Shinhwa (신화) is the Korean word for myth or story (the term is used frequently in the studies of ancient Korean lore, particularly as it relates to Shamanism), and is the name of perhaps the most popular Korean boy band still active. The group has six members (with 3 vocalists and 3 rappers), and debuted on March 24, 1998 under management of the SM Entertainment label.
The six-member group debuted on March 24, 1998 with a concert performance on Korean music show, KM Music Tank, of their first single, entitled "Hae Gyul Sah" ("Problem Solver").

Shinhwa was formed under the management of SM Entertainment, and in July 2003 signed a new contract with a new record label, Good! Entertainment.

Shinhwa has released seven regular albums, one 'best of' album, and two special albums. They have changed musical styles throughout their career, creating a variation of popular music for fans and general K-pop listeners. Their past styles have included rock, rap, pop, ballad, and R&B. Shinhwa is also famous for their coordinated and well-choreographed dance performances in videos and in concert.

Band members

Shinhwa has six members:

  1. Eric Mun (Korean name: Mun Jung Hyuk 문정혁; 16 February 1979; English rapper) LEADER
  2. Lee Min Woo (이민우; 28 July 1979; vocalist)
  3. Kim Dong Wan (김동완; 21 November 1979; vocalist)
  4. Shin Hye Sung (Real name: Jung Pil Kyo 정필교; 27 November 1979; lead vocalist)
  5. Jun Jin (Real name: Park Choong Jae 박충재; 19 August 1980; rapper & vocalist) # Andy Lee (Korean name: Lee Sun Ho 이선호; 21 January 1981; rapper)
  • Hye Sung was the first to join the group, after auditioning in the U.S.
  • Then Andy was chosen as he was already known to SM Entertainment as a once-candidate for another Korean boyband, H.O.T, with his friend and H.O.T ex-member Tony An, though he was prohibited by his parents from joining H.O.T because he was too young at the time.
  • Eric joined not long after Andy.
  • Min Woo was discovered in a dance group by a SM scout.
  • Dong Wan joined after he saw a preview video of the existing Shinhwa members.
  • Jun Jin made it as the final member through an audition backed by his high school friend, Kangta (ex-member of H.O.T).
