On October 15, Dongwan's agency said, "Dongwan will no longer be participating in the second season of 'Shinhwa Broadcast,' which is set to premiere in November. For now, he plans to appear in front of his fans as an actor.

We have decided that it was too physically and mentally exhausting for him to be a fixed participant of a variety program throughout an entire year on top of focusing on his activities as a part of Shinhwa and as an actor . . . He decided to leave the show after he received the consent of the other Shinhwa members as well as the production crew."

Most netizens expressed their disappointment that they would not be able to see all the Shinhwa members together for the program while some wished Dongwan luck with his acting career.  Meanwhile, Dongwan will be the main protagonist for the musical 'Le Passe Muraille,' which opens on November 13.
