness.”

Kim Dong Wan explained, “During a concert, there are instances when you need time. In order to not make it feel boring, we did a good job of making performance clips for the audience. The clip continues from the previous concert. We filmed it with an ‘insane’ concept. I think the audience will enjoy watching it.”

Shinhwa will be holding a concert around the same time as H.O.T. and SECHSKIES, two groups that they promoted with in the past.

About this, Minwoo commented, “Shinhwa has always continued to promote. I was happy to hear that other groups that we used to promote with were also holding concerts.”

He continued, “I saw H.O.T. eating a meal together at a restaurant and they were full of affection. It made me think that they were a lot like us. I thought that it’d be nice if they had a concert. We were in the same agency as H.O.T. so it’s something I want to applaud them for.”

Shinhwa members then spoke about the secret to their longevity. Andy said, “We are generous and understanding of one another. We trust one another and have naturally been together like a family for 20 years. In the past, I answered that we were like a family to this kind of question as well. What I can say to the junior artists is to trust one another. The more you talk about personal things, the closer you will become. It’s the secret to lasting for a long time.”

Kim Dong Wan stated, “What each person pursues is different and the happiness each person pursues may be different. I feel sad when I see idol groups break up these days. I think the secret to lasting is understanding each other’s direction of pursuing happiness.”

He added, “To be honest, there isn’t a secret. If there was, then anyone could follow that and last for a long time.”

Shinhwa released their 20th-anniversary special album “Heart” and title track “Kiss Me Like That” on August 28. The group will have their comeback stage at Mnet’s “M!Countdown” on August 30.

Shinhwa - Kiss Me Like That

Korean boy band Shinhwa released a special single to commemorate their 20th year together on Tuesday (Aug. 28).

Groovy and minimalistic, “Kiss Me Like That” serves up sultry vibes from the legacy act, the members of which deliver lush vocals and seductive raps over a rhythmic melody. Gentle beats, smooth brass, and hypnotizing strings drive the tune towards its titular choral hook. “Kiss Me Like That” is the act’s first original release of 2018.

The song’s music video features the six members of Shinhwa awash in orange hues – a nod to their fandom Shinhwa Changjo, which has historically identified with bright orange – as they interact within nostalgia-evoking bar and club scenes aboard a cruise ship. As each men focus on the object of their affection, they switch off between dancing with partners and performing the track’s interpretive choreography.

The video ends with a fireworks and Shinhwa partying it up, fitting for a celebration of their two decades in the industry. One of SM Entertainment’s ‘90s-era boy bands, Shinhwa is the longest-running K-pop boy band after getting their start in May 1998 with the release of “Resolver.” They currently operate as a group under their own management at Shinhwa Company.

“Kiss Me Like That” fronts Shinhwa’s special anniversary EP Heart, which features five other songs including the groovy house track “In the Air” featuring Yoonmirae and album closer “Don’t Leave Me,” co-written by Pentagon’s Hui. The anniversary celebrations kicked off in March by the group remaking their music video for their 2000 single “All Your Dreams.”

Watch the video for “Kiss Me Like That” below.
