Warning: This is regarding to the current issue of
Dongwan’s delay for enlistment calling. This is a personal comment. Each
content is not deliberately intended to cause any hard feelings whatsoever to
anyone anywhere. Therefore I apologize in advance.
i respect Dongwan’s decision anyway it is. perhaps he’s got
strong reasons why he can’t leave for a 2 and a half year break… however, what
if he didn’t have a sound reason? (I stress here,
What IF)
i’ve read in various forums about some people’s reaction to
him being called in for boot camp… saying stuff like ‘Shinhwa won’t be the same
anymore’ and etc. bah.. in my opinion, i strongly feel that Dongwan should go
enlist now. Why?
It’s only army camp, right? it’s not as
if Shinhwa is disbanding. isn’t it ridiculous that fans would fall out over a
simple matter? There are entertainers who’ve had great comebacks; eg:
Kwon Sang Woo.
For Shinhwa Fans - Something We Should Take to Heart.
i’d like to correct that common judgement. c’mon lah, if
every Shinhwa fan think like that (that an absence of a member) mean that
Shinhwa will lose popularity so soon, for example 3 years... (They’ve been in
showbiz for >7)… buck up. Consider this.
Stars are human too.
we’re here to support THEM, our idols. they have their own lives. why should they jeopardize their future to appease people
like the described above?
6 – 1 = 5. it’s not like it’s gonna be 6 – 6..
i’m sorry to say, that by losing fans that way… only proves who is more loyal to their idols. unless of course fans left for a
different reason other than this. but i’m not here to discuss that.
Yes, there’ll be other new groups growing like mushrooms.
and yes, people do move on (to other groups). i know Entertainment Industries
(Korean or otherwise) have always been this way and thrives on it. like i said,
i have no comment on that.
let’s look at it this way. i’ll throw in a Pro vs
Con list:
The possible effects of Shinhwa MINUS a member (Dongwan)
for < @ = 3 years.
Cons:
1. fans lessen due to lack of.. eyecandy? OR due to _________
(fill in blank)
2. shinhwa music value might deteriorate; loss of vocal
prowess + drop in album sales (that’s 3 jibs worth of revenue)
3. shinhwa music style might change; people may not prefer a
different style (aka a ‘different Shinhwa’)
4. in Dongwan’s case: no drama, no cash flow
Pros:
1. shinhwa gain fans + REgain fans (admit it,
how many % of fans leaving? And Shinhwa has HOW many fans??) <---
It’s not gonna make a huge difference.
2. music style might change;
it’s called improvisation + UP in album sales
3. in Dongwan’s case: his acting/singing/misc could improve…
4. (last but not least) he’ll be more relaxed: duty’s done. he’s
got all the time on his hands to DIVE himself into work. his career will
be smooth sailing after that! imagine no hassles of further delaying and
delaying and delaying (which would turn into a court case)…
don’t know if i got all that covered. anybody up to adding
more Pro @ Con? care to add a Pro vs Con list if he DOESN’T go for camp as yet?
people judge things in their own way. don’t
incriminate me for something i believe in. this is only an opinion.
