SEOUL, March 15 (Yonhap) -- Shinhwa, a six-member boy band or famously known as one of the longest-running K-pop boy group, has revealed some troubles within the group. The disagreement between two of the members--Eric and Dong-wan--became public when they exchanged verbal battles with one another on social media.

Eric, the leader as well as the rapper within the band posted a complaint about a certain member on Instagram saying, "(One of the members from Shinhwa) has damaged our team's schedule and communication methods but to our fans he is always friendly and kind."

When people commented that the post was aimed towards Dong-wan, Eric added "There is no way to contact him personally and it has been a long time since his contacts disappeared."

Dong-wan also counter argued on his Instagram account, "Planning for Shinhwa's album as well as our concerts involve a lot of people. I wish Eric had listened to the production team that has been planning all of our schedules instead of contacting myself."

Following Dong-wan's post, Eric also wrote how it was Dong-wan who cancelled the group's schedule on the very day, thus continuing the disagreement between the two members.

Shinhwa debuted in March 1998 and is acknowledged as a rare case in the music industry as the group has continued to maintain the team dynamics without changing any members or announcing disbandment throughout the years.

However, when the members of the long lasting boy band revealed the truth about their troubles within the group it seems to have come as a shock to the music industry as well as the public.
