Initially formed under SM Entertainment, they signed a new contract with a new record label, Good Entertainment in July 2003. While still under Good Entertainment as Shinhwa, each of the members (excluding member Shin Hye Sung) have all left the entertainment to start their own to concetrate on their solo activities. Shinhwa is also well-known outside the Korean border. While known best in Asia, they have also performed in different countries of the world, including the United States, Australia, China, Taiwan, North Korea, Singapore, and Japan.
