He and the other members founded the Shinhwa Company to manage their group activities and became co-CEO with leader Eric Mun.

Then in 2004, Lee reunited with Shinhwa to work on their first album with Good Entertainment, Brand New, released in August 2004.

However, when fellow Shinhwa member Shin Hye-sung released his solo debut, Lee stopped performing in order to avoid competing with him.

[2] Initially released in two versions (including a limited "Lineage II" edition), the album's liner notes showed off a sexier Lee Min-woo, as his new muscular body was clearly displayed; there were many pictures of him in partial attire.

Complete with an intense video and heavily choreographed performances, the song pushed Lee to the top of the various network charts, and his album sold 80 000 copies in the month of September.

To capitalize on this success, Good Entertainment (via EMI Korea, their distributor) released yet another version of the album.

"Girl Friend" was fairly successful as well, allowing Lee to promote his album for over four months, a rarity in Korea's music industry.

[citation needed] Lee's first single from the album was call Stomp, where it was number onefor two consecutive days on an online chart.

He collaborated with American producer Outsidaz on title track, "Minnovation", which is infused with electronica and hip hop beats.

He completed four weeks of basic training followed by non-active duty as a public service officer at Seoul Station.

The group released their tenth studio album The Return on March 23, 2011,[14][15] launched their comeback concerts 2012 Shinhwa Grand Tour: The Return throughout Asia[16][17] and their first exclusive variety program Shinhwa Broadcast premiered on March 17, 2012, on cable channel JTBC.

[18] In August 2012, Lee served on the judging panel of a Chinese singing-survival show Asian Wave, which was broadcast on Dragon Television from September 5.

Liveworks is to manage his solo activities including album, concert and in partnership on producing songs and developing new talents.

Not only does 'Taxi', which tells of an episode that takes place in a taxi, have an addicting chorus but special performances and more have also been prepared for the song.
