Controversy
Although their debut album was a moderate success, Shinhwa was met with accusations that they were just another copy of another popular boy-band at the time, H.O.T, although the two came from the same entertainment. They were often compared to H.O.T., with critics accusing them of just "trying to win over the hearts of the H.O.T.'s fans." Over the years, however, Shinhwa managed to surpass H.O.T. and is currently one of the top boy bands as of today.External links
