Last weekend, Super Junior participated in the 24 hour Hope Marathon. Suju members Lee Teuk, Kang In, Shin Dong, Yesung, Eunhyuk, and Sungmin all participated in the event.
On the first day, Yesung sustained an injury to his leg while running in the race. Despite being injured, he got back up, and continued walking - saying that he was determined to finish the race. Unfortunately for him, he collapsed a short while thereafter and went to the hospital. Later that day, Yesung was discharged from the hospital and he went back on to the main stage of the event (on crutches) to watch his fellow suju members finish the race. After Shing Dong saw his injured buddy back from the hosptial, Shin Dong went up and embraced Yesung in a scene reminiscent from Brokeback Mountain.
Anyways, what's up with all these injuries to Super Junior members? You had Hyukjae injuring himself from falling down a stage, and Siwon having a leg injury in Taiwan. What are these guys made out of? These guys break down faster than a chinese toy. Maybe season 2 of explorers of the human body should focus on their brittle bodies. Of course, the biggest injury risk for Super Junior are their psycho fans - ELF.

SuJu Kim Hee Chul is Serious About Being a Girl
It seems Super Juniors' Kim Hee Chul is taking his old dates with TVXQ U-Know way too seriously.
SM Entertainment who has recently decided to enter the musical business, held a celebration to kick off their new venture, in which Super Junior member Kim Hee Chul attended, looking as fruity as ever.
The SM Art Company will be releasing XANADU as their first musical production, starring Super Junior members, Kangin and Kim Hee Chul.
Isn't that cute? It's like Barbie and Ken live action. I'm positive this will fill Hee Chul with a great deal of nostalgia for his childhood years. Upon further examination though, he also looks like a reject ELF / Legolas from Lord of the Rings. That's ironic, considering Super Junior fans call themselves ELF.

TVXQ U-Know and SuJu Hee Chul Caught Red Handed
On a recent episode of SBS Star Show, TVXQ member U-Know Yunho blamed Super Junior member Kim Hee Chul for breaking up with his girlfriend.
Prior to debuting with TVXQ, U-Know had a girlfriend. Unfortunately, the relationship went to shambles when U-Know was spotted, cheating with Super Junior member Kim Hee Chul.
U-Know and Kim Hee Chul used to hangout, often going to coffee shops, but it wasn't long, until U-Know's girlfriend discovered the shocking truth.
"At that time, Hee Chul used to have long hair. To make matters worse, whenever I met up with him, he always had a pink jacket on. My girlfriend at that time spotted us and mistook Hee Chul as a girl." U-Know stated. "I tried to explain to my girlfriend that it was Hee Chul, but she didn't believe me and we broke up."
There's definitely something wrong when you're completely mistaken for a girl. But then again, it's not uncommon in the world of Super Junior, seems like Lee Teuk isn't the only Sole Sista.

Super Junior Donghae Sheds Tears of Sadness
On 'Super Show', Super Junior member Donghae got the chance to perform the song 'My Everything'. It turns out that this song was written in memory of his father who passed away in August 2006.
On an episode of 'Showbiz Extra', Donghae said that his one wish is to sing in front of his father. Donghae became teary-eyed and said, "The most special day was the last time that I got to see my dad on August 8, 2006. My sole wish is to sing in front of him."
SuJu’s concert sold out in 18 minutes
Three years after their debut, the 13-member group, Super Junior is having their first international concert. "The 1st ASIA Tour-'Super Show'" concert sold out completely, only 18 minutes after the tickets went on sale.
Tickets for the concert went on sale on January 20th at 5 in the afternoon. There was so much activity going on that the server crashed. However, 18 minutes after the server was restored, all 13,000 seats that were available, were then sold out.
"When SuJu members found out about their sold out concert, they were extremely happy," one source said. "However, now they feel that they must execute their performance perfectly in order to meet the expectations of fans."
The concept of the concert is to emphasize the relationship between the singers and their fans.
The concert is scheduled for February 23 and February 24 at the Seoul Olympic Park Fencing Stadium. After their concert in Seoul, SuJu will be having concerts in Beijing, Shanghai, Bangkok, Taipei, and five other Asian cities.
Super Junior’s Kim Kibum dates only older women
Big Bang’s TOP isn’t the only one who like ‘em old. Super Junior’s cutie Kim Kibum confessed that he also prefers older women during his latest drama “Happy Events at Chunja’s” press conference. To make sure that he got his point across, Kim Kibum added that he dated someone who was nine years his senior when he was nineteen.
Two cases of Oedipus Complex in one week - it won’t be long until dating older women becomes the norm. And who’s complaining?
Super Junior & Girls Generation represent Sunkist
Do you seriously need Super Junior AND Girls Generation to sell Sunkist’s new drink? Either Father SM had a buy one get twenty-three free sale or Sunkist’s Sweety-aide tastes like crap. Maybe both. Super Junior & Girls Generations are now official faces of Sunkist. Tasty.
Super Junior M buys Chinese love
Super Junior M is making rounds of donations - not with their money, but with other people’s money to buy the Chinese love. SuJu M donated 6.8 million Yuan with Jinsimyung pharmaceutical on Honam TV to offer relief to students who lost school supplies during the earthquake. Then Super Junior M manged to raise .7 million Yuan on a variety show to help build schools in underprivileged areas. Super Junior M is getting the credit for all the nice deeds without coughing up a penny. Father SM definitely knows how to fabricate an image for the Super Clowns. Kudos to Father SM.
Do we seriously need another Super Junior subgroup?
Father SM released yet another SuJu subgroup named Super Junior Happy and the six fruit-loops of this group are Lee Teuk, Yesung, Kangin, Shindong, Sungmin and Eun Hyuk.
Super Junior Happy will release their single beginning of June and the title song “Cooking? Cooking!” will feature some fruity moves as the picture suggests.
It looks like Father SM is aggressively pushing these subgroups after SuJu M brought home the ”Asia’s Most Popular New Group” at the 5th Annual Music King Awards hosted by the China Cultural Arts Fund Organization and Guangdong TV.
But seriously, we don’t need another Super Junior subgroup with strange names.
Super Junior grows like mushrooms
Father SM has made it loud and clear that Super Junior will remain a project group by adding more clowns to the circus and creating the latest sub-group, Super Junior M, despite Elves attempts to stop him. Obviously mobilizing to boycott SM products and scrapping SM stocks were ineffective.
Anyhow, Super Junior M - which stands for Super Junior Mandarin (still huh?) is set to debut in China on April 8th, 2008 with new comer Zhoumi and random selections of existing SuJu boys including Siwon, Dong Hae, Kyu Hyun, Henry, Ryewook and Hangeng.

Origin of the name
Before the official name of the subgroup was released, they were often referred to as Super Junior-China. On April 3, 2008, SM Entertainment released the official name of the subgroup, Super Junior-M, with "M" representing the word "Mandarin," expressing the subgroup's ambition to become successful in the Chinese music market not limited to only China. The "M" can also represent a list of other aspects, such as the first letter of their debut album, Me, and also "mi" (Chinese: 迷), which can mean "charismatic" as well as "fan" in Mandarin, the latter meaning referring to their desire to connect with their fans.
2008: Debut

They are one of the few new generation singers known to have been capitalizing trot music, the oldest form of Korean pop music. Super Junior-T contains six Super Junior members, Leeteuk (the leader), Heechul, Kang-In, Shindong, Sungmin, and Eunhyuk.
Pre-debut:
Noticing the dying trend of trot music, SM Entertainment decided to revive the style by producing an idol band that capitalizes trot music, however, adding the music its own touch of modern pop and rap. Three months before debut the future subgroup performed "Don't Go Away" at the M.NET/KM Music Festival on November 25, 2006 with Super Junior's Donghae.

The single's rankings quickly rose in both Korea and Thailand-based music stations and was #1 on the charts two months later.Due to their active participance in trot music and their comedic appearances, the subgroup gained outstanding attention from the older audience despite their well-known young idol images that was created for them in their mother group.
2008: Comeback

Super Junior-K.R.Y
Super Junior-K.R.Y, established in late 2006, is a trio formed by Super Junior members Kyuhyun, Ryeowook, and Yesung. The label discovered that these three members developed a particular persona and subsequent fan-base that was separate from the rest of the group, and how they also had similar musical qualities. The label therefore grouped these three members together to perform particular songs to target a particular audience. Being amongst the most vocally powerful members of Super Junior, Super Junior-K.R.Y are credited to singing mournful, R&B-style ballads, 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.
K.R.Y's first official performance was on November 5, 2006 on KBS's Music Bank. They have participated in the original soundtrack of the tvN drama Hyena with a total of three tracks, including the main theme. The trio also contributed tracks in two additional original soundtracks, one track in both the soundtracks of Snow Flower and Billy Jean Look at Me. Unlike Super Junior's other sub-units, K.R.Y has not officially released a single or album, only participating in collaboration albums and original soundtracks.

Attack on the Pin-Up Boys
Twelve members, excluding Kyuhyun, appeared in the group's debut film Attack on the Pin-Up Boys. The first film released by SM Pictures, it premiered on July 26, 2007 in Korea. Although the film was promoted as a typical high school comedy, the movie gained positive reviews from critics, praising that the movie had a well-oriented plot unlike most idol films. However, ticket sales remained low in the premiere month despite it's unexpected success in the sales the first week.Throughout the remaining of the year, the film failed to attract more than 102,600 viewers and was proven to be a big loss for SM Pictures. However, both versions of the film's DVD became a best-selling record and were sold-out in both Korea and oversea markets, which is more than enough to make up for the production loss of 8,500,000,000 won.
Summary
After the unusual attack on a school flower boy (heartthrob / pretty boys) on February 14, the same attacks began to happen at different high schools on every month of the same day. Rumors say that the next victims will be at Neulparan High School. The studious student Kibum (stars Kim Kibum) decides to investigate the matter, blogging all of the terror events on the 14th of each month, causing the event to become a hot topic within the student body. After several attacks, Kibum predicts that the next victims will be Siwon (Choi Siwon), president of the student body; Heechul (Kim Heechul), president of the dance club; and Kangin (Kim Young-woon), the captain of the Judo Team.

With five members from Super Junior-T and Yesung, they formed the subgroup, Super Junior-H.

2007: Don't Don
Heechul's fracture of the femur from a car accident on August 10, 2006 and April 19 car accident prevented Don't Don from being released until September 20, 2007.

It was their first performance in which the group performed together as thirteen after a whole year.

2006–2007: "U" and breakthrough success
On May 23, 2006, SM Entertainment announced the addition of a new member, Kyuhyun, being the youngest member. The new thirteen member group released their new single, "U" online for free download on May 25, 2006. "U" had over 400,000 downloads within five hours of release and ultimately exceeded 1.7 million downloads, crashing the server.The single was soon followed by the release of the second semi-promo track, "Endless Moment" on May 29, 2006. The CD single "U" with a total of three tracks was officially released on June 6, 2006, eventually selling over 83,000 units. The title song "U" enjoyed number-one spots for five consecutive weeks on two of Korea's top music programs for the first time in the group's career. The song was crowned as SBS Popular Songs' Mutizen Song of the week as soon as it was released, being the first award for the group since debut. The song then stayed as Mutizen Song for three consecutive weeks on the same program. The song also grabbed top awards from M.NET's M!Countdown for two weeks. When promotions for "U" were still active, a new single, "Dancing Out" was released on July 23, 2006 as part of SMTown's annual summer album. Super Junior had been frequently appearing on various musical and variety programs to promote both of their new singles thereafter. "Dancing Out" collected two awards as soon as it was released. Because their single "Dancing Out" was a special summer single, they had their "Goodbye Special" (performing their last singles "U" and "Dancing Out" for the last time) on SBS Popular Songs on September 3, 2006. With the release of "U", Super Junior collected over seven awards in five of South Korea's music award ceremonies as 2006 came to a close, winning Best New Group and popularity awards.An official fanclub was created for the group, E.L.F, an alphabetism derived from the phrase "Ever-lasting Friends."Since Korean fans tend to support their idols with a certain balloon color, Super Junior's official color became pearl sapphire blue.
With the start of 2007, the group began to branch out into different splinter groups. Super Junior-K.R.Y, the first subgroup of Super Junior that debuted on November 5, 2006, began to give separate performances away from the group to promote their new songs. In February arrived a second subgroup, Super Junior-T who released their first single, "Rokkugo!!!". Han Geng, who had problems with his visa and was limited to give music performances in South Korea, headed to China and began activities there. On April 19, 2007, four members of Super Junior, Leeteuk, Shindong, Eunhyuk, and Kyuhyun were injured in a car accident that deeply affected the group's schedules and progress. Being the most injured, Kyuhyun was not discharged from the hospital until four months later, therefore unable to participate in the group's single for SMTown, "Full of Happiness". Nonetheless, the cover from the former boy band H.O.T. accelerated quickly in singles charts in both South Korea and Thailand and soon became a number-one hit in Thailand's international charts a month later.
2005–2006: The Super Junior project

"Show Me Your Love" became the highest selling album of December 2005.
After "Show Me Your Love" performances and promotions were finished, Super Junior 05 moved onto their second single, "Miracle", a light bubblegum pop song. "Miracle" was the group's first single to peak at #1 on different music charts of South Korea as well as international charts from overseas countries, such as Thailand.It was their last single to be promoted from SuperJunior05 (TWINS). As promotions for "Miracle" slowly came to an end, SM Entertainment decided replace some of the original members with new ones. Prior to Super Junior 05's debut, the group was intended a rotational group with new members replacing the old members who would leave the group. After Super Junior 05, Super Junior 06, the second generation, would debut, and the label had began to take actions to announce the new members. However, after the addition of a thirteenth member, the project group was changed to a permanent group and became known as just Super Junior, without the suffix "05".

Pre-debut
News about SM Entertainment's unprecedented plans of forming a large project group spread over the internet as early as 2004. In early 2005, SM Entertainment confirmed rumors and announced that a large twelve member all-boy group would debut near the end of the year, promoting the group to be "The Gateway to Stardom of Asia." For a while the group was known to be called O.V.E.R., an acronym for "Obey the Voice for Each Rhythm." Soon the group became known as Super Junior 05, the first generation of Super Junior.
Most members have been actors, MCs, models, or DJs prior to debut. Heechul, Siwon, and Kibum made their debuts in dramas and films. Leeteuk, Yesung, Kang-In, Shindong, Sungmin, and Eunhyuk made cameo television appearances and became active DJs or MCs after debut. Han Geng made his first media appearance as a model.
Super Junior 05 made their pre-debut appearance on the Korean channel, M.NET on September 11, 2005. At the showcase, Super Junior performed various styles of hip hop dancing. The group danced to B2K's "Take It To The Floor." Han Geng, Eunhyuk, and Donghae also performed a separate dance away from the group, dancing to Usher's "Caught Up." However, the performance did not air on television until May 16, 2006 as a segment in the Super Junior Show, the group's first television documentary.

Choi Siwon here in the Philippines
Controversy #2
~CHOI SIWON WILL COME TO THE PHILIPPINES TO BE THE NEWEST BENCH MODEL
Choi Si Won will visit Philippines on a four-day promotion tour for the clothing line "Bench" in June. Si Won gained about 1,000 Philippine netizens and will be given a star treatment in Manila, dining from a special menu at the most luxurious hotel.Also, Si Won will travel to the Philippines to participate in a Habitat for Humanity project presided by the Filipino NGO Gawad Kalinga and with teen star KC Concepcion.Si Won will then go back to China for the first round of "Bench" promotion tour along with Super Junior-M.
HOAX! A Big HOAX! Again, the curious yet concerned Filipinos confirmed this rumor. Choi Si Won won't be coming to the Philippines. Reportedly an eager fan who asked the clothing company regarding Choi Si Won's visit as a new Bench model seems to be untrue, as the clothing company replied, "...we are not getting Choi Siwon as a model at this time."
BUT!!! "We are not getting Choi Siwon as a model this time.."
so it means, there will be next time?

Why Super Junior refuse to come here in the Philippines?
Filipinos always ask this question
~Why Super Junior refuse to hold their concert here in the Philippines?
3 out of 9 cities in Asia are not yet confirmed for Super Junior's Asia Tour. 2 Super Junior members, namely Kang In and Kim Hee Chul chose Philippines as part of their Asia tour when they planned Super Show. Because of some Filipino who bashed Super Junior with negative comments in CyWorld, Friendster, Yahoo, Imeem, Youtube, Super Junior didn't promote here.
Filipinos also ask
~What shall we do?

Super Junior E.L.F Philippines
Hello Philippines~
Hi, there are alot of Filipinos who wish to have a SuJu ELF club here in the Philippines. Probably because Super Junior isn't recognized that much here in our country, they doubt to create a SuJu ELF Philippines.
Also, rumors fly around that Super Junior don't wanna come here because of such "Korean Antis" here in the Philippines.
Others also convince me in making this blog because of the fact that I always face my computer to write blogs about Super Junior.
Let's work on this!!
