Shinhwa may have 14 years of idol group experience under its belt, but
the members admit there are some things the second generation boy bands
simply do better.

The Shinhwa members were guests on the April 5 open studio broadcast of
Mnet’s Wide Entertainment News, where they were asked how they thought
the group compared to the younger boy bands in terms of beastliness,
dance synchronization, unconventional performance concepts and even in
the members’ confidence in going nude.

During the ‘Shinhwa Up & Down’ segment of the show, the members were
first asked to put their thumbs up if they thought they overflowed with
more ‘beastly idol hormones’ than idol group 2PM and their thumbs down
if they disagreed.

All of the members put their thumbs up confidently except member Andy,
who said, “I’m not a beast. I’m just a dol (rock),” drawing laughs from
the other members.

Dongwan added, “Like the phrase ‘beastly idol,’ the 2PM members are a
mix of the beastly concept and idol [concept], but we’re just beasts.
You can’t beat us.”

The members were then asked how they thought they compared to idol group
Teen Top in terms of dance synchronization. They seemed less confident
this time around, as all of the members except Andy, put their thumbs
down, indicating they couldn’t beat the younger competition in this
category.

Member Andy showed some tough love towards his protégés, putting his thumb sideways.

Jun Jin said, “Because we’ve been around for longer, in terms of feel,
we may be ‘up,’ but I think we lack a little in terms of dance
synchronization compared to the Teen Top members.”

Shinhwa was then pitted against idol group Big Bang on the topic of
unconventional performance concepts. All of the members except Dong Wan
put their thumbs up, indicating they thought their concept was stronger,

“We were just weird—because of me,” explained Dong Wan. (He's the one in
the middle with white face paint.) “The members were, of course, cool.
[But] Big Bang is really unique and cool.”

Finally, the Shinhwa members, who shot a nude spread early on in their
careers, were asked how they thought they measured up to idol group
SHINee, whose members recently made waves with their shirtless comeback
photos, in terms of their confidence in going nude.

While the other members were all thumbs up, member Hye Sung stuck his
thumb down, saying, “When we took the photo, as you can see, I stood in
the back.” He continued, “Compared to the other members, I remember
being embarrassed.”

The comparison segment starts around 5:50 in the video below:
