Rising to the status of idol star together with the rest of Shinhwa, and then becoming a force to be reckoned with in the variety world, Junjin shared with us the secret behind his successful transformation.



During a recent interview with Sports Seoul, we asked Junjin, “Don’t the other Shinhwa members envy you for being so active in the variety circle?” His reply - “Dongwan hyung texted me and asked me, ‘What do I need to do to fare as well as you?’ and I asked him in return if he had ever experienced not having a single cent in his bank account.”

“After being cheated several times, I ended with a zero in my bank account. And after having been through that, when I started working on ‘Infinite Challenge’, I didn’t think about my image as an idol at all, I just unconditionally worked hard at it. Seems that doing that got me the recognition from the viewers.”

Haha, who was the one of the original IC members but had to leave for military service, also sent Junjin a text message to encourage him. Junjin said, “I’m already close to Haha hyung to being with, when I got confirmed as an IC member, Haha hyung sent me a message that read, ‘Work hard on my behalf too!’ That really gave me a lot of strength.”

That picture looks like it was shot in some shady meth lab somewhere.

I agree (and in that context, it is freaky that one of the girls is holding a bunny). Where is it from, anyway? :D

I have no idea where it's from. It doesn't help that they all seem strung out as well. omg Your icon reminded me of this, did you ever see that video segment of where Ohno was staying in that haunted house where somebody supposedly killed themselves? hahaha doesn't that picture remind you of the condition the house was in lol

Yeah, I did see that. Ohno is a foil to end all pranks which is really the reason why prankster!Nino loves him. I guess it does kinda have the feel of that house. Except more illicit. xD

Hmm wasn't it Junjin who was blackmailed ala HYD style? I wonder if he lost some money that way.

Ok well I read all about it when I was way into Shinhwa a couple of years ago. I believe it happened in 2003, but I could be wrong. So anyways the story goes he was drunk or drugged and was taken/kidnapped to a hotel and photos were taken of him naked in bed with a lady. They were blackmailing him with exposure so he went public with the story during a press conference. Now I know I've seen the pictures, but I can't find them anymore.

The fans don't talk about it since it's "hurtful" to , I searched crazy for the photo, but not luck :( That's a great idea! I found a thread on Soompi full of old kpop scandals.
