1st generation · SM Entertainment / Shinhwa Company
シンファ / 신화
Shinhwa never changed a member and ended up owning their own name, which no Korean group had managed before them.
Last updated:
Eric, Minwoo, Dongwan, Hyesung, Jun Jin and Andy left SM Entertainment, set up their own company and kept releasing under the same six names.
Start here for the longest unbroken line in Korean pop and the precedent every later group cites.

What anchors Shinhwa is a long run with no change of line-up and running the group themselves. The six-piece debuted from SM Entertainment in 1998, and Eric, Minwoo, Dongwan, Hyesung, Jun Jin and Andy make lasting since the first generation their defining feature.
The way in is Perfect Man, Brand New and This Love. Taking the sharp performing, the matured dance song and the polished signature song of recent years in order shows why they lasted.
Keeping the group name after leaving SM and carrying on as Shinhwa Company matters for understanding contracts, trademarks and independent operation in K-pop. Venus in 2012, This Love in 2013 and Touch in 2017 also track veterans who keep renewing themselves. Perfect Man, then Brand New, then This Love covers the sharpness, the maturity and the recent polish.
Editors' take Perfect Man / Brand New / This Love — three songs cover a long run with no change of line-up and independent operation, from an SM six-piece.
