MAA Super Junior’s interview—Super Junior: Not teenagers’ Super Band anymore.

1, 2, 3…13?
The sexiest and most talented teenagers in Asia all belong to one group? Although it sounds impossible, this is the truth.
Also, they have caught all the teenage girls’ hearts when they started to show their bright and valiant look in front of the fans, they are one
of the best boys groups in Korea, the Super Band where all 13 members have their own special charisma—Super Junior.
In 2005, a group that is made up of 12 members have released their first album <Super Junior05 (Twins)>, creating turbulence in the music industry.
Their first single album <U> created a storm with its charming R&B rhythm, and became the king of chart lists for a period of time. It swept over numerous
awards ceremonies, the name Super Junior become the whole new idol under people's eyes.
In 2006, Kyu Hyeon joined this group which doesn't seem to have a course to follow as the new member, this means the number of members changed from
the number 12 to the magic number 13. The next year in 2007 they moved away from bad luck, and released <Don’t Don>. This is an album of excellent
quality, and later received the appraisal of being one of the best music album in 2007.
Now MTV Asia is making public the envious interviews with these happy teenagers. Although only 6 members participated, we actually had a happy time without
any complains. We have talked with Lee Teuk, Eun Hyuk, Si Won, Sun Ming, Dong Hae and also Kyu Hyeon about what does love mean to them, their plans
with different skills, and also special habits

Welcome to MAA as the candidate of Korea Most Popular Artists! MAA Awards
Ceremony will choose a fixed main theme every year, and the symbol that
represents MAA this year is the Roman character “M”. What comes first
your mind when you think of the Roman character “M”?
Si Won: Super Junior – M!
Lee Teuk: Music! MTV! Man!

Super Junior has always appeared with uncommon hair style and costumes.
During the process of nonstop makeovers, which makeover did Super Junior
members actually like?
Eun Hyuk: Our hair style and costumes can be expressed into different styles
from cute to wild. However, compared to what is shown to everyone, we have
our own different and colorful personalities and specialties.

In other words, the style of Super Junior's new album will be a huge surprise
to people compared to their appearance when they first debuted. What does
each of you think about the changes this time?
Lee Teuk: The first album showed our approachable and cute sides. Therefore,
we wanted to show our more mature side after growing up in the second album.
As a result, we emphasized our masculine side more.

A lot of boy bands have debuted recently in Korea, it seems like most of
them are good in K-POP and lyrical music. What do you think is the difference
in music of Super Junior and other boy band?
Lee Teuk: The most important thing is our group has 13 members. I think
this is already a big difference, and it's a point worth remembering. Moreover,
every member has their different personality vocals. Not only this, we
have touched on different areas such as drama and design. I think because
we have these, we have a more skilled and talented investable group.

You have once said, the most memorable Super Junior show is the Full House
which was hosted with two oversea girls Anna and Elva. Maybe a lot of fans
are curious about how this show came out, and is there any plan for Super
Junior to open the hostel again.
Lee Teuk: I think Full House is a very active and valuable experience. We
have learnt a lot through this show, and are happy at being able to share
Korean culture with oversea friends. We would like to do this one more time
if there is any chance.

Oh, I see. So let’s talk about different topics now. In these 13 members,
seems like Lee Teuk is the speaker most of the time and also some members
are more straight forward than other members, more active in interviews.
If there is an equal chance for every member to express their views, what
will happen?
Lee Teuk: Who knows, each one of us has our own talents and our own role
in the group. Kyu Hyeon has powerful vocals; Sun Ming has the role of being
our “Poster Boy” with his unique cuteness. And Dong Hae is a brilliant
dancer.
Dong Hae: Si Won has an outstanding face which is charming in everywhere
in the world; Eun Hyuk is famous for his outstanding rap singing. Because
of these, we can fairly distribute our roles so that we can show everyone’
s special talent in different areas.

If this is the case, what about younger members such as Dong Hae, Sun Ming
and Kyu Hyeon? Are they always treated badly by the older brothers?
Lee Teuk: Yes. This is the role of younger brothers! [Laugh]

You're always living and traveling together; is there anyone in the members
with special habits?
Si Won: I will always bring a lot of bags every timeI go on holiday.
Sung Min: Si Won always tries to bring everything with him, and also can
tidy those things perfectly.
Lee Teuk: Therefore, whenever we want sports machines or medicines, we always
go to Si Won. He is the best roommate.
Si Won: So we always bet in order to chose our roommate.

The tour concert named Super Show was started a few months ago. Why didn't
you go to Singapore?
Lee Teuk: We will open the tour concert in lots of cities in Asia, and have
decided to make the tour performance in 9 cities starting from Thailand.
Actually we really want to come to Singapore, but why didn't anyone call
for us?!

Oh, I get it. It's our fault. Don’t worry; I will pass on this fact to
our boss.
Super Junior: YEAH!!

Most of the Super Junior songs seem related to love. What does everyone
think love means?
Kyu Hyeon: Love is sweet
Sun Ming: I haven’t had any relationship before, no sure what love is.
Oh… Love will arrive soon.
Lee Teuk: Love is sad
Oh, god! Why so pessimistic?
Lee Teuk: Because I don’t really have good experiences about love [Smile]
Oh my God. What a pity!
Don Hae: I think love is romantic.
Si Won: Love is patience

Lastly, please reveal something about Super Junior that no one knows.
Eun Hyuk: We are very straight forward when we participate in reality TV
shows, Fans almost know about all of our things.
Lee Teuk: More important is they even know Eun Hyuk’s feet smells really
bad. [Laugh]
Eun Hyuk: No! No!

Right, I believe Eun Hyuk! Thank you very much to take your time to chat
with me, wish you all the best! And also…see you next time!

<<Vogue>> Fashion Pet magazine, Dong Hae, Sung Min Interview

It seems that you are very happy because of the dogs. Why do you keep dogs?
Sung Min: Its character is very lively and cheerful. Living with it, I seem to be more energetic, and my mood becomes better because of it, so I began
to keep dogs.
Dong Hae: I've always wanted to keep little dogs, so I decided to keep them the moment I saw them.

The reason of their names?
Sung Min: When we say "Fighting", the pronunciation in pure Korean is "Ari Ari", so I name my dog "Ari" according to this. Isn't it fitting?
Dong Hae: As my name is Lee Dong Hae, it reminds people of the East Sea, so that's where the name "BADA" comes from (Note: in Korean "BADA" means
"Sea").
As for "Meo", I think Romeo in the movie <Romeo and Juliet> looks very handsome, so I used this name.

What's the cutest moment of the little babies?
Sung Min: When it's sleeping with me on the bed and it slips into my arms, it's really cute.
Dong Hae: When I got home after itineraries, it immediately runs to me to welcome me, that puts me in a very good mood.

Has there been any accident?
Sung Min: When I got home after work and found the rooms in a mess. Ari has lifted the quilt, bit the remote control, and even the springs in it
has popped out. That was a really mad day!
Dong Hae: Like me, BADA and Meo are quiet babies, so they seldom get into such big troubles. Haha!

What's the special way to communicate with the little babies?
Sung Min + Dong Hae: Exchange expressions in the eyes? Look at them seriously in the eye to praise or criticize them, because no matter human or animal,
their eyes reveal their truest feeling.

Lee Teuk indicates he has a favorable impression towards announcer Kim Joo Hee (transliteration)

"I like the announcer Kim Joo Hee.” Super Junior's Lee Teuk expressed his favorable impression towards SBS's announcer Kim Joo Hee.

In the "Choosing Partners" section of SBS's <Quiz The Six Sense Challenger> broadcasted on the 6th, Lee Teuk said without hesitation "I like sister Kim Joo Hee", shocking the others. Afterwards, Lee Teuk directly ran to announcer Kim Joo Hee, stretch out his arms to protect her and had close skin contact. The other guests all jealously made fun of his goose bump-inducing behaviour. Lee Teuk, who is currently doing activities as Super Junior-Happy, recently revealed his ideal type in the <Confession Songs of Young Boys and Girl> of the music channel KM. Lee Teuk said the most important thing is to have feeling, "In the past, I really cared about the appearance of the girls, as I thought this part has to be beautiful, and that part has to be beautiful, too. But now when I see the others, I care more about the feeling of being able to communicate with each other. She shall seem to be someone I feel I will get along with very well." The reason is "Doing activities as Super Junior, the majority of my time is spent with members in the dorm, and there's no time for romance. So I haven't had a relationship for a long time. When I'm attracted by the opposite sex, I’d like to feel for once how that feeling changes into love. If I will have a relationship, because it'll be for the long term, I care more about "feeling" than anything else." Also, Sung Min said his ideal type is a girl who is skilled at cooking. Regarding the reason, he expressed his simple dream -- because he wants to eat the delicious food made together with his girlfriend.

The "Yeong Sook Ya" section of SBS’s <People In Search of Laughter> becomes a public topic for its appearance of glamorous guests every time. In the episode of <Looking for Laughter> broadcasted on the 4th, Super Junior's Shin Dong and Lee Teuk performed as special guests. Shin Dong appeared on stage wearing the mask of a pig as the waiter Mama Pig. He took off his mask the moment he got on stage, and the shocked audiences broke into loud cheers. Surprised at the excited responses of the audience, the performing guests also threw off the restraint, and the audience called out for a long period of time in return. The guests wanted to enjoy the love of the elegant girl "Yeong Sook" alone, so they took turns to say "I talk with Yeong Sook every night", "I talk with my eyes". Later, Shin Dong said: "I will lie down and then speak. As my body is chubby, it's more comfortable to talk lying down", making the audience burst into laughter. In order to show Yeong Sook the better side of himself, Shin Dong danced the group dance with the other performers. However, as the faster movements gradually became more exhausting, Shin Dong refused to dance more, saying: "If I continue to dance, I'll be thinner. If I become thinner, I will have no individuality, so I won't be able to make money". The audience again exploded into laughter. Afterwards the show of Super Junior’s member Lee Teuk also received a lot of applause. Also, newcomer Kang Ye Bin (transliteration) was the surprise performer for that day's "Yeong Sook Ya" section, and in the end she chose Shin Dong.

All my friends ran away, I was the only one who left." then the rascal asked how much money do I have? I said: "Only the 4,300 won that I planned to buy DJ Doc's CD". Usually, rascals will grab the money and go, however, Lee Teuk continued: "His expression suddenly changed and praised me with 'you are such a brave boy. Let me catch your friends who've run away.'" So they go and catch them instead.

After hearing that, MC and other guests said:" Maybe that rascal is DJ Doc" MC Kim Chang Yeul even threw a look of suspicion on DJ Doc. He respond that "Usually, we won't do such things, but maybe our fans did that." the recording scene was filled with laughter.

Besides, Lee Teuk also talks about the true story of his parents and Super Junior member Shin Dong who had smelly feet. These also brought laughter to the audiences.

SJ-Happy, no matter what we're doing, Singing is the most "Happy"

Lee Teuk, Kang In, Shin Dong, Ye Sung, Eun Hyuk, Sung Min
The 6 most optimistic members of the 13 members group Super Junior have gathered together.
The name is "Super Junior-Happy". Along with "Super Junior-M" which recently entered China, this is the 4th sub-group of Super Junior. With its happy music and choreography, its specially brand of happiness brings the feeling of joy to fans.
Group activities are a matter of course, and each members' individual activities also keep them busy, but as long as they can be together in the name of "Super Junior-Happy", then the 6 mischievous people will be happy no matter what.
Once they're gathering together they will be full of joy. Actually, they bring joy to everyone they meet, the task of asking after them is also joyous.
"Like the songs of COOL seniors, there were a lot of songs representing summer. But recently there hasn't been any songs like that. It would be nice if our Happy can have that effect. It will be enough if we could bring joy to the people who are morose. It would be even better if we can create more joy." (Lee Teuk)
The most outstanding 'Summer Song' prediction is Super Junior-Happy's first single 'Cook King'. The amusing episodes caused by eating the food made by girlfriends, lyrics like this make up the dance. Dance moves such as 'Dance of relish', 'Cooking Dance', 'Wok Dance' make the people who are watching it even happier.
"After discussing with members, it was decided to use the more common ideology of 'Happy' as the name of the song." (Ye Sung)
Actually, it's very difficult to just get the 6 members together in one place, but the production of the album was finished at an astonishing rate. Because of individual itineraries, it's almost impossible to gather all 6 members into the studio. Did the dance choreography and singing practices go smoothly.
"Because everyone had TV shows, we usually gather together after 2 in the morning. Even then no one lost their temper, it was finished very happily." (Lee Teuk) "Now the situation is similar. Things like choreography we practiced while observing." (Eun Hyuk) "No matter whose fault it is, we do show understanding to each other. It's like soccer for example, if the striker isn't there, then the other players would take that position." (Shin Dong)
The busy itineraries can be done as 'Happy' group is another reason for the passion. Even though members show their talents in variety shows in a wide range of fields such as MC, actors, and even radio DJ, but no one will forget that Super Junior's essence is singer.
Members say in unison "No matter how fed up, how tired, the moment we're on stage, the tiredness disappears in an instant. It is because this is the stage that fans shout and smile for us."
Members also constantly hear criticism such as "Don't you guys appear too often!"
"We frequently hear criticism on the moment we show up when the TV is turned on, you're not a water tap and etc, and also mockery like there's a lot of sub-groups during this period of time. Letting HAPPY show up again is nauseating, but we're still entertainers and singers as well. We would like to let everyone constantly see a new appearance" (Lee Teuk) "I think we are appearing constantly like this is similar to the situation when we don't constantly appear, popularity among fans will drop. Actually this is also due to the concern for us." (Kang In)
Super Junior-Happy's members except for Ye Sung are all doing activities as a radio DJ. From 8 o'clock in the afternoon to the next day at 2 o'clock in the morning the radio station is filled with the voice of HAPPY members. Radio stations provide us with the energetic elements of strength.
"When we're in the process of radio station, we don't know before if there are guests appearing. DJing seems to become a habit. Haha" (Sung Min)
They were asked what is the hardest thing of doing so many different activities.
Members answered in unison saying it's the hardest as a "singer". "Even if you're only on stage for 3 minutes you still have to show everything to the audience. So we really did a lot of research. Even though it gets more stressful as the stage activities go on longer and longer, but at the same time it's also more interesting. Finishing the preparations weren't easy for the members, but it's very joyful to be able to sing together like this."
