Pimp Post: Super Junior
The Super Junior Pimp Post
So, I'm sorry that I evidently fail by posting this two days later than I said I would, but at least I have it done, haha? Anyway, I'll also apologize right now for the fact that this is also a complete mess xD
As for my f-list, feel free to ignore this, since I'm pretty sure most of you are either well acquainted with Super Junior, or um, don't really care, lol. And I also make zero claims here to accuracy since I'm kind of sleep deprived at the moment.
The Group:
+ Created in 2005, under SM Entertainment.
+ They were originally a project group modelled after Morning Musume, (which is like this rotational Japanese Girl Group) in the sense that the line-up of the Band would have changes every year or so in order to keep the group "well rounded and youthful" (Hence the reason why they were once known as Super Junior '05 when they first debut)
+ The group first debut on Inkigayo (A music program) in 2005 with the single "Twins (Knock Out)"
+ In 2006, after their promotions for Miracle (Their second single) ended, instead of getting rid of any members, SM Entertainment added one more (Kyuhyun) and scrapped the project idea, changing their name to Super Junior.
+They've released three albums. Super Junior '05 in 2005, Don't Don in 2007, and Sorry Sorry in 2009.

The leader of the group. Constantly over-worked and whatnot, but he still manages to keep an eye out for his members and take care of them. A lot of people tend to call him "old" but I really don't get that, lmao. His personality is a little...idk, cheesy. Corny. Supposedly, he's known as "The member with the most interest in the opposite sex", which frankly doesn't surprise me at all. He needs to get a girlfriend, lol. He has an emotional side which you don't really see except when he cries/makes emo cyworld entries. He has THE best laugh known to man. It should be a type of alarm clock. His favourite colour is white. He suffers from a really bad case of Foot in Mouth syndrome, lmao. Whenever he attempts to make witty comments, he's either just misses the punchline, says something that's interpreted to be completely inappropriate, or totally misses the gist of what the thing in question was supposed to be about.
Aside from his MC-ing job, Leeteuk also does works as a Radio DJ for Sukira Kiss the Radio along with Eunhyuk.
Heechul:

My BIAS. If it wasn't for Heechul, I don't think I would like Super Junior anywhere to the extent that I like them now, for sure. He pretty much just wins at life in every way imaginable. He's incredibly witty, blunt, and sarcastic. However, even though he does seem harsh, he's really caring when it comes to his members and people in general. (Eg. When Hangeng was made fun of for being Chinese by some students, he went after them despite the fact that it was bad for his image)
He's pretty concerned about how he presents himself, although it's impossible to tell. When coming back from the Funeral of Donghae's dad in 2006, he got into a car accident. However, despite the fact that he fractured his leg in 5 places, he was so concerned about not fainting in front of the cameras that he bit his tongue so hard that stitches were required. (An iron rod later had to be put into his leg)
Sucks at dancing, but he still manages to memorize routines of other groups and do lulzy impressions of them. Has a cat named Heebum. Originally intended to be an actor, but then ended up in Super Junior. Resented the fact that he got stuck in Super Junior until he saw the dedication and effort from the rest of the members. Really likes writing poems and fairytales. Since he didn't like the fact that people borrowed his clothes when he was younger, he dresses oddly. Is into Japanese Music like Gackt and dir en grey. Is also known as Heesica and Heenim among fans.
Hangeng/Hankyung
Nickname: Beijing Fried Rice
Born: 2/9/1984
Birthplace: Mudanjiang, Heilongjiang, China
Height: 181cm
Weight: 66kg
Sign: Aquarius
Blood Type: B
Occupation(s): Singer, dancer, actor, model
Instrument(s): Singing, piano
Voice type: Tenor
Years active: 2005–present
Knows Korean rather well, although he pretends not to when he's faced with unfavourable circumstances. A complete sweetheart. Is supposedly really good at cooking Bejing Fried Rice (Hence the nickname). Serious model son material, seeing how sends them money, keeps in contact with them quite frequently, and brings them up a lot in conversations. Well versed in both traditional Chinese Dances and Martial Arts.
Was recruited by SM Entertainment back in 2002, as the sole person to pass an audition of about 3000 people in China. Since his family was poor, he left for Korea on a Vacation Visa without asking them for money. Several Months after debut, being the first Chinese person to debut in Korea, he and SM Entertainment weren't aware of the fact that there were laws in place that dictated that his Visa was invalid. And as such, he wasn't able to perform until he did have a valid Visa.
Since he was worried that his absence in performances would drag down the group, he offered to wear a mask and hat when they performed live, so that people wouldn't be aware of his identity. Because of this, and the fact that the other members had to lipsync his lines in his place, people assumed that he was a back-up dancer.
Heechul, who hated to see Hangeng be in that kind of position, one day pushed him to the front during one of their performances, and removed his mask. Since then, he was able to perform without a mask, his Visa problems were eventually solved, and the laws were abolished in 2008.

Out of all the members in the group, this guy's voice is by far my favourite, although Kyuhyun is a close second. Anyway, he's a bit fail. He tries too hard at everything, which is kind of endearing, and usually rather entertaining. He also has this habit of complaining about not getting enough screentime, lol. He's rather strange, and has a lot of peculiar habits, like coming into the rooms of his fellow members at night to touch their lips. He's a total creeper, haha. His hands are freakishly small. He has pet turtle that he bought because he was jealous of the fact that Heechul has a cat. The reason he ended up auditioning for Super Junior was because of his mother, who filled an application for him online without his knowledge.
Kangin:
Birth Name: Kim Youngwoon

This guy is a loudmouth. He talks a lot, and generally the member who ends up divulging more information than he probably should about his fellow members. He has a stereotypical macho guy sort of air to him. Known for frequently swearing and drinking. He calls himself "Korea's number one handsome guy". His personality is pretty in your face, so it's hard not to notice him. Before he debuted in Super Junior, he and Heechul were in a project group along with DBSK's Yunho and Jaejoong called Four Seasons. Eventually the idea was scrapped, once Yunho and Jaejoong were picked to be members of DBSK.
Shindong:
Birth Name: Shin Dong-hee (신동희/申東熙)

Occupation(s): Singer, dancer, actor, radio host, MC
Instrument(s): Singing, rapping, beatboxing, piano, guitar
Voice type: Bass
Years active: 2005–present
To be honest, I don't really know much about Shindong compared to the other members, except for the fact that he sleeps naked. And that he sometimes webcams with his other members from his bed while naked. LOL IDK WHY I REMEMBER THAT. He used to get criticized a lot for not fitting the typical "slim" idol look. Along with Eunhyuk, he's the other rapper of the group. He's also a pretty good dancer, and helped choreograph Don't Don. He's good at doing gags and that sort of thing.
Sungmin

Bias number two, after Heechul. He was originally meant to debut in an R&B group along with Eunhyuk and DBSK's Junsu, but the idea was scrapped once Junsu joined DBSK. He's rather manipulative about his image, and will act painfully cute whenever it favours him. Supposedly, the more drunk he is, the more cute he gets. He REALLY enjoys the colour pink. At one point, he even had pink hair, which was a look that I hope never re-emerges. Like Hangeng, he's also trained in Martial Arts. He's known for giving good massages, and for having a way with women. Wears a ring on his pinky finger that he has since he was little.
Eunhyuk:
Birth Name: Lee Hyukjae (이혁재/李赫宰)
Nickname(s): Jewel Guy (보석미남), Monkey (from Zodiac)

Years active: 2005–present
This guy is ridiculously cute. He has a bit of a naive personality, and he getting pranked a lot by his fellow members for being so gullible. The best dancer in Super Junior, and the main rapper. Auditioned for SM Entertainment along with DBSK's Junsu, but didn't make it until he auditioned again the next year. According to his fellow members, he has a very..."distinct" odour. He's a bit of a neat freak and even keeps his shoelifts all organized in some shoebox. He cries easily.
Along with Leeteuk, he DJs Sukira Kiss the Radio.
Donghae
Birth Name: Lee Donghae (이동해/李東海)
Nickname: Fishy, Donghae Bada (동해바다, East Sea), Pinocchio (Heechul's nickname for him), Dorobbong, Tiger (from the Zodiac)

Voice type: Tenor
Blood Type: O
Years active: 2005–present
For some reason, everyone loves this guy. Honestly, I have not met a person yet who doesn't seem to have some sort of bias for Donghae. IMO, he's probably one of the best dancers in Super Junior, aside from Eunhyuk. Personally, I find that he has a bit of a childlike mentality, or an "innocence" to him. He's a bit of a romantic, and was voted by his fellow members to be the "Casanova" of Super Junior. Is known for having "cursed hands" that causes objects to break after they are touched by them.
Donghae auditioned for SM Entertainment in order to fulfil his dad's wish of having him be a singer. During training, Donghae was away from his father for about 6 years. When he finally returned with his first paycheck, his father had passed away from Cancer. Now, he continues as a singer in order to keep his father's dream alive.

Known by the moniker Shisus for being extremely religious and constantly bringing up references to Christianity. Also known as Shibrows for having intense eyebrows. Has a tendency to use overly exaggerated hand gestures and make unintentionally lulzy facial expressions. Is very gentlemanly in nature. He is very touchy-feely and affectionate around the other members.
When he was first scouted in 2003, his parents disapproved of him going into the entertainment industry. Eventually, they allowed him, but his father refused to provide him any aid as a singer.
Ryeowook:
Birth Name: Kim Ryeowook (김려욱/金麗旭)
Nickname: Eternal Magnae
Born: 6/21/1987
Birthplace: Incheon, South Korea

Occupation(s): Singer-songwriter, dancer, actor
Instrument(s): Singing, piano
Height: 173cm
Weight: 58 kg
Voice type: Tenor
Years active: 2005–present
I'm a firm believer in the idea that Ryeowook should do more variety shows and whatnot, because I find everything he does is unintentionally hilarious. Even his face is hilarious, with those intimidating MJ-esque cheekbones of his. Anyway. Although he gives off a rather innocent image, he is supposedly the 4th heaviest drinker in Super Junior, and 2nd craziest, after Kangin. He enjoys pulling pranks on the other members. For instance, on one occasion, he told Eunhyuk's parents that Eunhyuk had brought home a girlfriend for the night. He likes collecting makeup samples, lol. He often cooks for the other members, and pesters them to eat more food.
Kibum:
Birth Name: Kim Kibum (김기범/金基范)
Nickname: Snow White
Born: 08/21/1987
Birthplace: Seoul, South Korea
Height: 179cm
Weight: 58kg
Sign: Leo
Blood Type: A
Occupation(s): Singer, dancer, actor, model
Instrument(s): Singing, rapping, piano
Voice type: Bass
Years active: 2004–present
There isn't really much I can say about Kibum, lol. He's been missing in action for a while now, because of the fact that he's filming for a movie. He's a serious sort of person, and generally doesn't talk much in interviews and that sort of thing when he is around.
Kyuhyun:
Birth Name: Cho Kyuhyun (조규현/趙奎賢)
Born: 02/03/1988
Birthplace: Seoul, South Korea
Genre(s): Pop, dance, R&B
Occupation(s): Singer, dancer
Instrument(s): Singing, piano, clarinet
Height: 180cm
Weight: 63 kg
Voice type: Bass
Years active: 2006–present
Kyuhyun is essentially the snarky bitch of Super Junior, despite the fact that he is the youngest member. He's incredibly clever, and is a bit of a gaming nerd. He rather enjoys playing Starcraft, hence the reason he is sometimes also known as "Gamekyu". Whenever fans send him messages, he usually responses with something blunt and hilarious.
In 2007, on April 19th, on the way back from Sukira Kiss The Radio, Kyuhyun, Eunhyuk, Leeteuk, Shindong and two managers got into a car accident when the driver lost control of the vehicle. While Shindong and Eunhyuk were not too badly hurt, both Leeteuk and Kyuhyun were severely injured. Kyuhyun was placed in critical care with a fractured hip, fractured ribs, and facial scratches and bruises, slipping in and out of consciousness. Luckily, after a month, he was able to regain the ability to walk, and after 78 days, he was able to leave the hospital.
Singles (In order of Recentness):
*Not all of them, since I'm too lazy for that, but most of them.
It's You:
A Live Performance
Sorry Sorry:
Um. Since I'm petty and really hate Sungmin's hairstyle in the MV, you can just have this live performance, haha.
Music Video // Another Live Performance that I like a tad better
Don't Don (돈 돈 in Korean, which means Money Money):
This is personally my favourite song by them, back when they were going through this ~hardcore~ phase.
U:
Ignore the crappy computer generated effects :D
행복/Haengbok/Happiness:
This is actually a cover of a song by H.O.T for side project sort of thing, but I like the video for this better than the one for their song Miracle. Besides, this one actually bothers to label the members.
Twins (Knock Out):
OH GOD THIS VIDEO. SO MUCH BAD HAIR. Honestly, this music video makes me suffer from secondhand embarrassment, but it's their debut single, so I can't really not post it, lol.
Some videos worth watching:
• Super Junior Full House - A show where Super Junior does a homestay for these two female international students for like three months, and you get to watch them speak really fail and lulzy english. A really good introduction to most of the members. The first episode can be found here.
• Explorers of The Human Body - Out of all the shows they've done, this one is personally my favourite, since it's educational and entertaining, and just epic in general. You can watch them on Youtube on this channel.
• Intimate Note - IDK. I can't explain. Just watch. It wins. The first episode can be found here.
• Super Junior T Idolworld - I don't really want to get into Subgroups and whatnot, but this is just worth watching. The first episode can be found here.
• Super Junior Mini Drama - Basically where the members create and act out dramas full of fanservice in a competition typed thing. Yes, my summaries really suck. The first episode can be found here.
And um yeah, that's it for now because this post is already getting long enough as it is. Have some laughing Leeteuk.
So, I'm sorry that I evidently fail by posting this two days later than I said I would, but at least I have it done, haha? Anyway, I'll also apologize right now for the fact that this is also a complete mess xD
As for my f-list, feel free to ignore this, since I'm pretty sure most of you are either well acquainted with Super Junior, or um, don't really care, lol. And I also make zero claims here to accuracy since I'm kind of sleep deprived at the moment.

This guy is ridiculously cute. He has a bit of a naive personality, and he getting pranked a lot by his fellow members for being so gullible. The best dancer in Super Junior, and the main rapper. Auditioned for SM Entertainment along with DBSK's Junsu, but didn't make it until he auditioned again the next year. According to his fellow members, he has a very..."distinct" odour. He's a bit of a neat freak and even keeps his shoelifts all organized in some shoebox. He cries easily.
Along with Leeteuk, he DJs Sukira Kiss the Radio.

For some reason, everyone loves this guy. Honestly, I have not met a person yet who doesn't seem to have some sort of bias for Donghae. IMO, he's probably one of the best dancers in Super Junior, aside from Eunhyuk. Personally, I find that he has a bit of a childlike mentality, or an "innocence" to him. He's a bit of a romantic, and was voted by his fellow members to be the "Casanova" of Super Junior. Is known for having "cursed hands" that causes objects to break after they are touched by them.
Donghae auditioned for SM Entertainment in order to fulfil his dad's wish of having him be a singer. During training, Donghae was away from his father for about 6 years. When he finally returned with his first paycheck, his father had passed away from Cancer. Now, he continues as a singer in order to keep his father's dream alive.

Known by the moniker Shisus for being extremely religious and constantly bringing up references to Christianity. Also known as Shibrows for having intense eyebrows. Has a tendency to use overly exaggerated hand gestures and make unintentionally lulzy facial expressions. Is very gentlemanly in nature. He is very touchy-feely and affectionate around the other members.
When he was first scouted in 2003, his parents disapproved of him going into the entertainment industry. Eventually, they allowed him, but his father refused to provide him any aid as a singer.

I'm a firm believer in the idea that Ryeowook should do more variety shows and whatnot, because I find everything he does is unintentionally hilarious. Even his face is hilarious, with those intimidating MJ-esque cheekbones of his. Anyway. Although he gives off a rather innocent image, he is supposedly the 4th heaviest drinker in Super Junior, and 2nd craziest, after Kangin. He enjoys pulling pranks on the other members. For instance, on one occasion, he told Eunhyuk's parents that Eunhyuk had brought home a girlfriend for the night. He likes collecting makeup samples, lol. He often cooks for the other members, and pesters them to eat more food.

There isn't really much I can say about Kibum, lol. He's been missing in action for a while now, because of the fact that he's filming for a movie. He's a serious sort of person, and generally doesn't talk much in interviews and that sort of thing when he is around.
Kyuhyun:

Kyuhyun is essentially the snarky bitch of Super Junior, despite the fact that he is the youngest member. He's incredibly clever, and is a bit of a gaming nerd. He rather enjoys playing Starcraft, hence the reason he is sometimes also known as "Gamekyu". Whenever fans send him messages, he usually responses with something blunt and hilarious.
In 2007, on April 19th, on the way back from Sukira Kiss The Radio, Kyuhyun, Eunhyuk, Leeteuk, Shindong and two managers got into a car accident when the driver lost control of the vehicle. While Shindong and Eunhyuk were not too badly hurt, both Leeteuk and Kyuhyun were severely injured. Kyuhyun was placed in critical care with a fractured hip, fractured ribs, and facial scratches and bruises, slipping in and out of consciousness. Luckily, after a month, he was able to regain the ability to walk, and after 78 days, he was able to leave the hospital.
Singles (In order of Recentness):
*Not all of them, since I'm too lazy for that, but most of them.
It's You:
A Live Performance
Sorry Sorry:
Um. Since I'm petty and really hate Sungmin's hairstyle in the MV, you can just have this live performance, haha.
Music Video // Another Live Performance that I like a tad better
Don't Don (돈 돈 in Korean, which means Money Money):
This is personally my favourite song by them, back when they were going through this ~hardcore~ phase.
U:
Ignore the crappy computer generated effects :D
행복/Haengbok/Happiness:
This is actually a cover of a song by H.O.T for side project sort of thing, but I like the video for this better than the one for their song Miracle. Besides, this one actually bothers to label the members.
Twins (Knock Out):
OH GOD THIS VIDEO. SO MUCH BAD HAIR. Honestly, this music video makes me suffer from secondhand embarrassment, but it's their debut single, so I can't really not post it, lol.
Some videos worth watching:
• Super Junior Full House - A show where Super Junior does a homestay for these two female international students for like three months, and you get to watch them speak really fail and lulzy english. A really good introduction to most of the members. The first episode can be found here.
• Explorers of The Human Body - Out of all the shows they've done, this one is personally my favourite, since it's educational and entertaining, and just epic in general. You can watch them on Youtube on this channel.
• Intimate Note - IDK. I can't explain. Just watch. It wins. The first episode can be found here.
• Super Junior T Idolworld - I don't really want to get into Subgroups and whatnot, but this is just worth watching. The first episode can be found here.
• Super Junior Mini Drama - Basically where the members create and act out dramas full of fanservice in a competition typed thing. Yes, my summaries really suck. The first episode can be found here.
And um yeah, that's it for now because this post is already getting long enough as it is. Have some laughing Leeteuk.
