I was not going to post anything today because I should be studying right now (Probably, I will keep restating the fact that my exams are going on until they are over) but I was reading some article on allkpop. I have a habit of reading the comments to know what (and how) people think. Someone was asking about joining ELFs (SuJu’s official fanclub. If you are a fan, you already would know but even so) Suddenly, I came across a comment stating that people are leaving ELF because of the talks of adding two members of Super Junior-M, Henry and Zhoumi, to Super Junior itself. I knew, people are not happy about it. And, yes I know ELFs in Korea protested against this when the proposal was put forward.
I seriously fail to understand why people are so against it. Both of them are hardworking and I think, they are receiving their training in South Korea itself (I remember hearing that in one of their interviews). Yeah, people got hurt because of what Hangeng did. But he must have had his reasons too. He had problems with SM Entertainment not SuJu. Media says whatever it wants (And I think that’s the case everywhere. They just need a story and they’ll put all spices to give it totally different direction). And it’s not like such kind of thing happened for the first time. I’m not pointing anybody’s faults out but what the true story behind all this ‘Hangeng leaving the company like that’ is, that him, SM Entertainment and God only know. It’s not necessary these two will do the same thing.
Coming to my main point, Super Junior-M is very famous (may be not as much as SuJu). I love their songs too and I know many of the people who are going mad about the whole report, too. Only problem is accepting them in the main group. It’s not easy to leave one’s own country, own home and work at some place where you don’t even have a promised future (That’s what I feel about entertainers, not talking about SuJu in particular, it all depends on audience’s minds. And trust me, being a girl who has been living away from home in the same country itself for 3 years now, even if it’s for college, I know the feeling. For them, it’s ANOTHER COUNTRY!). They are human beings too. They feel hurt too. I mean if I were them, I would feel bad. SuJu was criticized after Kyuhyun joined the team too but the results were awesome. Now Kyuhyun is one of the lead vocals (and he is no. 1 for me in SuJu, what they call bias?). I mean come on, Super Junior was a project team from the start. Members were to be rotated after all. (Yeah, I would have been against this idea. They did good job making the group and members permanent.) But if there is addition to fill the empty spots, why not embrace the idea? And now every year, one or the other member is enlisting for army, the group feels incomplete!
PS – These are merely my thoughts. No offense to anyone. And if I hurt someone’s feelings I’m sorry. But I sincerely think I am free to express myself and it’s not bad to give them a chance.
Latest song from Super Junior – M – Break Down (Korean version):
