April 1999
The news of Jihoon joining Shinhwa caused a huge stir among the public. While Jihoon's fans rejoiced at their favorite bias being in both groups, many Changjos were very skeptical. Seeing an idol from a separate group coming into their territory felt wrong. It caused quite a debate whether idols of one group can join another, favoritism was thrown in the mix.
Jihoon wisely stayed away from the public and chose to focus on getting acquainted with his new hyungs. To his relief they didn't have much problems, in fact they embraced him. Eric Mun was almost akin to Heejun and Kangta and Minwoo felt like a Kangta whenever they talked.
After two months of adjustment it was time for Shinhwa to return. The song had a sample of Swan Lake by Tchaikovsky. The song is meant to be mellow love ballad, something H.O.T hasn't done before. Spending time with Eric Mun, he got to see who he really.
A leader much like his own hyung, only difference he was more serious about it like a Woohyuk and Heejun fusion. Minwoo was essentially Kangta through and through only with a funnier sense of humor. Hyesung reminded him of Jaewon hyung. Junjun had Tony's chaotic persona. Dongwon had a mix of Tony's and Jaewon's personality.
To match the concept Jihoon wore all white. Months of practice has fully toned his body and he was ready to show off more of his figure. He also let his hair grow down at Hwansung's suggestion. In fact netizens got distracted with his new look leading to speculation about his mature appearance.
Perhaps the biggest change was the dropping of Lil in his stage name. He was now officially named Rain or Bi in his Korean definition.
"This is it kiddo. I guess you'll do the grand honors of starting the song. It'll be one hell of an honor working with you sunbae." Eric joked.
"You don't need to call me that hyung. You're all older than me." Jihoon felt embarrassed being called sunbae.
"I just know I'll look stylish. I can see the reaction." Minwoo fantasized.
[Jihoon] What you gonna do? What I gotta do?
Keep me up and makin' a cash in flash at last
Do you wanna see the light or stand alone? Uh!
What you gonna do now what's up with the past?
What you gonna do? What I gotta do? This is how we do it you homies better know
Do you wanna see the light or stand alone?
In the midst of flippin' side puttin' it down wild comin' through your town
[Minwoo] My love is D.R.C. neodo himdeulgesseo

[Andy] Hey yo yo shootin' to kill lyics I spill are raw deal
Essentially and mentally ill that's for real
The source of a commin' to tie down and torture ya
Coast to coast now we boogie sprang in the raid
Watch it quiver body blows bein' delivered
By thriller sicker than heeler when I come with the strains
The mega pains that remain in your brain low tails a stain a mental high pain
[Jihoon] Niga doraoneun gire naega seo isseulge
