Credited as the largest boy band in the world, the Korean pop boy band Super Junior is also a major icon in Asian pop scene. With its bestselling third album Sorry, Sorry, conquered the charts of several Asian countries especially in Thailand, Taipei, China, and Japan.
The boy band, which is nicknamed by fans as SuJu or SJ, earned such popularity with their assorted sleek urban ballads and dance floor hits. Many people appreciate the boy band's kinds of music because of their swoon-worthy and mature style. Moreover, SJ is also praised for their unrelenting R&B grooves, and of course, their smooth productions.
This world's largest non-conventional boy band is composed of thirteen amazing members, namely: Donghae, Eunhyuk, Han Geng (a Chinese), Heechul, Kang-in, Kibum, Kyuhyun (the most recently added to the group), Leeteuk, Ryeowook, Shindong, Siwon, Sungmin, and Yesung. The group was formed by SM Entertainment who added atypical members (some apparently effete, some heavyset, and some of slight build) to create a winning formula. They are divided into three sub-units which focus on varied pop genres: Super Junior-T, the first Idol group to execute trot music (the most traditional form of Korean pop music) and has only released one massively triumphant single entitled Rokuko; Super Junior-Happy, a group ingrained in dance-bubblegum pop; and Super Junior-M (for Mandarin), the group that caters to Chinese fans.
As a result of these cross-sectional personalities, the group garnered a total of 55 awards from different award-giving bodies across Asia over the years. The release of their third album continues to cultivate a popularity that crosses geographical regions and language barriers which was demonstrated in their latest performance during the Taiwan's 20th Golden Melody Awards, an affair that honors the most excellent in the Chinese music scene.
With their masterpiece Sorry, Sorry alone, the track has won over 10 recognitions. It is the most successful single to date. The perfect combination of Asian and Western style and drama and stimulating pop makes one sing 'shawty, shawty, shawty' under his breath. The songs 'It's You/Neorago', 'Why I Like You', 'Monster', 'Reset', 'Angela', 'Love U More', 'Let's not...', and 'Dead at Heart' will surely linger in the ears, heart and soul of every listener.
The Kpop boy band Super Junior will surely have more super moves and grooves to dish out like the way they sing and dance...like there's no tomorrow.
