Philia, a 23-year old university student in Korea, submitted this problem to ASK SHINHWA:

Oppa... Ahjusshi... I'm in big dilemma.  A lot of my friends are smokers.  Sometimes, when all of them smoke, I join them.  I heard that a passive smoker or one who gets second-hand smoke has a higher risk than the actual smoker.  So in my mind, I just join the smoking session because the danger is the same or even less dangerous.  I don't consider myself a smoker... it's just that I can smoke.  Actually, I prefer to drink than smoke.

So my question is: Should I or should I not quit smoking?

Do you guys plan to reduce or quit smoking any time soon?  I guess not, right?  So, perhaps if we see each other, let's sit and have drink ... and maybe smoke together... okay?

Thank you~~~

P.S.: HyeSung oppa~ you look so cool when you smoking, but... I'm cooler than you... XD

Minwoo "Cool Water" Lee:

Thank you, Philia, for saying we look cool when we're smoking.  Can I call you Phil?  Honestly, Phil, who would you say is the "coolest" among all the Shinhwa members? *winks and points to himself*  Me?  Aww... shucks!  Thank you!  Hey, if you are ever in the vicinity of Gaepan, come visit us.  We have good food and good ambiance.  And if I see you there, sure, I'd be happy to chat, drink and smoke with you.

No.

Hyesung "Don't I Look Cute" Shin:

Excuse me, Philia.  As you can see some Shinhwa members are getting too old they forget their manners sometimes.  On behalf of them *glares daggers at Eric* I'm really sorry.  What was that you were saying?  You think we look cool when we smoke?  I don't know.  I've asked around and I really do want to look cool but people say I just look cute.  Do you think I look cute?  Maybe I should look for new stylists... or maybe a new photographer.  Look at Minbong, he always looks cool in his photoshoots.  Sometimes he l
