'The uncles' still have it

They are called uncles, but the grand-daddies of K-pop boy bands Shinhwa, who made their debut in 1998, showed they’ve still got it in their 2 1/2 hour concert at the Compass Ballroom in Resorts World Convention Centre on Saturday.

What was most attractive about the group – whose members are aged 31 to 33 – was how they were man enough to show their love for one another, and weren't afraid to poke fun at each other.

And as proof of their enduring appeal, the 5,000-strong crowd included teens and those in their 50s.
