I’m two days late, but whatever! Super Junior M (unofficially known as Super Junior China) debuted on April 8. The sub group consists of five existing SUJU members Siwon, Hankyung, Kyuhyun, Donghae and Ryeowook, and two other SM entertainers, Henry (Lau) and Zhoumi. Personally, I think Henry looks really cute in this picture except for his low pants. He’s already the shortest member, do they need to make him look more stumpy? Stupid wardrobe stylist. I hope SM doesn’t make Henry cut up his his face, like Hee Chul. Talk about a bad (and unoriginal…remember Bin?) excuse. As if everyone who falls down needs plastic surgery. Even though Koreans highly value education, I wonder what the quality is at some institutions for such stupidity to exist AND BE ACCEPTED. Moving along…here’s the picture.

E.L.F. Demands Ignored

For quite some time I wondered what SM Entertainment thought of all the E.L.F. protests. Well, I don’t have to wonder anymore. They have released a message recently with regards to the protests from E.L.F. members who have made four demands. I actually thought it was quite hilarious and a slap in the face for these fans. I am all for protesting and free speech, but choose wisely because frivolous issues like an additional member to an already crowded group just makes free speech look like a joke.

E.L.F. Demands:

  1. That SM Entertainment withdraws its plan on a Super Junior China unit.
  2. That SM Entertainment officially announces that it will not remove any member from the group or add a new one in the group.
  3. That SM Entertainment apologizes to Super Junior fans and people in general for releasing the concept that Super Junior is just a project group.
  4. That SM Entertainment apologizes to Super Junior’s fan club E.L.F. for the mental/emotional strain the issues have caused them.

I don’t even know what emotional strain they are talking about since their actions don’t really scream normal. I’m sure if you asked the majority of SUJU fans around the world, they are more stressed out by these E.L.F. members than they are about the sub-groups of SUJU that are forming.
