This is like a SUPER long interview of the boys, but it’s so worth the time to read through it. The whole thing is just so touching and gosh, I love the boys so much ♥♥♥♥♥.
Super Junior | Super Junior, Reveal Your True Identity
MBC’s “Radio Star” talked with 4/9 of Girls Generation; 10 Asia met with 6/13 of Super Junior. Both are groups that one can actually use the terms “4/9″ and “6/13″ to refer to. Yoona began acting before debuting with Girls Generation and Super Junior created units like K.R.Y. that are composed of only a few members. As if Girls Generation and Super Junior were office workers in a company, they each do activities as MC’s, solo artists, and actors. Ryeowook, who says he has participated in every Super Junior [main group] performance, has performed on “a stage with only 8 of the members,” and Kibum has been unable to participate in this 3rd album’s promotions because of separate activities. In places where these 3rd generation idols are doing individual rather than group activities, they mention their groups’ names often, like “Super Junior’s Kangin.” They have clearly shown that they are being marketed as entertainers rather than just idol singers, and ever since, the management of idol stars in the music world has definitely changed.
