Veteran K-pop boy band Shinhwa confirmed Tuesday that it would make a return to the K-pop scene in February.

six-member group will release its 12th studio album in late February, nearly two years after its previous album “The Classic.”

It also unveiled a 3-D and 4-DX movie of its 15th anniversary concert, titled “Shinhwa Live 3-D The Legend Continues.

Formed in 1998, the group has remained together for nearly two decades, which is a rare for a second-generation idol group.

Most of the idol groups which led the K-pop boom in the early 2000s have disbanded.

Though Shinhwa’s recent albums have not been big hits, it has continuously released albums and held frequent live performances.
