Eric responded with a "Yes" and that opened door to the path of acting. In early 2004, he got a big break with the immensely popular drama Phoenix (Bulsae). Later that year, Eric had a series of Banjun dramas (reversed mini-dramas) from the SBS’s Good Sunday Show. He was recognized for his acting skill and also won MBC Best New Actor Award for Phoenix in the same year. Since then, Eric has stared (lead roles) and expanded his acting repertoire with different types of characters in numerous dramas and movies. Strongest Chil Woo was his last drama before enlisted to the Korean army. On Oct.31, 2010 with a welcoming of nearly 500 fans on site, Eric was discharged from his army duty. Prior to his discharge, Eric had several drama offers and Poseidon, a big budgeted marine police drama, was to be his comeback drama. Howevever production was put to a haul after the attack by North Korean on Yeonpyeong-do island (where most of Poseidon filming was). After SBS later pulled Poseidon off their scheduled broadcast date, the original cast (Eric, Kim Kang-woo, U-Know Yunho, Kim Ok-bin, Jeon Hye-bin) had moved on to other projects after a long wait. Eric went on to star in KBS Spy Myung-wol as his 1st drama after coming back from his mandatory military service. Poseidon eventually was picked up by KBS with a new cast and a new script/plot. After discharge from his military service, Eric also worked on negotiation to create Shinhwa own company. The fruit of that labor is Shinhwa Company. Shinhwa Company was born on July 01, 2011 with Eric & Minwoo are co-CEO while all members put in equal share of investment to the company. On March 23 2012, Shinhwa released their 10th album, The Return, followed with concert tours starting with Seoul right on their 14th Anniversary. Shinhwa also has their own variety show, Shinhwa Broadcast, with jTBC with its first broadcast on March 17, 2012. Since the forming of Shinhwa Company, Eric temporary puts his solo activities on hold because he wants to focus on strengthening Shinhwa. At the end of December 2013, Eric's contract with Top Class Entertainment ended. Eric teams up with his long time manager of more than 10 years to set up a new management company, E&J Entertainment. After 3 years since his last drama, Spy Myungwol, 2014 also marks Eric's comeback to drama with Discovery of Romance. This marks 7-year reunion with Jung Yumi, his co-star in Que Sera Sera. Despite the average 7% Neilsen rating, Eric & the team of Discovery of Romance drama received lot of praises for their acting and a good realistic drama. Eric won a triple crown at KBS' 2014 Year End Award (Excellent Actor, Best Couple, and Netizen Award). With this, Eric has won acting awards at all 3 Broadcasting Networks. In April 2015, Discovery of Love went on to win Gold Remi at the 18th WorldFest-Houston International Film Festival in April 2015. A few months later, the drama had another win at the 36th BANFF'S Rockie Awards (Melodrama category) in June 2015. Eric made a comeback with Shinhwa's 12th studio album "WE" in March 2015. Shinhwa broke their previous record with 10 wins (a triple crown at Mnet's M! Countdown) for this comeback. Shinhwa joined KCON for the first time with their appearance in Los Angeles in July. They also had a concert tour in China from May to July and ends this year activity with an Encore concert in Seoul in August. A big milestone for Shinhwa also happened this year. They finally got back the Shinhwa name and trademark in June, 2015. At Shinhwa's Encore concert in Aug.2015, Kim Dongwan had said "Many things have happened while we were trying to reclaim Shinhwa name. Lawsuits were involved and we had to negotiate a deal, so Eric was the one who struggled the most during the progress". It has been a busy but rewarding year for Shinhwa! In late February 2016, Eric confirmed his casting for tvN's Another Miss Oh (also known as Oh Hae Young Again). This is Eric's first attempt at cable drama. The drama premiere on May 2nd with a better rating than its predecessor Pied Piper. It broke its intended rating (5%) of on its 6th episode and becomes tvN's all time highest rated drama for their Monday - Tuesday time-slot with the rating of 9.9% for its final episode. Oh Hae Young Again team was rewarded a trip to Thailand after the drama ended. In October 2016, Eric & Seo Hyunjin were awarded the Roco-King & Roco-Queen awards at tvN 10th Awards for their roles in Oh Hae Young Again. In October 2016, Eric was casted for tvN's variety show 'Three Meals A Day - Fishing Village 3' (Deukryeong-do) with Lee Seojin, and Yoon Kyung-sang. It was Eric's first variety show as a cast member without Shinhwa. Eric surprised everyone with his great cooking skills that earned him the E-Chef title. The show had great rating of above 10% on average with the highest rating of 11.536% (AGB) 13% (TNmS). At the end of November 2016, Eric and Shinhwa released a mini album 'Unchanging: Orange' as part 1 of their 13th album. They followed up with a comeback in January 2017 with 'Unchanging: Touch' as the 2nd part of their 13th album. On March 24th, Shinhwa released 'Shinhwa 18th', their first self-produced variety show through Naver's paid subscription platform for Vapp+. In February 2017, Eric and actress, model Na Hyemi confirmed their dating of 4 years. Later that year the couple got married on July 1st, 2017 at Youngnak Church in Seoul. The wedding was officiated by Pastor Lee Chul-shin. Shortly after returning from their honeymoon in Maldives, Eric started filming for another season of 3 Meals A Day with Lee Seojin and Yoon Kyung-sang. Together with Shinhwa in 2018, Eric celebrated their 20th Anniversary since debut. Shinhwa celebrate their big milestone with their fans for the whole year with various TV appearances. In August, they released their 14th album, Heart. Following the release of their album, the group wrapped up their 20th Anniversary celebration activities with a monumental concert, Heart, at Olympic Gymnastics Arena on October 6 and October 7. January 2019, Eric signed on with TOP Media for his solo activities and became label-mates with fellow member Andy. He also creates aguTV on Youtube as a hobby to share various contents of his interests and communicate with the fans. His first broadcast activity for 2019 was a cast member for season 3 of tvN's variety show "Will The Locals Eat It?" in America (also known as 4 Wheeled Restaurant). The show premiered on April 18th. The following month, Eric was cast for MBC's new variety show, "The Barber of Seville". The filming took place in Seville, Spain and broadcast every Thursday from July 11th - Sep.12th.

By early summer of 1998, Eric made a debut as the leader & main rapper for the popular 6 members boy band Shinhwa. The group consist 3 vocalists (Shin Hye Sung, Kim Dong Wan, Lee Min Woo) and 3 rappers (Eric Mun, Park Jun Jin, Andy Lee). Eric also writes rap lyrics and composes for most of Shinhwa’s songs as well some of members’ solo. Beside that, he also features in many songs & music videos for other Korean artists. In 2003, Shinhwa refused to extend the contract with SM Entertainment, which was undoubtedly a big shock in the industry. Eric was the one who negotiated with the management and forking out his own funds to buy back Shinhwa’s name. No one will ever know how much hardship he had to endure during the negotiations. Eric also lowered his fees 3 times so that they can all move to a new management company successfully. Eric & Shinhwa members celebrated their 10th Anniversary in March 2008 which was also their last concert before the members starting to fulfill their mandatory 2-year military service.

Eric & Shinhwa have been on numerous magazines & newspapers. To keep it short, the below does not include those magazines that he was on with Shinhwa. I, Eric, promise to love each and every one in Shinhwa Changjo forever. My heart is always with you. Eric Mun - 2000 If it wasn't requested that I answer in 0.5 seconds I probably would have turned the role down. Although discretion is important, I realized sometimes it's essential in life to trust someone and follow them as well. Eric's comment about taking on a supporting roll in the 2003 MBC's Breathless that opened door to his acting career There were 2-3 contracts offers with Eric's price being 4 times larger than our price. We were aware of that too. Each of us was priced differently by management companies. Even though other members also made sacrifices, Eric made the biggest sacrifice. He had to bring down his price to 3 times less than his own price. That's why the fact that the 6 of us are able to stay together now, Eric contributed a lot to it. Kim Dong Wan on OBS - Korea's Idol Group Shinhwa (2008.02.09) Kim Dongwan recently disclosed on a program that "Eric rejected very high solo contract offers to ensure that the group stayed intact." To this Eric replied, "My choice wasn't a sacrifice, it was the best decision I've made in my life. Sport Donga magazine 2008 Thus til today, they still exist as Shinhwa, with its line up unchanged from day one. It is a feat in the Korean music scene for any idol group to be able to stay intact for this long. The core of this group is of course Mun Jung Hyuk. Well-known for giving the limelight to his fellow members, and taking care of them, his contribution to Shinhwa is massive. Regardless of his popularity, he remains the humble Mun Jung Hyuk, uniting the group with his presence. Hue Story Magazine (2007.12) Shinhwa left SM among much controversy. Eric was the one who negotiated with the management, and forking out his own funds to buy Shinhwa out. No one will ever know how much hardship he had to endure during the negotiations. FANS Chinese magazine issue 24 (2008.01) "To many, he is the leader of Shinhwa, gentlemanly, attractive, usually quiet, and sometimes shy. To Shinhwa, there is only one Eric." FANS Chinese magazine issue 24 (2008.01) "When I'm part of Shinhwa, because it's not just about me, I have a responsibility towards the other members, and giving up is not an option. I don't feel insecure because the members are by my side" Eric Mun - 韓国TVドラマ JP magazine (2009.02) "It's impossible for Shinhwa to disband now even if we wanted to. Shinhwa doesn't just belong to us, it also belongs to the fans and people who love us." Eric Mun - 韓国TVドラマ JP magazine (2009.02) “It’s not so easy to see Shinhwa. If there’s anything, you can look for me.” Eric’s famous quote in responding to a reporter’s malicious criticism of Shinhwa’s 7th album – 2004.09 "Sometimes when I look around, I'd find that I'm alone, and there's no one on my side. But when I'm on stage and I see the fans, I know that you are 100% on my side. I feel comforted thinking of that." Eric Mun - Shinhwa 10th Anniversary Concert (Olympic Park Mar.30th, 2008) "As you wake up to a new day everyday, don't waver because of trivial matters and instead look at the big picture" Eric Mun - Shinhwa 10th Anniversary Members' Q&A Notes (Q#10) "We've overcome all sorts of trouble and made a really special friendship. At certain points we hit, beat, fought each other and even with other members helping, but the most important thing was that whatever the conflict, it would never last a day." Eric Mun - 2007 interview Shinhwa is everything. Without Shinhwa there won't be the present me, and I would not meet precious friends and members who love me.
