[edit] Solo career
Jun Jin released a solo single in November 2006 titled 사랑이 오지 않아요 (translated to Love Doesn't Come), with a total of five songs, including the title song and its instrumental. Surprisingly, he decided to release a ballad even though he is known for his strong dance skills. However, this is due to the fact that ballads are popular in Korea right now; dance artists such as Baek Ji Young and even Jun Jin's own group Shinhwa have released atypical (for them) ballads for their lead singles.
In December of 2006, Jun Jin was hospitalised; although recommended to stay in the hospital, he quickly left and returned to his promotional schedule[1].
In early January 2007, Junjin filmed a music video with a Taiwanese singer named Linda Liao.[2]. The MV is by a Korean group, The Name, tittled "It Could Be Love"
