Welcome to Absolut Shinhwa –  On an ORANGE high with 6 perfect men since 24 March 1998…

Giving a shoutout to all Shinhwa fans from a tiny island called Singapore, and also from somewhere in the United States!

midnightgirl13 is Su / Su-mi / April from a small small country called Singapore and has fallen victim to the 4D charms of Shinhwa Company’s CEO Mun…

This blog will be dedicated to all Shinhwa news and info, and I hope this will provide English-speaking Shinhwa fans with their regular Shinhwa fix. 🙂

Just two things that we’re somewhat particular about:

  • No hotlinking of images
  • If you’d like to repost the news articles and any translated articles somewhere else, please do so with proper credits

If you’re moving the article/picture/video/whatever out of here, leaving a short note would be nice… If you don’t, well…too bad for us then hehe 🙂

Feel free to make comments, but of course basic netiquette applies here too – no flaming, no bashing, no spamming, no trolling… Other than that – just have crajee fun here!

*sticks hand out*

우리는 영원한 신화입니다!

  1. Hi Sumi,

    Thank you for your awesome blog. Me and a few other friends (Shinchangs) have made this page to spread the orange love. We are looking for a few more admins who are able to translate people’s messages, monitor the page and also spread the word about the page. Please let me know if you are interested! (send us a private message)

  5. hy ! a great website ! im also from SIngapore…. Just like them for about 3 months ago because of Eric! i found that they are cooler and better that younger boyband. I Really Like them eventhough im still 19 and theres almost 20 years age difference between me and them. I never like the boyband like this before… i found that Shinhwa’s member relationship is not like other boyband which only exist because of work. For me, they’re like a brothers. Hope they still exist for 14 years more ! its so sad that ive missed their 9 previous album.. Btw, do u know where can i get them?

  7. Hi Su Mi! Thanks for constantly updating us on what our 6 favourite men have been up to. Only started getting into them this year but after trawling your blog and youtube I feel like I’ve known them forever.. And still constantly get touched by their intense bond with each other.. Anyways I might be heading to Korea soon and was wondering if you knew the address of Minwoo’s bar Gaepan? Would be pretty amazing to pop by and have a drink there..

  12. Hi Su-Mi! It’s my first time visit here. I am trying to inform those who love Shinhwa but live outside of Korea how to do MP3 streaming. http://www.bugs.co.kr <— this is one of the two most important /primary mp3 streaming sites in Korea. Currently Shinhwa's Venus is doing poorly despite the amazing quality of their music… Bugs.co.kr does not require those who join via facebook to pay for the first week of the streaming. So basically log in with facebook account, then you get a free -7day-streaming. Then you can play Shinhwa's venus and contribute to Shinhwa's ranking. (the rank is calculated hourly. so play it once per hour!)

    Seems like you are fluent or conversant in Korean. I really hope that you could help spread the words to all the foreign fans. We only have this week or possibly next week for Shinhwa to earn the first place award in Korean music shows. So it's pretty urgent that the streaming rank go up soon. If you need more guidance regarding how to get the free streaming etc, visit http://www.980324.com then search the freeboard by nickname 유환. She has created screen shots of Bugs in order to make it easier for foreign fans to follow. Thanks a lot! Hope all of us can do a little for our dear Shinhwa!

    1. I & many other tried to take advantage of the 7-day free streaming on Bugs Music but it doesn’t seem to work for us…. At first it let me add the song to playlist but it only play 45 seconds instead of the full song. I tried again and it now say “not serivce IP” wonder if theis Facebook offer only works for Korean IP only…..

      There is a turtorial on this free Facebook offer not sure if it’s still good

  24. hehe, you’re done with the change? not sure if it’s just me but I don’t see any comments in the About section at all.

    Like the new design, not so sure about the brick wall though 😀

    Reply

    1. You’re right – comments on the pages can’t be seen for some reason.

      Waiting for WordPress to get back on this.

      And the brick wall – just a stand-in till I find something better. Sorry it’s not to your liking though 🙂

  32. This took me a while to notice…despite having been reading your blog for updates on the boys…you’re Singaporean and also a fan of 1N2D? Together with the boys, that almost makes us kindred spirits. lol. You wouldn’t happen to be a fan of 五月天 too right?

    Reply

  33. You are really good at Korean, right? Your translations are wonderful. For a while, I thot u were Korean. I’m working hard on my Korean studies now….

    Thanks for all the daily updates on Shinhwa.

    From S’pore too.
