Music videos

In the music video for "Only One", the members can be seen dancing in a dark warehouse. They can be seen wearing various clothings, from black suits to only grey pants.

In the music video for "All Your Dreams", Jun Jin stars as the main lead, with the other members of Shinhwa playing various roles. It also features another SM Entertainment group, Black Beat as well as Kim Bomi.

The music video tells the story of a man (Jun Jin) and a woman (Kim Bomi) who are shown to be attracted to each other romantically. However, another man (played by a member from Black Beat) shows romantic interest in the woman as well, thus initiating a fight between the Shinhwa and Black Beat members towards the end of the music video.

"First Love", unlike the other two, does not show Shinhwa in a choreographed dance nor portray a story. It instead features various clips of Shinhwa, from practicing their choreographies to performing in concerts.

"Wedding March", again starring Jun Jin as the main role, shows a man proposing to his love interest.
