Caught in assault and DUI controversies just last year, it is known that KangIn will not take part in Super Junior’s upcoming 4th album. After the assault and DUI cases last October, KangIn has been exercising self-discipline, and now it is said that there are plans for him to enter the army and he will be excluded for the upcoming 4th album activities.
A SM Ent rep voiced, “KangIn told the company that he wants to enter the army, and the company respects and supports. With that, he will not take part in Super Junior 4th album activities. He will enter as active service level 2. The period of his enlistment has not been confirmed yet but we will reveal it once it is confirmed.”

Super Junior is coming back with their 4jib album. Super Junior will release the 4th album on the 13th.
Last year Super Junior sold 250,000 albums with their “Sorry Sorry” syndrome when they made their comeback in a year and a half. They were the king of the album sales, and not just Korea, but topped all Asia’s charts with “sorry sorry” syndrome.
To add on, “Sorry Sorry” was Asia’s Most Famous Song by Thailand’s Channel V, along with being on top for 34 weeks in Taiwan’s online music site ezpeer, making new records all over the Asia. Their Second Asia Tour “SuperShow2” was held starting in Seoul, BeiJing, ShangHai, HongKong, BangKok, TaiPei, NanJing, Kuala Lampur, Manila, and others in total of 9 cities in 15 shows with 200,000 audiences. They showed the ticket power as Asia’s super star.
Super Junior, who has topped 2009 in Asia like this, is showing a new determination to bring a new style of music and performance through 4jib, once again topping Asia in 2010.
Also in this album, except for KangIn, who is planning to go to army, Kibum, focusing on acting career, and HanGeng, currently in law suit, in total of 10 members will be part of 4jib, and the album activities will be around 10 members only.
Super Junior said “We felt pressured after 3jib’s big success, but as the time to reveal came near we got more confident. Please look forward to the new stage of Super Junior’s music and performance.” They also added “as KangIn is preparing for army, we hope that he has a good army life. Also for KiBum, we hope that he becomes better actor as he’s focusing on his acting. For HanGeng, we can’t even get in contact with him, so it’s really sad. Hope he comes back as soon as possible to be with us.” They showed their feelings about members who couldn’t participate with the new album.

Following their debut with 12 members, one additional member was introduced a year later to complete the group and have since formed 4 sub-groups.

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.
