Shinhwa
Shinhwa (신화) is a six-piece Korean boyband that still remains very popular years after they debuted. The group debuted in M.Net's KM Music Tank in 1998 under SM Entertainment. They are currently working under Good Entertainment, since 2003.
Shinhwa is Korean for myth or legend.
Upon their debut, many labeled Shinhwa as another cheap attempt to capitalize on the boygroup craze spurred by its label mate H.O.T.. However, Shinhwa has managed to remain active and popular to this date. Outlasting the majority of musical groups has been no easy feat, yet these six individuals have been able to release album after album, and even take part in solo activities for each of the members.
Shinhwa has even expanded its fanbase by releasing albums and touring in other countries, most recently Japan. Also, their dedication to one another has proved strong and remarkable, as they have vowed to remain together, even through contractual disputes and label transitions.
Controversy
Member Andy was absent for the 4th album activities as it was reported that he attempted to commit suicide. He was given, or perhaps forced, to take some time off from the group. This was proven to be false as it was later noted that he did not participate for their 4th album because he went to the United States to finish his studies. The group has stayed together since.
