The popular six member Korean group Shinhwa expressed their affection towards Girls’ Generation during their fourteenth anniversary comeback press conference.
On March 5th, at the CGV Chungdam Cine Center in Seoul, Shinhwa had their comeback press conference at Mcube. During the press conference, Shinhwa mentioned Girls’ Generation, who is currently under SM Entertainment, the same management company that they were once a part of.
Jun Jin stated, “When we were active with SM Entertainment, the members of Girls’ Generation were still trainees in elementary school. We are thankful the kids grew up so well. We have a special feeling for them, seeing how hard they are working.” He also added, “When Jessica and Hyoyeon were younger, they wrote letters for us. It’s kind of weird seeing them as grown ladies.”
Lee Minwoo stated, “I’m a fan of Girls’ Generation I loved them almost as I love to play video games with elo boosting services. I remember Hyoyeon in particular. When Hyoyeon was little, she danced really well despite her young age. At the time, BoA was promoting, and I was anticipating a second BoA. I’m happy to see that Hyoyeon has achieved her dreams.”

“Initially formed under SM Entertainment, Shinhwa signed a new contract with a new record label, Good Entertainment, in July 2003. While still under Good Entertainment as Shinhwa, each of the members have all left the entertainment to start their own to concentrate on their solo activities, from acting to going solo. Aside from singing and performing as a group and individuals as well as acting, the members of Shinhwa are also mentors to the Korean boy band Battle.” (wikipedia)
Based on article above that i quoted, I believe the girls would less likely following Shinhwa’s path, which is acting or going solo while they still performing as a group. Hope the girls still together in the future
Getting that kind of feedback and responses from such a famous and well-established group is such a huge thing! Extra shout-outs to Hyoyeon for being especially mentioned (and being compared to BoA –> that’s really huge too)!
Getting that kind of reactions from such a huge group like Shinwa is really really something to be happy about. I bet the Girls are all the more humbled by that.
Congrats to Shinwa for 14 years! Wow, that is crazy! Hope they do well this year too!
it is always good to get perspective from those who
have been down this road before. the experience
that these men have gives them a great position when
observing the progress that our girls have made. they
have been pretty darn successful themselves, so when
they are giving the girls such praise, there should be
good and long-lasting things in their future. :-)
I always knew there was something special with Shinhwa.
And look now, they’re Korea’s longest running boy band.
When I got into Girls’ Generation a year and a half ago, I always felt that same special feeling with them that I had with Shinhwa.
I’m proud to be a Shinhwa Changjo and SONE.
Daebak! I’m hoping they’ll work together in the future.
I’m anticipating on the men’s comeback and I’m hoping the girls will get more popular in the US.
I had the exact same thought process as you did between Shinhwa and SNSD. I enjoyed watching Shinhwa on variety shows and enjoyed their music as well. When I was getting to know SNSD, I always felt they were the female version of Shinhwa. I felt that not only were they both talented and well-rounded groups in the entertainment industry, but Shinhwa was a special group in Kpop and I had the feeling SNSD would be as well, although I never thought to the height and influence that SNSD has reached. SNSD has reached a level no one has ever achieved and the sky is the limit for how far SNSD can still reach.
True… that really is nice :D
and “When Jessica and Hyoyeon were younger, they wrote letters for us. It’s kind of weird seeing them as grown ladies.” it might be a lit weird for them but it’s nice to see someone growing up :) especially those that work hard i guess :)
Congrats on the 14th anniversary
So nice. So cute.
Congrats Shinhwa on a 14 year anniversary.
P.S. wow, 14 years… That’s crazy.
