PART II


SUPER JUNIOR-M

Super Junior-M, often referred to as SJ-M, is the third official sub-unit of Korean boy band Super Junior. They are the first international music group in the Chinese music industry to have members of both Chinese and Korean descent.Super Junior-M consists of five Super Junior members – Han Geng, Siwon, Donghae, Ryeowook, and Kyuhyun. Henry Lau and Zhou Mi are the only two members in the group who are not part of Super Junior.
Super Junior-M debuted in China on April 8, 2008 at the 8th Annual Music Chart Awards and with the release of their first music video, "U" online.

Super Junior-M's goal is to bring the Korean pop influence over to the Chinese market, re-representing the hits in Mandarin.Similar to the style of their main group Super Junior, Super Junior-M's music style falls into the category of mainstream pop, dance, and R&B. Dance pop songs with rock and hip hop influences are easily heard in their music, such as in "Me" and "The Moment".

After the first announcement of Super Junior-M on October 2, 2007, and the possibility of adding a non-Super Junior member, Henry, to the main group, Super Junior fans immediately voiced out their dissatisfaction and opposition. Immediately, a website was built, called "Only 13", to oppose against SM Entertainment's actions.
Initially fans were planning to boycott the company's products, similar to the actions taken by fans of TVXQ in the past. However, most fans agreed on a silent protest instead. On October 21, 2007 and throughout the week, over 400 fans from Super Junior's official fanclub, E.L.F, silently sat in front of the SM building and held signs that supported the group to have only thirteen members.
After more rumors leaked of SM Entertainment sneaking in an extra non-Super Junior member,  the fans decided to gain this chance to have a legal representation as part of SM Entertainment's stockholders. As of March 20, 2008, Super Junior fans from all over the world purchased 58,206 stocks of SM Entertainment, holding 0.3% of the company's entire stock.They released a statement through the media, stating that they will obtain all chances to prevent SM Entertainment from adding new members and to keep Super Junior as only thirteen.

Personally,I think that that is the line between  a normal fan and a fanatic.Althought I think that the korean fans are overly obsessed with the idols.

SUPER JUNIOR -HAPPY

   Super Junior-Happy  is the fourth official sub-unit of Korean boy band Super Junior. Super Junior-Happy contains six Super Junior members, Leeteuk , Yesung, Kang-in, Shindong, Sungmin, and Eunhyuk.Super Junior-Happy consists of every previous member from Super Junior-T except Heechul, who is replaced by Yesung. 
   Super Junior-Happy's music style involves the common style of contemporary dance music and bubblegum pop, mainly targeting the music industry with their fun and entertaining style.
  Super Junior-Happy debuted on June 7, 2008, performing their first single, "Cooking? Cooking!" at the 2008 Dream Concert.

As a whole, Super Junior has released four studio albums and one physical single, including occasional contributions to drama soundtracks.Super Junior are known for doing performances that are heavily centered around their choreography, and are acclaimed for their highly synchronized dances. 

Since debut, SM Entertainment has created four subgroups for Super Junior. Every member was put into different subgroups excluding Kibum, due to his busy acting schedule. The intentions of the subgroups were part of SM's strategy to not limit Super Junior's activities, and the goal was to show that the group could accommodate different musical genres.

Being amongst the most vocally powerful members of the group, Super Junior-K.R.Y are credited to singing mournful, R&B-style ballads. Unlike Super Junior's other subgroups, Super Junior-K.R.Y has not officially released a single or album, and only participated in collaboration albums and original soundtracks. 

SUPER JUNIOR-T
