At 3AM this morning (September 16, 2009), Kangin was caught in the middle of a fist-fight in a bar / small pub in Gangnam. There were 3 other people involved in the fight. Kangin was then brought to the local police station for further questioning. There have been lots of contradicting articles posted on the net. Some point their finger at Kangin for being involved in the actual fight while others claim he was nothing but a victim.

Official statements from both the police officers and SM entertainment have been released regarding this matter. A representative from SM Ent. denies the rumor by saying that even though he was present at the scene, Kangin is innocent.

Having said that, charges are said to have been pressed against him. The fact that he WAS in a bar at 3AM doesn’t really help and we all know he has quite a temper.

On the bright side, according to MaxMovie, the Gangnam’s police stated, “The fact that Kangin was in the assault is true. But he did not hit anyone, instead, he was the one who got attacked, therefore he was the victim.”

It is probably too early to draw a conclusion concerning his involvement in this case, but we will keep an eye on any further news and updates. Some sources say a press conference will soon be held to clarify this issue.

We hope for the best as we don’t want anything bad happen to him, especially since Super Show II and Asia Song Festival is just a few days away.

• Why I love Super Junior? I wasn’t into K-Pop when Super Junior debuted, I started noticing them only after they released Sorry Sorry (in my opinion, THE song that shot them to superstardom and got them where they are right now). My first impression of them was “Why so many members?” and “What’s with the haircut?” While watching EHB, it was then when I realized that these boys began to grow on me. They have a nonchalant approach to fame and they don’t take themselves too seriously, that’s a quality I rarely find in other K-Pop groups. I realize in Korean entertainment world, idol images are shaped and they have to maintain that, but every so often, with SJ members, their real personalities appear in interviews, variety shows, radio broadcasts and especially Super Show. They way they interact with each other make me feel like I’m watching the boys-next-door, approachable, funny, dorky and humble. I guess that imperfection shows that they are real and relatable.
  
  Why I love TwELFs and SPL? When I first started collecting information about Super Junior, I stumbled upon several fanbases, but TwELFs stood out to my attention immediately for several reasons: quality content, good English, pleasing to the eyes & easy to navigate.Like any other new converts, I joined in the fandom bandwagon and participated with gusto especially on Trending Topic projects. I was surprised to know that TwELFs founders were still in college, because they ran a tight ship with the blog and Twitter account. I was even more pleasantly surprised when I communicated via Twitter with the founders, because they were so friendly and unpretentious. TwELFs blog has meaty content without sacrificing entertainment value. It is informational without sounding too serious and at the same time, provides all the fun tidbits for fans –newly minted or veteran.
  
  SPL is oozing with creativity (e.g. forum members referred to as Students and Super Junior members as Professors!) and over a short period of time has gained the reputation of being one of the most acclaimed international forums for ELFs. SPL keeps making changes for the better and continues to carry out credible projects for Super Junior and ELFs. SPL is a labor of love, and I salute the people behind it, who are such dedicated hard-workers.
