Shinhwa leader Eric has become the first Shinhwa member to enlist as he reported for military duty in the afternoon of 9th Oct at Nonsan Training Center, and will undergo 4 weeks of military training before being despatched to serve in the civil service.
Eric joked during the meeting with the media and fans, "The saddest members were Hyesung and Junjin, they had this sad look on their faces. Andy seemed the happiest, he kept smiling."
Eric had met up with the members on 7th Oct for dinner and some drinks.
When asked what the music scene will be like now that he's about to enlist, he joked again, "Hyesung will hold the fort."
About the worries of Shinhwa disbanding, Eric had this to say, "During Shinhwa's 10th anniversary concert, we already made a promise to the fans that we will hold another concert in 4 years' time when all of us have fulfilled our duties to the country. We will keep this promise."
He added, "I'd like to thank all the fans who love Shinhwa, very soon the members will be back after serving the nation. Please wait for us until then, and I will do my best during training and I'll be back."
"Kim Dongwan will be enlisting in November as well, after which the others will enlist one by one. I'll be the first to be back then, and I'll be back safe and healthy."
