Soon after this, the management team had a meeting with Shinhwa about being late.

Shinhwa insisted that they were never intentionally late.

Nonetheless, a new agreement was reached: if a member was late by more than half an hour, he would have to buy dinner for the entire staff.

The agreement has held up pretty well so far.

hyun taehak is such a ing sweetheart/crack character in my head LOL also idk if their management has changed any... i know taehak got married and now younghee manages both minwoo and hyesung AS WELL AS shinhwa as a group but like ??? i just went off shinbang honestly LOL reason why jonghyun isn't listed as a manager is because i believe even back then he was executive person
