[edit] Music video

For their music video Perfect Man, Shinhwa each held a bouquet of yellow flowers. Each members in the music video portray different people, with Lee Minwoo walking and singing first, holding his bouquet of yellow flowers and transition into Kim Dongwan, who drove an ATV. Dongwan later changed into Andy Lee, who is a business man in the music video, when he enters an elevator. Andy later change into Jun Jin while doing push ups in the gym, and then change into Shin Hye Sung while he sat in a car. Hyesung, however, did not change into Eric and instead, the music video changed scenes to where Shinwha is dancing, each with a microphone stand before them. Eric was then shown, rapping. The music video ended with the members throwing their bouquet of yellow flowers and dancing on a stage with a crowd screaming.

Their music video for I Pray 4 U was much more simple, showing the members singing around a boat (owned by Minwoo in the music video). It also showed the members playing basketball against each other.

[edit] Andy's return

Andy, who have been missing from the previous album, also came back to participate in this one. Despite him not participating in the fourth album, whenever Shinhwa performs one of their song from the fourth album, Andy was given a line that was previously either Eric's or Jun Jin's. One such example was Hey, Come On!. Originally, Jun Jin was the one who was rapping in the beginning but whenever they perform the song at their concert or such, Andy was given the task to rap it.
