Shin Hwa’s Lee Min Woo turns back with cheering fans

Since February, 2010, Shin Hwa’s Lee Min Woo has served as a public service worker. On March 2, he fulfilled his two-year military duty, and held an event with fans both at home and abroad to celebrate his honorable discharge from the army.

His discharge makes all six members of Shin Hwa complete their military duties. Shin Hwa, so called the grandfather of ‘idol’ groups, is poised to return around the middle of this month.

Lee is planning to release a new album within this month. On March 24, when Shin Hwa marks its 14th birthday, the members including Lee hold an independent concert in four years at the Olympic Hall in the Olympic Park.

Since formed in 1998, Shin Hwa has been a popular ‘idol’ group for almost 14 years without any member replaced.
