2022.10.11 Shinhwa Eric Becomes Free Agent After Parting Away With TOP Media… He Will Be Taking a Break to Help His Wife With Prenatal Care
Eric (real name Moon Jung-hyuk), actor and member of Shinhwa, has joined the free-agent market.
According to a report by Sports Seoul on October 11th, the exclusive contract between Eric and his agency TOP Media has expired. (Note: Eric signed with TOP Media on January 1st, 2019 and he also replied to a comment that his contract finished end of 2021)
In this regard, TOP Media said to Sports Seoul, “Our contract period has ended but the company will continue to support his entertainment activities through mutual agreements”.
Eric signed with TOP Media, the agency founded by Shinhwa member Andy, in 2019. Since then, he began to carry out active activities, such as holding a solo fanmeeting, starring in dramas “Eccentric! Chef Moon”, “The Spies Who Loved Me”, etc., and joining entertainment programs “4 Wheeled Restaurant – America”, “The Barber of Seville”, etc.
As a member of Shinhwa, he also performed in the group’s 21st-anniversary concert “CHAPTER 4”.
In August, his wife – actress Na Hye-mi announced her pregnancy. Announcing the news of pregnancy 5 years after their marriage, the couple received many congratulations. Eric is known to be taking a break to help his wife with prenatal care.
Meanwhile, Eric made his debut with Shinhwa in 1998. The group gained huge love after releasing numerous hit songs, such as “Hey You Come on”, “Wedding”, “Perfect Man”, “Brand New”, etc. He then turned to acting and appeared in the drama industry for the first time through “Phoenix” in 2004. Since then, he has taken the male lead role in various popular series, such as “Que Sera, Sera”, “Discovery of Love”, and “Another Miss Oh”.

Note: Eric’s contract ended in December 2021. With the upcoming birth of the couple’s first child and that he’d like to help Hyemi with prenatal care (sweet hubby), it makes sense he stays free agent for now. One can always have another project this year or next year, but time spending with your wife during pregnancy and to be there for your child’s first few months is precious time that you can’t get back. 💕 Wishing him all the best with a new and better management later. See you soon! 🤟
