Original idol group Shinhwa and 2PM are gaining interest from fans for their similarities.
On the March 26th broadcast of Mnet's 'Wide Entertainment News,' it was revealed that there were many parallels between sunbae (senior) group Shinhwa and hoobae (junior) group 2PM.
The first point of parallel between Shinhwa and 2PM that the show uncovered was titled the "3 2 1 law," and it involved the birth years of the members of each group.
In Shinhwa, 3 of the members (Eric, Hye Sung, and Dong Wan) were born in 1979, 2 of the members (Minwoo and Jun Jin) in 1980 (Although Minwoo was technically born in 1979, due to an error on his birth certificate, his birth year is legally listed as 1980), and 1 member (Andy) in 1981. 2PM has similar groupings according to birth years, as 3 of the members were born in 1988 (Nichkhun, Junsu, and Taecyeon), 2 members (Junho and Chansung) in 1990, and Wooyoung by himself in 1989.
Also, Shinhwa debuted in 1998, and 2PM debuted exactly 10 years after them in 2008. Although there was a decade difference between their debuts, the two groups have followed the same path in their careers.
Another point of similarity is the number of members from overseas in each group. 2PM has 2 members from overseas (Nichkhun and Taecyeon), as does Shinhwa (Eric and Andy). Also, viewers were surprised when it was revealed that the maknaes of each group (Andy from Shinhwa, and Chansung from 2PM) were also maknaes in their families as well.
The netizens who found out about the parallels between Shinhwa and 2PM left surprised reactions, such as, "It's amazing how the two groups have similarities that match up numerically," and "There was a reason why I thought Shinhwa and 2PM were similar."
Other points of similarities between Shinhwa and 2PM that drew the interest of fans and netizens were their acrobatics, their "beastly idol" concept, and their connections with actress Kim Tae Hee.
