[30.1.12][News] Shinhwa "Penalty if violation of promise to quit drinking and exercise...The attitude of a rookie"

Hmm how long will they survive?
thank you for the translation <3

"To have the mentality of rookie..."

The strict rule that Shinhwa, whose comeback is in March, abide in preparation for the new album became a topic.

Shinhwa representative stated that in order to keep the promise of "Building a fit body", Shinhwa has been abstaining from alcohol and has been exercising everyday.

If anyone fail to keep the promise, they will have to pay a fine. Starting from December last year, the members have dance practise for at least two times a week at a dance studio in Gangnam and they have to pay a fine if they fail to turn up for the practise.

The members will be concentrating fully on the comeback and will not have any solo activities until the end of promotion for Shinhwa's official album activities. Eric, Andy have actually either rejected the proposals for movies and dramas or pushing it back till after May. Junjin is also not releasing a solo album first so as to concentrate on Shinhwa's activities.

The reason why Shinhwa set these stricts rules is not solely due to commemorating the return, but also to keep the brand of Shinhwa with pride. Those around Shinhwa said "Frankly speaking, we thought they could not last more than 3 days. They are really putting in lots of effort in prepraring for the comeback."

One of the agent who have been with Shinhwa since their debut revealed "We have never seen them preparing so eagerly and earnestly. Even their expression looks different when recording the songs or during dance practices."

Shinhwa will be releasing their 10th album by mid March and will be holding their comeback concert in Olympic Gymnastics Arena, Seoul on March 24th and 25th.
