Super Junior’s Kim Heechul gave a speech to more than 300 students in his alma mater.

On the 30th, Kim Heechul’s assistant disclosed that Heechul visited Sang Ji University on the 29th and interacted with its current students. In 2008, Kim Heechul graduated from Sang Ji University, majoring in Computer Information. Later, he was invited to give a speech on ‘topics of graduates’.

Heechul’s assistant told the reporter from MT Starnews that, “around 300 students filled the first and second levels of the theater. Due to the lack of seats, there were students standing throughout the speech. Their responses were great.”

Further added that “Some students were diligently taking down notes on what Senior Kim Heechul had shared. There was even an exchange student from China.” “Heard that the Chinese student is a big fan of Heechul, therefore coming all the way to his alma mater, Sang Ji University to study.”

According to the assistant, Kim Heechul displayed humor and enthusiasm throughout the 1 hour speech. Heechul also shared his life stories with the students, starting from his childhood to student and also his life as a celebrity.

That day, Kim Heechul advised his juniors “never look upon the people around you as competitors, you are your own rival.” “Discard the thinking of winning others. You must be confident and live freely, abandoning all arrogance and supremacy”. After the session, Heechul stated that “didn’t know that time’s already up, feels like I have a lot to learn instead.” “This was a truly meaningful experience.”

Super Junior member Leeteuk has revealed a little story regarding his stage name.

Leeteuk has appeared on the SBS Chuseok Special “Star Real Video” on the 21st, on the show he revealed “My initial stage name was not Leeteuk”.

He said “My initial stage name was Kangsu. Just like the meaning behind the name Kangta was ‘The slugger* of the music industry’, the meaning behind the name Junjin was ‘The advancer of the music industry’, the meaning behind the name Hyesung was ‘The comet of the music industry’, etc.”, “Lee Soo Man representative said that now ‘You have to become the strong competitor of the music industry’ which was the meaning of the name that he has initially given me, Kangsu.

Leeteuk said “I wanted a more concise name, thus I went to apply to change for another name. After a few days, I had a second stage name ‘Shin Lee’. When I asked for the meaning behind that name, he answered ‘a certain deity who has came down to the earth’. I felt that it was too womanlike thus I went to apply to change my name again and I was finally given the name Leeteuk. Lee Soo Man representative said that the meaning behind that name was ‘You are a special guy’”. Leeteuk’s words have made everyone around him to burst out into laughter.

Guests who had appeared on this week’s show includes Park Hyunbin, Jung Juri, Sungmin, Luna, Key, Hwang Kwanghee, etc.

Worthy of the name of ‘Korea’s Best Boy Band’, specializing in all 18 arts of variety. Full of ‘points’, with accurate all-kill skills, the Super Show-hand which had no boredom for three hours straight!

In a sea of sapphire blue light, performing in the Seoul Olympic Stadium, Super Junior started their concert with their hit song ‘Sorry Sorry’ among blasts of fireworks on a unique stage, blinding the eyes of all that were watching!

Members took turns hanging from metal wires five yards above the air, and when they were performing ‘No Other’, Leeteuk and Sungmin flew into the air amidst spurts of bright fireworks and moved to the center of the stage to throw flowers and confetti at their fans, and even before the fireworks were over, the pretty boys floated around like angels appearing out of nowhere.

Besides the extended stage that allowed the boys to get closer to their fans, the stage directors Shindong and Eunhyuk designed countless stages using the elevator that brought them up to the stage, making them ‘appear out of nowhere’, as well as riding around in carts to interact with their fans, these ideas making it so that there was no awkwardness whatsoever within the first half hour of the starting of the show. The 10 boys who were full of ‘dance’* power did not forget about their personal talents, with Heechul banging on his drums and Sungmin playing the guitar, they put their entire heart into performing their 34 songs, proving the fact that they indeed are idol singers.

*A Cantonese pun; it doesn’t make sense when translated into English.


Laughing point! Super Hilarious!

Seeing the members work to make everyone laugh is a sure hit of their concert. Last time, they danced ‘Gee’ and that wasn’t even enough, this time they just decided to play it big and transform into Beyonce and Lady Gaga! Heechul, who is known for his determination and slogan of ‘If I do it, I might as well do it to the best of my ability’ completely changed into Lady Gaga, with the fishnet tights and fiery red lipstick- the best thing was, he looked even better than the original! Compared to the beauty of ‘Lady Heehee’, Shindong’s ‘Shinyonce’ won the laughter of the fans, working with Eunhyuk and Donghae and their exaggerated M-shaped leg movements, they caused their entire stadium burst out into laugher. The colourful variety did not just end there, as the trot-specializing Super Junior T sang their new song ‘Tok Tok Tok’ (Knock Knock Knock) and made everyone laugh until they had no air left. The idols seemed to throw their image away and made everyone laugh, and afterwards they put on a performance of ‘The Terminator’ and ‘Ninja Assassin’, extending the laughter coming from their fans. The funniest part of the show was definitely the ‘fruit basket’, where the 10 boys appeared dressed up as vegetables, and upon seeing the pretty boys dressed up as life-sized bean sprouts, chillies, grapes, onions, and more, it was definitely a new sight to see. The members who reached the high point of their concert with their fans gave it their all on the stage, joking around with each other, spraying dry ice, and attacking each other with water, exposing their playful sides and their brotherly bonds, bringing warmth within explosive laughter.


Crying point! Super touching!

Kangin entered the army in July because of his drunk driving incident, Super Junior especially designed a stage using 3D technology to have a ‘reunion’ with him. In the video message*, it showed leader Leeteuk crying while declaring that he would protect everyone as they waited for Kangin to return from the army. At this moment, there was a crying noise, and looking back, the ELF (Super Junior’s fanclub) were already streaming tears to make a river. This type of crying, it is seriously no lie.

*There was actually a song title, but I didn’t know how to translate it into either romanized Korean or English.

After the sad moment, Super Junior KRY’s best singers Kyuhyun, Ryeowook, and Yesung once again drew out their talent – R&B method of luring tears out, the princes of romance’s soothing voice entering the ear and shaking the heart; Yesung who had been chosen by SM Entertainment as the best singer in Super Junior sang his OST ‘It Has To Be You’, showcasing his sturdy singing skills, and ‘Little Prince of Singing’ Kyuhyun, who was all dressed up in a suit, and Ryeowook with a high-pitched but soothing voice performed as well.


Exposing point! Super sexy!

Summer has arrived again, besides the heavy-bodied Shindong who isn’t in a position to showcase his body, the other nine boys let their fans have a large serving of ice cream. Of course, there was definitely Siwon who claims ownership of the best body. The entire point of the stage outfits was to let the fans have their money’s worth of looking, and Siwon showed off his tight abs and chiseled stomach muscles, presenting a gift of chocolate abs to the fans, as well as swelling chest muscles, and even causing a ripple effect when he ripped his shirt off his back. It was definitely something worth seeing*, and the girl fans who watched until the blood was pulsing through their veins and they nearly contracted nosebleeds’ heart rates definitely rose to above 100 beats per minute. ‘Dancing machine’ Eunhyuk and ‘pretty boy’ Donghae did not lose in any of the action, fighting for a girl onstage, with an explosion of manliness and sexiness. Even Sungmin who is a little more feminine let out an explosion of manliness, under the direction of leader Leeteuk, he performed a sexy dance with four female dancers onstage, with the hardly-seen man power all onstage. Leeteuk’s body isn’t as good as the other members’, and he who was wearing a wife beater onstage showed his muscles and bare back while sending looks at the fans, using his expressions to catch others’ attention, he is definitely the group’s leader!

*Cantonese pun inserted here; it doesn’t make sense when translated into English.


Oops! The imperfectness in the perfectness!

When they were singing ‘A Man In Love’ at the end of the concert, Siwon who is the most fit began to take off his clothes, working hard to be the most handsome he could be, when sudddenly, the elevator ‘suddenly’ began to descent, and Siwon tripped over the small gap and twisted his ankle; however, he withstood the pain, stood up, and continued to perform. Ouch! On another hand, another member, Sungmin, also got his shoe stuck in the elevator, and as a result he had to take it off and walk around with only one shoe on. Eunhyuk who saw the situation quickly ran over to help, and used all of his strength to pull the shoe out, points added for that!


During the press conference cute lunchboxes were provided, as well as cookies, cakes, and fruit baskets. The charisma of Super Junior is unstoppable, attracting millions of international fans to watch their concert. The ‘luggage safe’ outside the concert venue allowed fans from overseas to dump their luggage right away and rush to go watch the concert.

• 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.
