Even though in 2002 Eric and his Shinhwa band mates had cameo appearance in the movie Emergency 19 Act, Eric’s career as an actor really started in 2003 when director Park Sung Soo gave him 0.5 second to make a decision whether taking on a supporting roll for MBC’s series Breathless (I Run). Eric responded with a "Yes" and that opened door to the path of acting. In early 2004, he got a big break with the immensely popular drama Phoenix (Bulsae). Later that year, Eric had a series of Banjun dramas (reversed mini-dramas) from the SBS’s Good Sunday Show. He was recognized for his acting skill and also won MBC Best New Actor Award for Phoenix in the same year. Since then, Eric has stared (lead roles) and expanded his acting repertoire with different types of characters in numerous dramas and movies. Strongest Chil Woo was his last drama before enlisted to the Korean army.

On Oct.31, 2010 with a welcoming of nearly 500 fans on site, Eric was discharged from his army duty. Prior to his discharge, Eric had several drama offers and Poseidon, a big budgeted marine police drama, was to be his comeback drama.  Howevever production was put to a haul after the attack by North Korean on Yeonpyeong-do island (where most of Poseidon filming was).   After SBS later pulled Poseidon off their scheduled broadcast date, the original cast (Eric, Kim Kang-woo, U-Know Yunho, Kim Ok-bin, Jeon Hye-bin) had moved on to other projects after a long wait.  Eric went on to star in KBS Spy Myung-wol as his 1st drama after coming back from his mandatory military service.  Poseidon eventually was picked up by KBS with a new cast and a new script/plot.

After discharge from his military service, Eric also worked on negotiation to create Shinhwa own company.  The fruit of that labor is  Shinhwa Company.  Shinhwa Company was born on July 01, 2011 with Eric & Minwoo are co-CEO while all members put in equal share of investment to the company.  On March 23 2012, Shinhwa released their 10th album, The Return, followed with concert tours starting with Seoul right on their 14th Anniversary.  Shinhwa also has their own variety show, Shinhwa Broadcast, with jTBC with its first broadcast on March 17, 2012.  Since the forming of Shinhwa Company, Eric temporary puts his solo activities on hold because he wants to focus on strengthening Shinhwa.

At the end of December 2013, Eric's contract with Top Class Entertainment ended.  Eric teams up with his long time manager of more than 10 years to set up a new management company, E&J Entertainment.  After 3 years since his last drama, Spy Myungwol, 2014 also marks Eric's comeback to drama with Discovery of Romance.  This marks 7-year reunion with Jung Yumi,  his co-star in Que Sera Sera.

discography.jpg


First introduced to the public at the end of 1997, Eric & Andy rapped for S.E.S.’s hit song “I’m Your Girl”. By early summer of 1998, Eric made a debut as the leader & main rapper for the popular 6 members boy band Shinhwa. The group consist 3 vocalists (Shin Hye Sung, Kim Dong Wan, Lee Min Woo) and 3 rappers (Eric Mun, Park Jun Jin, Andy Lee). Eric also writes rap lyrics and composes for most of Shinhwa’s songs as well some of members’ solo. Beside that, he also features in many songs & music videos for other Korean artists. In 2003, Shinhwa refused to extend the contract with SM Entertainment, which was undoubtedly a big shock in the industry. Eric was the one who negotiated with the management and forking out his own funds to buy back Shinhwa’s name. No one will ever know how much hardship he had to endure during the negotiations. Eric also lowered his fees 3 times so that they can all move to a new management company successfully. Eric & Shinhwa members celebrated their 10th Anniversary in March 2008 which was also their last concert before the members starting to fulfill their mandatory 2-year military service.

Since forming his own management company, Top Class Entertainment in 2007, Eric & Top Class had produced a female duo Honey Dew who made their first debut in May 2010 with their single Like A Fool

quotes.jpg


I, Eric, promise to love each and every one in Shinhwa Changjo forever. My heart is always with you.
Eric Mun - 2000

If it wasn't requested that I answer in 0.5 seconds I probably would have turned the role down. Although discretion is important, I realized sometimes it's essential in life to trust someone and follow them as well.
Eric's comment about taking on a supporting roll in the 2003 MBC's Breathless that opened door to his acting career

There were 2-3 contracts offers with Eric's price being 4 times larger than our price. We were aware of that too. Each of us was priced differently by management companies. Even though other members also made sacrifices, Eric made the biggest sacrifice. He had to bring down his price to 3 times less than his own price. That's why, the fact that the 6 of us are able to stay together now, Eric contributed a lot to it.
Kim Dong Wan on OBS - Korea's Idol Group Shinhwa (2008.02.09)

Kim Dongwan recently disclosed on a program that "Eric rejected very high solo contract offers to ensure that the group stayed intact."
To this Eric replied, "My choice wasn't a sacrifice, it was the best decision I've made in my life.
Sport Donga magazine 2008

Thus til today, they still exist as Shinhwa, with its line up unchanged from day one. It is a feat in the Korean music scene for any idol group to be able to stay intact for this long. The core of this group is of course Mun Jung Hyuk. Well-known for giving the limelight to his fellow members, and taking care of them, his contribution to Shinhwa is massive. Regardless of his popularity, he remains the humble Mun Jung Hyuk, uniting the group with his presence.
Hue Story Magazine (2007.12)

Shinhwa left SM among much controversy. Eric was the one who negotiated with the management, and forking out his own funds to buy Shinhwa out. No one will ever know how much hardship he had to endure during the negotiations.
FANS Chinese magazine issue 24 (2008.01)

"To many, he is the leader of Shinhwa, gentlemanly, attractive, usually quiet, and sometimes shy.
To Shinhwa, there is only one Eric."
FANS Chinese magazine issue 24 (2008.01)

"When I'm part of Shinhwa, because it's not just about me, I have a responsibility towards the other members, and giving up is not an option. I don't feel insecure because the members are by my side"
Eric Mun - 韓国TVドラマ JP magazine (2009.02)

"It's impossible for Shinhwa to disband now even if we wanted to. Shinhwa doesn't just belong to us, it also belongs to the fans and people who love us."
Eric Mun - 韓国TVドラマ JP magazine (2009.02)

“It’s not so easy to see Shinhwa. If there’s anything, you can look for me.”
Eric’s famous quote in responding to a reporter’s malicious criticism of Shinhwa’s 7th album – 2004.09

"Sometimes when I look around, I'd find that I'm alone, and there's no one on my side. But when I'm on stage and I see the fans, I know that you are 100% on my side. I feel comforted thinking of that."
Eric Mun - Shinhwa 10th Anniversary Concert (Olympic Park Mar.30th, 2008)

"As you wake up to a new day everyday, don't waver because of trivial matters and instead look at the big picture"
Eric Mun - Shinhwa 10th Anniversary Members' Q&A Notes (Q#10)

"We've overcome all sorts of trouble and made a really special friendship. At certain points we hit, beat, fought each other and even with other members helping, but the most important thing was that whatever the conflict, it would never last a day."
Eric Mun - 2007 interview

Shinhwa is everything. Without Shinhwa there won't be the present me, and I would not meet precious friends and members who love me.
Eric Mun - 2007 interview

With the Shinhwa members its our hobby to insult each other. It’s the way we express our love for each other.
Eric Mun - Shinhwa’s 2004 interview

Though I may not be old enough to say this, I can say I’ve experienced the best and worst times of my life as with Shinhwa members.That’s why we can keep our relationship going even though we have Dongwan. ^^ so even without the contract, and even with Dongwan, Shinhwa will always be together till the end.
Eric Mun - 2006

I can smile because of you, I exist because all of you. Yes! we make each other complete.
Eric Mun

As I got older, I started to realize that there aren’t that many people who are with me, on my side, really. In my work, I’ve met many people who are out to hurt, people who gloat over misfortune, and those who try to end careers. I thought, there’s no one on my side at all. But I see all of you here, and you’re all on my side.
Eric Mun - 10th Anniversary Concert (Olympic Park Mar.30th, 2008)

Don't stay up all night just to write me letters and to spend your effort putting scents on your letters.  Just from every word that you write and every story that you share, I can see your love.  I can smell the scent of love.  I want to read your letters to sleep every night.  Even if that's all I can do, I will be able to have sweet dreams.
Eric Mun - Shinnhwa messages to fans in the early days

We all know there's nothing that can make the fans 100% satisfied.
But if there's a time when we can release an album that satisfies everyone 100%
That perhaps would be Shinhwa's last album.
Eric's note - Shinhwa 10th Anniversary Concert preparation 2008

I'm not the kind of hypocrite who wants to make my fans like me at all costs.
Eric Mun - 2008 T magazine

It takes time to build a masterpiece.  That is why we want to show everyone that when something is old, it doesn't make it shabby.
Eric Mun - Shinhwa Press conference (2012.03)

I remember a conversation I had with Eric over drinks back when we were filming Bulsae (Phoenix).  I said '"It's a good idea to go into acting.  Any way, you can only be an idol for a few years, just make acting your lifelong career"... Eric turned serious and replied "No. I'll be with Shinhwa for  more than 10 years, for a lifetime.  Please wait and see".
Bulsae Director San Ray's twitter (2012.03)

We (Shinhwa) don’t think of setting ourselves a goal that we have already achieved before.
Eric Mun - Cosmo (2012.04)

We are not working on activities with the goal of achieving a certain status or position, but more to achieve the objective of keeping Shinhwa going strong.
Eric Mun - Cosmo (2012.04)

My dream since preschool is to be a household head who’s always happy. Though it may not necessarily refer to a married man.
Whether it’s at home or at work, I hope I’ll be a happy head of the family.
Eric Mun - Cosmo (2012.04)

Success starts with balance and satisfaction with your own life.
Eric Mun - People Inside (2013.06)

At first, we were Shinhwa to become singers. But now, we are singers to be Shinhwa.
Eric Mun - Shinhwa's 15th Anniversary Concert (2013.03.16)

An Jae Wook 's Career
AJW went to Seoul Arts University, where has brought up a large number of famous actors and actresses, for the training of acting and starred in more than 20 plays such as 'West Side Story', 'Guys and Dolls', etc., during his time there.
It is said that he was the best student and very active in the college by his professors and friends. He also regards that time as the happiest days in his life. In 1994 when he graduated from university, he went for in the test for the service as a talent in MBC (Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation) and succeeded at a stroke. He made his debut in December, the same year by starring in MBC nonfiction drama of '눈먼 새의 노래 Song of Blind Bird', where he played Kang, Young Woo who was the first blind doctor in pedagogy in Korea. He performed the role so maturely unlike a new face in TV that he made a deep impression on people.
Just after that drama, he was offered the role of a nice and cute student, O, Min Soo on the new sunday home drama, '짝 Jjack (partner)', where he worked for three years December,1994-August,1997). '짝 Jjack' made him a rising young-star with a familiar image, but on the other hand, it tied him up to a young student role for quite some time. During this time, he hosted youth-oriented TV shows, such as '젊음의 다섯마당 Five Episodes Of Youth' (1995-1996) in MBC and '충전 100% 쑈 Charging 100% Show '(1996-1997) in SBS.

At long last, after those several experiences, he had the opportunity to play the starring role of 강민 Kang Min in '별은 내가슴에 Star In My Heart'(1997), which made him a superstar in Korea and got him out of being fixed to just young-student image. 'Star in My Heart' It became also the chance he could show his ability as a singer, the role of whom he performed in 'Star in My Heart' perfectly and . 'Forever', which was his first album was introduced as the last song of Kang Min's concert in the ending part of ' Star In My Heart', was a great hit over 700 thousands sales amount

Actress Kim Hye-ja, the Audrey Hepburn of Korea
Article at KBS Global / May 18, 2005

Actress Kim Hye-ja took in her 51st child in Liberia, Africa, on May 5. Her latest child is an eight-month-old Liberian orphan named Kotati. As a goodwill ambassador of the non-profit Christian relief organization World Vision, Kim has traveled to war and disaster stricken countries like Ethiopia, India and Sierra Leone and sponsored children suffering from hunger and disease. She makes donations every month and visits the children whenever she is available. Where does her boundless love come from?

imageimage

Creating the Image of a Traditional Mother

Kim became an actress in 1962, signing a contract with KBS while still attending Ewha Women's University. Since then, she has appeared in 90 television dramas including "A Rural Diary," "What is Love," "Two Women," "The Sea of Mother," and "Roses and Bean Sprouts." She has also appeared in 13 plays including "Shirley Valentine," as well as various movies such as "In Late Fall" and "Mayonnaise."

Particularly, Kim created the image of a virtuous and loving traditional mother while appearing in the drama "Rural Diary" for 20 years. We can recall our own affectionate and heart-warming mothers through her.

image

But she has not built up the image of a mother only on the screen. Kim was reborn as a genuine archetypal mother of our era by traveling through war and poverty-hit African countries and other regions and participating in relief work for 14 years.

The First Step toward Africa

Kim Hye-ja first visited Africa in the summer of 1992 after finishing the mega-hit drama "What is Love?" She had received a phone call from World Vision while preparing for a trip to Prague and Budapest with her daughter.
The relief organization told her that Korea had been a beneficiary of foreign aid and it was time for the country to help other countries in need. Persuaded by the conversation, Kim cancelled her East European trip and headed for Ethiopia. That was her first step toward participating in relief work in Africa.

"I Hope I Won't Come to a Country Like This Again

image

When departing for the African country, she thought that it would just be a simple trip to Ethiopia. However, after arriving in the country, Kim found that the harsh reality of life there was totally different from what she expected. She realized for the first time that such a large number of people were dying from starvation. Tears ceaselessly flowed from her eyes; she constantly wept while she was in the country, even during her sleep.

Kim was so shocked by the miserable state of children dying from hunger that she prayed on the plane returning home, "My God, please don't make me go to a country like that again." She complained to God, asking why He had created Africa just to put so many people in pain and why the guiltless, innocent children were dying.

But now, Kim doesn't resent God; rather, she thanks Him for sending her to Africa. She thinks that God sent her to those countries because there is something she can do there. She decided to spend the rest of her life serving other people.

"Don't Beat Them even with Flowers"

image

Since the shocking encounter with the poor and wretched in Africa, Kim has met children and women in refugee camps around the globe for more than 10 years. Based on her experiences, she published a book entitled "Don't beat Them Even with Flowers" in 2004.

Kim says in her book, "If you have something to eat in the refrigerator, can put on clothes, live under a roof and have a place to sleep, you are better off than 70 percent of the people living in the world. If you have never experienced the dangers of war, imprisonment, torture or hunger, you are happier than 500 million people in the world."

On every page of the book, she appeals to the world not to turn a blind eye to the affliction facing African children.

Kim willingly donated the 62 million won (about US$62,000) earned by her book to children who were the victims of an explosion disaster in the North Korean city of Ryoingchon. She will donate all future proceeds from the book over the next 10 years to poor North and South Korean children.

While holding an autograph session in Busan after publishing the book, she received a white envelope from a man. Twenty thousand won was in the envelope, and the man told her to spend the money on relief work. Kim says with a smile, "If I had not published the book, I would not have experienced such happy moments such as this."

A Genuine Star

image

While participating in relief work traveling around poverty-stricken countries, Kim has acquired new habits. First, she doesn't waste any food and eats every last bit of every meal, thinking of all the children suffering from hunger. Second, when buying goods, she calculates, "How many African Children can go to school and eat for a month with this amount of money?"

Working as a goodwill ambassador of World Vision, Kim has turned into a mother figure for starving people throughout the world. Kim says, "Charity is to bestow a favor on people in need. By helping them, we feel joyful, and that's a reward in itself." It is definitely difficult for a star to be loved by the public for a long period of time. Most celebrities become forgotten over time, and the public is usually enthralled with a star for only a short period. What is the hallmark of a genuine star, then?

Audrey Hepburn, who shot to stardom after starring in the movie "Roman Holiday," retired from the showbiz industry in 1989. Until she died in 1993 at the age of 64, she played the leading role in relief work for starving African children. She is remembered as a timeless star now. If one is a genuine star, they will gleam brightly and still be remembered even after their death. That is why we can call Kim Hye-ja “the Audrey Hepburn of Korea” without hesitation.

A meaningful story can be found in Kim's book "Don't Beat Them Even With Flowers." In front of God, a person demands, "Why is there sadness and anguish in the world, even though you are present?" God answers, "That is why I sent you into the world."

image

Perhaps we all live in the world for just one simple reason. Kim has found her simple reason and has put her idea into action. She is truly a beautiful woman.

It's the doe-eyed actress who stole the spotlight in "Old Boy" -- meet Kang Hye-jung on Star Focus!

Transformations being her forte, the starlet proved she's capable of any sort of metamorphosis in the movie "Rules of Dating." Here, she plays a confident young woman opposite Park Hae-il's arrogant character. The movie's frank approach to dating has made "Rules" a hot topic of late.

Kang made her explosive debut into showbiz in 2001, winning the "best actress" award at the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival for the movie "Butterfly."

Kang's star status expanded internationally with "Old Boy," which won a prestigious award at the last Cannes International Film Festival. The film won her a "best supporting actress" title at the Blue Dragon Film Awards. She also played a mangled marionette in the pan-Asian movie, "Three Monster."

And let's not forget her work in music videos, with numerous pop artists clamoring for her appearance in their projects. Especially memorable was her work with actor Seol Kyung-gu in SG Wannabe's movie-like music video.

SONG IL KOOK
is noted not only for his good looks and acting abilities in the Korean drama scene, but he also brings a distinguished family history.  He is the grandson of Kim Du-han, a well-known right wing politician, and the great grandson of General Kim Jwa-jin, a famous Korean Independence Movement leader.  His mother Kim Eul Dong is a talented actress, recently rejuvenating her career with Mapado (2005) and Golden Era of Daughter-in-Law (KBS, 2007).

Song Il Kook graduated from the Cheongju  University, majoring in Performing Arts, although he admits that he was more interested in art and design at the time.  His started  acting in Korean dramas in 1998 at the age of 27, and was considered a “late bloomer.”  He played many  small roles, populating daily and morning dramas, New Year's specials through the early 2000s.  His first significant role was in the action drama Bodyguard (KBS, 2003), playing a slightly off-kilter villain. Song's breakthrough, however, came from two roles in particular: Jang Soo in the weekend drama Terms of Endearment (KBS, 2004), and his impressive turn as Yeom Jang in Emperor of the Sea (KBS, 2005). In those two dramas, Song showed both sides of the acting spectrum: the charming everyday man and the most charismatic villain in the last few years.

Song attained mega star status when he was cast in Jumong (MBC, 2006), which brought him the prestigious Daesang Award in 2006. Jumong is one of the most successful Korean TV dramas of all time, capturing an average of 40% viewership, and staying on the number one chart for 40 consecutive weeks. Jumong continues to this day to be popular all over the world, in countries like the Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia, China, Iran, Turkey, and Iraq.  Jumong’s legacy was extended to the 2009 drama Kingdom of the Wind, where Song played Muhyul, grandson of Jumong.  Kingdom of the Wind was entered as a foreign in the 2009 International Film Festival.   He also won the KBS Best Actor 2009 award for this role.

Song typically takes on physically challenging roles that display his outstanding skills in sword-fighting, archery, martial arts and horsemanship.   Additionally, his talent as a sketch artist was captured in his roles as Yeom Jang  (Emperor of the Sea) and Muhyul (Kingdom of the Winds). He is a vice-president of the Korean Triathlon Confederation and participated in the 2008 Seoul International Triathlon, 2009 and 2010. In April 2008, Song carried the Olympic torch through Seoul.  

Besides acting, Song has modeled professionally, both on the runway and in print, and won the 2009 Asian Model Award.

On March 15, 2008, Song married a Busan High Court Judge (identified only by her family name "Jung") in a private traditional Korean wedding away from the media spotlight at the Sheraton Walkerhill Hotel in Seoul.  Because of her sensitive position as a legal counsel, she remains out of the media spotlight.

In 2009, the State of Hawaii honored him by designating March 21 as Song Il Kook day when he headlined 4803023242_5998626110_o.jpg a fan meeting in Honolulu.  An exclusive hibiscus flower, created by a fan, was named, GeNtLe Song 4743053813_6be704690e_o.jpg , in his honor.  

As a result of his strong fan support in Hawaii, he insisted that the first episode of his 2010 drama, A Man Called God, be filmed in Hawaii.  Dramatic action scenes shot against the island’s natural beauty had never before been seen in Korean dramas.  In addition, Song prepared for his role as Michael King in this drama for 8 months by physically working out and losing over 30 lbs.  His new look was a stunning change from Jumong and Muhyul.

He is currently playing the dual lead roles in a stage play “I am You” in Seoul from July 27 – August 22, 2010.  It is the first stage play he has ever done, and it was especially challenging because he plays the role of a historic hero, Ahn Joong Geun, and his son, Ahn Joong Saeng, whose life is miserable for being kept in the shadow of his heroic father. His dedication and hard work is being rewarded with numerous positive reviews, sold-out shows, and standing ovations.  Song Il Kook has said his ambition is to expand his experiences in theater by taking on a variety of roles, the more difficult the better.  He especially values working and learning from other experiences thespians.  In his personal life, he has said he wants to be a good father, good husband, and strive to be a man true to his words.
