Life is a Box of Music, or in short, LBM, is a blog where five friends have come together to post anything related to music. This includes topics like genres, favourite artists, music news, and even fun covers of popular songs like Kpop, Jpop, R&B etc.
Congratulations to Super Junior (슈퍼주니어) for won their third #1 in MBC's "Show Champion"! The song, "Sexy, Free and Single", comes from their latest album.
However, today's post is not about their new songs, but about their history. Many people thought they started out popular with the song "Sorry Sorry" and remained the same, but a quick search told me that they were quite different. The group originally comprised of 12 then 13 then 12 members again, due to members (Kyuhyun) joining and leaving(Han Geng). Also the hiatus of Kibum (acting), Heechul and Kangin(both national service), led to Super Junior having only 10 members for this album.
Also, I watched a movie which contained exclusive and never-seen-before footage of Super Junior and other artists from S.M. Entertainment. The movie, named "I AM", showed the hardships of training and off-stage personalities of each and every member, from their younger times and teenage years to their debut. I learnt that members Eunhyuk had a passion in dance while Yesung always wanted to sing.
Here's a short promotional video on "I AM":
I'm sure many wish Kpop bands last forever. However, I can only wish them the best and hope they continue bringing music, dance and entertainment as long as they can. Fighting!
