Super Junior

Since Super Junior released their fifth full length album earlier this week, I thought it was about time to devote a post to them ^_^


Super Junior


Super Junior is made of 13 members (yes, 13!). However, only 10 participated in their newest album, Mister Simple. They debuted in 2005, and have been taking over Asia ever since! Some of their favorite songs of mine are Sorry Sorry and  Bonamana. Let me start to introduce you to the members as this might take a while!


Leeteuk
Leeteuk is the leader of Super Junior and in addition to singing, also does a bit of rapping. He has also been the MC of many different shows. It sounds like he plans on starting his military service towards the end of the year.

Heechul
Kim Heechul is a vocalist and rapper for the group. He has appeared on many variety shows, including one I started to watch not too long ago, Good Daddy. Heechul is famous for spending a lot of time on the computer. If he sounds familiar to you, "Kim Heechul" was a worldwide trending topic on twitter for four days last October!


Han Geng
Han Geng is from China and is one of the main dancers of Super Junior. However, in 2009 he chose to left the group and now has a successful solo career in China. 


Yesung
Yesung is the lead vocalist of the group. Last year, he was in the Korean version of Spamalot as Sir Galahad.

Kangin
Kangin is one of the singers of Super Junior. Currently he is about halfway through his military service so he was unable to participate in Mr. Simple. He enlisted in the military after getting into some trouble (a DUI charge). He also appeared in We Got Married and I thought he was really cute on the show!
  Shindong
Shindong is one of the main dancers and main rappers of the group. He frequently writes his own lyrics. He is known for being really funny, and he also proposed to his girlfriend in the liner notes of Super Junior's 4th album!

Sungmin
Sungmin is a main vocalist for Super Junior. Since debuting with Super Junior he has also had an active acting career. 


Eunhyuk


Eunhyuk is the lead rapper as well as lead dancer. Last year he came down with a case of swine flu but luckily he is all better now!

Donghae


Donghae may be one of the most talented members of Super Junior as he is one of the main vocalists, a primary dancer, and a main rapper! He is also probably my favorite member due to his being a part of the drama It's Okay Daddy's Daughter. He has also spent a majority of this year acting in a Taiwanese drama.


Siwon


Siwon is a main dancer and singer, as well as and occasional rapper. He has devoted a lot of his time to acting, he has appeared in Athena which is the spin off of Iris. He was also in SNSD's Hoot video. Lately he has been known for his buff body.

Ryeowook


Ryeowook is a main vocalist for Super Junior. He is interested in songwriting and wrote some lyrics for Super Junior in the past.

Kibum


Kibum is one of the rappers of the group. He went to high school in California and has family in Florida. Perhaps I should be on the lookout for him during my next trip? ^_~

Kyuhyun


Kyunhyun is a main singer and dancer. He is also the youngest member of Super Junior.



There are also various sub-groups within Super Junior;

Super Junior-Happy: Leeteuk, Yesung, Kangin, Shindong, Sungmin, and Eunhyuk. They perform "happy" pop music.

Super Junior-KRY: Kyuhyun, Ryeowook, and Yesung. They sing ballads. 

Super Junior-M: Han Geng, Siwon, Donghae, Ryeowook, Kyuhyun, Eunhyuk, Sungmin and two other Chinese members who are just part of this sub-group, Henry and Zhou Mi. They sing in Mandarin. 

Super Junior-T: Leeteuk, Heechul, Kangin, Shindong, Sungmin, and Eunhyuk. They sing trot style songs.





Please enjoy their newest music video, Mr. Simple and support Super Junior in their promotions for this album ^_^
