Super junior still perform and tour consisently and have some of the funnest live perfomances despite their age. Perfoming three songs in a row is hardly anthing for them when they normally have some of the longest concerts. They genuinely have a love for performing. Heechul had a car accident early in their career which shattered his right leg. He was told then to stop dancing when they placed several metal rods in his leg but he kept dancing on it for over decade to a point where it became too painful. So he announced his hiatus from dance perfomances. From 2019 onwards you are more likely not to see Heechul in a performance but he still sporadically takes part in them as he did for SMTown 2024. But he is there for everything else.
What makes you think Super Junior would be any different than any other Kpop group? Of course their choreography is good. They still perform concerts for more than 3 hours, and they often have so much fun that their performances go on for more than 4 hours, so their stamina is just as good as those young groups, maybe even better because they've been doing this for more than 19 years now. Don't underestimate them. There's a reason why they are all in their late 30s and early 40s and still attending music shows and holding concerts, etc. They know what they are doing.
I'm going to answer your questions and comment on some things you said so this is going to be long. please bear with me. 2:16 heechul stopped performing with them in 2019. although he's still part of the song, he don't promote with them on music shows. he did during "Callin'" and "House Party", though because Callin' is a ballad and maybe because House Party is during their 15th anniv. He performed on their comeback show and 15th anniv celebration. p.s. I'm not sure if you know but gonna say it anyway, he stopped because of his injured legs. but he'll be coming back next year for the 20th anniv. he'll go touring again! MEMBERS!! 2:49 LEETEUK (pronounced as eetuk) 2:50 EUNHYUK (pronounced as unhyuk .. but we call him by his real name - hyukjae) 2:52 KYUHYUN 2:53 SHINDONG 2:54 SIWON (pronounced as shiwon - with a W) 2:55 YESUNG 2:57 RYEOWOOK (pronounced as ryowuk.. we call him wookie - i heard you calling him wookie already 😂) 2:58 DONGHAE 11:06 they do sing live. SM is known for their good and stable vocals. they always sing live. 12:05 yes! quite surprised you also know the names of the "not so known" ones! not so known because they don't do variety shows much. 13:30 that's the Sorry Sorry dance break 😄 13:51 if this is a Super Show, that shirt will be off already. 😂 14:11 more like everyone from seventeen looks like Yesung since he's older. 😂 but yeah, he kinda gives off The8 energy. they have the same eyes. 14:34 is the "hmm" for the harmonies? because suju has a lot of that. you just need to listen to a ballad to appreciate it more. recommendation is the "Raining Spell For Love" remake live clip for a recent one. 18:03 as far as I know, you don't need to convince them to do the choreo. they are always willing to learn. however, when they need to tweak the formation and have to practice, that's a different story. as suju always say, they grumble a lot but they still do it. 😂 20:58 it's a good thing that you recognize the current active members already. because if you'll start from the very beginning, you'll notice the ex-members that you don't know faster. and after "It's You (Neorago)", their line up will be different every year because mwmbers go to military one by one. 21:20 not making fun!! actually, kudos for the effort. 💙💙 21:39 he is very good, although unappreciated and unseen most of the time in the world of kpop outside the fandom. his voice is chef's kiss. he usually do adlibs for suju. 23:00 shindong!! one of the best dancers!! 👏👏 he actually got in SM for comedy 😂 but also his dancing. if you watched that knowing brothers suju episode, it's revealed that a video of him dancing when he was younger was used as a reference by SM trainees. 23:42 here's the praise!! woohoo!! good job guys!! 👏👏 😄 thank you for exploring suju and appreciating them! looking forward to the next videos. 💙💙
i love them and sm artists but they definitely dont sing everything live. even though they could. even in smtown they playbacked even though people think they sang live its obvious if you look at their mouths. i think its sad because they can sing it live but i understand it not being live cause of the dancing.
The beauty of SUPER JUNIOR all of them can sing. And each of them have a distinct voice but them singing together create a one voice that is very pleasing to listen.. and yes they sing live.
I can almost guarantee that as soon as the performance was over every single one of them started complaining about wanting to go home 😂 It's what they do. They love performing, and work hard, but they really like going home afterwards. It's really fun watching their dance practice bts. There's a lot of huffing and hawing, chaos and banter, and then they learn the choreo in like one day. Pro performers and pro comedians. I hope someone has put D&Es Oppa, Oppa on your list. The OG of unit songs.
Super Junior is seriously one of the funniest kpop groups. You should totally check out some funny videos of them. Like the video 'suju being suju for 16 minutes / a loud super junior compilation' has more than 2 million views. Also, checking out Super Junior K.R.Y. live performances is a must.
Oh, they sing live! Idols from 2nd gen always sings lives, even in music show if you see from 2nd gen like 2005 to 2010 you can see all kpop groups sang live. They were really criticized if they didn't sing live so they are really well trained
Basically since 2 of the 3 (Kyuhyun and Ryeowook) were in the military, Yesung hard carried the main vocals for their whole PLAY (2017) album! Especially in 'Blacksuit', he want ham with the ad-libs and the high notes. That song was my intro to K-pop and immediately i knew he was my Vocal bias :)
It's funny when Simon said that Yesung has a little bit of every SVT members in him, cause when i watch Suju, they remind me of SVT and vice versa. The 13 members, the chaotic energy, the random funny things they do. And SVT is very close with Suju sunbaenim. Both groups are very hardworking and struggled a lot back in the early days. I can see why both groups make it to who they are today.
I highly recommend to watch more of them! Especially their show or some other with them. They are one of the most funny groops in k-pop. I stoped listen k-pop for five years (now I'm here again) but when I had hard times or felt sad I always returned to them (or to three other groups) And thank you for the reaction!
To answer your question, they are singing live....they don't lipsync. SUJU is a group that has the best vocals in KPop...Kyuhyun, Ryewook and Yesung (KRY) are considered the top 3 who has the best vocals...Kyuhyun was voted to be #1 in both vocals and technique. All the other members can hold on their own and their harmonies are topnotch. They have their Super Shows concerts too until recent.
As an ELFZEN (which is not surprising considering my name in youtube), this is a dream come true. I'll focus more on Donghae for this comment though. 2:58 This is Lee Donghae. Note for you guys since you're familiar with Jeno (NCT) already, just associate Donghae's face with Jeno (and Yuushi of NCT WISH). But I'm glad you're familiar with Donghae's face now. Donghae and Jeno are known in both fandoms as brothers/father-son duo, and of course they're VERY close too. They actually have a collab together "California Love" which you might want to check out. I'll be linking the music video, live video as well as some behind stories on how the song and collab came to be. MUSIC VIDEO > ruclips.net/video/HMQc3PdLOQ8/видео.html LIVE > ruclips.net/video/6pu9neE0Kcc/видео.html BEHIND (not the song recording) > ruclips.net/video/66ltrcIQr5o/видео.html
I'm so happy you're doing a deep dive with SUJU. I honestly wish I could rediscover them again for the first time because they are an all encompassing and special experience. About the live singing for SMTOWN, it seems to up to the artists discretion of whether or not they lip sync because there are certain artist who'll lip and certain who will sing live. However, if you do ever venture into watching any SUJU concerts (Super Shows), majority of the show is live with maybe a couple exceptions of dance heavy songs. A little more about them is the Kyuhyun (more like Q-hyun), Ryeowook, and Yesung make up the best vocal line in K-pop and Kyuhyun and Ryeowook especially are heralded at the very top of the industry for their vocal technique. Kyuwook are also musical theatre actors and very good. I hope this deep dive will have you exploring their variety content as well, imo they are the variety idols, where even the weaker members are great entertainers. They've guest starred on Knowing Bros quite a lot and the dynamic with them there with Heechul is great, along with their appearances on Weekly Idol, Idol Room, and their own in house variety shows SUJU Returns (rec. season 3 and 4) and Super TV (rec. season 2 this season brings on a guest group to compete against the SUJUS).
heechul doesnt join stage performances because of his leg (there was a very unfortunate accident early in their career) you can sometimes see him come in briefly to sing his part in some performances!
Super Junior was one of my first kpop groups I watched and fell in love with. Eunhyuk is my bias and will always be my ultimate bias because I fell in love with kpop because of him! Super Junior is amazing and really did a lot to help kpop become big. I love them! To me the big three groups from all the big agencies was Super Junior, 2pm and Big Bang!
I was laughing so hard at the leeteuk being 9 & YESUNG HEESUNG & SIWON SION thing. And EUNHYUK is one of the best kpop dancers. You need to react to the EUNHYUK & DONGHAE 's show, especially CHANYEOL & MINHO interview
Funny thing you mentioned seventeen, they love SJ very much and have a very good relationship between them. They are one of the few groups celebrated SJ's 15th anniversary and they were all wearing black suit (singing the chores) and show their respect. Some people act like they were just and old group but they were the start of all this kpop wave.
Super Junior perform really long concerts still so three songs is nothing really to them. They've learnt so many different types of choreography over the years are really experienced dancers. They joke sometimes because they have so many songs that it's hard to remember random song dances but after a quick rehearsal they will be able to remember it. You're right they sing so well live, their voices are just beautiful 💙 If you want to see more of them take a look at Burn The Floor and This is Love/Evanesce next
They have their show ...watch it.. its funny and behind scene of their comeback... There is one mv that they recorded singing live ...they sound amazing
You will love diving into Super Junior! During Covid lockdown I discovered them - and Kpop - through Siwon's dramas & SuJu's songs have now totally replaced all other music. I love their brotherhood, their chaos, their family vibes after growing up together for 20+ years, & their amazing harmonies. Siwon is my bias 'cos I saw him first & love his compassion for disadvantaged children, but every one of my guys gets into your heart and becomes your bias too!
It's so fun to watch people react to Suju por the first time :) I hope you enjoy the ride!! I'd recommend watching/listening to Burn the Floor for the creative side of them, then Memories live, to truly enjoy their vocals (Raining Spell for Love remake also works for that, or anything by KRY), then for the fun side... watch them in Knowing Bros, every time they've gone is a lot of fun!
What really fascinated me is that.. I tend to pay attention to the adlibs when it comes to SUPER JUNIOR and Yesung always give that satisfying adlib. He is my adlib king. By the way.. Yesung just released a new album.. pls check it out.. Title song is It's Complicated. Thank you.
Super Junior is a group who prefers to sing live because they don't really know how to lip synch. Even during their early days when the mics were limited, they still sang live. They would sometimes do random adlibs in the middle of the songs. As to which members probably protested doing three songs, I dare say all of them. As shared once by Eunhyuk and Donghae, the members have the tendency to complain first then do it anyway. Heechul is not in the performance because of his health condition. He would still join them in some performances especially in the SMTown 2024 in Japan and some of their comeback releases.
I've never thought of Leeteuk being similar to Ten, but I can see it. And they definitly have the shirtless thing in common, though Ten is probably more extreme. Great job with the names!
Heechul wasn't in this performance because as one of the two oldest members of the group -- he is currently 41 -- he has had to deal with health issues that make it painful for him to dance. Therefore, for the past several years Heechul's role in SJs MVs and performances has gotten smaller. Early in his career in 2006, about a year after debut, he shattered his leg in a car accident and he had to have major surgery where they had to put several pins and metal rods in his leg. He has had to deal with a lot of pain over the years, especially when he dances, because of this. He was even told by doctors that he should stop dancing. However, for most of his career he was able to overcome the pain and just power through as he performed with the group, but as he has gotten older the pain has gotten worse and he is constantly worried about dragging the rest of the group down because he struggles to keep up with everyone in their dances. The fact that Heechul can't perform anymore is sad because, if you know Heechul, you know he is a dancing machine and he absolutely loves to dance and be the center of attention. Heechul is pretty much obsessed with being a performer and he knows the song and dance for almost any Kpop artist or group, both boy groups and girl groups, that have been in existence since Kpop's conception. But, around 2019 he decided that what is best for the group is if he just sits out any of their live comeback performances where they perform their choreography -- and even their most recent concert tours. However, he still participates in as many of Super Junior's things as he can and the members make sure to include him in as much as possible. Over the years, Super Junior has come up with ways to include Heechul in everything they do, often by highlighting his other talents, such as making him the guitar player in their "Lo Siento" MV or having him play the drums during concert performances of "Don't Don" or giving him the rap sections in their songs so he can come out halfway through the performance and deliver his lines and only have to dance for a short time or not have to dance at all. Heechul loves being a part of Super Junior and I think he will be one of the last people to ever consider leaving the group. But it breaks my heart that these health issues have made it almost impossible for him to do what he loves to do the most, which is being on stage performing with the rest of the members. Heechul really lives for the stage. Although Heechul is now one of Super Junior's rappers, he also has a very beautiful singing voice. He has even been known to fill in for Yesung, one of Super Junior's main vocalists, during their concert performances when Yesung was in the military. So that just shows how out of this world talented the members of Super Junior really are.
You are who I think can help me out. There was a youtuber who did in depth look into SuJu members, but she never completed. I got info on Donghae, Eunhyuk, Kyunhyun, Ryeowok, Siwon, Yesung. The info for Heechul, Leetuk, and Shindong is missing. And the info I want is what is their English name? Also do you know if the EXO boys have English names?
@@Lilliana76 Leetuek's English name is Dennis Park, Heechul's English name is Casey Kim and Shindong's name is Matthew Shin. I have never heard the EXO members or anyone talk about having English names, but if you search for their K-profile, you can check if someone else knows something I don't.
It's funny that you mention Seventeen, because both they and the Sujus get along very well. I would say that Seventeen are Suju's children and they always show their gratitude to them for the advice and everything. Both groups are close.
Heechul doesn't always perform cause of his injury but did perform in the 2024 SMTown +another SJ event in japan and plans to join the 20th anniversary activities next year. Wow good job getting all their names right when you haven't seen that many videos of suju i think Definitely check their variety stuff if you're considering it; they're one of the funniest and most chaotic groups
Comment of the reaction: Siwon - the MAN that '2PM declare their Aplh'. 🤣 My biases: Yesung and Siwon. My bias wreckers: everyone else. I think you pegged them. 9-ergy - Leuteuk is the leader and brings a special energy, especially to their lives. And Shindong IS a legend. SuJu say 'We have Shindong'. He is hilarious, a fabulous dancer and a technical wizard. He is also the mastermind & director behind many of their MV's, both for songs and concerts. People have already recommended This is Love & Evanesce - they are companion MV"s and the first ones that he directed. Burn the Floor is also one of his. Thanks - enjoying the ride.
Please also check out the K.R.Y. sub-unit composed of the main vocals Kyuhyun, Ryeowook, and Yesung. Some of their famous songs are Dorothy, We Can, and When We Were Us. Also, K.R.Y. is the first ever sub-unit in the history of Kpop. They also have songs with Latin vibes: Lo Siento, Otra Vez, and I Think I. They have a big fanbase in LatAm. You also need to react to this masterpiece: BURN THE FLOOR All of these are still just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Suju discography.
Yesung is my bias. He is amazing. One thing I love from SuJu as a EXO-L is how much the members have their EXO favourite member. Kyunhyun has Xiumin and Baekhyun, Ryowook D.O, Donghae Sehun, Yesung Chanyeol... some months ago Yesung posted in his channel a live singing with Chanyeol in the guitar. He is wonderful. My 2 bias together. Im pretty certain the w in the SuJu members names are pronounced.
Thank you for reacting Super Junior. Eunhyuk is My bias and I start loving Kpop dance because of him. They are doing many activities until now and please react more Suju Contents 💙💙💙
As someone already mentioned Heechul has an injury , super junior got involved and some car accidentes years ago. We almost lose Kyu and by that i mean he almost died. A lot f suffering but they never stopped. We have some members absent in some songs through the years because of the military service but never a break. In korean everytime you see an S followed by I or Y is SHI they don't have the sound CI like Ciwon. Is SHI
I love that you are deep diving into suju. They are so unhinged that they are super funny and entertaining. I love many groups but suju is still the funniest group in my opinion.
Loving the SuJu content. They're such great performers and like all SM groups, chaotic. When you wonder where NCT Dream get their chaotic-ist, SuJu is where it came from. They basically raised Dream, especially 5Dream during their trainee days.
All groups de SM sing live ! Suju is Suju always sings live is considered one of the best groups in ViVo, because they have the best unit of KPop KRY ❤
it is sung live (there was an audience in this one too i think) but yeah generally anything prerecorded is going to have some level of post production these days. even things like killing voice and its live are pretty processed
I'm so happy you are checking SUJU. My very first introduction to K-pop back in 2011. I'll be looking forward to more reactions. Never question an English lyrics from SM they are notorious for that, and the "shut your tong" is just an iconic inside joke in the fandom if not the kpop community 😂😂😂 Did you notice the resemblance between Donghae and NCT's Jeno?? There is a picture of them tgthr from when jeno was still a baby, and they are close actually, jeamin even got jealous when Jeno said smth abt receiving advice from Donghae and that they hang out 😅 For the praise now, you did great with identifying the members with no mistakes from what i remember. For the pronunciation, i am sorry i am too lasy now to write it down so i ll leave it for someone else 😅
I also do the learn by association thing Simon haha. During my Treasure journey I was remembering them by who they reminded me of lol Junkyu was "the JHope one" Junghwan was "the one who looks like a mix of Youngjae and Hongki" haha etc so I relate. Loving the SuJu deep dive! Cant wait for more ❤
Siwon= she-won (w not silent) Leeteuk= lee-tuk (the eu sound is a bit difficult to describe lol just say an oo but shorter??) Ryeowook = Ryo-ook (the k sound is more g adjacent but for now this works, and the w in this case is silent like you mentioned. its a difference in spelling but when they turn it into english they tend to add the w) Yesung= yay-sung Eunhyuk= un-hyuhk (again with the shorter oo sound) Kyuhyun= kyoo-hyuhn (proper oo this time 🤣) the others i think you guys pronounce fine
You forgot about Black suit? We had that one on stream from an award show (believe it was Golden Disk awards). Just too bad that Heechul isnt really performing with them anymore due to his leg.
Pronunciation of Names (in age order): Ee - sound as long “e” or short “I” Eu - sound as schwa sound like in education, creation, the vowel sound in t”io”n Ae - sound as short “e” - most of the time U - sound can be short “u” or double “oo” I’ll put the letters in transcribing simply the short soujd of the vowel letter.. - Leeteuk ( i-t”schwa”k ) - Heechul ( hi-chool ) - Yesung ( ye-sung ) - Shindong ( shin-dong ) - Sungmin ( sung-min ) - Eunhyuk ( “schwa”n-hyuk ) - Siwon ( shi-won ) - Donghae ( dong-he ) - Ryeowook ( ryo-wook or re-wook ) - Kyuhyun ( kyoo-hyun ) ..I don’t spewk Korean but I got this from hearing them over & over again say their names..w/ wookie it’s complicated for me still so I alwys jst say wookie..haha.. I hope u got it..thanks
17:58 We do know hahaha and actually it is all of them! hahaha they all complain they never want to do it and that it is too much work, yet they all show up for the dance practices and put in all the work because none of them has it in the to be the one not to show up 🤣.
SUJU!!! Thank you!! Heechul can't always be there because of his leg and his schedule, but we understand, he's very much still part of SJ and I hope to see him on the SS10 (hope they come to Europe! as well) SS= Super Show - SJ concert. I think they do have a backing track, but they sing over that. They said that their dancing is not that extravagant so that they can focus on singing live and being able to do it for a long time. The problem is, they are so good sometimes is hard to believe 😅 SJ is always better live! Siwon (Siwon or Shiwon) always gets the "that's a man" comment, and yes! he is very manly (most of the time). Many people think he's the leader, but he's actually in the maknae line (according to himself) sometimes he's just a little kid running around! Hey!! that's MY Yesung!! (not Yeesung, but Yesung) he actually got a new album out a few days ago, please check his song It's complicated 💙 In older videos sometimes you can't see him but you can definitely hear him. You need to see them at an SS they just go running around singing and dancing for like 3 hours, and then they complain they are tired but had fun. The hardest to convince were probably the KRY members, the ballad singers 🤣 the rest of them love dancing around and could do it for longer, especially D&E and Leeteuk (the leader, he has so much energy!!)).
SM loves clones; Dongha and Jeno, Minho and Lucas, Taemin and Jungwoo, Leeteuk and Ten, Max and Winwin…. One thing I love SuJu beside their tallest, they are a crazy group, very very funny!!!
for the name leeteuk - you say it right. lee-teuk (not took) but in korean it's ee-teuk (silent l) heechul - he-cheol (not chool) yesung - ye from yellow, without l + song (like sing a song) shindong - easy shin-dong eunhyuk - the eu is not yoo. it's like eu from leeteuk, eu without t & ends with n = eun / hyuk = hyeok (like cheol, song/seong) or if it's too hard you can call him hyukjae 🤣 it's his real name donghae - dong+hay/hey siwon - it's see+won (win>won>won yes that won) ryeowook - it's the same eo with cheol/song/hyuk + wook (silent w) kyuhyun - gyoo-hyeon (it's that eo again) hope this help!
His name is ryeowook you can check some of his solo work he has 3 albums. you can check some songs of his songs like 'the little prince', 'i am not over you', 'drunk in the morning', 'hiding words', 'blue bird', 'angel's wing', 'it's okay'. he also have lots of singles and osts
Thank you for sharing and invite everyone to listen to and support the 2024 latest solo album of Yesung, the lead singer of SUPER JUNIOR. MV_ Yesung예성_It’s complicated
😂 you should watch a Super Show. Three songs is nothing, they do three hours on a regular basis. The most recent was SS9:Half-time, which was this year, and SS9 was last year. D&E is the dance subunit (Donghae and Eunhyuk) and they are almost constantly doing D&E concerts in between the Super Junior concerts.
Simon seems to be able to navigate his way around the English language fairly competently and have an interest in linguistics so in the off chance that you actually know some ipa here are the members' names roughly transcribed: Leeteuk = 이특 = [itʰɯk] = ee-took (as in ‘book’) Heechul = 희철 = [hɰi̯t͜sʰʌl] = hee-chul Yesung = 예성 = [jiɕʌŋ] = yea-sung Shindong = 신동 = [ɕintoŋ] = shin-dong Eunhyuk = 은혁 = [ɯnhjk] = oon-hyuk (‘book’ - ‘about’) Siwon = 시원 = [ɕiyn] = shee-won Donghae = 동해 = [toŋhɛ] = dong-heh Ryeowook = 려욱 = [ɾjuk] = ryee-ook (‘root’) Kyuhyun = 규현 = [gjhjn] = kyoo-hyun (‘cute’)
have you reacted to Super Junior's Superman and Crown live? I think you should they were really amazing! Super Junior is among rare groups where I enjoy their live performances way way more than their MVs Unlike EXO or NCT or aespa, Super Junior unfortunately usually didn't seem to have big budget for MVs.. usually their MVs only stood out for emotional reason (sad, funny) not because they were flashy & full of superb CGIs
SJ are always live. There's been plenty of goofs over the years but they either make it look intentional or just laugh it off and carry on. 3 songs is no big deal for them, their concerts are 3-4 hours. Heechul has been absent from stage performances for some time now due to the car accident that disabled him. He continued for a long time against medical advice and almost lost the ability to walk. He came back to the stage for SM Town 2024 and has been announced to be a part of the 20th anniversary tour. I hope he doesn't push himself too far again but I'm looking forward to seeing him on stage again. There's a pronunciation guide playlist on the channel K splash that has most of the members covered if you want to hear it. I've added the missing members. Leeteuk - ee tuck Heechul - he choll Hangeng - han gung - left the group in 2011 following a lawsuit filed in 2009. Yesung - yeah song Kangin - kang in - left the group in 2019 Shindong - shin dong Sungmin - song min - has not officially left the group but has been on hiatus since he got married in 2014 Eunhyuk - un h yock - left SM with Donghae in 2023 to found their own company ODE but still part of SJ. Siwon - she one Zhou Mi - jo me - part of SJM which is currently inactive (sort of - D&E got everyone but Henry together for a single recently, they just couldn't call is SJM because that belongs to SM not ODE) Donghae - dong hey - left SM with Eunhyuk in 2023 to found their own company ODE but still part of SJ. Ryeowook - (rl)aw oo k - this one is genuinely hard for a lot of english speakers, most of us just say Wookie Kibum - key bum - left the group in 2009 Kyuhyun - queue h yon - left SM in 2023 to join Antenna but is still part of SJ. Henry - Henry - part of SJM, left SM in 2018 but no announcement has been made specifically regarding SJM. It's assumed he's no longer part of the unit but that may not be the case as there are multiple SJ members no longer contracted to SM but remain a part of SJ. I guess we'll find out if and when SJM ever makes a true comeback.
Korean names are tricky because there’s no one official way to romanize them… you just gotta listen how they say them or learn the Korean alphabet. But here's a couple pointers on these guys specifically Leeteuk = eetuk. E like in we without an L. There never an L in Lee. Don’t ask me why they insist on putting it there. the eu sound is tricky because it doesn’t exist in English but it’s a bit like saying you without the y. Or a short oo sound. Heechul you’re saying just fine. Yesung = yeh sung. It’s the e is like in yeah, I think you're saying it but more like yee or yi Shindong is said pretty much how your saying in, is we’re being picky the sh sound is a bit softer, not as hiss-y Eunhyuk = the same tricky eu sound as in leeteuk and hyak (a as in saw) Siwon =shiwon (same shi as shindong) and won like the currency or the won in wonwoo Donghae = donghe. The hae is not hay it's an E like in Elisabeth. Or hell. The same applies to pretty much every ae like taemin or taeyong Ryeowook = yeo sounds a bit like yawn without an n. The wool does not have a W. Kyuhyun = same kyu/gyu as in mingyu (there is no separate letter for k and g in Korean, there only ㄱ which is somewhere in between). Then there's the same yawn without an n and an h at the start. And that’s it. Hopefully that makes sense. It’s really hard to explain, both because some of these sounds don’t exist in English but also because English is the most phonetically inconsistent language on I know. I can’t just write a letter a a letter combo because they can’t be said in so many different ways but instead I have to find a work where that sound exist and the butcher it for the part I need.
Super junior still perform and tour consisently and have some of the funnest live perfomances despite their age. Perfoming three songs in a row is hardly anthing for them when they normally have some of the longest concerts. They genuinely have a love for performing. Heechul had a car accident early in their career which shattered his right leg. He was told then to stop dancing when they placed several metal rods in his leg but he kept dancing on it for over decade to a point where it became too painful. So he announced his hiatus from dance perfomances. From 2019 onwards you are more likely not to see Heechul in a performance but he still sporadically takes part in them as he did for SMTown 2024. But he is there for everything else.
What makes you think Super Junior would be any different than any other Kpop group? Of course their choreography is good. They still perform concerts for more than 3 hours, and they often have so much fun that their performances go on for more than 4 hours, so their stamina is just as good as those young groups, maybe even better because they've been doing this for more than 19 years now. Don't underestimate them. There's a reason why they are all in their late 30s and early 40s and still attending music shows and holding concerts, etc. They know what they are doing.
btw... just so you know, super junior never took a break, super junior to this day its still one of most active groups of kpop and the whole industry.
Exactly! They even took turns serving in the military, allowing them to keep producing music without going on hiatus 😂
I'm going to answer your questions and comment on some things you said so this is going to be long. please bear with me.
2:16 heechul stopped performing with them in 2019. although he's still part of the song, he don't promote with them on music shows. he did during "Callin'" and "House Party", though because Callin' is a ballad and maybe because House Party is during their 15th anniv. He performed on their comeback show and 15th anniv celebration. p.s. I'm not sure if you know but gonna say it anyway, he stopped because of his injured legs. but he'll be coming back next year for the 20th anniv. he'll go touring again!
MEMBERS!!
2:49 LEETEUK (pronounced as eetuk)
2:50 EUNHYUK (pronounced as unhyuk .. but we call him by his real name - hyukjae)
2:52 KYUHYUN
2:53 SHINDONG
2:54 SIWON (pronounced as shiwon - with a W)
2:55 YESUNG
2:57 RYEOWOOK (pronounced as ryowuk.. we call him wookie - i heard you calling him wookie already 😂)
2:58 DONGHAE
11:06 they do sing live. SM is known for their good and stable vocals. they always sing live.
12:05 yes! quite surprised you also know the names of the "not so known" ones! not so known because they don't do variety shows much.
13:30 that's the Sorry Sorry dance break 😄
13:51 if this is a Super Show, that shirt will be off already. 😂
14:11 more like everyone from seventeen looks like Yesung since he's older. 😂 but yeah, he kinda gives off The8 energy. they have the same eyes.
14:34 is the "hmm" for the harmonies? because suju has a lot of that. you just need to listen to a ballad to appreciate it more. recommendation is the "Raining Spell For Love" remake live clip for a recent one.
18:03 as far as I know, you don't need to convince them to do the choreo. they are always willing to learn. however, when they need to tweak the formation and have to practice, that's a different story. as suju always say, they grumble a lot but they still do it. 😂
20:58 it's a good thing that you recognize the current active members already. because if you'll start from the very beginning, you'll notice the ex-members that you don't know faster. and after "It's You (Neorago)", their line up will be different every year because mwmbers go to military one by one.
21:20 not making fun!! actually, kudos for the effort. 💙💙
21:39 he is very good, although unappreciated and unseen most of the time in the world of kpop outside the fandom. his voice is chef's kiss. he usually do adlibs for suju.
23:00 shindong!! one of the best dancers!! 👏👏 he actually got in SM for comedy 😂 but also his dancing. if you watched that knowing brothers suju episode, it's revealed that a video of him dancing when he was younger was used as a reference by SM trainees.
23:42 here's the praise!! woohoo!! good job guys!! 👏👏 😄 thank you for exploring suju and appreciating them! looking forward to the next videos. 💙💙
i love them and sm artists but they definitely dont sing everything live. even though they could. even in smtown they playbacked even though people think they sang live its obvious if you look at their mouths. i think its sad because they can sing it live but i understand it not being live cause of the dancing.
The beauty of SUPER JUNIOR all of them can sing. And each of them have a distinct voice but them singing together create a one voice that is very pleasing to listen.. and yes they sing live.
I can almost guarantee that as soon as the performance was over every single one of them started complaining about wanting to go home 😂 It's what they do. They love performing, and work hard, but they really like going home afterwards.
It's really fun watching their dance practice bts. There's a lot of huffing and hawing, chaos and banter, and then they learn the choreo in like one day. Pro performers and pro comedians.
I hope someone has put D&Es Oppa, Oppa on your list. The OG of unit songs.
Super Junior is seriously one of the funniest kpop groups. You should totally check out some funny videos of them. Like the video 'suju being suju for 16 minutes / a loud super junior compilation' has more than 2 million views. Also, checking out Super Junior K.R.Y. live performances is a must.
their knowing brother episode is so fun, I fell in love with Yesung after that
Yeah he is so underrated
up
Oh, they sing live! Idols from 2nd gen always sings lives, even in music show if you see from 2nd gen like 2005 to 2010 you can see all kpop groups sang live. They were really criticized if they didn't sing live so they are really well trained
Basically since 2 of the 3 (Kyuhyun and Ryeowook) were in the military, Yesung hard carried the main vocals for their whole PLAY (2017) album! Especially in 'Blacksuit', he want ham with the ad-libs and the high notes. That song was my intro to K-pop and immediately i knew he was my Vocal bias :)
It's funny when Simon said that Yesung has a little bit of every SVT members in him, cause when i watch Suju, they remind me of SVT and vice versa. The 13 members, the chaotic energy, the random funny things they do. And SVT is very close with Suju sunbaenim. Both groups are very hardworking and struggled a lot back in the early days. I can see why both groups make it to who they are today.
I highly recommend to watch more of them! Especially their show or some other with them. They are one of the most funny groops in k-pop. I stoped listen k-pop for five years (now I'm here again) but when I had hard times or felt sad I always returned to them (or to three other groups)
And thank you for the reaction!
To answer your question, they are singing live....they don't lipsync. SUJU is a group that has the best vocals in KPop...Kyuhyun, Ryewook and Yesung (KRY) are considered the top 3 who has the best vocals...Kyuhyun was voted to be #1 in both vocals and technique. All the other members can hold on their own and their harmonies are topnotch. They have their Super Shows concerts too until recent.
As an ELFZEN (which is not surprising considering my name in youtube), this is a dream come true. I'll focus more on Donghae for this comment though.
2:58 This is Lee Donghae. Note for you guys since you're familiar with Jeno (NCT) already, just associate Donghae's face with Jeno (and Yuushi of NCT WISH). But I'm glad you're familiar with Donghae's face now. Donghae and Jeno are known in both fandoms as brothers/father-son duo, and of course they're VERY close too. They actually have a collab together "California Love" which you might want to check out. I'll be linking the music video, live video as well as some behind stories on how the song and collab came to be.
MUSIC VIDEO > ruclips.net/video/HMQc3PdLOQ8/видео.html

I'm so happy you're doing a deep dive with SUJU. I honestly wish I could rediscover them again for the first time because they are an all encompassing and special experience. About the live singing for SMTOWN, it seems to up to the artists discretion of whether or not they lip sync because there are certain artist who'll lip and certain who will sing live. However, if you do ever venture into watching any SUJU concerts (Super Shows), majority of the show is live with maybe a couple exceptions of dance heavy songs.
A little more about them is the Kyuhyun (more like Q-hyun), Ryeowook, and Yesung make up the best vocal line in K-pop and Kyuhyun and Ryeowook especially are heralded at the very top of the industry for their vocal technique. Kyuwook are also musical theatre actors and very good.
I hope this deep dive will have you exploring their variety content as well, imo they are the variety idols, where even the weaker members are great entertainers. They've guest starred on Knowing Bros quite a lot and the dynamic with them there with Heechul is great, along with their appearances on Weekly Idol, Idol Room, and their own in house variety shows SUJU Returns (rec. season 3 and 4) and Super TV (rec. season 2 this season brings on a guest group to compete against the SUJUS).
heechul doesnt join stage performances because of his leg (there was a very unfortunate accident early in their career) you can sometimes see him come in briefly to sing his part in some performances!
Super Junior was one of my first kpop groups I watched and fell in love with. Eunhyuk is my bias and will always be my ultimate bias because I fell in love with kpop because of him! Super Junior is amazing and really did a lot to help kpop become big. I love them! To me the big three groups from all the big agencies was Super Junior, 2pm and Big Bang!
What you are hearing is the live version. Super Junior is THAT good. They are a 100 times better live than in the records. The kings of vocals 💙💙💙
Siwon is THAT man who still carries a handkerchief btw.
I was laughing so hard at the leeteuk being 9 & YESUNG HEESUNG & SIWON SION thing. And EUNHYUK is one of the best kpop dancers.
You need to react to the EUNHYUK & DONGHAE 's show, especially CHANYEOL & MINHO interview
Funny thing you mentioned seventeen, they love SJ very much and have a very good relationship between them. They are one of the few groups celebrated SJ's 15th anniversary and they were all wearing black suit (singing the chores) and show their respect.
Some people act like they were just and old group but they were the start of all this kpop wave.
Super Junior perform really long concerts still so three songs is nothing really to them. They've learnt so many different types of choreography over the years are really experienced dancers. They joke sometimes because they have so many songs that it's hard to remember random song dances but after a quick rehearsal they will be able to remember it. You're right they sing so well live, their voices are just beautiful 💙 If you want to see more of them take a look at Burn The Floor and This is Love/Evanesce next
They have their show ...watch it.. its funny and behind scene of their comeback... There is one mv that they recorded singing live ...they sound amazing
Super junior always sing live this what make them unique group
i think you should listen to their ballad live, it will bless your ears✨
You will love diving into Super Junior! During Covid lockdown I discovered them - and Kpop - through Siwon's dramas & SuJu's songs have now totally replaced all other music. I love their brotherhood, their chaos, their family vibes after growing up together for 20+ years, & their amazing harmonies. Siwon is my bias 'cos I saw him first & love his compassion for disadvantaged children, but every one of my guys gets into your heart and becomes your bias too!
Super Junior on Knowing Brothers is the peak of content, full stop. Really hope u can watch it!
It's like Kerry says it at 7:03 and 7:28
Simon's Wonwoo example works against him in this, cause the won is the same in SiWON and WONwoo 😂
It's so fun to watch people react to Suju por the first time :) I hope you enjoy the ride!! I'd recommend watching/listening to Burn the Floor for the creative side of them, then Memories live, to truly enjoy their vocals (Raining Spell for Love remake also works for that, or anything by KRY), then for the fun side... watch them in Knowing Bros, every time they've gone is a lot of fun!
What really fascinated me is that.. I tend to pay attention to the adlibs when it comes to SUPER JUNIOR and Yesung always give that satisfying adlib. He is my adlib king. By the way.. Yesung just released a new album.. pls check it out.. Title song is It's Complicated. Thank you.
Super Junior is a group who prefers to sing live because they don't really know how to lip synch. Even during their early days when the mics were limited, they still sang live. They would sometimes do random adlibs in the middle of the songs.
As to which members probably protested doing three songs, I dare say all of them. As shared once by Eunhyuk and Donghae, the members have the tendency to complain first then do it anyway. Heechul is not in the performance because of his health condition. He would still join them in some performances especially in the SMTown 2024 in Japan and some of their comeback releases.
6:47 lmao love you guys 😂😂 thanks for reacting
I've never thought of Leeteuk being similar to Ten, but I can see it. And they definitly have the shirtless thing in common, though Ten is probably more extreme. Great job with the names!
Thanks for the reaction to Suju: You should check out the live performances in their concerts
You guys did excellent. In my opinion I think they all still love performing and don’t need to be convinced
Heechul wasn't in this performance because as one of the two oldest members of the group -- he is currently 41 -- he has had to deal with health issues that make it painful for him to dance. Therefore, for the past several years Heechul's role in SJs MVs and performances has gotten smaller. Early in his career in 2006, about a year after debut, he shattered his leg in a car accident and he had to have major surgery where they had to put several pins and metal rods in his leg. He has had to deal with a lot of pain over the years, especially when he dances, because of this. He was even told by doctors that he should stop dancing. However, for most of his career he was able to overcome the pain and just power through as he performed with the group, but as he has gotten older the pain has gotten worse and he is constantly worried about dragging the rest of the group down because he struggles to keep up with everyone in their dances.
The fact that Heechul can't perform anymore is sad because, if you know Heechul, you know he is a dancing machine and he absolutely loves to dance and be the center of attention. Heechul is pretty much obsessed with being a performer and he knows the song and dance for almost any Kpop artist or group, both boy groups and girl groups, that have been in existence since Kpop's conception. But, around 2019 he decided that what is best for the group is if he just sits out any of their live comeback performances where they perform their choreography -- and even their most recent concert tours. However, he still participates in as many of Super Junior's things as he can and the members make sure to include him in as much as possible.
Over the years, Super Junior has come up with ways to include Heechul in everything they do, often by highlighting his other talents, such as making him the guitar player in their "Lo Siento" MV or having him play the drums during concert performances of "Don't Don" or giving him the rap sections in their songs so he can come out halfway through the performance and deliver his lines and only have to dance for a short time or not have to dance at all. Heechul loves being a part of Super Junior and I think he will be one of the last people to ever consider leaving the group. But it breaks my heart that these health issues have made it almost impossible for him to do what he loves to do the most, which is being on stage performing with the rest of the members. Heechul really lives for the stage.
Although Heechul is now one of Super Junior's rappers, he also has a very beautiful singing voice. He has even been known to fill in for Yesung, one of Super Junior's main vocalists, during their concert performances when Yesung was in the military. So that just shows how out of this world talented the members of Super Junior really are.
You are who I think can help me out. There was a youtuber who did in depth look into SuJu members, but she never completed. I got info on Donghae, Eunhyuk, Kyunhyun, Ryeowok, Siwon, Yesung. The info for Heechul, Leetuk, and Shindong is missing. And the info I want is what is their English name?
Also do you know if the EXO boys have English names?
@@Lilliana76 Leetuek's English name is Dennis Park, Heechul's English name is Casey Kim and Shindong's name is Matthew Shin.
I have never heard the EXO members or anyone talk about having English names, but if you search for their K-profile, you can check if someone else knows something I don't.
@@milindawilson9175 thank you so much!! I knew I could count on you 🙂
One of KPop legend 💙
It's funny that you mention Seventeen, because both they and the Sujus get along very well. I would say that Seventeen are Suju's children and they always show their gratitude to them for the advice and everything. Both groups are close.
Heechul doesn't always perform cause of his injury but did perform in the 2024 SMTown +another SJ event in japan and plans to join the 20th anniversary activities next year.
Wow good job getting all their names right when you haven't seen that many videos of suju i think
Definitely check their variety stuff if you're considering it; they're one of the funniest and most chaotic groups
Comment of the reaction: Siwon - the MAN that '2PM declare their Aplh'. 🤣
My biases: Yesung and Siwon. My bias wreckers: everyone else.
I think you pegged them. 9-ergy - Leuteuk is the leader and brings a special energy, especially to their lives.
And Shindong IS a legend. SuJu say 'We have Shindong'. He is hilarious, a fabulous dancer and a technical wizard. He is also the mastermind & director behind many of their MV's, both for songs and concerts. People have already recommended This is Love & Evanesce - they are companion MV"s and the first ones that he directed. Burn the Floor is also one of his.
Thanks - enjoying the ride.
Please also check out the K.R.Y. sub-unit composed of the main vocals Kyuhyun, Ryeowook, and Yesung. Some of their famous songs are Dorothy, We Can, and When We Were Us. Also, K.R.Y. is the first ever sub-unit in the history of Kpop.
They also have songs with Latin vibes: Lo Siento, Otra Vez, and I Think I. They have a big fanbase in LatAm.
You also need to react to this masterpiece: BURN THE FLOOR
All of these are still just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Suju discography.
Sorry sorry still gets me bopping after all these years 😂
Love Throwback Thursday 😍😍😍
Yesung is my bias. He is amazing.
One thing I love from SuJu as a EXO-L is how much the members have their EXO favourite member. Kyunhyun has Xiumin and Baekhyun, Ryowook D.O, Donghae Sehun, Yesung Chanyeol... some months ago Yesung posted in his channel a live singing with Chanyeol in the guitar. He is wonderful. My 2 bias together.
Im pretty certain the w in the SuJu members names are pronounced.
Thank for reacting to the kings!
Thank you for reacting Super Junior. Eunhyuk is My bias and I start loving Kpop dance because of him. They are doing many activities until now and please react more Suju Contents 💙💙💙
As someone already mentioned Heechul has an injury , super junior got involved and some car accidentes years ago. We almost lose Kyu and by that i mean he almost died. A lot f suffering but they never stopped. We have some members absent in some songs through the years because of the military service but never a break.
In korean everytime you see an S followed by I or Y is SHI they don't have the sound CI like Ciwon. Is SHI
The adlibs in Black Suit are what made Yesung a contender for my bias hehe
yes yesung is great and his latest comeback early this month was amazing. kyuhyun also just had a comeback
Thanks for your reaction to SUJU.
Look for the behind the scene of Mango and don't wait. These videos are really super funny.
You should really listen to super junior kry with our three fantastic vocalist you won’t regret it
I love that you are deep diving into suju. They are so unhinged that they are super funny and entertaining. I love many groups but suju is still the funniest group in my opinion.
My gosh blonde wookie is everything to me 😭Hope you guys react to more of them 💙
watch them on knowing brothers please..they are hilarious
I hope you do a super junior profile reaction too❤
I‘m surprised you haven‘t noticed donghae‘s resemblance to nct dream‘s jeno yet, it‘s quite well known :)
Loving the SuJu content. They're such great performers and like all SM groups, chaotic. When you wonder where NCT Dream get their chaotic-ist, SuJu is where it came from. They basically raised Dream, especially 5Dream during their trainee days.
Their ballads are amazing! now...20:45 from L-R Yesung-Leeteuk-Donghae-Wookie-Kyuhyun-Shindong-Eunyhuk-Siwon
All groups de SM sing live ! Suju is Suju always sings live is considered one of the best groups in ViVo, because they have the best unit of KPop KRY ❤
Los mejores vocales del KPOP
it is sung live (there was an audience in this one too i think) but yeah generally anything prerecorded is going to have some level of post production these days. even things like killing voice and its live are pretty processed
I'm so happy you are checking SUJU. My very first introduction to K-pop back in 2011. I'll be looking forward to more reactions.
Never question an English lyrics from SM they are notorious for that, and the "shut your tong" is just an iconic inside joke in the fandom if not the kpop community 😂😂😂
Did you notice the resemblance between Donghae and NCT's Jeno?? There is a picture of them tgthr from when jeno was still a baby, and they are close actually, jeamin even got jealous when Jeno said smth abt receiving advice from Donghae and that they hang out 😅
For the praise now, you did great with identifying the members with no mistakes from what i remember.
For the pronunciation, i am sorry i am too lasy now to write it down so i ll leave it for someone else 😅
Please you have to react to Burn the floor is a MASTERPICE🙌🏼💙
PLEASE react to their funny side! They are hilarious!
Super junior normally sing on live! in every event...
I also do the learn by association thing Simon haha. During my Treasure journey I was remembering them by who they reminded me of lol Junkyu was "the JHope one" Junghwan was "the one who looks like a mix of Youngjae and Hongki" haha etc so I relate. Loving the SuJu deep dive! Cant wait for more ❤
Siwon= she-won (w not silent)
Leeteuk= lee-tuk (the eu sound is a bit difficult to describe lol just say an oo but shorter??)
Ryeowook = Ryo-ook (the k sound is more g adjacent but for now this works, and the w in this case is silent like you mentioned. its a difference in spelling but when they turn it into english they tend to add the w)
Yesung= yay-sung
Eunhyuk= un-hyuhk (again with the shorter oo sound)
Kyuhyun= kyoo-hyuhn (proper oo this time 🤣)
the others i think you guys pronounce fine
Actually, Leeteuk is basically Ee-tuk. The L is silent.
Thank you for reacting to more suju💙💙
check out"Burn the Floor" and "Devil Performance Video", can't miss them, they are amazing.
Lol rly enjoying your suju journey so far 😀 it is pronounced “shi-won” btw
Father n Son a like :
- Donghae - Jeno
- Siwon - Jaemin
- Eunhyuk - Jisung
- Yesung - Renjun
oh god kyuhyun's voice 😍😍😍
You forgot about Black suit? We had that one on stream from an award show (believe it was Golden Disk awards).
Just too bad that Heechul isnt really performing with them anymore due to his leg.
There concerts practice video is the best you have to watch it ❤
Donghae is my love.
Maybe super Junior dance is not really special but what I really like about them is their vocal , they have really great vocal like Other SM Idols.
Pronunciation of Names (in age order):
Ee - sound as long “e” or short “I”
Eu - sound as schwa sound like in education, creation, the vowel sound in t”io”n
Ae - sound as short “e” - most of the time
U - sound can be short “u” or double “oo”
I’ll put the letters in transcribing simply the short soujd of the vowel letter..
- Leeteuk ( i-t”schwa”k )
- Heechul ( hi-chool )
- Yesung ( ye-sung )
- Shindong ( shin-dong )
- Sungmin ( sung-min )
- Eunhyuk ( “schwa”n-hyuk )
- Siwon ( shi-won )
- Donghae ( dong-he )
- Ryeowook ( ryo-wook or re-wook )
- Kyuhyun ( kyoo-hyun )
..I don’t spewk Korean but I got this from hearing them over & over again say their names..w/ wookie it’s complicated for me still so I alwys jst say wookie..haha.. I hope u got it..thanks
17:58 We do know hahaha and actually it is all of them! hahaha they all complain they never want to do it and that it is too much work, yet they all show up for the dance practices and put in all the work because none of them has it in the to be the one not to show up 🤣.
Yesung & Black suit 🔥
Performing a song called Black Suit in Tan suits is 🤌🤌
SUJU!!! Thank you!! Heechul can't always be there because of his leg and his schedule, but we understand, he's very much still part of SJ and I hope to see him on the SS10 (hope they come to Europe! as well) SS= Super Show - SJ concert. I think they do have a backing track, but they sing over that. They said that their dancing is not that extravagant so that they can focus on singing live and being able to do it for a long time. The problem is, they are so good sometimes is hard to believe 😅 SJ is always better live!
Siwon (Siwon or Shiwon) always gets the "that's a man" comment, and yes! he is very manly (most of the time). Many people think he's the leader, but he's actually in the maknae line (according to himself) sometimes he's just a little kid running around!
Hey!! that's MY Yesung!! (not Yeesung, but Yesung) he actually got a new album out a few days ago, please check his song It's complicated 💙 In older videos sometimes you can't see him but you can definitely hear him.
You need to see them at an SS they just go running around singing and dancing for like 3 hours, and then they complain they are tired but had fun. The hardest to convince were probably the KRY members, the ballad singers 🤣 the rest of them love dancing around and could do it for longer, especially D&E and Leeteuk (the leader, he has so much energy!!)).
wowww simon nailed it 12:56
ow im surprised simon got the names pretty fast😂
SM loves clones; Dongha and Jeno, Minho and Lucas, Taemin and Jungwoo, Leeteuk and Ten, Max and Winwin….
One thing I love SuJu beside their tallest, they are a crazy group, very very funny!!!
for the name
leeteuk - you say it right. lee-teuk (not took) but in korean it's ee-teuk (silent l)
heechul - he-cheol (not chool)
yesung - ye from yellow, without l + song (like sing a song)
shindong - easy shin-dong
eunhyuk - the eu is not yoo. it's like eu from leeteuk, eu without t & ends with n = eun / hyuk = hyeok (like cheol, song/seong)
or if it's too hard you can call him hyukjae 🤣 it's his real name
donghae - dong+hay/hey
siwon - it's see+won (win>won>won yes that won)
ryeowook - it's the same eo with cheol/song/hyuk + wook (silent w)
kyuhyun - gyoo-hyeon (it's that eo again)
hope this help!
❤
💙
I like SJ hairstyle...I think Eunhyuk should go back to the "Danger" hairstyle...very cool and mature❤
What's the name of the blonde diva because that voice 🔥🔥🔥
His name is ryeowook you can check some of his solo work he has 3 albums. you can check some songs of his songs like 'the little prince', 'i am not over you', 'drunk in the morning', 'hiding words', 'blue bird', 'angel's wing', 'it's okay'. he also have lots of singles and osts
Thank you for sharing and invite everyone to listen to and support the 2024 latest solo album of Yesung, the lead singer of SUPER JUNIOR. MV_ Yesung예성_It’s complicated
😂 you should watch a Super Show. Three songs is nothing, they do three hours on a regular basis.
The most recent was SS9:Half-time, which was this year, and SS9 was last year.
D&E is the dance subunit (Donghae and Eunhyuk) and they are almost constantly doing D&E concerts in between the Super Junior concerts.
Simon seems to be able to navigate his way around the English language fairly competently and have an interest in linguistics so in the off chance that you actually know some ipa here are the members' names roughly transcribed:
Leeteuk = 이특 = [itʰɯk] = ee-took (as in ‘book’)
Heechul = 희철 = [hɰi̯t͜sʰʌl] = hee-chul
Yesung = 예성 = [jiɕʌŋ] = yea-sung
Shindong = 신동 = [ɕintoŋ] = shin-dong
Eunhyuk = 은혁 = [ɯnhjk] = oon-hyuk (‘book’ - ‘about’)
Siwon = 시원 = [ɕiyn] = shee-won
Donghae = 동해 = [toŋhɛ] = dong-heh
Ryeowook = 려욱 = [ɾjuk] = ryee-ook (‘root’)
Kyuhyun = 규현 = [gjhjn] = kyoo-hyun (‘cute’)
Siwon is pronounced like Shiwon or like shewon and Eeteuk is the way to say Leeteuk.
have you reacted to Super Junior's Superman and Crown live?
I think you should they were really amazing!
Super Junior is among rare groups where I enjoy their live performances way way more than their MVs
Unlike EXO or NCT or aespa, Super Junior unfortunately usually didn't seem to have big budget for MVs.. usually their MVs only stood out for emotional reason (sad, funny) not because they were flashy & full of superb CGIs
21:39 stop stealing my biases again!!! but also eunhyuk, heechul and lee teuk adore
SJ are always live. There's been plenty of goofs over the years but they either make it look intentional or just laugh it off and carry on. 3 songs is no big deal for them, their concerts are 3-4 hours.
Heechul has been absent from stage performances for some time now due to the car accident that disabled him. He continued for a long time against medical advice and almost lost the ability to walk. He came back to the stage for SM Town 2024 and has been announced to be a part of the 20th anniversary tour. I hope he doesn't push himself too far again but I'm looking forward to seeing him on stage again.
There's a pronunciation guide playlist on the channel K splash that has most of the members covered if you want to hear it. I've added the missing members.
Leeteuk - ee tuck
Heechul - he choll
Hangeng - han gung - left the group in 2011 following a lawsuit filed in 2009.
Yesung - yeah song
Kangin - kang in - left the group in 2019
Shindong - shin dong
Sungmin - song min - has not officially left the group but has been on hiatus since he got married in 2014
Eunhyuk - un h yock - left SM with Donghae in 2023 to found their own company ODE but still part of SJ.
Siwon - she one
Zhou Mi - jo me - part of SJM which is currently inactive (sort of - D&E got everyone but Henry together for a single recently, they just couldn't call is SJM because that belongs to SM not ODE)
Donghae - dong hey - left SM with Eunhyuk in 2023 to found their own company ODE but still part of SJ.
Ryeowook - (rl)aw oo k - this one is genuinely hard for a lot of english speakers, most of us just say Wookie
Kibum - key bum - left the group in 2009
Kyuhyun - queue h yon - left SM in 2023 to join Antenna but is still part of SJ.
Henry - Henry - part of SJM, left SM in 2018 but no announcement has been made specifically regarding SJM. It's assumed he's no longer part of the unit but that may not be the case as there are multiple SJ members no longer contracted to SM but remain a part of SJ. I guess we'll find out if and when SJM ever makes a true comeback.

Korean names are tricky because there’s no one official way to romanize them… you just gotta listen how they say them or learn the Korean alphabet. But here's a couple pointers on these guys specifically
Leeteuk = eetuk. E like in we without an L. There never an L in Lee. Don’t ask me why they insist on putting it there. the eu sound is tricky because it doesn’t exist in English but it’s a bit like saying you without the y. Or a short oo sound.
Heechul you’re saying just fine.
Yesung = yeh sung. It’s the e is like in yeah, I think you're saying it but more like yee or yi
Shindong is said pretty much how your saying in, is we’re being picky the sh sound is a bit softer, not as hiss-y
Eunhyuk = the same tricky eu sound as in leeteuk and hyak (a as in saw)
Siwon =shiwon (same shi as shindong) and won like the currency or the won in wonwoo
Donghae = donghe. The hae is not hay it's an E like in Elisabeth. Or hell. The same applies to pretty much every ae like taemin or taeyong
Ryeowook = yeo sounds a bit like yawn without an n. The wool does not have a W.
Kyuhyun = same kyu/gyu as in mingyu (there is no separate letter for k and g in Korean, there only ㄱ which is somewhere in between). Then there's the same yawn without an n and an h at the start.
And that’s it. Hopefully that makes sense. It’s really hard to explain, both because some of these sounds don’t exist in English but also because English is the most phonetically inconsistent language on I know. I can’t just write a letter a a letter combo because they can’t be said in so many different ways but instead I have to find a work where that sound exist and the butcher it for the part I need.
Thank you so much for this!! We will do our best to pick this up as soon as we can
