Shin Hye-seong, the main vocalist of the long-lived group Shinhwa, once again had bad news. The condition of her knee, which had been her problem for more than 20 years, continued to deteriorate, and she had to undergo surgery. She is especially shocked that she couldn’t stand on stage alone even at the wedding of Shinhwa’s youngest Andy.
In the SBS entertainment program ‘Same Bed, Different Dreams 2-You Are My Destiny’ broadcast on the 4th, the wedding scene of Andy and Eun-joo’s wedding was revealed.
On this day, the entire Shinhwa group gathers to celebrate Andy’s marriage. Finally, Hyesung Shin appeared wearing a hat. Andy said, “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you too, but (Shin Hye-seong)’s health is not very good. I have a sore leg and a sore throat. I came here because I am not in good shape.”
To Kim Dong-wan who asked if he was hurt again, Shin Hye-seong said, “I think it was two days before the wedding.” Kim Dong-wan asked if his leg was injured and operated on, and Andy explained, “I had surgery on both legs of the knee cruciate ligament.”
Afterwards, comedian Yang Se-chan, who was presenting during the groom and bride march, suggested the song of Shinhwa’s ‘Perfect Man’ improvised. As a result, the members went on stage and showed off their sword choreography. Shinhwa, who celebrated the 24th anniversary of their debut this year, wrote down the legendary stage with rust-free skills.
Shin Hye-seong, who was injured, could not participate on the stage with her, but her heart alone was enough to fill the wedding ceremony. She can feel the strong friendship of a long-lived idol.
In fact, Hyesung Shin’s knee has been tormenting him since 21 years ago. Hyesung Shin, who had undergone surgery for a complete rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament of the left knee at a concert in 2001, suffered from a rupture of the right inner collateral ligament at a guerrilla concert in the same year. The number of times she collapsed at a concert due to her chronic knee problem is uncountable.
Since then, Shin Hye-sung has habitually suffered from knee dislocation. At the Shinhwa 14th anniversary concert in March 2012, she continued to perform while Shin Hye-sung collapsed due to a knee injury.
At that time, the doctor in charge recommended Shin Hye-sung to have surgery, saying, “It can affect the joints, so surgery is urgently needed to prevent recurrence and prevent further injuries.” .
Kim Dong-wan, a member of the same group, appeared on a program in 2015 and mentioned, “Shin Hye-sung is in a bad situation in both knees. He is nagging me to have surgery soon.” It was a part where you can feel the affection for the members who have built up friendships for a long time.
Recently, there have been several incidents and accidents in Shinhwa. Although each married and Shin Hye-seong struggled with the disease, Shinhwa remained. Rather, as time passed, there was room for the heat of the years. This proves once again that they are the first group that did not disband after the contract with the management company ended and continued to work as a whole without disbanding.
Shin Hye-sung, who recently underwent another operation for a chronic knee problem for 21 years, seems to be able to overcome the battle with the members. She awaits the day when Shin Hye-sung, who is recovering, will impress her on stage, and she cheers for his future.
