'I was truly impressed after I saw Yunho sunbei's dance that day, I started dancing since then, and began to imitate continuously. After that more than just dancing alone, I started to dream of standing on stage as a singer.'

Karam was shy but said honestly that he is 'TVXQ's Uknow Yunho's fans.'
(omitted)

‘When I watched SBS's 'X-Man' and 'Love Letters', I fell into Yunho's dance. He said, 'When I started to imitate dance steps, I understand more how powerful Yunho sunbei is. Although I wanted to become a legal person, but my dream had changed to singer after I saw Yunho hyung.'

Favourite singer - Yunho
Favourite musician - Yunho
Favourite artist - Yunho
Person whom I respect- Yunho
Person who influenced me the most - Yunho
Person whom I must meet - Yunho

After that, although he met Yunho before debuted as a group, but because of overwhelming excitement, his whole body became stiff, and missed the chance to greet him. He was regretting after that.

'Thanks to Message' in MINI Album which was released in June:
Dae Guk Nam Ah first MINI album...
Because it is an album which included everyone's efforts and sincerity, please support us with lots of love.
Jung Yunho sunbei whom I respect and made me determine to choose the path as a singer.
My father and mother, although I am always your little boy, but please look forward from now on to your son who strives hard to become a better person.
I love you.

He only wrote about his parents and Yunho, and Yunho was written first. Isn’t it great?

B-Pass August 2010 Issue (The Interview)





During MC section, while turning 360 degress spread looks to the audiences, Jejung said, “There are a lot of men~” then he asked “Hey, for men only, please cheer out!”, and while (the male fans) were fewer than women in number, “Waaa!” a bass-sound of cheering sounded. Listening to that, “I think it perfectly suits World Cup (laughs)” saying that, Jejung unintentionally burst into laughter (laughs). We’re now delivering the issue during the second day Tokyo Dome concert on the 13th. The three members’ singing and dancing was really cool, but during MC section, they smartly switched the atmosphere into a relax one (laughs). Since Jejung and Yuchun has just appeared in TV dramas (Jejung for Fuji TV drama ‘Sunao Ni Narenakute’ while Yuchun in mobile BeeTV drama ‘Beautiful Love~Kimi ga Ireba~’), there were many times topic about drama was brought in.
While watching the two members’ drama scenes being aired on the giant screen at the center of the stage, Junsu kept doing ad-lib for Jejung role ‘Doctor’, also when the other two members disclosed funny/interesting episode during Yuchun drama filming, Yuchun turned deep-red in embarassment, yet the fun interaction kept continuing.

Meanwhile Junsu, “Although the two members’ video drama is airing now, but my musical starring ‘Mozart!’ video is not going to air~” he mumbled with a bit sadness (laughs).
● Everytime during Yuchun solo ‘My Girlfriend’, one girl from audiences would be chosen to step on stage to be his girlfriend. On this day, the chosen girl was a 15 year old came from Gunma prefecture named ‘Miki’. When her name was asked, Yuchun immidiately reacted, “Miki-chan? I’m also Micky! So it’s double Micky~” Yuchun showed a happy expression. With Yuchun at her side, the smile on ‘Miki-chan’ face remained stiff from the beginning til the end due to excessive nervousness, but it’s also cute at the same time (laughs)

Before the shoot, all of them went to the Noraebang (Karaoke). They don’t like to sing their own songs. Jong Hyun sang Bi, Taemin sang Min Kyung Hoon and Onew danced weird disco (lol). They shot their music video few days ago so went home late, but didn’t seem to tired. During the shoot, when they saw any funny pictures of the members, they laughed and saved on their phones.

Now the interview part!

Q (for ON): If you have to go on the “Gold Fish” (Kang Ho Dong show), what would be your problem that you want to address?
On: Oh, I thought about it yesterday… I was listening to the music and kept thinking about it and fell asleep at 6am, but couldn’t decide.
T: Your problem is you don’t have a problem.
O: Am I living an easy life? Haha.

Q (for JH): If you are going on a space travel, who would you go with? You might crash or may not be able to come back.

Q (for Key): What is the most ridiculous thing you have heard that describes SHINee?
Key: We are noona’s “romang” (I guess it means ideal, dream?) Also, when we went abroad, they called us world popstar, etc. When announcer said “Introducing world popstar SHINee!”, we were so embarrassed at the backstage. We just went “what?”
JH: It’s not like we are Michale Jackson.
TM: But it felt good.

Q (for TM): What are the famous “sokdam?” (I think it means “sayings”? not sure.)

ON: I’m worse looking than Kang Dongwon.
Key: Can’t you just write that I look better than my dad?

Key: Too many, clothes.
JH: Not even one.
ON: Alexander Wang sunglasses.
JH: I will throw it away.
Key: I don’t like it when someone invades my space. Isn’t it weird to use my stuff behind my back?
ON: You should lend it when asked. You don’t like someone using your things behind your back? Who did that?
Key: When I bout body cleanser.
ON: Oh, that’s right.
Key: It was used so much. (everybody laughs hysterically again). Haha. They thought it was a present so used it. I don’t even like if my mom changes my bedding without telling me. I still use blanket and pillow from home. (laughs). I cannot adapt easily if they change things like this.

Q (for Taemin): What would be the reason if you disappear?
TM: Something really serious. When I decided to walk different road.
ON: Sincere answer.
JH: Curring all ties.
ON: I will not do that, haha.

ON: Food.
JH: Yeah, food always comes back.
ON: And I don’t mind spending money on friends.

Everybody: Wow! Did you eat steak?
Key: I would mind.
ON: But I never think it is a waste to eat with friends.
Nylon: If someone wants to become a friend with Onew?
JH: You have to be reborn.
OH: I have to reborn too and become friends from junior high. My very best friend is from elementary school, 2 are from junior high.
TM: You have to be friends from long time ago.
ON: Yeah. Since I debuted, I couldn’t go home for a long time. My mother runs a restaurant and my friends acted as her soon instead of me after school. Therefore, I don’t mind spending money on them.

Q (for JH): If you are a 007 Bond, who should be the Bond girl?
JH: Lee Minjung. I really like her. Ah, I wish.

Q (for Key): What kind of person you don’t like most?
Key: Someone who has no sense (who doesn’t get it?) But it’s not like that person has a problem, it just means we do not fit.

TM: When we shot title music video.
Key: This one was the hardest. Choreo is amazing.
JH: We were so out of breath.
TM: After shooting the mv, it is a morning. After waking up, it does not seem like it happened yesterday, more like few years ago.
JH: It seems like a dream.

Q (for ON): If you can eat only one food for the rest of your life?
TM: Steak. I can eat it. I love it. I can only it and live.
ON: Only thing you don’t get sick of is ramyun.
Key: It lasts one week for me if eat it for only one day.
ON: Really? When I was in junior high, I ate ramyun 3 times a day for 2 months.
Everybody: Why? How?
ON: Since both my mother and father work, ramyun is the simplest to make and eat.
TM: You must be good at making ramyun.
ON: Yes. But I cannot measure water for 2 people.
JH: I’m daebak. I can measure upto 4 ramyun.
JH: TM adds honey to ramyun.

TM: I always thought about doing it one more time before I did. Haha.

Q (for TM): What is the earliest memory you have?
TM: I don’t know how old I was but playing at home. It was a slide but I couldn’t get up on it by myself so my brother lifted me up.

TM: The ones with honey?
JH: – -
Key: It’s a red flower right?
JH: I drank any flowers (laughs)
ON: Mind is really ridiculous. I remember falling down on the stairs. When I was young one of the neighbor boy bullied me all the time. Hyung pushed me and I fainted. However, I forget the next day and played with him, then get hurt.

Q (for Key): If someone steals your computer, what would worry you the most?
Key: Photos! I transferred all from my cell phone. I’m not worried about someone exposing them, but losing them bothers the most. I collected them for 3 years and other members gave me all the pictures.
Nylon: Are there any picture that shouldn’t be exposed to the public?
Key: There are few the company should be careful of. Haha.

Q (for TM): If someone give you several millions and ask you to give up being a singer, what would you do?

Key: I think I can do music without being visual. Like at home.
JH: My goal is to become a songwriter so if I cannot do that, I don’t want the money.
TM: I dream was to become the best… I will just earn the money.
ON: It’s several millions.
TM: Ah, sorry but it’s tempting.
JH: SHINee’s answer, “tempting.”
Key: Actually, we don’t really care that much about money right now. We don’t know the value of money in exchange of what we want to do. (laughs).
JH: Ask us 5 years later.

Minho Come Back

SHINee’s injured member Minho is recovering well, but with his current condition, it is uncertain whether he can perform on stage on the day of SHINee’s comeback. Minho injured himself while filming KBS “Let’s Go! Dream Team 2″ on the 7th, delaying SHINee’s original comeback date from the 16th to the 23rd. Hospital tests revealed Minho had ruptured the muscles in his right calf. Minho’s condition has improved substantially, but whether he can perform on the 23rd still remains to be seen. His agency stated on the 20th, “Right now Minho is recovering well with rest and treatment. However, it is still unclear if he can perform on stage on the 23rd. The choreography is brilliant and has many different movements, so whether Minho can dance still needs more investigation.”

ABOUT SUJU




They debuted in 2005 with the single "TWINS (Knock Out)" as a twelve member group but added a thirteenth in May of 2006 with the release of their single U.

Super Junior's popularity has spread across Asia and they have held concerts in such places as Thailand and Japan. Several of the members had previous jobs as VJs, actors and models previously, which helped to boost the group's popularity. Super Junior is composed of 12 Korean members and 1 Chinese member.


The members are Leeteuk (the leader), Heechul, Han Geng, Yesung, Kang-in, Shindong, Sungmin, Eunhyuk, Donghae, Siwon, Ryeowook, Kibum, and Kyuhyun. The Chinese member, Han Geng, was chosen among 3,000 applicants through auditions held in China by SM Entertainment in 2001. The group initially debuted with twelve members on November 6, 2005, but since the addition of Kyuhyun in May 23, 2006, they have become a thirteen-member group.

As of 2010, only 10 members are active, due to Han Geng's ongoing lawsuit against SM Entertainment, Kibum's pursuit of other interests, and Kang-in's leave of absence for mandatory military service.


THE HISTORY

Since the late 1990s, Korean talent agency and record label SM Entertainment has been holding annual auditions to scout new talents that complemented the success of pop groups H.O.T, S.E.S, and Shinhwa, all of which were created by SM founder Soo-Man Lee in the mid 1990s. Leeteuk and Eunhyuk were the first two members of the group to be recruited in 2000 under SM's Starlight Casting System in Seoul.

In 2001, the company held their first overseas casting auditions and discovered Han Geng in Beijing, who was chosen among three thousand applicants. That same year, Yesung was discovered under Seoul's casting system with his friend HeeChul. Sungmin and Donghae were also selected to be trainees after their appearance in an SM-sponsored contest. In 2002, Heechul and Kangin was recruited along with Kibum, who was discovered in Los Angeles. Siwon was casted in 2003 and Ryeowook in 2004, in which the latter was discovered through the Chinchin Youth Festival singing competition. In 2005, Shindong was selected.


Not long after boy band TVXQ's debut in 2003, news about Lee's unprecedented plans of forming another boy band quickly spread on the Internet. In early 2005,Lee confirmed the news and announced that an all-boy project group of twelve members would debut near the end of the year, promoting this singing group to be "The Gateway to Stardom of Asia." Lee announced that that most members in this group were chosen because of their performing experiences as actors, MCs, models, and radio hosts prior debut. Heechul and Kibum were already established entertainers, and most of the other members had already made various kinds of appearances on television and media. Highly inspired by the rotational concept of Japan's girl group Morning Musume, this group would also experience line-up changes, with new members replacing some selected members every year to keep the group constantly young and all-rounded. This concept was then newly introduced to the K-pop market.

For a while the group was rumored to be called O.V.E.R, the acronym for "Obey the Voice for Each Rhythm." However, before the group settled with their current name, SM simply referred to them as Junior, a representation of the members' young ages when they first became SM trainees. After the members'
showcased their different talents to the company at a picnic, the company finalized their concept name to Super Junior. The group thereafter became officially Super Junior 05, the first generation of Super Junior.


Super Junior 05 made their pre-debut on the Korean channel Mnet on September 11, 2005. At the showcase, they performed various styles of hip hop dancing. The group danced to B2K's "Take It To The Floor." Han Geng, Eunhyuk, and Donghae also performed a separate dance away from the group, dancing to Usher's "Caught Up." However, the performance did not air on television until May 16, 2006 as a segment in the Super Junior Show, the group's first television documentary.


Super Junior-K.R.Y

Super Junior-K.R.Y, established in November 2006, is a trio formed by Kyuhyun,
Ryeowook, and Yesung. The company discovered that these three members developed a particular personal
and subsequent fan-base that was separate from the rest of the group, and how they also had similar musical qualities.hey therefore grouped these three members together to perform particular songs to target a more mature audience. Being amongst the most vocally powerful members of the group, Super Junior-K.R.Y are credited to singing mournful, R&B-style ballads, a style that has proven very popular in recent years although stagnation in the style's development is causing it to lose its once fresh evocative power.

In early 2005,Lee confirmed the news and announced that an all-boy project group of twelve members would debut near the end of the year, promoting this singing group to be "The Gateway to Stardom of Asia." Lee announced that that most members in this group were chosen because of their performing experiences as actors, MCs, models, and radio hosts prior debut. Heechul and Kibum were already established entertainers, and most of the other members had already made various kinds of appearances on television and media. Highly inspired by the rotational concept of Japan's girl group Morning Musume, this group would also experience line-up changes, with new members replacing some selected members every year to keep the group constantly young and all-rounded. This concept was then newly introduced to the K-pop market.

For a while the group was rumored to be called O.V.E.R, the acronym for "Obey the Voice for Each Rhythm." However, before the group settled with their current name, SM simply referred to them as Junior, a representation of the members' young ages when they first became SM trainees. After the members'
showcased their different talents to the company at a picnic, the company finalized their concept name to Super Junior. The group thereafter became officially Super Junior 05, the first generation of Super Junior.



Super Junior 05 made their pre-debut on the Korean channel Mnet on September 11, 2005. At the showcase, they performed various styles of hip hop dancing. The group danced to B2K's "Take It To The Floor." Han Geng, Eunhyuk, and Donghae also performed a separate dance away from the group, dancing to Usher's "Caught Up." However, the performance did not air on television until May 16, 2006 as a segment in the Super Junior Show, the group's first television documentary.



Super Junior Sub Unit

Like SS501, Super Junior does also has a Sub Unit.

Super Junior-K.R.Y

Super Junior-K.R.Y, established in November 2006, is a trio formed by Kyuhyun,
Ryeowook, and Yesung. The company discovered that these three members developed a particular personal
and subsequent fan-base that was separate from the rest of the group, and how they also had similar musical qualities.hey therefore grouped these three members together to perform particular songs to target a more mature audience. Being amongst the most vocally powerful members of the group, Super Junior-K.R.Y are credited to singing mournful, R&B-style ballads, a style that has proven very popular in recent years although stagnation in the style's development is causing it to lose its once fresh evocative power.



Super Junior T

Super Junior-Trot (Korean: 슈퍼주니어-트로트), officially known as Super Junior-T (Korean: 슈퍼주니어-티) is the second official sub-unit of Korean boy band Super Junior.They are the first idol group known for capitalizing trot music, the oldest form of Korean pop music.

the number one best-selling single of 2007, according to the Music Industry Association of Korea.In November 2008,the subgroup returned with a debut in the Japanese music industry, releasing the Japanese version of "Rokuko."
