Discography

• 6집 - 666 : trilogy part 1 (2008~2009)
• 5.5집 - ReGame? The 2nd Fan Service (2006)
• 5집 - The Return of N.EX.T Part 3 - 개한민국 (2004)
  • The title is a pun on 대한민국 (Republic of Korea). 개 (dog), replacing 대, changes the meaning to loosely mean "Bitch's Republic of Korea."
  • Another exclusive interpretation of 개한민국 [Gae;HanMeenKook] is that 개 [Gae] could be 改 [개/Gae] which means "to fix". Then the title could loosely mean "Fix up Republic of Korea," which shows yet more intelligent political message which the song of the same title in the album suggests and the leader Shin really tries to accomplish. The possibility of the double-edged remark is prominent.
  • N.EX.T's fifth album, produced entirely by Shin Hae Chul, is a two-disc opus with two distinct themes. Disc one, "The Book of War," is packed with hard-hitting, angry, and political themes. Disc two, "The Diary of a Soldier," is filled with introspective and melodic themes. The album also has a bonus 56 page color booklet.
