Shinhwa‘s Junjin hilariously showed dissatisfaction towards the group leader Eric. On the May 26th episode of JTBC‘s ‘Shinhwa Broadcast‘, the members of Shinhwa had a debate to pick the ‘God of Harsh Talk’. One of the debate topics was “Shinhwa’s leader must be changed”, which made leader Eric slightly uncomfortable.

Shin Hyesung, who was on the team that had to argue for the topic, stated, “Were our opinions considered when we first selected the leader? Eric became the leader just because he is the oldest member and the tallest.” He added on, “I am not saying that Eric should not be the leader. I just want to have a democratic election to pick the leader.” Lee Minwoo, member of the team that had to argue against the topic, countered, “We can’t change the leader. Eric has been doing well as a leader. We shouldn’t be saying things like this, instead we need to give Eric applause for carrying out his position as a leader well.” Junjin then hilariously responded, “There’s a saying that goes, ‘leave when people applaud for you’. I’ll clap for Eric now, so please leave!” causing the set to roar in laughter.

In JTBC's sitcom "I live in Cheongdamdong"'s idol group "Cheongdam Invincible" who was preparing for their debut, Minwoo was one of the characters. The fact of him not debuting with BTOB had upset fans.

BTOB had said "hello" in their first appearance through the sit com "I live in Cheongdamdong" and later ma...de their fictional debut through the drama during February with "I stole those lips". After the group name "BTOB" was revealed, they made their first showcase on the 21st, kick-starting all their activities.

It was stated from the start that Suh Eunkwang, Lee Minhyuk, Lee Hyunshik, Jung Ilhoon and Lee Minwoo were on the list of members who are waiting to be debuted under the name of "BTOB". However, Minwoo had dropped out of the list of confirmed members after their first appearance on the sitcom. Lee Changsub, Lee Sungjae and Peniel were then added into the group.

The management company had stated: "There are problems with Minwoo's health, and he is unable to blend into the group." some of the staffs of the management company had added that he is still a trainee under cube. If his health is to recover, he might still get a chance to debut.

Please take out with full credits!

It is indeed impossible to stop time.

SNSD (Girls’ Generation), Wonder Girls, Kara, T-ara, B2ST, and MBLAQ‘s members that were born in the later half of the 1980s and the early 1990s have led the boy group/ girl group craze the past few years. However, the once young and fresh idols have now become mature sunbae stars, and the younger members have taken their places.

In the music industry, the new leading faces of the idols are the ones born between 1994 and 1996, and the ones born in the mid- 90s. It has now become the norm to meet the mid 90s idols on any music show.

At the forefront of the mid-90s idols are stars born in 1994, or high school seniors this year, such as f(x)‘s Sulli and Krystal, miss A‘s Suzy, 4Minute‘s Kwon So Hyun, and Dal Shabet‘s Subin.

After only 2-3 years since their debut, with their charming looks and innocence being a given, these stars have a prominent presence in not only the music industry, but also in dramas and variety shows. They have already become top star grade. Furthermore, showing constant improvement and endless possibilities, these 1994 stars are gaining fandom day by day.

Furthermore, there are plenty of idol singers even younger than the 1994 stars.

A Pink‘s Kim Namjoo, Boyfriend‘s twin brothers Kwangmin and Youngmin, as well as Minwoo, B.A.P‘s Jongup, and other stars that have been very active since their debut last year and this year are at the forefront of the 1995s.

Rookie group Nu’est will be debuting this month from Pledis Entertainment (company of After School and Son Dambi). Four of the five members, J.R, Len, Baekho, and Minhyun are 1995s, attracting much attention.

The youngest of the mid 90s idols are the 96 stars A Pink‘s Oh Hayoung, and B.A.P‘s Zelo.

However, while the mid 90s idols have an advantage of having started the idol lifestyle early, they also have disadvantages.

The lack of harmonious development of skills and character due to experience are one of them.

One expert in the music industry commented, “Even if they debuted at a young age, a pro ought to be a pro” and “especially if they pass the age of twenty, the industry and the fans both have higher standards, and if the stars do not constantly concentrate on improving their skills, they could die out, just like that.”

Furthermore, he advised, “After becoming a star at a young age, if even temporarily, they start losing popularity, there are instances where they will stray majorly. To prevent this, both the stars and the recording company must do their best to develop their emotional growth.”
