Shinhwa’s Dongwan believes friendship is more important than love

On the August 18th broadcast of jTBC‘s ‘Shinhwa Broadcast‘, Shinhwa‘s Dongwan revealed his opinion on friendship and love.

The episode featured, “Friendship Channel – The Best Friend“, in which a 50-member panel of men were invited to answer a series of questions along with the Shinhwa members.

Guest MC, Son Bum Soo, asked “If your friend and girlfriend asked to rendezvous at the same time, who would you go to?“, to which Junjin replied, “I’d call my girlfriend over to where I am hanging out with my friends. When I am on a date, most of the times my friends are also with me“. Hyesung added, “In the past, friendship was more important to me than love. I would deem my appointments with friends more important, but now I regret doing so“, while Eric displayed his romanticism as he firmly stated, “I will go to my girlfriend no matter what“.

On the other hand, Dongwan displayed a much different opinion than his members when he stated, “I used to be a person who believed that love was more important than friendship, however, after suffering because of love a few times, I found out that friendship goes on forever and girls don’t mean much.”

To this, Son Bum Soo, asked Dongwan, “Are you in pain because of your recent break-up?”, to which Dongwan replied, “This has nothing to do with my recent break-up. [There was a time] when I was dumped when I was deeply in love“.

Furthermore, Dongwan added, “The Shinhwa members helped me overcome my heartbreak over breaking up“, to which the members  replied, “That is not true. We didn’t even know he was dating“, playfully lightening up the atmosphere.

Shinhwa’s Andy wants to release a nude photo album by himself?

On the most recent episode of jTBC‘s ‘Shinhwa Broadcast‘ Shinhwa‘s Andy declared that he would release a nude album without the Shinhwa members.

The May 26th broadcast of ‘Shinhwa Broadcast’ featured debates in which the members competed against each other to win the title as the “God of Speech”. As mentioned previously, the Shinhwa members held a debate discussing whether they should release another nude photo album. (Shinhwa, who shot a nude photo album 11 years ago, remains the first and only idol group to have ever done so)

Kim Dongwan who was on the team that had to argue for the idea said, “We shot the nude photos during our 4th album when Andy was absent. Andy was left alone in Seoul. Therefore, we need to take Andy and shoot a nude photo album one more time“, to which teammate Junjin added, “I agree. Andy is Shinhwa’s cute guy. Many fans want to see Andy’s muscles. I think fans will like it more if we take a nude photo album with Andy“.

Subsequently Andy hilariously stated, “Objection. You guys took a nude photo album without me. Hence, the five of you can release a nude album. I will release one by myself,” causing the members to laugh at his explosive declaration.

Dongwan, who was momentarily shocked by Andy’s statement, said, “Then your personal nude photos can be the on the appendix pages following after our member’s nude photo album“, generating laughter from the members.

Shin Hyesung, who was on the team that had to argue for the topic, stated, “Were our opinions considered when we first selected the leader? Eric became the leader just because he is the oldest member and the tallest.”

He added on, “I am not saying that Eric should not be the leader. I just want to have a democratic election to pick the leader.”

Lee Minwoo, member of the team that had to argue against the topic, countered, “We can’t change the leader. Eric has been doing well as a leader. We shouldn’t be saying things like this, instead we need to give Eric applause for carrying out his position as a leader well.”

Few Shinhwa members would like to release another set of nude photos?

In 2000, Shinhwa became the first idol group to release a nude photo album and the boys were asked if they would do it again.

Shinhwa recently filmed an episode of their JTBC variety program ‘Shinhwa Broadcast‘, where they set out to find out which of the members had the most eloquent speech.

During the ‘Speech Channel – Speaking God‘ corner, the members were required to discuss certain topics without letting their heart rates exceed 120. When debating whether or not to release another set of nude pictorials, members Jun Jin, Kim Dongwan and Shin Hyesung had to argue for another nude photo album, while Eric, Andy, and Lee Minwoo had to speak against it.

Though the members were unable to hide their shock upon hearing the unexpected question, the members quickly got into a heated debate.

Kim Dongwan was all for another photoshoot saying, “Our bodies from 13 years ago and now are very different.” On the other hand, Eric argued, “We don’t have idol bodies.”

Eric criticized the way Shin Hyesung’s body looked back when they shot their nude photo shoot 13 years ago, but Hyesung hilariously explained, “I was suddenly kidnapped to East Asia [for the shoot] without even being given any time to prepare.”

Meanwhile, the next episode of ‘Shinhwa Broadcast’ will air May 26th at 10:55PM KST.
