Girls' Generation's Hyoyeon, Yuri, and Shinhwa's Minwoo will be 'dance masters' for Mnet's new dance survival show, 'Dancing 9'.

As all Shinhwa fans know, Minwoo's been dancing since he was a little boy, and is easily one of the best dancers in the industry. Additionally, Girls' Generation's Yuri and Hyoyeon are also well-known superstar dancers.

One of the reasons why they were chosen as the judges for the show is because the three of them had such a big role in the popularity of Hallyu, mostly through their dancing. The language they used to spread all over the world, and their experience is expected to become a big strength for the contestants.

Minwoo said, "Meeting fans of various countries all over the world for 15 years as a member of Shinhwa made me realize that dance really was a genre that overcomes age and gender. I really like the premise of 'Dancing 9', and I was happy to agree when I was asked to be a master. Before I'm a singer, I'm a man who loves dance. With that mindset, I'm so excited to meet people who love dance. I'm really looking forward to it".

The girls also added, "We saw firsthand that people all over the world become passionate through just dance from our performances in Asia and Europe. We really felt the wonderful power of dance and its rippling effects. We want to share the experience and secrets we learned from our group activities, such as fashion, trend, stage performance, and team work. We're going to do our best to give practical help to those who're trying to become stars through dancing." 

The first episode of this new dancing survival show will air on July 20!
