Popular pop group Shinhwa, who will be celebrating their 10th anniversary this year, has hit back at rumorrs about disbanding.

Appearing on a segment "Korean Idols" on the March 9th telecast of OBS Kyungin TV's "Watch Show and Movie", Kim Dongwan shared more about Shinhwa's future plans.

Kim Dongwan said, "Although there are rumours about Shinhwa's plans after releasing our 9th jib, none of them are true. Though our solo activities will continue, Shinhwa activities will still continue when we're all back from the army."

Adding on, he said, "Maybe it's because it's our 10th anniversary this year, it's quite funny to hear rumours about us disbanding. Having gone through thick and thin together, the members are even closer than real brothers. And we're very proud of that."

Kim Dongwan also expressed gratitude towards the fans, "The reason why Shinhwa is able to last through the years to become the longest-running group in Korea is all because of the fans. To all the fans who are still supporting Shinhwa now, we are very grateful to them."

Despite generally poor conditions in the industry, Shinhwa members Shin Hyesung, Kim Dongwan and Lee Minwoo have all done well with their solo albums due to the support of the fans, creating sales records of 10,000 to 20,000 copies.
