[240910] Super Junior confesses their thoughts on Kangin and Hankyung

The members of Super Junior made a recent appearance on MBC’s Chuseok special, “Radio Star Super Show,” and revealed their honest thoughts on the controversies surrounding Kangin and Hankyung (Hangeng).

Super Junior stated, “When Kangin first became involved in an assault case, we thought that we needed to shield him and protect him. Kangin showed that he was sorry to us and really did reflect that on his actions, but we couldn’t help but feel a sense of betrayal when one month later, he became involved in another drunk driving accident.”

They went on to state, “But we believed that we are all one, so we tried to protect him as much as possible. They say that time is medicine, and as time passed, our feelings softened up as well.”

The members also confessed their feelings on fellow member Hankyung’s decision to terminate his contract with SM Entertainment.

“We still can’t get in contact with Hankyung. We were all very close with him but we are unable to contact him separately. We honestly felt disappointed when reports said that his life in Korea was difficult and that the Super Junior members didn’t take care of him.”

Leader Lee Teuk continued, “It would’ve been nice if he discussed his problems with the members first because we honestly had no idea. None of us ever thought that Hankyung would act like that.”

The members all agreed by stating, “We still miss Hankyung right now.”

Lee Teuk concluded, “We leave an empty space for Hankyung. My one dream is to stand on stage with all 13 of us and perform before I leave for the army. I hope for it to happen.”

Lee Teuk still have some years left before the age limit (35) where Korean male citizens must serve a mandatory 2 years in the military. However, most celebrities tend to serve around the ages of 28-30, so they can still be relatively young and continue their careers when their tour of duty is over.

Netizens commented, “Whenever something bad happens, members are afraid to speak the truth on broadcasts. I like that they’re being honest.,” “I miss Hankyung as well,” and “Super Junior shines the brightest when it’s 13.”

100829 Kangin, lost 10kg in the army “misses pig trotters, kimchi, ramyeon”

Posted on 2010/08/31 by tiromaru

Due to violence and drinking incidents that appeared one after another, Super Junior member Kangin suddenly joined the army. When a video of him training seriously at the army training centre was broadcasted, it became a topic among the fans.

Staff at the army training centre posted on the 26th, in the ‘quality stories’ section a video of Kangin at the arm training centre, eating bread with comrades, looking skilled in doing needlework. Although he entered the army suddenly back then, he seemed to be of adapting well, and also brought about tears from everyone.

Kangin who lost 10kg after entering the army said “Never planned to not eat and diet, it’s the regular life in the army which is much better than just using the mind*.” During training, the food (I) wish to eat the most is “pig trotters, kimchi and ramyeon.” Kangin also stated “As the habit of eating supper is hard to change, during bedtime after reporting, really wish to eat.” “Now I often eat bread, it’s also alright.”
To be honest, after entering the army one’s energy is a lot better. “Army life has started, looks like (I) would be able to experience things of this world very well, sometimes (I) would also think of giving up, but it’s only for a moment” “But after two years, please anticipate the changed me, wouldn’t possibly give up.”

(He) also sent fans a thankful heart, Kangin said “During this period of training, received 1400 letters from the fans” “If there’s a chance, I would read these letters. If (I) was happy everyday, receiving letters from fans would feel meaningful.”

In addition “As there are people who anticipate for me, and give me memories, even if there were pain, (I) can endure” “Compared to my frail self, (I) will become more matured, like this I then qualify to receive and accept the people who love me, really wish to stand up once again.”

After joining the army, (Kangin) has become very cautious when facing any issue. Kangin said “Instead of saying ‘regret’ this word, why not say more ‘reflections’”, “When (I’m) able to accept, I then can face activities or everyone.”

Like this video, fans who have watched it said “Just like his name, become a strong man and come back”, “Joining the army would allow one to truly understand life, from a non-positive feeling to a positive one” “Waiting witnessed him turn into a real man.”

*meaning to constantly remind oneself to not eat in the mind during a diet

Super Junior: “Shindong’s wedding? We’re not sure if all of us will be able to attend!”

Super Junior’s Shindong’s proposal to his girlfriend through the band’s 4th album has become a hot topic.

At a recent interview, Shindong captured the reporters’ attention by saying “I want to get married within the year”. Then with a joking look he added “I’m not sure if all the members will be able to attend”.

In regards to his wedding, Shindong made his feelings about his marriage plans public, saying “We still haven’t set a date but we’ve met each others parents. Weddings aren’t just a one-person decision, but personally I’d like to get married within the year.”

He added “After we went public with our relationship, my girlfriend had a more difficult time than I had expected. She received a lot of attention from journalists once her name was revealed in an article, which scared her and was hard on her, but at the same time she also thought it was fun”. He also said “We’ve had to be more careful than before when we meet up.”

Shindong said “Although I proposed to her through the album, she still hasn’t given me a reply.” His fellow members said “Shindong seems like the coolest guy”.

Leeteuk said about Shindong’s proposal, “This is really Shindong’s type of proposal. While we were shooting a photo shoot, he was looking at his keyboard intensely and working hard. I had no idea Shindong was being so clever.”

Also Heechul showed his appreciation for such a passionate proposal method by smiling and saying “I knew [about the public proposal]. I thought it was so cool that he had a girlfriend he likes and was going to tell her like this that I thought I should applaud him. But then I thought that this would really be interesting. He was even going to write down her name”

In reply to the question “Who will sing at the wedding?”, Yesung jokingly answered “At Shindong’s wedding I should sing ‘Love Really Hurts’”. The members all said “We sincerely congratulate him. However we’re not sure if all of us will be able to attend the wedding”, relieving some of Shindong’s worries through their playful jokes.

Meanwhile, Super Junior (Leeteuk, Heechul, Hankyung, Yesung, Kangin, Shindong, Sungmin, Eunhyuk, Donghae, Siwon, Ryeowook, Kibum, Kyuhyun) have released their new album with their SJ Funky style. In only 8 days, their album sold 100,000 copies.

[230510] SJ Fan Meet Fan-Acct — Part III (END)

– The order might not be correct –

[Part of performance]
During Boom Boom, Eunhyuk took of his top. Then during Bonamana, he also revealed his top and danced… Everyone was screaming~

During Heechul’s solo, Ryeowook is playing on the keyboard and Sungmin is playing the bass. Heechul went to Sungmin’s side and touched his face… Ah… this two beauties. Then Heechul walked over to Ryeowook’s side and Ryeowook was hiding from him. Everyone was laughing badly. Heechul has no choice but to return to the center-stage and continued performing

During Yesung’s It Has To Be You solo. everyone was singing alone, it was so touching and the song is really very nice.

At the end of the Fan Meet everyone can ‘hi-five’<–?? with SJ members..

[Our Kim Youngwoon]

Should be apporoximately the end of Marry U, suddenly Leeteuk’s voice appeared saying “Everyone should have missed him right?” Then suddenly, in the middle of the front stage, someone appeared – Kangin! At that moment, everyone couldn’t believe their eyes and everyone was so shocked. Kangin seemed to be a little fatter, and did not put on much makeup. Then he started greeting everyon.

“It really has been long since I last see everyone. Hello, I’m Kangin” “I will go to the army this July to fulfil the duty every man has to” “Hope everyone can understand my decision and continue supporting my members”

Then the other members also came out. Heechul even joked saying “Ah, even though is fatter, but it’s still our cute Kangin, right?” Then during this time when everyone is supposed to answer “yes”, there was no sound… Can only hear people crying… I don’t know how to describe the scene. Almost every single ELF was crying, and Kangin tells everyone “Don’t cry…” But when he is saying this line, his own tears fell too. Then the members on stage started crying too…

Kangin says “It wsa supposed to be a happy fanmeeting, but turned out to be this sad, is really apologetic to everyone” Then everyone started shouting “Kim Youngwoon” and after that, all the members returned backstage.

When they were performing “Chu”, Heechul is obviously not himself. He didn’t sing, and didn’t dance much. When Chu ends, Heechul told everyone “sorry” and can obviously see that his makeup on this face is gone from crying. Then the members start spliting into batches and walking/parading about on stage. Heechul was standing at the main stage crying..

When it ends, every members was on stage gretting the fans. Everyone keep shouting “Kim Heechul” and Leeteuk then discovered that Heechu wasn’t on stage. Sungmin went backstage to call Heechul up, his eyes were red and swollen from crying… Then everyone screamed for “Kim Youngwoon” and Leeteuk say, “Kangin ah, if you can come up, come up and say hello to everyone”. Then Kangin came up, already changed into casual outfit. Then the members cannot bear again… Heechul was holding on the Kangin’s hand and the other members were holding/hugging his shoulders. We can see from our side that Siwon’s head was bend and he keep tearing. Then when it’s Eunhyuk and Donghae’s turn, the two of them were crying nonstop.

Then everyone was shouting for Kangin to dance Bonamana for everyone~ He really danced!!!! The part @ “볼까말까볼까말까”, everyone was screaming again!! Kangin said he felt regretful that he wasn’t able to join 4jib activity with the other members, and hope that everyone can support 4jib activity. “Don’t forget Kangin, Hankyung and Kibum. SJ will have 5jib 6jib, hope that everyone will wait for me to be back”. Then Kangin said he missed shouting “Ori neun Super Juni-OR~” with the other members, hasn’t done it for a long time and hope to do it one more time. So all the 11 members did it on stage.

Heechul says that he and Leeteuk’s age is also quite old already, and perhaps will be going into the army soon, same for the other members. Leader then says that although there is no such thing as Forever in this world, really hope that everyone can always protect Super Junior, this name.

Kangin surprises fans at Super Junior’s fan meeting



Having been out of the limelight since his various brushes with the law, fans thought they would not be seeing Kangin again until he had served his nation.

But they were given a surprise as Kangin appeared during Super Junior’s ELF 2nd fan meeting at the Seoul Olympic Park Hall on May 23rd which was attended by fans from Korea, China, Japan, Hong Kong, etc.

In an emotional video message, with fans mostly in tears, Kangin said, “My members had suggested that I should greet my fans at this occasion before I enter the military,” and he continued, “I hope that you all will continue to show support for Super Junior and their new album. I will work hard in the army and return to you all as a better person. I’m sorry and I’ll be back healthy and well.. 13 of us will be on stage in 2 years so please wait without having an affair.”

Besides this emotional exchange, the Super Junior boys also performed BONAMANA, Coagulation and Good Person from their new album.



Many thanks to alice@sj-world.et.

After Marry You, its the dance segment, Leeteuk wasn’t focusing already. He keep dancing the whole thing incorrectly.

After dance, it seemed to be Sorry Sorry, Heechul kept a straight face… After Sorry Sorry, Heechul disappeared and wasn’t on stage.

In the end when they were standing in a row, Leeteuk told Eunhyuk: “I still have KangTeuk!” Then someone said to look for Heechul. Leeteuk then realised Heechul wasn’t on stage. The fans keep shouting “Kim Youngwoon! Kim Youngwoon!”, then Leeteuk called out Youngwoon’s name asking him to come out. In the end, Youngwoon and Heechul came out. When Kangin was walking down, he stopped beside Leeteuk and Leeteuk hooked his arms saying “We are Kangteuk, Kangteuk”, he repeated it many times. Kangin says “Yes, Kangteuk”, then said something.. hyung…

[NEWS] Kangin Confesses, “I Needed More Self-discipline Time & Decided To Be Enlisted In The Army”

Super Junior KangIn reveals his thoughts on being enlisted for army, “I will get some self-discipline time.”

KangIn left a message on Super Junior OnseMiro fancafe on 4th May, “I have been taking the time for self-discipline all this while, and looking back at myself. And the plans are that I will be enlisting for army soon.”

He added, “I finally posted this post after repeatedly writing and erasing. I want to say that I’m sorry to those who had always showed me love and supported me. Recently I spent my days thinking and reflecting on why the precious people around me just pass me by.”

And about the reason for enlisting in the army, KangIn wrote, “This is a duty that every Korean man have to serve… My thoughts are that I have to enlist for army duties sooner or later, and think of now as my time. Even though the date for enlistment has yet been confirmed, but it should be soon enough.”

KangIn also talked about Super Junior’s upcoming 4th album activities, “I have much worries after many fans have asked if I will be promoting with the rest for Super Junior’s 4th album, so I wrote this message. I would not be able to take part in the activities for this album because the promotion period is a little early as I still need to have more self-discipline time.”

He added, “I ask for love and concern even though it will be a Super Junior without KangIn. I wish to comeback and show better features with the other members soon. I hope that everyone will support Super Junior which will be my beginning and my end.”

Meanwhile, SM Entertainment announced on 4th May that Super Junior will be releasing their 4th album without members KangIn, KiBum and HanKyung, as 10 members.

[NEWS] Army Ahead For Kangin, Absent From Super Junior’s 4th Album.. Enrollment Time?


Super Junior member Kangin is entering the army.

Kangin, who has aroused criticism for drunk driving last year and is now in a period of self reflection, will not be involved in this month’s Super Junior 4th album comeback.

Kangin’s entertainment company SME has disclosed the following: “This album features 10 members, excluding Kangin who’s planning to go to the army, Kibum who’s working on other activities, and Hankyung who’s in the middle of a lawsuit.” and “The ten members who worked on the album intend to focus on making their own way.”

Some say Kangin is planning on entering the army in the first half of this year, however representatives from SME have kept silent about the time he will enter, saying: “Nothing has been determined yet”. An official from SME told Newsen through a telephone interview: “It’s true that Kangin is planning to go to the army. But the precise time he will go has yet to be decided.”

Super Junior has given their support, saying “Kangin is our first member to plan to go to the army, so we hope he will live the army life bravely and do well.”

Last summer after Kangin was charged with assault and driving under the influence, he was indicted without detention and fined, and is now in a period of self-reflection.

Super in More Ways Than One

CONVERSATIONS With Ricky Lo (The Philippine Star) Updated February 07, 2010 12:00 AM


If you can rattle off the names of the 13 cuties comprising the popular Korean Pop Group Super Junior (SuJu for short) without missing a beat, then you are a Certified KPop Devotee.

Try it (at random): Leeteuk, Eunhyuk, Han Geng, Yesung, HeeChul, Sungmin, Donghae, Kangin, Kibum, Siwon, Ryeowook, Shindong and Kyuhyun.

Got it? Congratulations!

Of course, you know that not all the members were discovered in Korea in a relentless recruitment that took almost a decade, starting in the late ‘90s, around Asia. Auditions kicked off in the early 2001. Han Geng was discovered in Beijing and Kibum in L.A. The group was completed only in 2006, with Kyuhyun as the 13th recruit.

SuJu outnumbers Slipknot by four members. SuJu membership equals the members of Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC and April Boys put together.

Observed a KPop fan, “The (SuJu members) sing and dance, and kiss flowers, and giggle, and apply astringent,” and even dress up in girlish attires but make no mistake about it, they are not gay. “They are just whiny people screeching songs about heartbreak and pain,” added the KPop fan. “They just want to give out love and free hugs…”

Initially known as Super Junior 05, the group took a bow on Korean television in 2005 with its debut album SuperJunior05 (TWINS) that sold over 28,000 copies.

The group’s second album, Don’t Don, was released in 2007, followed by the third, Sorry, Sorry in March 2009.

Good news for SuJu fans: The group is coming to Manila as part of its Asian Tour: Super Show 2 set for April 10 at the Araneta Coliseum.

Your third album, Sorry, Sorry, is well received all over Asia and with it you also have gained a bigger fanbase which makes you the greatest boy group in Asia. So what can we expect from your fourth album?

“We are really glad to have an opportunity to reach as many listeners as we can all over the world with Sorry Sorry. It drew huge support from the fans as well as other music lovers. We will try our best to live up to that enthusiasm. Please be ready for our new album which surely will show another best performance and colorful music styles. Thanks.”

(For all the members) Do you guys ever sleep? A lot of you regularly attend and record shows, fly to different countries for guestings, film dramas. But you all still manage to smile and look happy. What’s your secret in having such a positive outlook in life despite all the hardships?

“We consider the tight schedules as the proof of the fans’ love and support. We are enjoying it. We sometimes feel exhausted and yet as soon as we feel the fans’ encouragement, we forget about all the fatigue. Definitely, the love and support of the fans are the motivation for us to run and smile more.”

(For Siwon) A lot of your fans notice you take photos of members all the time with your camera. Would you consider releasing a photobook of your pictures soon?

“Glad to hear that! At the moment I’m taking pictures as just my hobby to keep the remembrance of the people around me, so they are not that professional at all but just keeping the pieces of my private memories. If I have the chance to learn more with my camera, and if there is any opportunity to release a photobook, I may go for it (or may not).

What I can clearly say at this moment, is that taking pictures is one of my favorite hobbies.”

(For Ryeowook) Given an option to release a solo album, would you go for ballads or something different like a song-dance album like Insomnia, the one you will perform at the Super Show?

“If I have the chance to release a solo album, I would try to produce the album with all my best efforts to represent more of my personality and color.”

Do the members have any favorite artists that are not Korean?

Ryeowook: I listen to all kinds of music. I like Craig David a lot, so I decided to do a solo performance of Insomnia in this Super Show 2. I hope you like it.

What does Super Junior think of SHINee?

“SHINee is like the good younger brother whom we consider very talented and special in terms of musical ability. We actually do a lot of sports together and got to know each other better. We have been watching them even before their debut, we feel very proud of them whenever we see them trying their best on and off the stage.”

Who among the Super Junior members has the best command of English?

“Probably it’s Siwon because he’s always reading English newspapers and books, so he might be the one who could speak English the best.”

Have you ever thought that you would visit the Philippines?

“We have heard that Sorry, Sorry has reached the top of Philippine charts, so we were really glad and wanted to visit as soon as possible. We are a bit nervous but very excited to think of visiting Philippines and we like to see all the fans during the Super Show 2 concert.”

What type of girls do you like?

“We all have different tastes. Shindong likes someone who is cute and adorable, and Siwon likes someone who he can communicate with very well. Leeteuk likes someone who is innocent and understanding; Kyuhyun and Sungmin like someone who is nice and charming. But ideal types of girls tend to change a lot, so I think that it changes depending on what kind of people you meet.”

How do you feel about being with Super Junior and being so famous all over the world?

“I’m happy that I’m one of the members of Super Junior. The teamwork is good and individually the members are good. Also, we are happy that not only Koreans but many other people outside Korea are cheering for us. If we get the chance, we want to visit more countries and meet all kinds of people. To all the fans who are giving much love even from abroad, thank you again.”

If you were not with Super Junior, what do you think you would be doing?

“It depends on each member. If I were not with Super Junior, how would I be? Hmmmm…I think this is a difficult question. I think we would be just ordinary students or maybe not members of Super Junior but still a celebrity. But we think being Super Junior is the best. We can’t think of anything else.”

What are some of your most memorable performances?

“The most memorable one is the Asian concert tour. There’s a time when we feel that we are united with the audience. We enjoy every show in every city. I think the second half or the encore part is the most exulting moment. We feel really good with all our songs and we feel really good when our audience responds to our performance positively. That’s when we feel our best.”

What are your favorite songs and why?

“We love all the songs, but the performance of Sorry, Sorry is very memorable. It is the creation of the global dancer, Nick Bass. He visited Korea and coached us in our choreography. We learned many things by being together and we had so much fun because it’s new compared to the performance that we’ve done before, and there were many changes in the choreography. And also, not only Korean but many other Asian fans loved our song and the choreography of Sorry, Sorry. There were parodies and many UCC videos regarding that. We love it as much as many people loved our performance.”

Why do you think Super Junior is a huge success?

“This is a difficult question since we are still on our way to our goal. First, our first step was something new. There were not much groups that had lots of members like us back then, and there were no group that sings, acts and at the same time works as a DJ, MC and in many other fields. So I think that is why as soon as we had our debut, we had a chance to show our individual appeal and that each of us was active in different fields. I think the reason why not only Korean but other Asian fans love us is because we are active both as a group and individually. It creates a synergy effect.”

(Note: The Super Junior Concert at the Araneta Coliseum on April 10 is produced by PULP LIVE headed by Vernon Go. Tickets are priced at P7,500, P6,500, P4,500 and P1,000, available at PULP [telephone 687-1709] and through TicketNet [911-5555].)
