Super Junior | Super Junior, Reveal Your True Identity
MBC's "Radio Star" talked with 4/9 of Girls Generation; 10 Asia met with 6/13 of Super Junior. Both are groups that one can actually use the terms "4/9" and "6/13" to refer to. Yoona began acting before debuting with Girls Generation and Super Junior created units like K.R.Y. that are composed of only a few members. As if Girls Generation and Super Junior were office workers in a company, they each do activities as MC's, solo artists, and actors. Ryeowook, who says he has participated in every Super Junior [main group] performance, has performed on "a stage with only 8 of the members," and Kibum has been unable to participate in this 3rd album's promotions because of separate activities. In places where these 3rd generation idols are doing individual rather than group activities, they mention their groups' names often, like "Super Junior's Kangin." They have clearly shown that they are being marketed as entertainers rather than just idol singers, and ever since, the management of idol stars in the music world has definitely changed.
Super Junior was the first to show this kind of activity, and they have also been the most extreme. To the members, the group's name seemed like a brand name that helped their individual activity. Through Super Junior, they were able to show themselves individually to the public, and also, as members like Heechul and Kangin gained popularity, Super Junior as a whole gained more fans. This might be the reason that after their song "U," Super Junior chose to promote an SMP (short for S.M Music Performance. It refers to SM Entertainment's performance based music) that consisted of "lyrics that criticized the society + metal guitar + screaming + formation choreography" like "Don't Don" as their title song instead of a more widely appealing song. As the members became more accepted by the public by individually appearing on various broadcasts, Super Junior continued the music "for SM fans" that had began since HOT days.
There is a reason that Super Junior's decision over which markets to target was more important than how much popularity they gained as a group. It has been unclear how to describe Super Junior as a group. The members' ages, as well as their areas of activity are different, but it is because of this loose connection that they were able to infiltrate whatever they faced. If they wanted to try a youthful style of trot, they could sing "Rokkuguh," and if variety shows needed "talkative idols," a few of the older members could appear on the program. The entertainment business needed the popularity of idol singers, but rather than cast idol stars who had set concepts and images, the market sought after Super Junior, whose members could play freely on the shows. For example, even though Shindong is an idol, he appeared on MBC Golden Fishery's "Radio Star" with malicious speakers like Kim Gura, and Eeteuk MC-ed and even joked around on the infamous M.net's "Love Fighter," a reality show that couples would argue on.
The way Kangin would slyly say, "Oh, but I'm an idol," whenever he talked about drinking alcohol shows exactly Super Junior's strange position as idols. They gather attention as an idol group, but they are more liberal and liberated than other idols are. The entertainment business is hard to conquer, whether as an adult or an idol, and as a group, Super Junior was unable to release greater hits than TVXQ or Big Bang. However, through mass media, they were individually able to penetrate almost all the domains of entertainment that reach the population. In the way the SM-produced film "Vacation" starring TVXQ targeted fans, so did Super Junior's "Attack of the Pin-up Boys." However, in this movie, the Super Junior members are not cool, impressive men. Instead, they create a caricature of themselves by appearing as "ulzzangs [internet stars that become famous for being really good-looking] that want to become famous." They have been unable to dominate the music industry, but because of that, they are more approachable and they can show various sides of themselves as entertainers.
Like differently shaped pieces that eventually assemble into one puzzle
Super Junior's third album title song, "Sorry Sorry," is a turning point for the members. This is not only because Yoo Young Jin did not give them an SMP like those of the past, or because, as Eeteuk said, they performed "better than expected on the music charts." Unlike Girls Generation's "Gee," "Sorry Sorry" is not a song that presented new potential by emphasizing and imposing a trend. This song, which used the musical techniques of some of Justin Timberlake and Rihanna's hit songs, caught the trend and followed it. However, during the process of following the trend, "Sorry Sorry" finally showed the characters of the Super Junior members through song. The repetitive beat and melody actually showcase the individual styles of the members as all 13 sing in rotation. Sungmin's voice, which has electronic effects added to it, shows his slightly feminine image, and Siwon, who is clearly handsome even by the standards of those who are not fans, shows a different side of himself and helps create a sexiness in the first part of the song. On that point, Super Junior is showcased better on stage rather than in the actual song "Sorry Sorry." The members express themselves differently to the same beat and perform a complicated choreography that follows the current trend but presents them as one unit. They play and promote themselves individually, making it unclear what concept they are aiming for, but they eventually create one picture, which one can say is the Super Junior now.
Super Junior's true colors are still unclear. Even the group's leader worried that "people would say [Super Junior] is not an idol group," but Super Junior has gained the most mobility among all idols, and after participating in 19 albums through separate activity, they finally released as a group their most widely appealing song. Even now, they cannot know if they will be able to become the trend in the fiercely competitive idol market. However, even when the members' individual activities became more prominent, even when "people who weren't fans remembered 'Rokkuguh' the most," and even when "Sorry Sorry" became their "first widely appealing hit song," they were Super Junior. In this way, as they worked, worked, worked through individual, unit, and group activities, they solidified Super Junior's place. Who knows if the group will "be able to continue into [their] 40's" the way Donghae wishes, living in their "Super Junior World"?
Super Junior | "Nineteen Albums in Four Years of Activities" - 1
In the history of Korean idol groups, Super Junior has a unique place. Not only are they an idol group with more individual than group activities, unlike most idol groups, they have shown the funny and light sides of themselves without reservation since their debut. Rather than appearing like an ordinary team, it is as if 13 entertainers were gathered into one group. How is it that they were able to become like this and solidify their place in this way? Super Junior's Eeteuk, Donghae, Siwon, Ryeowook, Sungmin, and Kyuhyun answered those questions.
After Super Junior won 1st place on a music show with "Sorry Sorry," fans posted with the heading "Kibum, your hyungs did it" on the fansites.
Eeteuk : Yes, they did that after we won.
You've won 1st place before, but it seems especially meaningful this time. Eeteuk even cried, no? (laughs)
Sungmin : Teuk hyung always cries. He has a lot of tears. (laugh)
Eeteuk : I was very uncertain and insecure because it had been a year and six months since we did activities in Korea. It had been a long time, and I was also worried that we wouldn't be able to adjust to the changes in music trends. The members that were in China when we were preparing for the album would call and always ask, "Hyung, how's the situation?"
"We were confident ever since hearing "Sorry Sorry" for the first time"

Seeing the video of the choreographers dancing that was released before the album came out made it seem like you were confident. You were cheering watching the choreographers dance.
Eeteuk : Yes, I uploaded it. (laugh) When we heard "Sorry Sorry" for the first time, the majority of the members said, "Hyung, I think this song will do it." I don't listen to a lot of pop music, so I don't know about music trends, but Donghae told me, "If it's this song, I'm really confident." While we were practicing the choreography and as the song was being completed, I kept thinking that I wanted to show [fans] as soon as possible.
Donghae : When "Sorry Sorry" was completed, the members were all sleeping, but when we received a text message from the company saying the song was finished and that they had sent it to us by email, all the members gathered in the living room. We were saying to each other that "With this song, we can really be confident." With that thought, we practiced the choreography together, and because we had missed each other from being apart for so long, the atmosphere was really good.
Lately, it seems that everyone is very worried about keeping up with the trend.
Eeteuk : It's because the music industry changes quickly. We worried whether we had to keep pushing on with our own style or adjust to the current trends. Also, we worried whether or not we had anything more to show because even though this is our 3rd studio album, it's actually our 19th album if you add up all the albums we've worked on. I don't know if it's because the choreographers were from abroad, but they helped us break that fixed idea.
The choreography is complicated and parts of it are difficult technique-wise , and it requires each member to do different moves. Wasn't it difficult learning the dance?
Eeteuk : The first day the choreographer came, the better dancers of the group went to learn the choreography first, and after becoming familiar with it, they gave their opinions and helped edit the dance while the other members learned it. This was so that when the better dancers did the difficult moves, the other members could cover what they needed to. Because Donghae, Eunhyuk, and Shindong dance well, when we practice, we follow whatever they say. When they want to do the choreography one more time and the other members complain that they're too tired, Donghae says to me, "Hyung, tell them that we should do it once more." Then, I say to them, "Hey, let's do it one more time. I'm doing this even at my age; let's do it once more." (laugh)
Ryeowook : We can't not do it. (laugh)
We should be able to see the members that dance more and the members who cover [support] them. (laugh)
Eeteuk : When we were learning, we also thought that there would be a difference, but after completing the choreography, it seems empty if even one of us is missing. For example, at the very end, when the members are sitting and just moving their hands, Siwon's expression and gestures....
Donghae : It's very empty without them.
Eeteuk : Slightly... because it has an American feel. (laugh)
Siwon : (laugh)Truthfully, it was very hard practicing. Still, Nick and Trent (the choreographers) were thankfully very considerate.
Eeteuk : Siwon tries very hard... But one day, he snuck out while practicing. I followed him to find him sitting in the hallway. He asked me, "Hyung, am I doing well?" Still, Siwon ultimately did well. He sets the mood in the beginning of the song.
"As we continue performing, it seems that our light image is changing slowly"

Siwon sets the mood very well in the beginning of the song. He gives it a slightly sexy feel as well.
Eeteuk : He's really chic. Middle aged women really like him. (laugh)
Siwon : Before recording, I had a discussion with Director Yoo (Songwriter Yoo Young Jin,) who wrote the song. This time, I felt that I should sing more feebly. Director Yoo also said that it would be good to sing in a sexy, light, feeble manner.
"Sorry Sorry" is a song that depends more on how well one brings life to the feel of the song like Siwon did, rather than how well one sings the notes properly. A lot of effects are used and the flow and force of the song have to be maintained; how was it singing keeping those things in mind?
Sungmin : The part I sing has a lot of electronic effects in it, so Ryeowook and I worried a lot. I could have sung regularly, but I thought it would be weird.
Ryeowook : The melody is repeated, and the pitch is easy enough to reach that one would even be able to sing the song right after waking up.That's why there are a lot of people who think the song is very easy to sing, but it was hard to get it right while recording. The feel of the song changes immensely depending on whether you emphasize the first or second syllable of the lyrics. It's not a song that requires outstanding singing ability, but we tried to bring life to the feel of the song as much as possible.
"Sorry Sorry" came out after such a thorough process, but how do you feel about the current results? It feels like Super Junior's most widely appealing hit song has come out.
Eeteuk : You're right. There are a lot of songs that our fans loved, but in terms of widespread popularity, most people remember the song "Rokkuguh," which was one of our unit songs. As a result, we wondered whether we needed a more relaxed approach in order to gain popularity from both our fans and the general public, and this time, I think we were able to do that to some level. These days, the music charts are really important, and we're happy because we're getting higher rankings than we expected on the music charts.
This time, it feels like Super Junior's strength as a team is really being expressed.
Eeteuk : Yes, that's true in some ways. To tell the truth, because Super Junior goes on a lot of variety shows and sings a lot of bright songs during unit activities, most people just see us as a bunch of fun and talkative kids. I think that going on stage together is helping us change that image.
As Eeteuk said, Super Junior had an unusual concept from the beginning. Even your greeting was, "Hello, we're Super Juni-or," and as soon as you debuted, members had individual activities. How did you gather as one group?
Eeteuk : At SM, there is something called a "presentation conference." Trainees form their own groups and sing and dance in rotation once a week in an imitation broadcast. One day for the presentation, Heechul and I performed a New Kids on the Block song. The younger trainees did H.O.T or Shinhwa songs, but the company people who saw us said, "You each have unique charms. How do you feel about coming together as a group?" From then on, we continued our individual activities and then gathered as a group, and did individual activies and in this way, came to this point.
