Super Junior

Super Junior (Korean: ; Syupeo Junieo) is a South Korean boy band. Formed in
2005 by producer Lee Soo-man of S.M. Entertainment, the group comprised a total of thirteen
members at its peak. Super Junior originally debuted with twelve members, consisting of leader
Leeteuk, Heechul, Hankyung, Yesung, Kangin, Shindong, Sungmin, Eunhyuk, Donghae, Siwon,
Ryeowook and Kibum. Kyuhyun joined the group in 2006.
Super Junior launched into international recognition following the release of their best-selling
single "Sorry, Sorry" in 2009, the title song of their most critically successful album Sorry, Sorry.
Over the years, they have been divided into smaller groups, simultaneously targeting different
music industries and audiences. Largely due to Super Junior's success as entertainers, other
Korean entertainment managements began to train their music groups in other areas of
entertainment, such as acting and hosting.[3]
The best-selling K-pop artist for three years in a row,[4] Super Junior have earned thirteen music
awards from the Mnet Asian Music Awards, sixteen from the Golden Disk Awards, and are the
second singing group to win Favorite Artist Korea at the 2008 MTV Asia Awards after jtL in
2003. In 2012, they were nominated for "Best Asian Act" in MTV Europe Music Awards.

Who knew that Super Junior will become the main representative K-Pop? When the 13 member
idol group first debuted, there werent very many people who believed Super Junior would
succeed. They received a lot of media coverage just because of the fact that they were a group
from SM Entertainment. However, there were too many of them in a single group and most of
them were pretty old to be idol group members. Some even th
ought that they were just a group of random trainees who were thrown into the sharks as a test.
Even their name, Super Junior seemed to lack in originality.
Regardless of those doubts, these men fought through the laughter and became the best male idol
group of K-Pop. Like all idol groups that debut, Super Junior experienced a lot of hardships but
made it through strong without any serious problems. Even though they received a lot of help
from SM Entertainment, the efforts of each member was the greatest factor in their success. To
find out about their secret to success, the members of Super Junior were interviewed.
When they were asked to explain how they were able to become the best male idol group,
Eunhyuk stated, I think its because were good looking and joked around. Leeteuk then added,
We are always grateful for the unbelievable amount of love we receive from our fans. When we
are called Hallyu stars, a lot of our foreign fans felt distant from us but we always want to
approach our fans with love and care. I think were very popular because our music is global.
Soon after their Korean debut in Korea, Super Junior began their promotional activities in
foreign countries in addition to their schedule in Korea. In 2006, Super Junior went to the music
market in Thailand, and then headed over to Taiwan as well as other countries in eastern Asia to
eventually become todays best male idol group of K-Pop. In Taiwan, Super Junior remained in
first place for approximately 100 weeks with Bonamana and Mr. Simple.
Leeteuk continued, I think K-Pop grew and matured with Super Junior. Honestly, when we first
went to foreign countries, the word K-Pop didnt even exist. Once we started getting big, the
word 'K-Pop was created. We take pride in being responsible for the growth of K-Pop.
Super Juniors pride is not arrogance. Super Junior has reasons to feel that way because of their
influence in K-Pop and its fans in Hallyu. Parodies of Super Juniors Sorry Sorry has been
created by fans in countless nations around the world, not to mention their concert in Japan that
sold out within minutes after they went on sale.
Yesung stated, When we perform with foreign artists, they all say things like 'It feels like were
guests at Super Juniors concert. Honestly, there are no other groups who are more popular than
we are in East Asia.
Super Junior didnt forget to be modest and gave the honor to the artists who came before them
that helped them become successful. Members exclaimed, According to TVXQ, it was very
hard to go abroad in 2000. The reason we were able to be so successful in East Asia is because of
the artists who made it easier for us to go abroad. They opened many doors for us and we were
able to become this successful because our timing was right.

Without a doubt, each member of Super Junior played a big role in leading their group to
success. Since there were so members, it was more difficult for them to dance and sing in sync
with one another. Even with the difficulties they must have faced while getting all the members
together in one room and looking at the same thing at the same time, they were always perfectly
in sync with each other on stage.
Siwon revealed, The members argued a lot. Some arguments even led to fist fights since were
all guys but every single member doesnt like making others uncomfortable so we always solved
everything quickly. Now all the members are closer than family.
Since the members are so close, it was inevitable for their family members to become close as
well. When they have concerts overseas, the parents of the Super Junior members travel to the
country and watch the concert together. One time, the members didnt tell their parents about a
bonus they received but one member who didnt know told his parents, which meant that all the
parents found out about their bonuses since the parents all communicate with one another.
Even though they are at the top of their game, their efforts wont stop here. East Asia is where
idol groups gain more skills and experience and Super Junior members are getting older as time
passes. Theres no such thing as a constant best in the entertainment industry, which is the reason
why Super Junior is constantly working hard. Regardless of their success, each member has
additional schedules appearing on TV programs and being part of musicals.
Leeteuk commented, The present is here because there was a past. We have to work hard
without a doubt. The reason Super Junior is so well known is not only because of our music but
because of our appearances in variety shows. Just because we gained popularity we cant always
try to look cool and handsome. Were not looking for a 3 to 4 year career but a 10 to 20 year
career.
Leeteuk continued, We have to try harder. We want to become Koreas representative idol
group. We want to continue like that for 10 to 20 years.
When Super Junior was asked what they plan to do for their international schedules, the
members gave a very thoughtful answer. Leeteuk stated, Asias number 1 becomes the Worlds
number 1 these days. Were not concerned about going to the United States or Europe but want
to focus on becoming Asias number 1. Then we will eventually become worlds number 1.
Super Junior members also mentioned that they are open to performing in South America and
North America, as well as areas in the Middle East. They even added that they want to perform
in Africa as well.
Super Junior concluded, We want to be the faces that represent Korea as well as the group of
musicians that represent Korea. We want to continue striving to go further without stopping.
Super Junior will become a group that never stops trying.
