US-based magazine, ‘The Atlantic,’ mentioned Shinhwa in its article about… Backstreet Boys.
The article, titled ‘What the Backstreet Boys Could Learn from K-Pop‘ talked about how Backstreet Boys may be the longest running group in the history of all boy bands, but may be having a hard time gaining new fans. The author of this article, Amy He, compared Backstreet Boys to Shinhwa, who made their comeback in 2012 after a four year hiatus and still managed to gain new fans while rising to the top of the charts with its new albums.
Amy He wrote, “What the Backstreet Boys can learn from Shinhwa, then, is to get over the awkwardness of being grown men in a boy band and embrace the jokes thrown their way.” She also added that Shinhwa was acting as a bridge to connect the seniors and juniors in a friendly way, despite Korea’s strict hierarchy rules.
Shinhwa Company commented the article, saying, “We’re very happy and a slightly feeling burdened that Shinhwa is being spotlighted in Asia and even USA. We will always do our best best to become an example to junior singers in the future and to let K-Pop known overseas. Thank you.”
