Shinhwa’s frontman, Eric (real name: Mun Jung-hyuk) will be cast as the leading role in new historical drama, “Chae Kang Chil-woo”. The 29 year will play “Kang Chil-woo” who works for the king by day but becomes an assassin by night.
The KBS 2TV drama, “Chae Kang Chil-woo” will begin filming in April and is expected to air in June 2008. After the drama ends, Eric will be shipped off to fulfill his military duties in September/October of this year.

idk why there is so much hype round eric but all my girl cousins
(aunts included) been ODing over this dude. w/e floats your boat
i guess…
Awesome, can’t wait to see Eric’s role as an assassin in the drama. Support Shinhwa for their upcoming 9th music video, gonna miss them!
awww so many hotties going away for the army these days!
by the way, you spell his name in a weird, ugly way. lol
moon jung hyuk is more correct way and better.
“chung hyok”?? lol no!
his name is Mun Jung Hyuk. not Hyok lol. but w/e…close enough i guess.. but the new series sounds hot…assassins are hot lol.
jungjihoon90, you’re hilarious. XD that’s not a very appealing picture of eric, there, but then again, popseoul never fails to show the worse sides of celebrities. it’s weird, but eric reminds me of a corrupt president of the philippines a few years back. now, if you know what that man looks like, you’d KNOW how this picture is very bad.
he looks so mexican there
he will definitely be a HOT assassin….
i am so GLAD he is going one more drama before his 2 yr hiatus. I wonder who is going to be the lead actress..(who cares! Eric will be in it and that is good enough for me lol)
@ irees: i totally know who you’re talking about! and oh dear did he have his share of bad hairdos…
but yeah, i’m glad that he’s going to be in another drama… but jeez… how many times did he put off his enlistment?
that’s because the mexican pistolero look was meant specifically for their upcoming MV. It’s not his everyday hairdo, of course *wink*
Can’t wait to see this drama! Gonna miss eric so much T__T
puahaha
I love his little curly lock in the middle of his forhead! xDD
I really love their new song…but not their new look!
Hopefully it’s only for the MV
I just cant help it, this guy is really hot and dangerous hahaha! He can assassinate me anytime hahahaha.
Hey Popseoul! Is Eric dating anyone or does he have a girlfriend? Thanks.
looks like he gained weight
aww one down 5 more to go!!! we’ll miss you!
what u guys talking about him being not so good looking nowadays, so to speak? He is just growing appeal like, every minute of the day?!! My Eric (!) is one h.. of a looker!
But the S Korean army will be filled with good looking people in no time! So many are going this year. Life is not the same w/o Eric to droll about in 2 years!
(Hope Wookie doesn’t have to go for a while, though).
so hot. enough to star in a tarantino/rodriguez movie. on da border.
nono im serious how long have backstreet boys been together?
Sexy Eric looks like an escaped Mexican bandit in the pic and i would let him hide in my bedroom anytime..Can’t wait to see him fighting in a period drama!!
Uncle Eric???
@irees
you are right, he resembles that man alright during his younger years. lol!
woo hoo!
go eric!
i hope the drama turns out great for him!
sad when SHINHWA leaves.. >_<
@jungjihoon90
i don’t know why you want to know this, better yet, i don’t know why I KNOW this, but the backstreet boys have been around since 1993. so, 15 yrs?? Holy crap i feel old..
when eric comes back from the army, he is going to be an ahjussi …did i spell that right??
it’s ok..he’ll probably look even hotter with a hotter body XD
YELIIIIII poo, thankyou so much, no im just comparing them with shinhwa togetherness wise, not skills etc
^i figured that…
backstreet boys are probably the longest running, and highest money-making boy band out there…according to wikipedia (i feel like such a a nerd)..
“The group has charted 12 U.S. Top 40 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, and sold over 100 million albums worldwide, the best selling boy band of all time, and World’s Biggest Money Makers (Concerts and Album Sales) 1997-2005: #1 ($533.1 million).”
…i remember the days i used to love these guys..and then i saw the light…
yeli, well nearly everyone loved them, i remember rollerblading to their song ‘everybooooodyeaaaah’ memories!! i always look stuff like that up. man its pretty funny they absolutely eclipse rappers and rnb singers in terms of album sales
Grrr… all the hotties are goinq!!!
Why can’t they be satisfied with the men they have!! They already have Gong YOO!! and a few other talented people!!!
it’s weird, but eric reminds me of a corrupt president of the philippines a few years back.
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
i think this is like 254387592348723875098 time where someone comments that Eric looks something OTHER than korean.
i looooooove eric, he’s so darn dorky and hot. <3 i’m gonna miss him so much when he leaves!! SHINHWA FOREVERRR <3
he’s just umm..eww..to me.sorry eric’s fan
Eric oppa does have the killing looks :p haha.. i heart him :p he’s ma fave member of shinhwa :p oppa with killing look will play as a killer ? sounds sooo good :p can’t wait ;p
he so old now. lol. woo, i had a crush on him when i was in fourth grade; he needs to find a wifey. lol.
Like fine wine, he only gets better with age.
eric look like the bad dude… juliet’s cousin… i guess it’s the hair and clothes.. or osmething.. hee
they shouldn`t dress that way…..
This is not a good pic of Eric - what with him looking overweight, the bad sense of dressing, and the Superman *one lock of hair falling in the middle of the forehead* look…
Hats off to Eric. Looking at the comments…good or bad…he always looks like what he sets out to imitate ^^
Can’t wait to see the drama
Eric is and will always be my fave shinhwa’ite
He looks stylish and hot in most styles. Just the other day, he looked good in a crisp white shirt and blue pullover tied over his neck in an Entertainment Weekly interview.
And he’s not old, he’s only 30, which is the new 25….
= )
@ Romeo & juliet,
I believe the name you’re lookin for is Tybalt (juliet’s bad tempered cousin)
he’s going to kundae?? WHY??
it’s sad to say this, but the stars who go to the military and comeback won’t recive that many fans
i don’t think i have heard anything about so ji sup since he’s entry to the military after his last drama “i’m sorry, i love you”…
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Eric’s going to go fall 2008! What about Shinhwa? What about the group? I mean, is it still gonna continue!?!?!?! And how many yrs is he serving the military!?!?
:( I’m sooooooooo DEPRESS! Eric, I love you!!!!!!!!!!
lmao..first look at the picture..he looks mexican hehehe
root for Shinhwa! i can’t wait to listen to their 9th album!
I feelreally happy that I will see him for the last time before going away for two whole years. For some people it might seem like a short time, but to us (Shinhwa and Eric lovers) it seems like a lifetime. I don’t have anything else to say to my baby Eric and the other SHINHWA members only to take good care of their health and take it easy. We will always be waiting for them. Their fans loved them for 10 years, they will still love for another thousand… Aja Aja Eric Oppa. Sarange…
