Shinhwa’s Lee Min Woo is training the “2nd Shinhwa?”

Shinhwa member / solo artist and Minnovator, Lee Min Woo, recently made a bold announcement that he is in the process of training a Kpop group that he hopes will be the “2nd Shinhwa.”

Min Woo stated that he’s training a group of new singers that are under his management agency M Rising Entertainment with the intention of having them be the 2nd Shinhwa. He went on to say that most of the new groups in the Korean music industry today seem to be the same in many ways which makes it difficult to be a successful group in the Kpop scene. As a result, in relation to the group he’s training, Min Woo said it’s extremely imperative to find and accentuate the group’s unique musical abilities in order to set them apart from the other Kpop groups in the industry.

Min Woo hopes to instill the same work ethic and camaraderie that Shinhwa has into the group he’s training. Min Woo said that all of the members of Shinhwa would always give back double the amount of whatever they received from another member. This act of solidarity between the Shinhwa members therefore infused confidence in each other’s performing capabilities.

Lee Min Woo didn’t give any details on what the “2nd Shinhwa” group’s name is or when they will debut but he did say that their first single has already been chosen.

Lee Min Woo has his work cut out for him given that Shinhwa is one of the most popular groups in Kpop history. The members of Shinhwa were, and to an extent still are, not only successful in the music industry but in the entertainment industry as a whole, appearing in countless variety shows, K-dramas, etc. Min Woo’s obviously trying to start the hype machine for this new group he’s grooming a little early. His audacious announcement might also be a symptom of his little-man syndrome. And wasn't he supposed to go the army? Either way, I say good luck Min Woo because you damn well will need it.

It’s true what he said about all the new groups having the same concept and looking alike. I’m curious as to what he will bring us and if the second Shinhwa is someone worth watching. We all remember Battle don’t we? aka also the second Shinhwa…..

Ohh cool. i wonder how that will go. Cause last heard they wanted Battle to be the next Shinhwa but that went down the tubes. Wonder what will happen this time. Good Luck.
No band will ever beat out the original though.

well…........ giving the whole project the name of “2nd shinhwa” already makes it stale… there’s never ANY 2nd something… it’s impossible… and besides that, shinhwa has seen better days and anything retro won’t work well… it’s gotta be something new, something fresh if you want to get far with it…

Good luck Minwoo! Hopefully this group has more succes than the other 2nd Shinhwa ‘Battle’ . But i think they will have that since these guys are trained by Minwoo and not by Good ent.
On the other hand, I hope he does well, but i hope he realizes that he wasn’t the one who made Shinhwa succesfull wink

sho0rty's avatar

what happend to battle being the second shinhwa? O_O I know that they’re going to be split up for two years with two memebers gone to the army but that’s a bit harsh to say that there’s going to be another band to take over them O_O

orenjilover's avatar

I thought BATTLE was supposed to be the 2nd Shinhwa?  Good luck on finding one, but I don’t think it’ll have the same popularity as the original one. =]

 
humorFool's avatar

That sounds interesting! I can’t wait for a boy band to debut. :D

 
cheerios's avatar

a 2nd shinhwa hmmmmmmmmmmmm but i don’t think that’d happen since the original shinhwa is so awesome its hard to replace=]

 
soap_bubbles's avatar

It’s hard to compare one great group “Shinhwa”  with another group still as yet unknown.  There will be a lot of expectations and comparisons, that it’s going to be hard for this “new group” to cement their identity.  But I wish them luck and looking forward to a new group that’s not all girls.

 
medirin's avatar

Wasn’t Battle supposed to be the next Shinhwa?? I don’t think they were too successful, so I don’t expect much from this “2nd Shinhwa” either.

2nd Shinhwa, interesting…

I’m still waiting for the next TVXQ.  But that seems impossible, rofl (especially since they’re still active).

No one can replace Shinhwa even a group that’s train or picked by the members themselves. Remember Battle Shinhwa? The boys faded into nothingness after the initial hype. I guess after alls said and done, there’ll never be another Shinhwa for this lifetime.

 
juhaynee's avatar

Uh..I don’t think that there can be another “Shinhwa”, because the first one set such a standard and was a real legend. Like 42 said, Battle Shinhwa was such a failure and just naming them the 2nd Shinhwa won’t guarantee them success. I miss the Shinhwa days though..
