It was just announced recently that male group, Shinhwa will be returning to broadcast for their variety program, "Shinhwa Broadcast 2," however, one of the members, Kim Dong Wan will not be included.
On October 15, Live Works Company said, "Kim Dong Wan has decided to leave Shinhwa Broadcast season 2."
The reason was that Kim Dong Wan wanted to concentrate more on his promotions with Shinhwa and his acting career and being a fixed member of a variety program which airs all year is mentally and physically tiring.
After consulting with the Shinhwa members and program staff, it has been decided that Kim Dong Wan will not be a part of Shinhwa Broadcast, which will air on November 3.
It has been reported that Kim Dong Wan is one of the casts in the musical, Le Passe Muraille as Dutilleul, which is from November 13 to January 26.
"In order to show a better performance, Kim Dong Wan will be leaving the program," stated by Live Works Company, "He's apologetic to both the Shinhwa members and the fans that have waited for the return of Shinhwa Broadcast."
According to Live Works Company, though he will not be appearing on the variety program, Kim Dong Wan and Shinhwa will be on the works of their 12th album in early 2014.
