14 Years Of Super Junior's Career In The K-pop Industry
JAKARTA - Yesterday, Boyband from South Korea, Super Junior celebrated 14 years of career in the music industry. It's not a short time for a group, especially every year, many new groups have sprung up.
Super Junior is a group initiated by Lee Soo Man, producer and founder of the agency SM Entertainment. With its first 13 members, Super Junior kicked off Asia through their first album entitled Sorry in 2009. The song was a hit in its day, with a choreography movement that rubbed both hands.
Time keeps running. Super Junior's personnel had the opportunity to explore in other fields apart from being with Super Junior. Of course that is a good thing because it can increase their popularity and develop their talents. There are many shows and songs that they release, but VOI will provide recommendations for you. Check it out here!
Leeteuk
Leeteuk as Super Junior's leader is really a leader. Since being lined up as a regular MC on the Strong Heart program, Leeteuk has become a regular host at various award shows and variety shows. His ability to captivate the audience and get to know various guest stars made him appear more frequently in leading events.
Leeteuk has also been on variety shows, such as We Got Married. The show featured the relationship between public figures and dating acting. At that time, Leeteuk's partner was Kang So Ra, a Korean actress who became his pretend wife. The audience considered their chemistry to be very romantic.
Heechul
The king of Korean variety shows, Heechul is a regular panel member and is active in the group Super Junior. But an accident he experienced in 2006 broke his leg so that until now he is still receiving treatment and cannot perform fully with Super Junior for concerts and so on.
But not many people realize that Heechul has a high voice so there are many songs with various genres that he can sing. This year, Heechul provided the voice for the song Old Movie, a single dominated by guitar and piano as well as Heechul's melodious voice.
Yesung
Being a vocal unit in Super Junior, Yesung was given the opportunity as a solo singer by releasing several singles and albums. However, you also have to know, Yesung has excellent acting skills. You need to watch his acting as a sadistic terrorist in the Korean drama Voice in 2017. Although not as the main character, but his appearance in the drama captured the attention of netizens.
Shindong
The Super Junior dancer is known for his ability to choreograph in the group. However, don't forget that Shindong has a solo project with group UV. There are several singles that Shindong and UV released under SM Station, an SM Entertainment project to release songs from various singers both under SM and outside of SM.
Shindong's artistry skill in the song Cheer Man is considered strange but interesting. The song Cheer Man itself reminds fans of K-pop songs from the 90s. Interested to hear it?
Eunhyuk
Member of the dancer unit in Super Junior, Eunhyuk is known to be productive for his group and outside the group. There is a sub-unit group D&E fronted by Eunhyuk and Donghae, besides that there have been several single releases by him. However, in recent years, he has also appeared in several reality shows, namely Why Not the Dancer, Borrow Trouble, and as an appearance director on the Under Nineteen program, a competition event from the MBC channel. For those of you who want to see Eunhyuk teaching and fostering trainees, Under Nineteen can be an option.
Donghae
Apart from being charismatic, Donghae is known for his cute acting on variety shows. It has counted how many events it has filled. In addition, he also holds the vocal part in the D&E sub unit with Eunhyuk. However, recently Donghae with Shindong, Leeteuk, Super Junior's Eunhyuk and TVXQ's Changmin and Yunho went on an adventure together on the Analog Trip program.
This event is a collaboration between SM Entertainment and Youtube Originals. For 12 episodes, the six personnel explored and explored Yogjakarta, Indonesia. You can watch the program via the Youtube channel, SMTOWN.
Siwon
For this one member, maybe not only fans know, maybe moms also know. Starting his acting debut in 2006 through the Hong Kong film, A Battle of Wits, Siwon was praised all out by Andy Lau. Since then, he has always had Korean film and drama projects. In Indonesia, Siwon has even become a brand ambassador for Mie Sedaap products.
Ryeowook
Since his return after his military service in 2018, Ryeowook doesn't have solo projects of his own very often. Because, after his return, he immediately took part in the Super Junior concert tour. But this year, he became a regular member of the Neighborhood Album on the TV channel Chosun.
Together with Sujeong Lovelyz, KCM, and Kwon Hyuk Soo, they explore the hidden sides of South Korea and discover songs that hold a unique side to the place. Through this event, you can see Ryeowook singing, so please wait for the good news of his solo album.
Kyuhyun
Having just returned from military service in July this year, it looks like Kyuhyun has already been booked for Super Junior's shows and concert tours. The proof, there are six variety shows with Kyuhyun as fillers, namely King of Mask Singer, Kang's Kitchen, Salty Tour, RUN.WAV, Fall in Love with Music, and most recently New Journey to the West season seven.
Through this event, Kyuhyun became popular thanks to his comical talent that he displayed, even though the ELFs (as Super Junior fans) already knew this. But the action in these events can also be enjoyed by viewers who are not fans of Super Junior.
Sungmin
Declared inactive by the label, Sungmin has not been active for a long time with the group that made his name. However, recently through Label SJ, Sungmin will immediately treat fans' homesickness by releasing a solo album this month. Label SJ is a sub label of SM Entertainment which only focuses on activities of Super Junior members. Are you ready to hear Sungmin's voice sing?
It doesn't feel like 14 years is really that long for Super Junior's career. Their name is one of the figures who changed the South Korean music industry. Happy fourteenth birthday, Super Junior. Good luck and always releasing new songs!
