However, because of Andy's illegal gambling scandal last year, he won't be performing at the concert as he felt that it was only right that he sits out to reflect on himself. So that means fans will only get to see 5 members on stage. 

The group also delivered their thanks to fans, stating, "We sincerely thank the fans' enormous love that we've been given for the past 16 years. We're going to prepare even more for our 16th anniversary concert that'll happen this coming March, and promise to show you our best side. We don't have concrete plans for our 12th album release, but we'll work hard on it so our fans' anticipation is met."

Their label added, "Because of a series of events, only 5 members, excluding Andy, will be standing on stage at the 16th anniversary concert. But this does not mean at all that the Shinhwa members are changing. We thank the fans' unchanging love that they've been showing Shinhwa for the past 16 years, and we promise to show a Shinhwa that keeps working harder."
