[edit] Music Career

Andy is the second member to join Shinhwa. He was originally planning to be a member of H.O.T. (another Korean boy band) with his friend, Tony An. However, his parents did not let him join H.O.T. because they thought he was too young. When he was older, they let him join Shinhwa. During the fourth album, Andy took some time out from Shinhwa to study in US, but he returned for their fifth album, 'Perfect Man'. During the year when Shinhwa members were doing their solo activities, Andy surprised everyone by being an actor on various dramas. Recently, beside being a Shinhwa member, he is the MC on SBS Inkigayo and MBC Goldfish.
