i believe they are the winners from "Battle Shinhwa 2" the members are Kihyun,Chris,Ryu,lio,hwichan and Tae Hwa. they have recently released their first single "Crash" check out their music video Crash on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74nVSgVuYTE)

from the pic i posted, they look yummy. from what i heard, some people like to compare them by looks to Shinhwa and DBSK or TVXQ.

so anyone heard of them? or watched their audition in battle shinhwa?

[Saharial]

I've yet to downlaod and watch the auditions.
I migth get thier single, btu i think its a shame how some fans constantly compare them withsbhinhwa.
it will make it so hard for them in future cos the music style will be similar i am sure.

i know they were made as a 'second shinhwa' but after the long gap between the show and thier launch it would be good they could be seen for themselves a bit more.

:) shinhwa isnt a bad shadow to be under though hhe, but then i am monumentally biased :D

[ker_ai_teresa]

I just don't like the idea that they were made to, in a way, "replace" Shinhwa.
it's pretty hard to look past the fact that they are a 6 guy 'boyband.'

meh. it's always been a touchy subject for me.

[ftlouiea]

And they're under GOOD! too?!

Grr. Hmm :hmm: Have just been seeing a lot of cuts made of their performances. Maybe people are knocking around and giving them a lot of publicity cos they think Battle are around to stay... rival DBSK? We. shall. see. :bounce:

[sushii]

i got they're cd..single. w.e it was pretty good they're not bad singers. i think it pretty cool that they were hand picked by shinhwa and shinhwa helped train them too.(thats what i heard i'm not too sure though) i really liked their song crash and they're not too bad looking too.. =)

Ditto. :cry:

I *can't stand* when people label their downloads as "Battle Shinhwa" or the likes. ><

Personally I'm not against them. There's some talent there. I just want to see them as another boyband - not anotherShinhwalikeboyband. =.= I like Crash. =)

[MV] Battle - Crash (Crazy In Love) (http://www.sendspace.com/file/r0hzy9)

They weren't bad live. ^^

[ker_ai_teresa]

yeah. I just edited a thread bearing the Shinhwa Battle title. :oops:

I've only watched their MV for Crash and they seem okay. I suppose the only difference between them and SH is they don't have rappers???

The road ahead for them may prove difficult. people will compare them to SH. they may not get support from established SH fans....well if any of them have the same opinion as I do anyway. :rolleyes:

[pinkfireworks]

I thought they were 3 rappers and 3 vocalists like Shinhwa? .__. But I wouldn't be sure, because I'm not that into them individually... I barely know their names.^^;;

But the difference... is that they're not Shinhwa. :rolleyes:

*sick of hearing Shinhwa 2* :oops:

I was amazed at how one of the Battle forums has grown though... have you seen Battle International? 1000+ members in a month. o.o

[ker_ai_teresa]

so they do have rappers?

oh well.....:oops:

wow, big fanbase already? I guess it was due to the publicity they had during Battle Shinhwa.
well I do wish them the best of luck....just don't be TOO similar to SH is all I ask. :sweat:

[Saharial]

well people have already labelled chris and lio jinsyung junior and some fans actually have the nerve to state that if you don't see the similarities then you can't call yourself a shinhwa fan -_-

I feel quite bad for Battle really, they have a heavy weight of comparison on them and they will never shake it off simply because of the way in which they were formed.

They are talented sure, and shinhw ado help train them. Lio was on Junjin's 'come back ruff' perfs as a guest rapper.

They will ahve the same songwriters as shinhwa do, so the sound will be similar, after all, maybe that's what Good ent is aiming for seeng as when Shinha eneter the army thier big money spinner will vanih for a bit.

For sure they have Hyesung and will probably relase a ton of shinhwa things to keep fans buying, but they need someone else to fill thuier gap -_-.

yeah - I'm cynical I know, but after 2 years of following the k-pop industry its hard not to be.

[xue_ni]

i actually like them!
i love their song ICARUS :]
but they really DO remind me of Shinhwa, and the song icarus is similar with "once in a lifetime"... anyway, does anyone have more info on them?

[zhy378]

anyway, does anyone have more info on them?

all i know is that their age is from 18-20, so they're young just like new korean boybands these days... the more i listen to their songs, the more i wanna hear from them. :happy: tho, it is still tough to be pressure to be the next 'shinhwa'

[Sha]

Yay for Battle!

They're cool. I love Crash and Icarus. And Ki Hyun, OMG. Those eyes :excited:

I'm impatiently waiting for their album to come out.

[zhy378]

hope its not one of you guys who done this:

"Battle, aka 2nd generation Shinhwa, was stalked by die-hard Thai fans back in May. According to these six Shinhwa wannabes, they found pictures of themselves along with the note saying “We know everywhere you go. I hope you enjoy your nights here in Thailand!” (우리는 당신들이 가는 곳을 다 알고 있다. 태국에서 즐거운 밤을 보내길 바란다) on their bed. How freaky! They asked the hotel security to check the security cameras, but nothing was found."
-source popseoul

:angel: that is scary, getting a note like that.....:shifty: but at least they know they have some hardcore fans even in thailand!... how fantastic...

[zhoudaoyan]

hey i saw these guys when they first debuted when i was holidaying in Korea

like i turned on the tv and they were saying how these guys are very much like Shinhwa and they were performing shinhwa's perfect man song.

lol.
they seem to be pretty good at dancing and singing...

[Hyde]

OKAY

Guys???
I think I found something relevant. This being a Jay Chou forum.
