I can’t quite remember when this interview was done, but if I don’t recall wrongly it was probably during the 2nd jib… when they were young and….naive(?) 
But in any case, obviously their criteria would have changed over the years… so just have a good laugh going through the checklist and see if you make the cut!

but damn eric and i think alike A LOT.. it amazes me from the day i became their fan and came to know i share same d.ob with him.. but still not my type..
andy and hyesung though….. eeeeeeeee love ya guys can we ignore the fact that im 15 yrs younger ? please??
Hyesung: I really really love you, be my other half
Me: O.O !!! RIP
ROFL This was hilarious!!!! I was cracking up with the comments in parenthesis hahahahaha I’m not their standard
but hahahaha life spins a lot sooo maybe their fated one isn’t like their standard?? Hahahahah
Thanks for sharing!!!
I failed from the start. Lesser than 160cm T.T height discrimination!!!
Some of these crack me up. I am new about shinhwa so many many many things I just read. And this one new too for me. XD
i met all the requirements except the age gap
FATE, Y U NO HELP?~~~
By the time I reached the age difference section, I felt like my soul departed from my body. It’s like a punch in the gut.
HYESUNG OPPA, BLAME FATE FOR MAKING ME LESS THAN A MONTH OLD ON YOUR DEBUT. /SOBBING
The only thing that crossed my mind after reading this: “Minwoo: You’ve been chosen by me!”, was: GO PIKACHU xD
really funny make me laugh aut laud hahahaha….
Just a suggestion, why not anyone gives all the questions above to the guys once more, see if there’s any changes.
lol , are they for real…???
I LOVE THIS! Especially the commentary in parentheses!
AWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I totally wanna be Min Woo’s girlfriend!!! Do you have a fever?! Lol.. So mean!!!! I would cry!!!! :’(
The checklist-very interesting, I enjoyed it very much, have a good laugh.I didn’t know Shinhwa’s criteria so cute,so amusing. One thing for sure all of them like straight,long hair girls ,but in reality before marriage (long hair)after it will probably is short hair because is less hassle (haha).I guess looking for partner have to be mutual understanding,love and respect-if only Shinwa’s guys are born earlier ,good clip, very funny…………..
Reading their Check List makes me laugh and miss them more! I wish there have a program in the future which they will asked Shinhwa the same set of question! It would be so interesting to compare their answers! (lol) and agree with the last part..Wannie’s answer seems the sweetest!
Aw, their answers are funny and cute.
lmao , just found this blog, n fall in love right away
ooo, i really miss them
lmao for all the comments
haha… this is hilarious… wonder if they have change the criteria now…
the checklist is great red !
omg, just couldnt stop laughing throughout the whole thing! its so hilarious… lol at dongwan and his obsession with health. and hyesung and the hair! lol, but his hair is nice when kept long and tied back, like in his first concert or 10th anniversary!
shinhwa, never fails to make me laugh.
we’ll be waiting for your comeback!
<3 shinhwa forever
hyesung..i hope i can be in the way u want..love this perfect checklist ^^
I laughed a lot while reading their checklist……Wannie so funny forehead and hands…. Why forehead??? Still worried about baldness????
wannie, i’ll make you happy too..!!!^^.
Well, I have to confess that I have laughed and blushed a lot during the reading. ha ha ha
Dongwan shi is so cute.
Anyway, somehow I feel that Hyesung shi and Eric shi answers are quite the same… their answers are in different aspects but are in the same direction.
tee hee, eric and hyesung think the same… ricsyung anyone? lol
they are not water and oil actually , they are similliar each another so thats the reason they’ve been awkward, read this check list several times already but still makes me giggles.
Thanks su

Thanks!
I wonder if they changed their opinion now.
hahahhaha su your comments are hilarious ( in a good way k!)

I don’t think i’ve met any of the requirements. HAHA HOW? i’m a lively bubbly person but i get pissed easily like hyesung… haha

keke…I would love to have them do another checklist to see how much it varies from years back.
One thing for sure, you Wannie’s girls should stock up on the VITAMIN. The better VITAMIN the higher score you’ll get!
