Super Junior News [2008 archieves #19]

►SHINee Backhands Super Junior



Rookie boyband SHINee paid homage to their Super Senior hyungs by performing Super Junior’s classic song “Miracle” on MNet Music Countdown.

Their intentions were to praise Super Junior, but all they ended up doing was outshine them. Ultimately, their performance undermines the purpose of having 13 people in an idol group. Why have 13 people when 5 will suffice?

Super Junior is starting to look like yesterday’s news when paired next to the SHINee tweens. I wonder how Super Junior felt dancing alongside their version 2.0 counterparts.

Check out the performance below:




►SMfest 080904 Press Conference in Thailand has been cancelled

From the situation of Thailand right now, ADAMAS finally has announced cancellation of the SM TOWN LIVE IN BANGKOK 2008 Press Conference which was going to be held on the 7th of this month. And the date of ticket public selling will be the same which is 7 September 2008 and also the online ticket which will be available in www.thaiticketmajor.com, starts at 10 AM. (local time). Further information about the press conference will be announced again.

►SJH will stop some promotions activites

Because of their busy schedule and Kangin+Heechul’s schedule for Xanadu (which will affect them for 2-3 months),
Super Junior H will be stopping their broadcasted station promotions.
They will continue to perform at outdoor concerts, such as the Korea Thailand Friendship concert which is on the 25th.
The members will continue their Every1 Idol Show, probably other variety shows, and continue their radio show programs.


►Kim Heechul is more comfortable kissing boys

Super Junior member Kim Hee-chul (25) revealed in an ETN reality show recently that he will save his first kiss (to a girl) for his future wife. Heechul expressed that he feels uncomfortable when the director of the musical Xanadu asked him to do a kissing scene with a female actress. But we all know that Heechul has no problems kissing fellow Super Junior member Sungmin on stage.

There are so many Super Junior boys that it is hard to keep track of their activities. Each of them are busy with their own projects and occassionally come together as a group which makes the fans super happy.

Heechul and Kangin have landed themselves roles in a musical entitled Xanadu. In the ETN reality show To be Kangin and Heechul, you will see both Kangin and Heechul's preparations for the above-mentioned musical.

►Super Junior M Set To Release New MV

China's most in demand boy band finally has a new project.




After the the expanded promotions for U, Super Junior M finally announced they will be releasing a new promotional MV, 迷 (Me).

According to the members, they filmed 3 Music Videos in one day including U and Me, therefore many Behind the Scenes caps of Me has been leaked onto Baidu but it was not until now that SM finally announced the upcoming release of Me.

However, no date has been set for the release.

Super Junior M was originally scheduled to perform Me Live for the first time on September 16th during the Asia Night Concert but their appearances has been canceled for the night. This sudden change of plans currently makes fans assume they will be performing Me for the first time during the 18th Qing Dao Beer Festival Ceremony instead, which will be on the 19th of this month.


►Wonder Boys Debuting On SBS Inkigayo



Imagine five guys from four different well known groups coming together to crush the top female groups in Korea. Although that did not exactly occur, these five guys from Super Junior, Shinee, 2 AM, and Big Bang attempted to do just that during the 500th special episode of SBS’s Inkigayo which aired on September 7, 2008.

Shindong (SuJu), Sungmin (Suju), Taemin (Shinee), Jo Kwon (2 AM), and Seungri (Big Bang) came together for a special stage where they performed their rendition of Girls Generation’s “Girls Generation” and Wondergirls‘ “So Hot”. Their performance was for lack of a better term interesting but allowed the fans to see another side of their favorite groups.

Amazingly, Taemin, who debuted with no solo parts in “Nuna is So Pretty”, was given solo parts in which you an hear him attempt to sing aswell as see the femininity flexibility of all the singers who participated.

Along with the Wonderboys, Lee Hyori, KARA, Super Junior Happy and F.T. Island performed as well.


►Super Junior M At SM Live Shanghai, Lee Dong Hae Favors SNSD

The next stop for SM Live Tour will be in Shanghai, China on September 13. While the previous SM Live concerts did not feature any performances this one will featured SJM peforming 3 songs. This will be their first time performing Me, which will be the new MV to be released.

Along with Me they will be performing U and Love Song (Ai Ni Ai Ni). Since Super Junior's original Me Live Debut performance has been canceled SM has decided to pushed the performance earlier instead of postponing.

Super Junior M's performance will be the 28th - 30th song line up of the night.

In Other news, Super Junior M's recent radio show guest spot as been broadcast in China. The show revealed the members' personalities and habits. As the show continues, the SJM members named their Chinese and Korean Idols. Lee DongHae received the most attention when he named SNSD (Girls' Generation) as his favorite Idol Group instead of Boa Kwon. who was favored by all the other members.

After all the negative press SNSD has received, Lee Dong Hae's respond stirred curiosity from both Chinese ELF and Flawless.
