Super Junior {½´ÆÛÁִϾî}

[OHMABABY]

SUJU MANIA




Super Junior (Korean: ½´ÆÛÁִϾî) (or simply, SuJu) is a 13 member K-pop music group. The group initially debuted with 12 members on November 6, 2005 with their first single, Twins. The original 12 members, in age order (from oldest to youngest), were Lee Teuk (the leader), Hee Chul, Han Kyung, Ye Sung, Kang In, Shin Dong, Sung Min, Eun Hyuk, Dong Hae, Si Won, Ryeo Wook, and Ki Bum.

By the time of the debut, eleven of the members were Korean and one was Chinese. The Chinese member, Han Kyung, was picked among from 3000 applicants through auditions held in China by SM Entertainment in 2001. Many of the members had already made a name for themselves prior to Super Junior's debut through acting, VJ-ing, and modeling. On May 23, 2006 SM Entertainment announced the addition of a new member, Cho Kyu Hyun, making them the 13 member group they are today.


Pre-debut
Before their official debut, Super Junior was already a hot topic over the Internet. News broke about SM Entertainment's unprecedented plans of forming a large 12 member group. Rumors about the identity of the members as well as the group's name circulated for months. For awhile, many speculated that they were going to be known as "Common Ground." Another speculation claimed that the band was going to be called "O.V.E.R" (Obey the Voice for Each Rhythm). Before officially debuting as a group, they had already made appearances on television via acting, VJing on music programs, or modeling. Some of the members still continue to do so today, such as Kim Hee Chul, Choi Si Won and Kim Ki Bum, who are active in dramas and movies.


[edit] Debut
Super Junior made their first television appearance as a group on SBS Inki Gayo on November 6, 2005 as a 12 member group. The group performed its first single, "TWINS (Knock Out)." "TWINS (Knock Out)" and You are the One were released online on November 11, 2005. A single was scheduled to be released in November but a more complete album was released on December 7, 2005 instead. In December 2005, Super Junior collaborated with labelmate and popular boy band TVXQ. Together they released a single titled Show Me Your Love. During this time, the two groups could be seen on the same shows together to promote their album.

In the new year, after "Show Me Your Love" performances were finished, Super Junior moved onto their second single, "Miracle". The single version of the song differs from the original, as it has a dance break and an added bridge. In contrast to the edgy, rock-influenced feel of "TWINS", "Miracle" was a light bubblegum pop love song with light-hearted choreography. It was the second and last song to be promoted from the album.

Super Junior has been criticized in the past for lip-synching and lack of vocal skills, specifically for shaky pitch and heavy breathing.[1][2] The criticisms worsened in July 2006 when they lipsynched on Show! Music Core (¼î! À½¾ÇÁß½É) of MBC, a show that guarantees all live performance. While fans have defended them saying that Hee Chul was ill, their critics argued that they shouldn't have to because they are a large 13 member group, Hee Chul being ill does not account for all 13 members.[3] Despite this, they have still remained popular through their strong fanbase and their album sales have been strong.

On May 23, 2006 SM Entertainment announced the addition of a new member, Cho KyuHyun, being the youngest member. The new 13 membered group released its new look and its newest single U online on May 25, 2006. The title song became a success and enjoyed the #1 spot on music programs for the first time in the group's career. Followed, soon thereafter, by the release of "Endless Moment" on May 29, 2006 and "Lovely Day" on June 6, 2006. On July 23, 2006, Super Junior started promoting their new song, "Dancing Out" from the 2006 SMTOWN summer album.

Aside from music programs, they could be also seen in dramas. In ´ë°á! ½´ÆÛÁִϾîÀÇ ÀÚÀÛ±Ø, Super Junior wrote, produced, and acted the drama. The subject matters of the drama were the top three choices of the viewers.[4][5] The mini-series soon became popular among fans. Their busy schedule was briefly interrupted when Hee Chul fractured his femur in a car accident, but the group managed to restart fairly quickly. However, because their single "Dancing Out" was a summer single, they had their "Goodbye Special" (performing their last singles "U" and "Dancing Out" for the last time) on SBS's "Inki Gayo" on September 3, 2006.[6]

KyuHyun, RyeoWook, and YeSung have formed a separate trio under the name Super Junior - K.R.Y. and participated in the Original Soundtrack of tvN Drama Hyena with a total of three tracks, including the main theme. The trio is part of SM Entertainment's strategy to not limit the Super Junior¡¯s activities to always performing altogether. Super Junior - K.R.Y.'s first official performance was on November 4th on KBS's "Music Bank"[7] and have been showing live performances only ever since[citation needed]. In addition, many of the members have appeared on variety shows individually, while others have hosted radio shows; three of the members continue to host Mnet's M!Countdown.

At some concert appearances, the members have been witnessed sectioning themselves off into smaller-groups, and each performing its own set of songs. There is speculation that the group's strategy is to actively target particular musical tastes. As these smaller-groups are rarely permanent, with the exception of K.R.Y, the constantly shifting make up of these groups is able to target as many possible "tastes", and by evaluating which groups were well received, a clearer evaluation of the market tastes is possible and obviously these groups will enjoy reappearances in later Super Junior concerts. A case in point is the rising ballad trio K.R.Y. Each member has developed a particular persona and subsequent fanbase, the label has decided grouped those members sharing similar qualities and having them perform particular songs to target a particular audience. The members of K.R.Y, for instance, are amongst the most vocally powerful of the Suju members, and have developed a marketable style as the mournful ballad singers (a style that has proven very popular in recent years, although stagnation in the style's development is causing it to lose its once fresh evocative power).

In early 2007, another spinoff group, named Super Junior T (for trot), was created, with members Leeteuk, Heechul, Kangin, Shindong, Sungmin, and Eunhyuk. Their first single was "·Î²Ù²¨" (Rokkukkuh, the word "backwards" written from back to front), released to radio on February 23. Although the single has been successful, members were initially wary of the concept, fearing that their young fanbase would reject music that is typically geared toward an older crowd[8].

Han Kyung of Super Junior becomes the next target for anti-fans

Infamous anti-fan communities from Korea has always created huge burdens to stars over the past years. One year ago, DONG BANG SHIN GI member U-KNOW YUNHO became a victim of the hurtful actions done by an anti-fan and it had created a shock within the entertainment industry. Now, these group of anti-fans announced that their next target will be HAN KYUNG of Korea's popular boy group SUPER JUNIOR. In Korea, Han Kyung had repeatedly been harassed by anti-fans, thus his company arranged him to have activities done in China to "escape" from the anti-fans. Unexpectedly, anti-fans chased Han Kyung all the way to China, causing him to suffer more pain. The escape aided him no protection at all.

Insane Actions to Create Trouble

According to a witness, Han Kyung, who has lately been in China doing activities, encountered a so-called fan that wanted to give him a gift during his ride back to the hotel after recording a television program. The fan's fluentless Chinese created doubts within the staff. When the fan gave them the present and cake, the fan requested to have a picture with the idol. The staff were afraid that Han Kyung would be harmed and politely rejected the fan, using Han Kyung being sick as an excuse. After Han Kyung's polite apology, the staff immediately brought him back to the hotel. As they got back, the staff opened the present together and discovered that inside the box contained small bags full of blood. There was also a sharp knife and a stabbed picture of Han Kyung. Han Kyung immediately understood that this was done by an anti-fan, and after several testings of the cake, it was concluded that the cake contained a nameless poisonous powder. The company wanted to keep the true reasons to Han Kyung's visit to China a secret and thus Han Kyung did not disclose anything to the media.

Because SM Entertainment wanted to break into the Chinese market, SM purposely added Han Kyung in Super Junior. Chinese fans became interested and strongly affected by this star, the first Chinese celebrity to debut in Korea. Although it is a good thing that Han Kyung is popular in Korea, the anti-fan socities are still extremely unhappy that he came to Korea to steal the native Korean stars' bowls of rice. To protect the power that native Korean artistes' have in Korea, they are developing plans to kick Han Kyung out of Korea. They created negative rumors of Han Kyung so the audience could become disappointed in him, pressuring him to leave Korea's market.

In the beginning of the year, an anti-fan pretended to be a fan and sent a letter to SM to explain about the fan's disappointment in Han Kyung. The company thought that this was really written by a fan and decided to shrink down Han Kyung's activities. This aroused strong opposition from Han Kyung's fans and a group of them surrounded the SM building and protested loudly: Fight down the anti-fan society. However, the company did nothing to prevent the anti-fans in action. The anti-fan society continued to make an effort to create a bad image for Han Kyung. Anti-fans pretended to be a Han Kyung fan so they could merge into the group of fans to create trouble and some managed to grab some information about Han Kyung's recent activities and schedules. According to an SM worker, during February of this year when Han Kyung's fans created a gathering to celebrate his birthday, an anti-fan managed to slip into the crowd and jumped onto the stage, fowl-mouthing Han Kyung and yelled at him to crawl back to China. Soon the security pulled him away and did a search within the fans. They discovered that a fan had a bottle of sufuric acid and after more searching they discovered that the bottle was just water that had some powder added. To prevent the news to become extremely widespread, this incident was kept a secret.

Afterwards, an anti-fan immediately reported complaints about the incident. The anti-fan did not mention anything about a bottle of sulfuric acid and how the anti-fan had publicly insulted Han Kyung. Instead, the anti-fan posted messages as a fan of the star and openly criticized Han Kyung's unfriendly behaviour and SM Entertainment's unfair treatments towards fan. For this, the company did not reply or gave any comment, and the incident was quickly forgotten. Unable to defeat Han Kyung, anti-fan socities approached a more hurtful act, and created negative rumors of Han Kyung being involved in trades of amphetamine drug injection needles and sent threatening letters to SM to blacken Han Kyung's image. Afterwards, Han Kyung took the volunteered action to test his urine to prove his innocence. Unfortunately, this incident has caused a dark shadow on Han Kyung's image.

Slash Shipping Creates War

Slash shipping fanfiction is what fans enjoy to write. To give passionate support to certain celebrities, they will often pair them up and create a romantic fiction. These fanfictions, however, always revolved around gay couples. Within Super Junior, Han Kyung and "princess" HEECHUL are one of the most popular couples due to their close relationship. Fans become enthusiastic and thrilled when they witness close interactions between the two, see them wearing "couple" clothes and also when they often exchange looks when they sing. There are numerous fanfictions about these two on the web. Both Han Kyung and Heechul are also two of the most popular members from the group.

"Slash shipping" is a promotion method by SM to make fans happy. Seeing that slash shipping is being warmly welcomed by fans, the company purposely allows the members to show their closeness in the public. Touching each other at concerts and giving surprises to the other person by jumping on him behind his back are often seen. If it's not jumping on each other, there will be secret kisses. When the two are happy together, the fans will automatically become happy. This is one method that SM has purposely allowed for more promotion.

Unfortunately, in the extremely conservative Korea, the audience feels extremely offensive towards Han Kyung's actions. Anti-fans attacked, posting negative messages on Han Kyung's website, saying that Han Kyung should return to China to raises horses instead along with other extremely hurtful comments.

OKAYS... FAVOURITE SONGS:

1. Don't Don:

I LOVE THIS SONG! omg srs i LOVE THIS SONG! its so powerful & omg explosive with a really addictive tune & beat. kinda reminds me of rising sun tho,, & 'O', & CSJH........ WELL,, the song style isnt anything special, but its still a brilliant song. henrys violin solo in the middle really makes it stand out. hahaa makes it sound heaps sophisticated too xD its kinda a scary song. upbeat & scary,, yup ^^ but AWESOME!

6. Marry U:
scary title eh? scary title involving COMMITMENT! but lol, this song is pretty cool =) i love the smoothness of the song... medium paced =)

haha omg im gonna stop now ==;;

[tiramisuu]

kyaaa~ I LOVE THE NEW ALBUM <333333
ESPECIALLY don`t don!!
feel sorry for poor henry though.. the elves are giving him a hard time.. "SORRY! ONLY THIRTEEN, HENRY!!" or something along the lines of that.. </3

and after watching suju full house, i fell in love with 'U', which i hadn`t heard of before i saw the episode they were 're-filming' the mv for it xD

kyaaaa~ SUJU FULL HOUSE IS LOVE <3

asjlkjhghf i`m spazzing..

[OHMABABY]

LOL ^^ henry has big ears xD

but the violin is pretty awesome!! i dont get it though.... "SORRY! ONLY THIRTEEN, HENRY!!" ONLY THIRTEEN? hahaaaa.... thirteen is like,, a lot!

suju sometimes remind me of a travelling circus troupe,, or a portable party!

[tiramisuu]

^ lol, you know how LSM is planning to launch a new suju sub-group called Super Junior China?
and he wants to put henry in it, but the fans are upset and they don`t want henry to become a part of suju..
so they`re shouting 'only thirteen' to show that they only want 13 members in suju...

LOL. they remind me of a travelling circus troupe too!! xD
actually, they ARE a travelling circus troupe, practically.. xD

[OHMABABY]

lol,, i dont think one extra person will make any difference at all.
the only people i can name from suju are heechul, siwon, kangin, hangeng, & kibum. hahahaaa i resisted the temptation to refer to the picture above!!

[tiramisuu]

^ lololol. i think i can remember all 13 names? but i can`t associate all of them with a face..
the ones i actually KNOW are:
- heechul ;; lol, who can NOT know him??
- hankyung/hangeng ;; CHINKY PRIDE yeaaa~
- siwon/shiwon ;; 1st one i noticed from suju, plus his eyebrows!! omggg..
- eunhyuk ;; mainly because he`s junsu`s best friend, but he`s so funny xD lolol in suju full house.. "i`m not x-man!!" xDDDD
- eeteuk/leeteuk ;; LEADER-SSHI so pretty~
- kangin ;; "korea no. 1 handsome guy" lolol.
- kibum ;; just because.. he`s kibum!! <3
- donghae ;; FISHY !! lol. woman at immigration: "age?" , donghae: "B" xDDDD
- shindong ;; the pudgy one.. lol.. no offence.. and he tried to get close to junsu by going to his parents` pizzeria xDD

now.. i can name the rest but i don`t really know them.. sungmin, kyuhyun, ryeowook and yesung..
i know the last 3 are suju k.r.y. but.. i don`t know their faces..
all i know is, I LOVE KYUHYUN`S VOICE <3
