Shinhwa [Shinhwa Company]

Top Korean idol group Shinhwa has pushed back the release date of the new edition of their album "THE RETURN," according to their agency Shinhwa Company on Wednesday. "Thanks Edition," which is being released to show the members' appreciation to their fans' support toward the tenth full-length album, "THE RETURN," will hit stores on April 11, a rep from Shinhwa Company told 10Asia over the phone."We originally scheduled the new edition to go on sale this Friday. However, we postponed the release date to next Wednesday due to the overwhelming number of orders for the new edition," the official explained. The “Thanks Edition” will be packaged in a white box with a new logo of the group on the cover, with a 70-page photo book of Shinhwa included. Shinhwa, composed of Kim Dong-wan, Lee Min-woo, Shin Hye-sung, Andy, Eric and Jun Jin , broke into the music scene as one of the earliest idol groups to make their debut in Korea with the debut album “Trouble-setter” in 1998. Upon their comeback in late March, the boys held the 14th anniversary concert, "2012 SHINHWA GRAND TOUR IN SEOUL 'THE RETURN',” on March 25, and have been recording for their own televised program, “Shinhwa Broadcasting,” on a cable network. With a satisfying result with the album’s promotion in the country, Shinhwa is scheduled to launch their Asia tour which will open in Taipei, China, Japan and Singapore starting April 30. ※ Any copying, republication or redistribution of 10Asia's content is expressly prohibited without prior consent of 10Asia.
