Popular group Shinhwa announced its delay of 10th album ‘THE RETURN’ special edition ‘Thanks Edition’ is to have been delayed from April 6 to 11.

Shinhwa Company representative shared with OSEN today, “Due to overwhelming number of pre-orders for the ‘Thanks Edition’ we cannot supply the number of albums till April 6 therefore we couldn’t help but delay the release until April 11.”

“Although we did consider releasing incremental number of albums as soon as we receive the shipment, however we thought otherwise for the fans who might have difficulty to gather the album therefore we decided to delay the release date of the album completely,” explanation was added.

Shinhwa proved their popularity by even selling out 30,000 copies of the limited edition of ‘Thanks Edition’ of their 10th full length album ‘THE RETURN.’ The special edition was in response to many fans requests for re-prints.

The group will kick off Asia tour with their Shanghai concert on April 30 which includes stops at Taiwan, China, Japan and Singapore.
