Hey, Come On!

Hey, Come On! is the fourth Korean-language studio album by South Korean boy band Shinhwa. It was released on June 28, 2001, by SM Entertainment. As with their past albums, Hey, Come On! was well received by fans and the title track climbed up charts rapidly. The album's release coincided with the rise of the Korean Wave, spreading the group's popularity overseas. Hey, Come On! spent 28 weeks on the MIAK Chart before it dropped.

Music video

In the music video for "Hey, Come On!", Shinhwa can be seen dancing in a white room. The choreography consists of heavy leg movement as well as members (mostly Jun Jin) jumping around. The music video concentrates heavily on Jun Jin and Lee Min Woo. Towards the end of the music video, we can see Minwoo running towards a wall and jumping into it, causing the "wall" to open. This suggests that perhaps the members were in space, and dancing inside of a white rocket, though it is unclear.

Controversy

Cover disputes against the other Asian groups

Although Hey, Come On! was well received, it garnered much controversy at the time. Andy Lee didn't participate in the album and took a temporary hiatus from group promotions to care for his critically ill mother in California. Another controversy that arose was when Taiwanese boy band Energy covered Shinhwa's song, "Hey, Come On!", calling it "Come On!", causing Shinhwa fans to dislike Energy. Later, the Taiwanese group 5566 also covered Shinhwa's "Dark".
