►Suju’s press conference at the 2k8 MTVAsia Awards
안녕하세요 말레이시아!: The SuJu boys are excited and happy to be at the 2008 MTVAA...except maybe Heechul (3rd from left), who seems to be sleeping.
Looking absolutely spiffy in their black suits, Super Junior fielded questions from the press
How does it feel like to be a nominee at the 2008 MTV Asia Awards?
Eeteuk:
I’d like to thank everyone for inviting us to the MTV Asia Awards. As a representative of the Favourite Korean Artist Award, we will give our best performance tomorrow night.
You just had a concert in Thailand last month, how do you feel about it?
Eeteuk:
We would like to thank our fans for showing up at the concert and for their love and support.
When you were singing (at the concert), why were some of you crying?
Eeteuk:
Even though they didn’t know the language, all the fans sang along to the words they knew the lyrics. We were touched.
I hear that not all 13 members will be here for tomorrow's show. Who isn't here and why?
Eeteuk:
Kangin and Shindong are not here now, but they are on the way; Hankyung is participating in the Beijing Olympics ceremony so he can’t make it and Kibum is shooting a drama series in Korea.
Is Super Junior will return to Malaysia for the Super Show concert?
Eeteuk:
We will definitely be stopping by Malaysia for this tour and we would like to thank you for welcoming us each time. We would definitely come.
All of you are so well-dressed today, how did you think up of the look?
Eeteuk:
Our stylist picked out our clothes today.
Handsome oppas: ELFs, don't you think your oppas look dashing?
What is the strangest Korean dish that you would recommend a courageous person to try?
Eunhyuk:
There are a lot of Korean food such as kimchi and bulgogi but we would recommend Samgyeopsal, a pork belly soup dish which we highly recommend. When you come to Korea, just go: “삼겹살 주세요”. (samgyeopsal juseyo = samgyeopsal please).
Last time you came to Malaysia for a photoshoot and as guest artists for DBSK. Do you remember any Malay words that you have learned?
(Randomly from the boys) Terima kasih...Apa khabar?
(Thank you and How are you? respectively).
As a successful Korean band, did you have to sacrifice a lot to get to where you are today?
Eeteuk:
First of all, we have to give up having a girlfriend. By giving up having a girlfriend, we now have so many “girlfriends” all across Asia (steps up and points to all the ladies in the room, and laughs).
Ha ha ha: Eeteuk jokes about having many Asian "girlfriends".
Will you make another music video in Malaysia again?
Eeteuk:We shot an MV in Kuala Lumpur and it turned out to be the best video we’ve ever shot. If we ever get a chance, we would come back to shoot another MV.

►Super Junior at MTV Asia Awards
Welcome to the MAAs as first time nominees of Favorite Artist of Korea! The theme surrounding this year’s MAAs revolves around the letter ‘M.’ What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of the letter ‘M?’
Siwon: Super Junior – M!
Leeteuk: Music! MTV! Man!
You’ve always had radical hairstyles and outfits. With the constant changing of image, what is the real Super Junior like?
Eunhyuk: The hairstyles and outfits have ranged from cute to wild. But we’re more colorful and are much more multi-faceted in personality and character than that.
Having said that, your new album is a remarkable departure from the bubbly image of your first. What are some of your thoughts on this change?
Leeteuk: The first album portrayed us as more boyish and adorable. As for the second album, we have grown up a little more, and so this is us in a more manly sight.
Right now there seems to be quite a large number of Korean boy bands coming, and they’re mostly all going down the K-pop and ballad route. So how do you distinguish yourselves from them musically?
Leeteuk: Well first and foremost, we have 13 members. So that’s already a huge difference, and a memorable one to boot. And each and every one of our members has a different and unique voice. Aside from that, we also do other stuff like acting and DJing. So we have a more well-rounded portfolio.
Speaking of which, I think one of your most memorable shows has got to be Full House, the home-stay chronicle with Anya and Eva. I’m sure a lot of us are curious to know how that came about, and whether Super Junior is planning to open their home in future again.
Leeteuk: The Full House experience was a very moving and rewarding one. We learned a lot from it, and we’re also really glad that we’ve been able to share a bit of the Korean culture with our foreign friends. If there’s ever the opportunity, we’ld definitely like to be doing this again.
Erm..Well actually I didn’t think of that but now…Let’s just move on, eh? With 13 people in a band, the leader (Leeteuk) is usually the one who’s the main spokesperson. And some of the members are also more outspoken than others. So in that case, how do all the members get equal representation in the band?
Eunhyuk: Well, each of us have our own talent and contribution to the band. Kyuhyun is vocally powerful, Sungmin is our poster boy of cuteness, Donghae is a good dancer.
Donghae: Shiwon has the global face, and Euhyuk is known for his rapping. So in a way, we all get a fair share of showing what we’re good at.
What about the younger ones then? Donghae, Sungmin and Kyuhyun. Do they get bullied all the time?
Leeteuk: Yes. It’s mostly what they’re there for! [Laughs]
Living and touring together all the time, what are some of the weirdest habits of some of the members?
Siwon: Every time I go on a holiday, I always carry the most bags.
Sungmin: He brings almost everything possible, and he organizes them neatly.
Leeteuk: So if we need exercise equipment, or even some kind of medicine, we’ll just go to him. He’s the best possible roommate to have.
Siwon: We always have some kind of a bet to see which roommate we’ll get.
You’ve been on the tour the past couple of months for the Super Show. Why isn’t Singapore one of your stops?
Leeteuk: Well yeah, we’ve actually been going to a lot of other places in Asia. We did the first show in Thailand, and we’re planning nine more stops. We’d actually have loved to make a stop at Singapore. Why haven’t you called us?!
Ahhh I see. Our bad. Don’t worry. I’ll be sure to speak to my boss about it.
Super Junior: YEAH!!!
A lot of your songs talk about love. What exactly does it mean to you, anyway?
Kyuhyun: Love is sweet.
Sungmin: I haven’t really known what love is all about actually.
Aww so soon
Leeteuk: Love is being lovesick.
Oh dear. Why so negative?
Leeteuk: I haven’t had very good experiences with it. [Laughs]
Oops okay I’m sorry!
Donghae: Love is romantic.
Siwon: Love is patient.
Finally, tell us a little-known fact about Super Junior.
Eunhyuk: Well, in all our reality TV shows we are usually very honest about ourselves, and so our fans know most everything about us.
Leeteuk: Even to the point of knowing about Eunhyuk’s smelly feet. [Laughs]
Eunhyuk: No! No!
Alright, I believe you, I do! Thanks, boys, for talking to me. Good luck! And bye!
►Super Junior wins 2008 MAA
Back in June, we told you about the nominees for the Korea's Best Artist title at the MTV Asia Awards 2008. The nominees were Big Bang, Girls' Generation, Super Junior and the Wonder Girls.
The award was decided by online voting and not surprisingly, Super Junior came out on top. There was no way the ELF were going to be denied. It was a foregone conclusion since Super Junior were the only ones attending the event, which was held in Malaysia.
Congratulations to Super Junior.
►Siwon puts Rain to shame
At the 2008 MTV Asia Awards, Super Junior won the award for Favorite Artist of Korea on August 2nd 2008 in Malaysia where Siwon accepted the award on behalf of the group. POPSEOUL! notes that Siwon’s English skills, although obviously rehearsed, sounded eloquent compared to the nonsensical verbal from Rain’s multiple attempts at English.
here's Siwon's thank you speech:
