Not only is it the first day of the New Year in Korea, but it is also Super Junior's Sungmin's birthday!
Siwon tweeted early into the New Year with a happy birthday message to his fellow member, stating,“Happy birthday Sungmin my brotha!”, and “also enjoy your birthday and first day of 2012 go Sungmin!!!”
He also revealed two photos: the first being one in which Sungmin is seen smiling happily into the camera with his birthday cake, while the second showed Sungmin covered with cake from his head all the way down to his shoulders.
Fans commented, “Oh no! Poor Sungmin! Hahaha“, “Happy Birthday to you Sungmin oppa!“, and “Happy New Year to you both!”.
Saehae bog manh-i bad-euseyo and saengil chukka hamnida Sungmin oppa! :D
The ‘2011 KBS Music Festival‘ hosted a bevy of strong performances from many of this year’s top artists.
As reported earlier, the festival did not see performances from YG Entertainment and C-JeS Entertainment artists due to scheduling conflicts and other tensions. That being said, fans still got to see great stages from the likes of SUPER JUNIOR, SNSD, IU, INFINITE, Lee Seung Gi, and more.
In the midst of numerous year-end events and programs, one that, perhaps, shines the brightest is the ’2011 SBS Gayo Daejun’.
The Hallyu-themed show has brought out a star-studded line-up of many of the biggest names and the most anticipated rookies in K-Pop including TVXQ, 2PM, Super Junior, 2NE1, Girls’ Generation, Wonder Girls, KARA, B2ST, CNBLUE, F.T. Island, Brown Eyed Girls, T-ara, miss A, f(x), Lee Seung Gi, IU, Kim Hyun Joong, After School, MBLAQ, INFINITE, Dal Shabet, Boyfriend, A Pink, B1A4, SECRET, 4minute, G.NA, SISTAR, Davichi, K.Will, TEEN TOP, Rainbow, U-Kiss, SHINee’s Taemin & Jonghyun, Zelo & Bang Yong Guk, EXO, and Pledis Boys. (Some artists did not participate in the red carpet event)
The show will not be aired until December 29th 8:50PM (KST), but in the meantime, check out some of the red carpet videos below!
<Super Junior>

Super Junior expresses frustration over ‘SBS Gayo Daejun’ pre-recording mishap
On December 29th, fans were disappointed to discover that SM Entertainment had not informed fans prior to the pre-recording for the ‘2011 SBS Gayo Daejun‘, leaving Super Junior without a crowd support in the audience of such a prestigious event.
The members immediately took to their Twitters to apologize for the incident and also let out a bit of steam over the mishandling of the event.
Leader Leeteuk expressed, “This isn’t right… They should’ve put up notices beforehand, no? I’ll apologize on behalf of them~”Donghae also quickly apologized, “Sorry, ELF…”
Eunhyuk frustratingly tweeted, “This year-end doesn’t mean anything without our ELF… so frustrated!!!!!! Eat food, eat food twice.” The sentiment was retweeted by Leeteuk, Donghae, and Siwon, who added, “Eat thrice~^^ kekeke,” and “Keep eating.”
Siwon wrote in English, “Any way.. you look at it, there isn’t a group more hard-working than us, and there can’t be a group more pitiful than us..damn it! if we’ve done anything wrong, it must be the crime of working too hard, don’t you agree everyone? well just forget it.. what a long day..”
OMO!!! This is some interesting news! SUJU DAEBAK! CHUKAHAE SUJU~! :DDD Nan jigeum jeongmal haengbokhaeyo (I'm sorry if there are any grammar mistakes)~~~ hahaha. XD
Asia’s hottest idol group Super Junior set a new record, becoming the top artist to sell the most albums over the past 3 years.
The ‘2011 Singer Awards‘ reflects the artists that sold the most albums according to sales data from Hanteo, and Super Junior sold 355,900 albums between January 1st, 2011 and December 27th, 2011.
Super Junior’s cumulative album sales (of all 32 singles and albums they’ve released to date) for 2011 amounted to 350,000 units. This was the highest number of sales since the ‘Singer Awards’ were established back in 2009. Seo Taiji boasted 248,800 units in 2009, while Girls’ Generation set a new record last year by moving 309,400 units.
Super Junior’s full length album ‘Mr.Simple‘ was a big factor that contributed to their impressive sales numbers. ‘Mr Simple’ Type A alone sold 199,300 copies while Type B sold 53,500 copies and their repackaged album sold 73,900 copies. All together, their fifth album alone sold 326,800 units. Behind Super Junior was TVXQ who sold 230,000 units and Girls’ Generation who sold 226,700 units.
The two names that stood out on the list, however, were INFINITE and IU. The boys of INFINITE came in at 7th place selling 124,100 units while singer IU was the only soloist to break the top 10, selling 92,900 units at #9.
Hanteo charts calculates the data by collecting 85% of their information from nationwide music sales and 15% from accumulations in their own information database along with national sale estimates.
Super Junior's Choi Siwon recently revealed his extremely close relationship with fellow member Kyuhyun.
Choi Siwon shared the above photo via his Twitter page on the 27th and wrote, “#nowplaying Sung Si Kyung – Memory.. keke”
The photo was a collection of smaller photos in which the two display ‘skinship’ with hugs and even kisses on the cheek, hilariously making the two seem like a loving couple.
The Super Junior members are known to be like close brothers, but this photo definitely confirmed the brotherly love among the boys.
Netizens who saw the photo left comments such as, “What am I supposed to make of this?”, “You guys look good together“, “You guys are just brothers right?”, and “lol you love him that much?”
I'm sorry that I'm late to post this. Neomu mianhaeyo... >///<
Aaaah~~~ I'll never get tired of watching their MVs and performances. :) The fanchants are awesome as always. :D My biases are Yeppa and Kyuppa, but when I see all of them performing on stage, I LOVE THEM ALL. Haha. XD
One of my favourite Kpop groups along with SuJu, SNSD and 2NE1. :)
f(x) (Korean: 에프엑스) is a five member South Korean girl group formed by SM Entertainment in 2009. The name is a play on the mathematical notation for function, and when input with different 'x', there can be many different outcomes. f(x) strives to be the kind of girl group that can change and adapt to many situations. The group members have also been nicknamed "function girls". The group made their debut on September 1, 2009 with release of a digital single "La Cha Ta" (stylized as "LA chA TA"). The quintet consists of Victoria, Amber, Luna, Sulli and Krystal.

But I just watched it and the boys are so cute in this video so I decided to post it here. :P Did you notice that in the beginning when Teukie said "We are Super Junior", everyone was holding up their hand except for Hae? He was clapping, haha. Then Hyukkie looked at him and Hae stopped clapping. LOL. EunHae. XDD ♥ ♥ ♥

2NE1 is also one of my favourite Kpop groups apart from SuJu, SNSD and f(x). ;) (I'm new to Kpop, remember that, so I only know a few Kpop groups). :)
Here's some info about 2NE1 and it's members:
2NE1 (Korean: 투애니원; Tuaeniwon) is a popular South Korean hip-hop/pop girl group formed by YG Entertainment in 2009. The band consists of four members: CL, Dara, Bom and Minzy. The name 2NE1 combines the phrases "21st century" and "new evolution", and is pronounced "twenty-one" or "To Anyone".
They first appeared in "Lollipop", a commercial campaign with Big Bang for LG Electronics, and their debut single "Fire" was released on May 6, 2009. Since then, the group has released two extended plays, 2NE1 and 2NE1 2nd Mini Album, and one studio album, To Anyone.
Fans of 2NE1 are called Blackjacks, which is a reference to the card game Blackjack, also known as Twenty-one.
Full Name: Lee Chae Rin (Hangul: 이채린 | Hanja: 李債潾)
On the latest episode of MBC's ‘We Got Married’, the show’s couples reenacted the Pepero kissing game that Eunjung and Lee Jang Woo once played.
The three couples, Park So Hyun – Kim Won Joon, Eunjung – Lee Jang Woo, and Kang Sora – Leeteuk, gathered together to watch the various scenes from ‘The Best 1 Minute Picked By the Production Staff’.
Eunjung and Jangwoo’s best 1 minute was revealed to be none other than their kissing scene from their Pepero game, and other jealous couples requested that they be allowed to re-enact the scene.
Jang Woo stood up without hesitation, and confidently stated that he would show everyone how it’s done, much to the surprise of Eunjung.
Before the couple launched into the game, Jang Woo tried to make Eunjung feel more at ease by telling her, “Recreate the mood from that last time.”
When the two were almost done eating the Pepero stick, Jang Woo turned his head towards the camera as if to block Eunjung from view.
Following them were Park So Hyun and Kim Won Joon, who succeeded in a kiss as Won Joon grabbed So Hyun’s face and brought his lips to meet hers. After succeeding, Kim Won Joon made everyone laugh as he expressed outloud, “MBC, thank you,” unable to hide his happiness.
The last couple to follow was Kang Sora and Leeteuk, who are now 3 months into their “marriage”. Before the game began, Leeteuk showcased his manly leadership as he told Sora to stay still as he’ll do the rest.
However. just right before Leeteuk could reach Sora’s lips, the nervous Sora cut off the Pepero, ending the game and leaving Leeteuk with a dumbfounded and wishful expression on his face.
On December 24th, Super Junior-M's Henry shared a special Christmas gift with his fans.
The idol teamed up with f(x)'s Amber to deliver a beautiful ballad full of their hopes for a better, brighter future. While Super Junior fans are well-acquainted with Henry’s musical talents, Amber surprised many with her guitar-playing skills and rich voice (especially since she’s known as the rapper of her group).
SM ENTERTAINMENT’S UNFAIR TREATMENT TOWARDS SUPER JUNIOR REMAINS A HOT TOPIC Controversy regarding the unfair treatment Super Junior is receiving from SM Entertainment (especially in comparison to SNSD) is still brewing hot on Korean boards. Recently, a post on Nate Pann received about 205,069 views and made it into the top 10 most viewed/commented post of the week. It received about 2,125 recommendations and 1,227 comments as of October 16th. The full translation of the post is as follows: – 1. Let’s begin with what Lee Soo Man himself thinks of Super Junior (this is taken directly from an interview he had):
“그는 ㅂㅇ 가 일본 진출에 성공한 이후 아시아뿐만 아니라 세계에서 통할 수 있는 최고의 팀을 구상했다. 그러나 자원의 한계 때문에 선택과 집중이 필요했다. 그래서 여러 팀에서 최고를 한 사람씩 뽑아서 메이저리그라고 할 수 있는 단 한 팀을 구성했고, 그것이 ㄷㅂㅅㄱ였다. “여기에 선발되지 않은 팀은 모두 와해될 판이었습니다. 하지만 계약을 했기 때문에 책임져야 했지요. 그래서 그런 팀 중에서 음악도 잘하고 버라이어티쇼도 할 수 있는 팀으로 키운 게 슈퍼주니어였어요. 그들은 살아남기 위해 피눈물나는 노력을 기울였고, 저희도 미안해서 도와주게 됐지요.”
“Lee Soo Man successfully advanced BoA into the Japanese market and began planning the best team that he would be taking not only into Asia, but worldwide. Because of the limits of support, he needed to focus and choose. Out of several different teams, he chose one member from each and brought them together to create a ‘major-league’ team. That team was TVXQ. Lee Soo Man stated, ‘The members that weren’t chosen to be a part of the team were on the verge of disintegration. But because we had already contracted with them, we had to take responsibility. One of the teams was Super Junior, a group we raised to excel in music and variety shows. In order to survive, they had to cry tears of bleed through their efforts. We felt sorry for them, which is why we helped.’”
So I guess that’s proof that they don’t care what happens to us and that they’re only supporting the group out of sympathy. To SM, it doesn’t matter whether Super Junior does well or not. I feel so bad for our oppas, they have nothing but their fans to trust in a company like that. It’s always the fans that are promoting their albums for them.
2. SM Entertainment changed Super Junior’s solo concert to an SM Entertainment concert.
Europe had been sending many requests for a Super Junior concert. Right when they were preparing one, SM changed it to a full out SM Entertainment concert. Peru voted Super Junior as the #1 artist they wanted to see there. Not SM Town, but Super Junior. They had petitioned for a Super Junior concert for some time now.
3. Album quality
SNSD’s album is made out of iron – obviously a lot of work was gone into it. But as for us? Ever since our second album, we’ve been getting nothing but pieces of paper. But it gets better. I heard that SNSD’s iron album is only $19. Our pieces of paper was $20. Since when did paper become so expensive in Korea? SM never does anything for us. At first, we were just upset and shocked, but now we’re so used to it. Don’t you think this is too much, though?
4. SM is trying to delay Super Junior Show
5. SM is always re-using sets for Super Junior’s music videos and teasers
6. SM always cuts off Super Junior with ‘etc’ when talking about their company in articles.
For example: “Starting with H.O.T., artists under SM like BoA, TVXQ, SNSD, and etc are receiving much popularity overseas.” Lee Soo Man also stated, “TVXQ is a group formed by taking the best members out of three idol teams. Super Junior is a group with the rest of those members. Because of that, there was a large difference in skill, which is why they had to grit their teeth to work to become the world’s greatest idols. It’s a result I myself didn’t expect.”
7. Heechul’s SM diss on radio:
“내가 가끔그러거든요.그 회사분들이랑 얘기할떄 아니우리뭐 대만에서 38주 1위하고 뭐 미인아도 지금뭐 18주짼지 몇주짼지 1위래요 이런거#%@#^* 왜 우린왜 기사 많이 안나와요. 따른데 처럼 막 플레이하고 우리도 빵빵해야지 우린 아무것도 안하는줄 알잖아요.그렇게 얘기하면은 회사에서 어떻게 하면 되게 고마운 말이에요. 아이.. 우리는 슈퍼주니어가 그정도하는거는 어느정도 되게 당연하다고 생각하기 떄문에 고런걸로 괜히 호들갑 떨필요 없다고 생각한다. 그래가지고 제가 그러거든요. YO말만잘해 욕쉬~”
Heechul: “I sometimes mention how we’ve been ranking first in Taiwan for 38 weeks and how Bonamana has been topping for 18 weeks and stuff like that when talking to people in our company and ask why they don’t make articles for us. I asked them to put out a few headlines like other companies do so that people just don’t think we’re doing nothing. When I say things like that, however, they’ll say back, ‘It’s because we think that it’s definite that Super Junior achieves those things. I don’t think it’s necessary to make a big deal out of things like that.’ So I’ll always just say back, ‘Yeah, you’re all talk.’”
8. ELF, the more things like this happen, let’s not forget our roots and continue to protect Super Junior!
“It is not the cry of an immature child. Being a fan means being brave enough to protect what is most precious to you.” I’d like to make it clear to Sones or fans of other SM groups that we are not hating on SNSD or Sones, we are criticizing the unfair treatment SM is giving Super Junior! Sones, please don’t apologize for something that isn’t your fault.
– The three best replies were as follows:
1. 1,413 agree, 54 disagree “So they made a group that they didn’t even think would do well out of pure sympathy. They made them sleep only 2-3 hours a day and travel to Malaysia, China, and Korea in just a day. They made someone who lost their father three weeks ago stand on stage and sing bright songs. They made an injured person that couldn’t even walk properly drag their legs on stage to sing. They made someone that had just come out of a car accident to go on TV. In such a tragic setting, you forced these kids to go on variety shows, perform at events, made them the talk of misunderstanding and criticism just so you could touch a bit of money. Even if they created laughter on variety shows, worked so hard to the point of fainting, they were only given several hundreds for their work – all members included. Even slaves are treated better than this.”
2. 1,382 agree, 67 disagree “Super Junior cried tears of blood to reach the position they are at now.”
3. 751 agree, 19 disagree “How much harder must we work to get some support? Super Junior was able to ride a private jet for their schedules on this Music Core, but it wasn’t provided by the company, but by the broadcast station. Thank you, broadcast station.”
Random reply: “There’s a reason why Super Junior is so nice to their fans. Everything their company and networks say are different so even though they have to trust them, they don’t trust them all the way. They have nothing but their fans to depend on… Elfs know that, so we take care of each other. Thinking back to all the times that we petitioned together, suffered together, and cried together makes me think that I can’t quit being a fan just yet. Things that other fandoms took three, four years to experience, we had to experience just a thousand days into their debut. We have no where to trust – not the company, not anyone – except the members. The members knew that and were always by our side. The company never gave their support, and the fans, using our own hands, got them the DJ the positions they have now. This post makes me think of the old times where I believed that all we had to do was hold it in… hold it in until the group grows more, until they’re at the very top, to create and rewrite history because we have so much more to show."
