Shinhwa Members Plan Solo Concerts: Lee Min Woo, Kim Dong Wan & Andy

Pop group Shinhwa members Lee Min-woo, Andy and Kim Dong-wan are each holding solo concerts for fans this coming fall. The six-member group Shinhwa is one of the most popular boy bands here and the oldest of its kind. While other members from boy groups like H.O.T. and g.o.d disbanded and went solo, Shinhwa stood together while managing to pursue individual careers as actors and solo singers for the last 10 years.Lee, also known as M, will be the first to hold a solo concert, along with the release of his fourth album in August. Fans will have the chance to see the 28-year old singer's distinctive and creative stage performance, not as a member of a hit pop group, but as a rising solo artist. The singer will also hold concerts in Singapore and Japan later this year as part of his Asia tour. M's concert will be held in the Fencing Stadium at the Olympic Park, Aug. 23. For more information call (02) 3446-4967.
Andy, 27, who released his first solo album early this year and held concerts here, China and Japan, will once again return to the stage with a large scale performance. He has been busy as an actor and television show host, appearing in the musical ``Polaroid'' and television show ``We Got Married.'' At his concert ``Shall We Fall in Love?'' Andy will offer romantic and delicate love songs among others. Fans can also discover the singer's tough side, for he has prepared a powerful performance that will wash away his soft image. The concert will also display a musical-like setting with special events for couples. Andy's concerts will be held at Dom Art Hall located at Children's Grand Park, Sept. 6 and 7. He will also perform in Daegu and Busan, Sept. 20 and 21, respectively. For more information, call 1566-1774.
Fellow member Kim Dong Wan is holding his first concert as a solo singer in September. The 29-year-old singer and actor appeared at the launching of his repackaged second album ``The Secret Between Us Part II'' last week and thanked fans for waiting. Kim also announced that he was leaving for mandatory military service later this year. Kim's concert "Promise'' will be his last gift to fans before leaving.``I'm actually very worried because this is my first solo concert. It will be a concert that will portray my own colors and style,'' he said.The concert will be held at Welch-Ryang Auditorium, Ewha Womans University Sept. 20 and 21.
