T.O.P. (Shinhwa album)

Information is adapted from the liner notes of T.O.P.:[1]

The music video for "T.O.P." shows the six Shinhwa members in white suits with a bright fantasy-like back-drop.

The music video for "Yo!" tells the story of vocalist Lee Minwoo, as a trouble-maker boy who falls in love with a girl, played by Kim Bo-mi.

The album garnered much success, climbing the charts quickly (debuting at #4 and peaking at #3). Shinhwa's second album made a greater impact than their first, as it coincided with the breakup of H.O.T.[2] Although they promoted their first album well, Shinhwa did not do many promotions for their second album, and instead began working on their third album. Despite the lack of promotions, the single "T.O.P." was a success, and spent 24 weeks on the charts before it dropped. "T.O.P." represented Shinhwa's first significant commercial success[3] and was noted for its use of Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake" music.[4] Years after its release, "T.O.P." has been performed on television with its original choreography by groups such as Girls' Generation,[5] Spica,[6] Super Junior,[7] and BTS.[8]

The second single "Yo!" collected seven number one wins on live music programs, a record it held until "This Love" from their eleventh album The Classic, won eight first place wins in 2013.[9] This record was broken again by "Sniper" from their twelfth album WE, won ten first place wins in 2015.[10]
