Shinhwa Broadcast' Will Return From 5-Month Hiatus On November 3 With New Format

K-pop's longest running group Shinhwa will return to television next month with a revamped version of their television program "Shinhwa Broadcast."

On Monday, a spokesperson for the South Korean network Joongang Tongyang Broadcasting Company (jTBC) revealed the revamping of "Shinhwa Broadcast" to the publication eNEWS.

The new program, which will reportedly be entitled "Shinhwa Broadcast 2," is scheduled to premiere on the network on November 3.

"After a five-month hiatus, [the second season of] 'Shinhwa Broadcast' is set to premiere with a brand new format," the jTCB spokesperson said.

jTCB executives have yet to provide specifics regarding what exactly the show's new format will look like.

The first episode of "Shinhwa Broadcast" premiered in March of 2012.

The group appeared in 60 episodes of the program before going on hiatus in June.

At a press conference the week the first episode of "Shinhwa Broadcast" premiered, band member Eric Mun explained the basic idea of the show.

"We've always wanted a program with just the six Shinhwa members in it, and now we've fulfilled that dream," Eric said.

Shinhwa singer Jun Jin said he was moved by his band's work ethic regarding filming their show, right from the beginning.

"We finished shooting the first episode, and after the shoot I was so surprised. In the past, the members didn't go this far for shoots," he said.

"I was touched at how sincere they were and how hard they worked."

Jun Jin had his own formula for the show.

"We'll be showing the relationships and energy we built up during the 14 years the six of us were together," he explained.

Shinhwa's Kim Dong Wan, who is starring in the musical 'Le Passe Muraille' next month at the Hongik University Art Center in Seoul, reflected on his band's longevity.

"We never expected to come this far," he said. "At first, we thought we'd be lucky to release a second album. Now I can safely see that we've been to the top," Kim said.

Kim, who found himself in the starring role in the 2012 blockbuster "Yeongasi," realized that the same kind of cooperation his band achieved on "Shinhwa Broadcast" was critical for making a movie.

"I realized that teamwork is of the utmost importance in filming a movie," he said.

"I've learned a lot from directors and actors [because I got] along quite well with them."
