Shinhwa's Lee Min Woo Confirms g.o.d. Is Planning A Reunion Tour

It looks like fans of disbanded South Korean pop group g.o.d. are in for a real treat.

On Monday's installment of the Seoul Broadcasting System radio show, "Kim Chang Ryul's Old School," Shinhwa vocalist Lee Minwoo confirmed that his group had been approached about touring with a reincarnated version of the successful group.

"I'm looking forward to it," Lee said.

"[Kim] Tae Woo recently consulted me about being involved in the g.o.d.'s reunion. I think it'd be awesome to perform along with g.o.d."

It is unclear if the Shinhwa singer would be an official replacement member of g.o.d.  or simply be touring with the band.

Back in May, g.o.d. singer Son Ho Young made international headlines after he allegedly tried to kill himself three days after the body of his girlfriend, who reportedly committed suicide, was discovered in is car.

Lee's new solo album, which he produced and co-wrote, was released on Thursday.

Entitled "M+10," the EP is a special release to commemorate his 10 years as a solo artist.

In a press conference on Monday near the set of the music video for his new single "Taxi," Lee told reporters that he decided to mix things up on the track, choosing to intentionally sound intoxicated during his vocal performance.

"When I used to perform as a member of Shinhwa, the stage would be decorated with many fancy and cool things, but this time I wanted to try something new," the 34-year-old singer said, according to eNEWS.

"So I decided to perform and sing as if I'm drunk."

According to Lee, who also performs solo under the stage name "M," it was his extended time in the spotlight that gave him the courage to try something so professionally risky.

"Since it's been about fifteen years since Shinhwa's debut and ten years since my debut as a soloist, I feel like I have the confidence for a performance like this," he said.

"I've interacted [with fans] onstage for a long enough time, if I dare say, which makes this possible."

"M+10" is Lee's first solo release in almost five years. His last EP, "Minnovation," was released in June of 2009.

The last Lee Min Woo full-length solo album, "M Rising," was released in 2008.

The Shinhwa vocalist wrote the lyrics for "Taxi," the leadoff single, from "M+10." The music was written by the production team Spirit.
