Jung Jihoon, The Original Maknae: An H.O.T/Shinhwa Story

~Haegyeolsa (Shinhwa debut)

May 1998

While Jihoon was getting used to new life as highschool student, while being maknae of H.O.T, Sooman decided it was time to debut an additional boy group to accompany H.O.T. he personally picked six trainees that showed the greatest promise.

The oldest, being from United States like Tony named Eric Mun. Not just picked for his age, but his above average rap skills that rival Woohyuk.

The next selected member was talented vocalist Lee Minwoo who despite his short stature, has vocal gift that amplifies his presence tenfold not to mention his charming visuals.

Next to him was the soft spoken Dongwon who has shown a vocal contender with Minwoo with a rawer cut.

Being a few days younger was Hyesung. His personality was soft and feminine like Jaewon's, but had the confidence to back it up. Like Mun, he has spent some time in the U.S picking up the English language.

Park Choongjae or nicked Junjin displayed great wide of vocal range and like Minwoo has the charisma to back it up. He also was a natural jokster a bit like Kangta and Tony.

For the youngest, he picked American trainee Andy Lee. He was older than Jihoon by a year, but he displayed visuals similar to Minwoo. He also could speak English, but with a heavier accent due not living there compared to his sunbaes.

Eric Mun arguably had the best pronunciation since he lived seven plus years, since he was about ten years. They were unveiled at the April bringing interest and speculation by the public.

The boys were dressed in shiny yellow, obvious going for a post apocalyptic concept. He wanted them to at least standout from H.O.T.

"After all this hellish training our moment is finally here." Minwoo said in relief.

"Thank goodness is over! I barely survived back there." Hyesung grimaced at the memory.

"Considering that Jihoon kid debuted so young. He have to have some kind of skill." Dongwon said.

"I mean have you seen his dance moves? No other kid can move like he does!" Andy said in amazement.

"Exactly which means we need to step up our game. Are you all ready?" Mun asked them.

"We're ready as we'll ever be!" Minwoo said before the camera begins recording.
