i'm mexican and i can say that super junior is the most loved kpop group in all latin america, not matter what fandom you are in, everyone support them because they always show interest in the latin side, it's a mutual love! Mamacita it's my fav🤣💕 The guy you like in all videos is Siwon! Sorry for my english hahaha.
My recommendations are: - Blacksuit, -Devil -2YAOYAO -Super clap -Burn the Floor If you need more vocal, please check their ballad: Island, Evanesce, Mightnight blue,... specially Raining spell for love (remake ver) is the best hamory. And vocal trio - KRY (of course) Sorry for my bad English
Super junior, Girls' Generation and Bigbang were so superior in their prime time, literally every 2nd gen kpop fans know them, even my mom knows them 😂 their legacies make high standarts for 3rd generation kpop groups. Holy kpop trinity indeed !
The members of Super Junior have never taken themselves too seriously, which you will realize if you watch them on a variety show, like Idol Room or Weekly Idol. They had a concept at one point, but it just faded away as their careers progressed beyond some of the sillier aspects of Kpop. They are all in their mid-30s now, and that's what happens when you get older; life gets simpler. They love making music, they love their fans, and they just want to have fun making music for their fans. I just wish that more Kpop groups could grow older and stay together like this.
Super Junior was originally a project group that will only last for 6months (more or less). They did their best to be permanent in the industry, did well in variety shows and gained fans. They debuted 2006 and was had the world record for most number of members for a Boygroup. They were probably one of the blue print who trainees after them look up. Super Junior fans are called Elfs = ever lasting friends. They were the most loyal and biggest fans before EXO-Ls and Armies(no shade).
Oh my god i'm gonna write an essay for you 1. Bonamana is a korean word means "absolutely" 2. No other just another side of super junior cause they have a lot 3. SFS was iconic because it was so futuristic,and for the ones who shirtless in No other,Bonamana adn SFS all were different people 4. Mamacita was made for their latin fanbase which is HUGE, the meaning of the song was deeper cause it was about their title as hallyu king,the drama version of that MV was about stolen crown that finally return to the owner,but they put a little comedy here and there 5. Why we lost some members in Lo siento? Because Super Junior keep releasing new music even though some members absent or went on military. Here in 2018 we only had 7 members cause 2 main vocalist on military and the other 2 were on hiatus that time because of personal issue. Also Sorry Sorry was the last album with 13 members because after that they went to military service Yes that's it, you should check more about super junior Oh and Kyuhyun is a soloist but still in the group and all members now are still single (except Sungmin, he is married now but no kids)
Glad I’m not going to be the one commenting like this and pointed things out especially the controversial Mamacita. It really is nice for the reactors to react first to a guide videos before they deep dive groups especially the older generations.
Fun fact: Bonamana and SNSD's OH went against each other for GDA Album of the Year way back 2010 in which SNSD won it. In 2011 Mr Simple vs The Boys for album of the Year, in which Super Junior won. The level of competition between these two groups is extremely high! Yet, they are so close and treat each other as siblings.
Yeah! Hope Sir Austin can react to their interactions. Their interactions I dare to say is like most natural among K-pop idols. They bicker, mock, exposed each other a lot 🤣
I used to see them like that too, until I saw Kyuhyun not doing anything while his co-hosts were harassing Jessica. 😓 I was a huge ELF way back Sorry Sorry era. My first Kpop songs were both Sorry Sorry and Gee. But that incident involving Kyuhyun and SNSD was a huge turn off for me for SuJu. Nowadays, I still love and sometimes listen to their older songs, but I totally stopped stanning them and now I do not listen to most of their latest songs.
2011 was a great year for both groups, though, especially at the MAMAs: Best Male Group: Super Junior Best Female Group: SNSD Album of the Year: Super Junior, for “Mr. Simple” Artist of the year: SNSD
@@bearic_o Don't blame Kyuhyun for that because there wasn't much he could say being the youngest co-host. He apologized to her right after the broadcast and she forgave him. Being in a family doesn't mean everything is perfect all the time. Sometimes someone messes up. Radio Star is a gossip show where they try to get the stars to spill things they probably shouldn't, and over time that atmosphere got to Kyuhyun and he decided not to return as a host after his military service, even though he was invited back. Just because of the persona they were expecting him to portray. Kyuhyun likes to joke and tease, especially to people he's close to, but only when they laugh with him. If he knows it's too much, he'll stop immediately and not do it again.
For Mamacita, the influence is a film genre called spaghetti western, where the acting was so over the top and ridiculous stories. As a Hispanic I was not offended by anything in it. In fact I never even considered anything could be construed as offensive. Super Junior has paid tribute to their Latin American fans many times and they are very beloved in many countries there. They even did a cover and video remake (complete with horrible 80's fashion and wigs, plus feat. Yuri of SNSD) of one of the most popular Mexican songs ever, Ahora Te Puedes Marchar by Luis Miguel. For Lo Siento, 1 member left the group, 1 was on hiatus, and 2 were in the military. The blonde is Yesung, and in the early videos he stayed in the background a lot as he had been told his looks weren't that great. In No Other he is the guy with the balloons. He just released a solo album, Beautiful Night, which is so heavenly to listen to.
Yes, Suju has their own label. Some members have been on hiatus with the group for yrs so there are less active members in the newer releases, not to mention, there were several yrs where there was always members in the military, but now all the members are all done. I suggest reacting to Devil. The choreo for that one is one of my favs. I actually like the performance mv more than the original one lol.
shirtless-ness use to be a style trend in male kpop groups in the 2005 - 2010 ish era, where on member would have their chest, abs or back exposed. also Siwon is always the easiest to learn first because he almost always starts the song (he started all of these).
I’ve seen suju (super junior) live and let me just tell you they’re the most FUN group YOULL ever see, SO ENERGETIC, INTERACTIVE AND POWERFUL VOCALS!! they’re incredibly popular in the Middle East region too!! Even my non kpop friends know them 🤌🏼 that’s just goes to show their impact in the industry
"This man is gorgeous!/sir, who is this ?/this one in the middle is so handsome" Literally the visuals in SM 🤣 always attracting people. He's Choi Siwon, the visual and face of the group of SUJU. Also known as the bank of SUJU because he's filthy rich
The irony with “this is old, they’re probably married with kids now”, and how the only married member got boycotted out and dating news always ends up in scandals for them 🥲
@@SirAustin please react super junior - gee cover by snsd ua-cam.com/video/sey7rYIOblQ/v-deo.html This is my favorite cover, I swear it's so funny every time I watch it
I'm latin and I did not felt offended actually it was really fun to watch. They are really popular in latin america and we love them. They tour a lot of latin american countries. React to the mamacita album is one of the best.
Super Junior is just legendary even if people don't give them enough recognition now. They literally are the Hallyu Kings, they still existing after about what? +15 years? And yes, they're loved by latinamerican fans! Please react to Black Suit, Devil and It's You, pleeeaseeee
Glad you're enjoying Suju! I gotta recommend "Devil" next because it's one of my favorite K-pop songs of all time. Definitely watch the performance MV instead of the regular MV. It's fun to watch them just radiate confidence and have a good time.
Suju KRY is the vocal lines. Check them out.top notch. Yesung' soundtrack is the only soundtrack promoted in music bank as far as i knew. Kyuhun and Ryewook are respected solo artist themselves.
@@SirAustin they’re literally one of kpop blueprints. Feel free to stan them because kpop grannies and aunties died stanning them and only being a fan is also the cure
Choi Siwon!!! Just perfect Choi Siwon!! Part of SM’s passionate group: Siwon, Yunho, Minho and Suho (?), according to Heechul. I feel Siwon is the leader… hahaha
To me: There are two types of mad ✨passion✨ in SM. (Disclaimer: I don't mean that as in you're either this and only that, nothing else type at all. It's just more one of the main characteristics I think differ between 'em, nothing bad at all and I don't mean that "one is better than the other" or anything like that. I love 'em all ❤️) "The explosive hyper athletic physical one with no chill" and the "business ceo & I want to help bettering the world and I could probably take over it if I wanted, and being very political involved". Siwon is def the leader of "I'm about to make the world a better place and later become president of KR type". Yunho is the leader of the other explosive passion with no chill 😂 Minho is in both but a little more in the Yunho camp imo and Suho is more in the Siwon category, and I'd like to add in Jaemin from NCT in there too. 😄 (He got scouted doing volunteer work and have been working a lot with Siwon as well with UNICEF, traveling to countries doing work, meeting the queen of Belgium with the sk president and all that kind of stuff) We stan the passion squad 👌👌
I really love Super Junior, and thanks for your reaction, Super Junior is the best kpop grup for me, their talent is insane, that's why they still active after 15 years, true legend...
No other is my favourite live performance of them simply because they always look happy when they performed it. Like not much thinking about choreography and such, they're soooo cute 💕
Hi Austin, i think you will like their song and mv “evanesce”. It has great vocals with no vocal effects and the mv is probably their most beautiful one
Thank for reacting to all these!! SuJu is honestly the best and got me into Kpop and all the members are really amazing and talented! A lot of the big boy groups in kpop today were modeled after older gen groups like SJ so it's great to know and cheer for them! Plus they're still together which is amazinggg! Love your reactions as always!
Super junior is one of the very rare bands that still do harmonies during choruses and such. It's sadly not that common anymore and many bands can't even sing multi-voiced anymore
Super Junior is my first idol who paved the way of EXO to me. SuJu will always have a special part in my heart. I suddenly want to marathon again all their MVs. Btw, I love Mamacita and No Other!!
At 2nd generation of Kpop, all of kpopers know that Bigbang is the king of kpop, but Suju is THE King of Halyu at 2nd generation of Kpop. LEGEND! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
@@aiena2305 oh sorry, didn't mean to forget tvxq. because for me they are on a different level, and certainly higher. As SM stand, of course i love tvxq so much! 😍 I compare Bigbang and Suju because I think they are equal. and in their generation along with other equal groups, then the answer is indeed BB and SJ are more at the top (just my opinion). but for tvxq, i always feel they are on a different level haha 😂. It's like tvxq is better and more senior when compared to other second generation groups.. So, yeaah 😂 And also, we all know, that tvxq is the standard for boy group for the second generation, right 🤩
not sure abt better tho--- but Tvxq as senior group is indeed . *Psssttt I believe SuJu with me on this ehehehee....[siblings rivalry guyss, always mocking each other LoL]
They've done almost everything actually.. I think you will like their slow/smooth/ballad songs more (like I do). Please, don't give up on them. They have diverse discography though. And their vocals are definitely top notch. Please check out their MVs below: - U - Marry U (my personal favorite) - It's You - Devil - This is Love (my personal favorite) - Evanesce - Magic - One More Chance - Burn the Floor For live performances, I suggest: - Island - Shining Star - She's Gone - Midnight Blues - Sorry Sorry Answer (KRY) - Dorothy (KRY) FYI, Suju has three main vocals, Kyuhyun, Ryeowook, and Yesung (KRY) and the others are also skillful vocalists. Everyone of them has established career... Note: Suju is the goofiest and craziest idol group out there. Even Jongin said that their humor is out of this planet. And yes they have their own label under SM (LabelSJ).
I'm glad you like some of the songs! Super Junior has been around so long that the lineup has changed a lot with some members leaving or just being in the military. All of them have finished their service so the number of members is unlikely to change for future releases! Some suggestions for some title songs if you want to check out more; - One More Time (Otra Vez) is featuring a Mexican band Reik - U (one of my personal favorite songs by them) - Black Suit - Devil Just a heads up, Super Junior ballads hit different if you ever want to do a dive into their HUGE discography (their most recent comeback 2YA2YAO1 was their 9th album repackage!!)
FINALLY!!! 😭💙😭💙😭 if you want to explore more of their vocals, you can react to their ballads and also to KRY unit songs. Please react also to super generation interactions , you'll love them! 🥺💙❤
That guy you can't recognize on lo siento is Yesung, main vocalist, while that guy you keep noticing is Choi Siwon, visual and center. Anw, they performed Lo Siento in SMTOWN with Irene. You should check it sir Austin!
Choi Si Won is Mr Gorgeous. Wealthy family, impeccable English, actor. He acted in She was Pretty, and definitely was noticeable! Especially in only a towel wrapped around his hips. He he.
Their songs ‘Evanesce’ & ‘Sorry Sorry - Answer’ are slower & I think you’d really like them. Showcases their vocals beautifully. They have such a wide range of music though, & a huge Latin fan base (they did a cover of Luis Miguel’s ‘Ahora Tu Puedes Marcher’ which is beautiful & the MV is so entertaining.)
In Lo Siento's MV the blond boy you were wondering who is, your name is Yesung he's known for his angel voice, and for sure he's one of the most unique voices I've ever heard, quite hoarse and low, but powerful. Most of the members have solo works and subgroups that are worth listening to. The super junior is the liveliest and craziest group you'll ever meet, get ready to fall in love with these old gentlemen.
Buzz Feed : Would You Rather, After Mom sleeping and SNL of SuJu episodes...EHB... Knowing Brother of SuJu epids.[100 & 200], Idol Room, ...so much more....true they are the most hilarious ..besides Shinwa, Imo
Of course the vocals are insane, Super Junior is an OG group from SM Entertainment, so you shouldn't expect any less. Plus, Super Junior has the 3 best vocalists -- Kyuhyun (the member you recognized from some of his solo work), Ryeowook and Yesung -- who make up the sub-unit Super Junior-K.R.Y. Super Junior-K.R.Y. is the industry's very first sub-unit and they are a ballad unit who have an unbelievable vocal range. Kyuhyun, Ryeowook and Yesung are the vocal standard in the industry, who set the bar that all other vocalists are measured against. But as an SM group, all the members of Super Junior are amazing singers -- even their rappers have been known to fill in as a main vocalist on occasion. Super Junior has 3 main/lead rappers -- Eunhyuk, Shindong and Heechul -- but they are all amazing singers as well. The more you follow SM Entertainment groups, you will soon discover that all of SM's rappers were actually chosen to become trainees for their vocal and/or dancing skills. Therefore, all of SM's artists are amazing vocalists -- being great rappers is just a bonus. Super Junior debuted Nov. 6, 2005, so after more than 15 years, Super Junior has done pretty much every genre of music. SuJu are never afraid to experiment with their sound or style and they are known for coming up with original concepts and setting trends. And because the group is so diverse, with so many unique members (at their peak they had 15 members), this allows them to be able to do almost anything. They are the founders of the Hallyu Wave for a reason. There is almost nothing in the Kpop industry that SuJu hasn't had a hand in creating. Their discography includes 10 full length albums, numerus repackaged albums, and a multitude of mini albums. Plus, they have 5 sub-units -- Super Junior-K.R.Y. (made up of Kyuhyun, Ryeowook and Yesung -- SJ's main vocalists), Super Junior-D & E (made up of Donghae and Eunhyuk), Super Junior-T (Trot -- which is like a cross between the equivalent of western old-style country music and cabaret music. It's older-style Korean pop music that's all about being kind of cheesy, fun and over the top.), Super Junior-M (Mandarin Chinese) and Super Junior-H (Happy). And they have 13/12 members in total, and most of them also have solo tracks and albums. So yes, they have plenty of songs to check out, as well as numerous live performances and concert footage. Super Junior was the first group to ever hold 100 concerts back in 2014, and there have been dozens more since then. So, I don't think you will run out of Super Junior things to watch for a very long time. LOL Super Junior are so influential in the industry that SM gave them their own record label -- Label SJ -- which is under SM Entertainment, but also more independent, so they are able to collaborate with other Kpop artists outside of SM and even non-Kpop artists such as Latin artists like Reik and Leslie Grace. The members range in age from 38-31.That's why they have a more mature and classy look and feel to their most recent MVs and songs and that's why you often see them dressed in suites. They are all men, not boys. LOL. But as you will soon discover, they are one of the most unique groups when it comes to the dynamics of the members personalities -- they truly are fun, crazy, over the top and aren't afraid to just let their freak flag fly when they interact with each other. They truly are a group of brothers that have been together for so many years that nothing is off limits and they don't hide their true selves from the cameras. LOL If you saw the behind the scenes of these videos, for example, you probably would have seen them all making fun of each other and swearing and just generally acting crazy like a bunch of teenage boys. SJ are legends in the industry and they have paved the way for almost everything you see in the Kpop industry today. They set the standard for how Kpop is promoted around the world. They are also the first group to have serious roles in all the other entertainment industries -- setting the standard on how a Kpop star branches out into all parts of the industry. They are not only singers and dancers but members are musicians, composers, songwriters, lyricists, music and video producers, TV and movie actors, stage actors, models, radio DJs/ hosts, variety show hosts/MCs, authors, etc. Pretty much anything we think of as a standard part of the Kpop industry was created because of them. They were the first Kpop group to have non-Korean members, the first group to have dedicated sub-units and the first Kpop group to have a sub-unit that focused on producing songs in Mandarin for the Chinese audience.
In my opinion, super junior perform their songs better in their concert/live version than the studio version. It's because their concerts/performances showcase their talents n skills in live singing n live performance. They can be charismatic, sexy, cool, goofy in their concerts. Actually, they also miss doing concerts, that's why they had planned to have concerts in Korea this coming September, but because of the worsening cases of covid in Korea, sadly they had to cancel that plan. I'd like to recommend their latest performance video: Burn The Floor, the song and the music, and not to mention the choreography, are interesting, I don't think no kpop group has that kind of music n choreography.
They got A LOT , i mean 700 songs on their discography so i believe you'll find MORE bops. You should react to - BURN THE FLOOR perf video (PLS THIS IS PURE ART, YOU NEED TO SEE THIS) - The Crown / Sorry Sorry Answer Live (VOCALS LITERALLY) - Runaway - Blacksuit - Evanesce - 2ya2yao - Ticky Tocky - Shadow Or songs from KRY and D&E subunits, i recommend watching more live stages tho
I love Super Junior (SUJU). EXO are very close to them and SUJU are great sunbaes. They have gone through a lot and I have mad respect for them. SUJU's concert are crazy!! The gorgeous one is Siwon (also the sheriff in Mamacita), the one that you like the voice, that's Ryeowook, one of the main vocalist (10.51). He did a duet with D.O. Oh yeah, and SUJU loves to go shirtless LOL! EXO are loud as a group but Suju is even more louder!
You are absolutely right these 2 groups are the best that Kpop has and the great thing is that they get along very well I really like their music, but I follow Exo more
@@sodabella I don't know if I'm EXO-L. I have been following them for a short time (weeks), but I really like them. I heard another group but it didn't catch me as EXO, but I recognize SUJU's talent. They are also cute and my age hehehe
These were jams back in the day man. Memories especially Bonamona and no other. Sexy free and single is a single person's anthem lol Eunhyuk + Donghae still kill it everytime for me. Shindong I just can't such a dance machine 🥰
If you decide to react to a super junior guide, I highly recommend the guide of 'ikhouvanhalu'. I've seen every suju guide out there and honestly that guide is the best and the most updated. It has 2 parts. The first part introduces the group (history, facts, achievements, talents and song recommendations). The second part goes more in depth about the individual members.
I found this channel looking for Super Junior reactions and ended up falling in love with EXO all over again after years of being out of the fandom, so thank you for that. It was lovely to get a reminder of why they meant (still mean) so much to me. In one of your EXO videos you mentioned liking kpop boys in suits. SJ had a couple of years that I like to think of as their "classy men in classy suits" era, so here's my SJ recommendations for a Classy Suits marathon: Devil, Black Suit, This Is Love and Evanesce. Devil has a performance-only video and a much more "conceptual" regular mv, both are excellent but for purposes of this "classy suits" concept I suggest the regular video. Black Suit came out when two of their lead singers were in the army, so you get to hear more of the voices you don't otherwise hear as often. And This Is Love/Evanesce are a matched pair, two totally different songs filmed on the same set with the same costumes, directed by one of the members (Shindong). I don't know if it was the intent, but the two videos feel like a really beautiful metaphor for the beginning and end of a relationship, and are really best watched together, in that order. SJ has TONS of other stuff - not even getting into their live performances or all the special projects over the years - but I'll stop there before I write you a ten page essay lol. Thanks for giving the weird old men of kpop a chance :D
30:31 yes! SJ right now has their own "label" but still belong to SM. It's because how legendary they are that even SM decided to give them their own label where they are now "freely" to do what they want! 😊
Latin ELF loved "Lo siento" so much that it became the first song by a Kpop group to enter the Latin Billboard, but not the only one, as they later released "otra vez" with Reik :)
The 1st member who left was the Chinese member Hangeng who changed the entire kpop industry by being the first non-Korean foreign idol. It was illegal at the time for him to appear on TV so he had to wear a mask but Heechul was sick of it so he threw his mask off on stage. Korea then changed its laws from there. He eventually left because of SM's racism. The 2nd member who left was Kibum who was more interested in acting. The 3rd member who left was Kangin, the guy at 19:44, due to his DUIs and crashing into objects. The 4th member who left was Sungmin because his marriage was deemed a scandal and Korean fans spread rumors about his behavior towards other fans which were false. In this list of videos, Mamacita was the last time you see Kangin & Sungmin. In Lo Siento, the 2 youngest members Kyuhyun & Ryeowook were still doing their military services. Heechul doesn't take part in the dancing due to multiple injuries.
YAYYYY EXO, BigBang and SuJu are my favsss. Some recommendations: -U -This is love -Black suit -Devil Super Junior KRY- Dorothy Super Junior M- Super Girl ❤
omg yes, please react to more of their stuff 🥺 my recommendations are: black suit and devil. for more softer ones, "evanesce" and "miracle" (it's beautiful, you'll love it). fyi they have a HUGE fanbase in latam, they always come here because the fans are loud and "intense". in the smtown in chile in 2019 everyone, and i say EVERYONE was singing and dancing to their songs, even if they hadn't come to see them.
They do (did more so back then) have a "vocal/dance line". Bonamana live stages are spicy. Yes, Kyuhyun, ballad king. Hope you react to his solo projects in the future. OMG 🤣 Yes Siwon is the same guy you keep on noticing on all 4 videos. I want to say they wanted to use like the wild west for the Mamacita MV and some spanish influence with the bullfighter, I personally love the vocal build up at the bridge and the after adlibs by Kyuhyun and Ryeowook Yes they have their own label. During Lo Siento, 2 members, the youngest, were in the military.
OMG YES! I've been waiting for you to react to SuJu for so long! -Sorry Sorry, Bonamana, and Mr. Simple are part of a trio of sounds called "SJ Funky" that the CEO of SM coined for that period of time as a sound unique to them. -The shirtless guy in "Bonamana" is Leeteuk, our angel leader. He's also the one that won't hesitate to strip, either. Lol -They do indeed have a vocal line! The best one in kpop! You should absolutely react to them: Super Junior-KRY. They are a ballad group, but sometimes they will sing more upbeat songs. I recommend seeing their performance of "Sorry Sorry Answer" and "Home," or the "When We Were Us" MV. - I think they really are saying "bingo," and I'm not sure if they know it's "mingle" or whether they just know it differently. -Kyuhyun, Ryeowook, Yesung, and Sungmin all have solo albums if you want to check them out :) -In Lo Siento, there are 7 members in the video, but only 6 are dancing because Heechul can't do the choreography due to a car accident he had back in 2006. He only comes out to do a line here or there in live performances or isn't there at all. Also, two of the members were in the military, and two were on hiatus at the time. One because he got married back in 2014 (and the fans were mad about it) and he hasn't been back since (we're still waiting), and the other had a second DUI scandal, so he was put on hiatus and then eventually left voluntarily in 2019. I hope you check out more of them soon! They're really amazing vocally, performance-wise, and variety masters! OH! You mentioned about SM interactions and Chen went on Kyuhyun's show and did a duet with him, which you might like: ua-cam.com/video/ltGoPJSFuRw/v-deo.html
Super junior is always evolving. I think I love them now so much more if that’s possible. Ever since they started sj label they have been more involved in the creative process from writing, choreographing, directing their own mv and even concerts. They are so freakin talented and super super fun. They’re actors, singers, hosts and were pioneers in all of that. We love them in Latin America, I’m from México and they have collabed with Reik, a Mexican band and also done a cover from on of our most iconic artists song. You should check out more because they are always evolving. I think you would love super junior kry (sujus top vocalists, even though they all are) or their solo songs. Also my favorite ballads are from the,. They just have a way of harmonizing that take my breath away. Thanks for supporting them!!
3:17 He is siwon. Choi siwon. He is a great actor, and he is so involved with unisef to help children and 😂one of the member who can buy whole sm by himself alone.
OMG HAHAHAHA you reacted to my ult group before I got into EXO! Super Junior opened the gateway to K-Pop for a lot of people back in 2008-2012 hahaha. Honestly I was not really into their songs (esp not their title tracks up to 2012) but they have some very good B-sides. Their ballads are some of the best even to this day, imo. Super Junior is still one of the funniest, if not the funniest group in K-Pop, they also have the best vocal line in K-Pop to me. I still occasionally follow them until today but yeah I kinda drifted apart ever since one of my biases got married and the situation made him kinda disappear from SJ's promotions. Anyway, I'm happy you decided to check them out. As a vocal coach I'm very sure you will fall for their vocal line, it's just soooo good hahaha (I will come and edit my comment again later after I watch your reaction haha)
Thank you for reacting to more Super Junior! I'm not a Stan, but they defintely reserve respect and often are overlooked by other reactors. I recommend Devil, it's you, Spy, Swings and evanesce
I screamed so much when I saw the notification that I got out of bed very quickly just to see your reaction to Super Junior, OMG I have waited for it for so long, you just made me the happiest woman in the world. Thank you for this.
"Bonamana" and "No Other" are part of the same album which was released in 2010, so at this time Super Junior was an 11 member group. This was after Hangeng left and Kibum was busy with his acting career. However, there are only 10 members in these MVs because KangIn was serving in the military at this time. You see Siwon, Heechul, Sungmin, Kyuhyun, Eunhyuk, Shindong, Donghae, Yesung, Ryeowook and Leeteuk. The guy with his shirt open in "Bonamana" was the leader Leeteuk who is a lead vocalist. However, the member with his shirt open in "No Other" was Eunhyuk who is the main dancer and main rapper. There were 3 versions of this Album, "Bonamana" was their title track from Version A of the album. Version B included behind the scenes photos and Version C was their repackaged album that included their lead track "No Other." That is why the two MVs are so different from one another. Fun fact: The dance move in "Bonamana" where they lean forward and swing their arm has been nicknamed the bowling dance because the move looks like the stance a bowler takes as they throw the ball down the lane. :D The English lines in "Sexy Free and Single" are unfortunately another one of SuJu's tragically funny/cringy uses of English. It would have made much more sense if they had said, "Sexy Free and Single and ready to mingle" However, what they actually say is: "Sexy Free and Single and ready to, Bingo!" Which only sort of makes sense LOL -- "mingle" would have made so much more sense in the context of the song. (It's similar to Shindong's line in "Mamacita" where he says "Close your lips, shut your tongue." However, if they had a better grasp on English, they would have known that in English we would say "close your lips, hold your tongue." Or, the could have even said " ... stop your tongue." LOL) In "Sexy Free and Single" there are only 10 members in this MV because Heechul is serving in the military at this time. Heechul served in the military 2011-13 and this MV was from 2012. :D This was the first MV where we see KangIn back after he was released from the military. KangIn served 2010-12. So he had only been back for 3 or 4 months. Eunhyuk, the rapper, is the guy with the dark hair and the sunglasses on in "Sexy Free and Single." The blond who you thought looked like Eunhyuk was Sungmin who is a lead vocalist.
You absolutely should react to Suju's "Sorry, Sorry Answer" which is an R&B classic! The MV has all 13 original members in classic suits. The beginning adlibs of the song is sang by Yoo Young Jin, D.O.'s former vocal coach.
Oh my GODDD i'm so excited for almost 40 minutes of SuJu, thank you Austin!! ♡ So the guy you find attractive is Siwon, the guy you like the voice is Ryeowook and the guy you reconized is Kyuhyun (you also said you find him cute in a SNSD video) 14:56 it's kyuhyun, he is harmonizing with himself 30:54 the reason is: military service (but finally in 2019 the maknae, kyuhyun, was the last member to complete he's service) but also the group started with 13 members but 3 left and 1 is "suspended"? idk how to say in english, he still officially in the group but he don't participate in the activities since 2014 for a unfair reason. Anyway, I glad you liked them, they are very respect among the idols by being good and respectful seniors. Hope you watch more of them, they are really crazy in the best way.
Also, after all this years of being a K-pop stan my top 3 favourite voices in K-pop hasn't changed at all. It always has been (and will be) Kyuhyun, Onew(Jinki) and D.O (Kyungsoo)
The blonde guy in Lo Siento is the same guy with 'skeleton' jacket you liked in Sexy,Free and Single. His name is Yesung ( main vocalist) ...he has like one of the most hauntingly beautiful ,heart wrenching and soul piercing voices in the Korean music industry. He is very emotive ...I think you might like him cause his voice is of a husky, raspy quality and able to reach very high register which is quite uncommon. I recommend his solo albums , various duets, drama OSTs and K.R.Y subunit songs cause he is one of the members .
As an international fan, I can say that Super Junior are the ones who got me into kpop in 2011-2012. We can't deny that they were one of the top groups who spread Kpop internationaly. They have been in the industry for 15years! And still going strong and yes they have their own label. You should check out their latest MV "House Party". It's like the new anthem for quarantine 😂 That gorgeous man in "No Other" and with the abs on "S,F&S", and the one in the middle in "Mamacita" is Choi Siwon, my first ever bias 😍. He's a vocalist and the main visual of the group. He's also a very famous actor and UNICEF ambassador. He's always been so busy, that's why sometimes, he'll only be in snippets of the MV (like No Other where he wasn't in the MV choreo). Super Junior has currently 9 active members. So if you see MV with less, it means some of the members were enlisting during that period. They also have a subunit K.R.Y which is the first major subunit in Kpop. It contains the three main vocalists and they do ballads.
Fun Fact: SNSD and Super Junior were like the matching groups during 2nd gen. You'll see SNSD members as female leads on Super Junior MVs (like in No other although they were not seen, in Seoul Song too which was a collab), and then vice versa with SNSD (Donghae on Kissing You MV, Siwon on Hoot MV, etc)
I feel like Mamacita MV was more of based on Old American Wild West movies? Like they were doing a play on how the actors in those films over acted? Idk, that's how I've always interpreted it. But then again, like you mentioned, it was a different time, people weren't as sensitive or aware about this kind of stuff as they are now. There's definitely worse Kpop MVs of the past that would not fly today. I don't think you need to think too deeply in to this one, I don't think it outwardly offended any Latin Americans. Super Junior actually has quite a large fanbase in Latin America and have toured South America in the past. I think that's why some of their songs have a latin influence.
Super Junior has a lot of fans in Latinamerica and they focused a lot on us. I'm from Argentina and they came to do their show twice, the last time was after Lo siento and Leslie was there as well. After that they also made a song with Reik, that's a latin band, too. And yes, in Lo siento there is just half of the original formation, since the rest of them finish their contracts with SM for different reasons. To me, they are amazing. They used to do a lot of variety shows and we got to know them a little, and they are goofy, silly, funny and all very kind hearted. After all those years, they continue to work really hard to their fans, and that's why they are my favourite kpop group ever
I love that you're taking a look at 2nd gen groups like suju. I've been an elf since 2005. I'm so happy that you get to discover them. They're my ult group til now. 💙💙💙 sapphire blue hearts for you. I suggest you listen to Evanesce and Islands Live. Their vocals are so good. Especially in Sorry Sorry Answer that song is absolute chefs kiss
Super Junior has 700++ songs under their belt with various genre, so choosing favourite is a little hard. But you'll find one for each taste. My recommendation: - One More Chance + Memories + Stars Appears ua-cam.com/video/HdKhk3U0KVU/v-deo.html - Scene Stealer ua-cam.com/video/h97bsxe_ZKs/v-deo.html - Shirts ua-cam.com/video/3h8rvXtrwqw/v-deo.html - Magic ua-cam.com/video/KTmmAUaQsvQ/v-deo.html - I do ua-cam.com/video/xPRuhr1my7I/v-deo.html All from SuperShow 7. Oh with Super Junior their live performances far superior than official mv 💙
For those who may not know a lot about Super Junior, to help you understand how influential and epic Super Junior are: The group was originally created to be a "project group" which meant that SM Entertainment originally put the group together with members who had all different talents within the entertainment industry, as well as singing and dancing. When the group was created they were considered the super rookies of the company so they were given the name Super Junior '05. The original purpose of the group was for the members to get more experience in all aspects of the entertainment industry while they also worked as singers and dancers. For example, Shindong and Eunhyuk were supposed to be training as comedians and hosts, Siwon was an actor, etc. (That is why the members of Super Junior are involved in all aspects of the entertainment industry today.) The original plan was that after about 3 to 6 months, when SM decided the members had gained enough experience, the individual members would graduate from the group and form other groups or move on to other careers within the entertainment industry, etc. and new members would be added to the group. However, Super Junior gained a very large and vocal Korean fandom even before they debuted, and when the fans heard about SM's plan to have the members of Super Junior leave the group, the fans got together and demanded that SM allow Super Junior to stay together. With large scale protests and purchasing enough shares of SM stocks, fans became voting members of SM Entertainment's board of directors and were able to force SM to promise that Super Junior would become a permanent group. E.L.F. (Ever Lasting Friends -- SJ's fandom) are some of the most loyal and vocal of all Kpop fans. Plus, I think one reason why fans were so upset about Super Junior '05's concept was the fact that the members of Super Junior were actually part of a larger group of trainees who the fans had watched go through an elimination process. The members who "made it" where the 5 members who originally became the members of TVXQ, and the members who formed Super Junior '05 were the "castoffs." But fans had already formed a bond with ALL the trainees, so they were upset that the other members who "didn't make it" (Super Junior members) might eventually disappear from the spotlight, etc. When Super Junior first debuted on Nov 6, 2005, they had 12 members, but 6 months later Kyuhyun was added to the group to officially make them a 13 member group. Then in 2008, SM created the very first Mandarin Chinese sub-unit designed to bring Kpop to the Chinese market and they added 2 new members to Super Junior (Zhoumi and Henry) and Super Junior officially became a 15 member group. Henry is Chinese/Taiwanese-Canadian and Zhoumi is native Chinese. However, Zhoumi and Henry were only allowed to be members of Super Junior-M. So, Super Junior is a 13 member group + 2 (Super Junior-M) members. So, technically, Super Junior was "originally" a 15 member group. However, in the same way that the Korean ELF supported Super Junior and forced SM to make them a permanent group, in 2008 when SM announced the addition of Henry and Zhoumi and the creation of Super Junior-M, Korean fans protested yet again. But this time they were against adding any new members to Super Junior. So the Korean fans forced SM, this time, to agree to only make Henry and Zhoumi members of Super Junior's Mandarin sub-unit (they needed more Chinese members to make the Chinese sub-unit work), and they were not allowed to be included in anything to do with the main group of Super Junior. Then in 2010, Hangeng (The industry's very first non-Korean member of a Kpop group -- he is native Chinese) and Kibum left the group and Super Junior became an 11 member group + 2 (Super Junior-M) members. In 2018 Henry left SM Entertainment, but he never officially left Super Junior. Now, before someone says "Henry is not a part of Super Junior any more," I want to point out that it has never officially been said that Henry has left Super Junior. Yes, he left SM when his contract was up after 10 years, to start his own independent company, but that doesn't necessarily mean he left the group. So many true fans are holding out hope that this means he still may collaborate with SJ on projects in the future. (He is still living and working in Korea and he is still in contact with all the SJ members, etc.) After all, the 3 members of Girls Generation who left SM have said they would like to do something similar in the future. All three members of Girls Generation have said just because they left SM, doesn't mean they left the group.That's why when Girls Generation made their most recent comeback they did it as a sub-unit Oh!GG, because they weren't the full group. And even Taecyeon from 2PM left JYP Entertainment, but his new company has partnered with JYP to allow Taecyeon to continue activities with 2PM. And Ravi from VIXX left JellyFish Entertainment, but he has continued activities with his group. So, it looks more promising all the time that if Henry ever wanted to do something with SJ again, he could. After all, Henry is one of Lee SooMan's (SM's) favorite people. (Even though SM may have never allowed Henry to reach his full potential under them, which is part of the reason why he left the company. But I don't think there was any bad blood between them when he left, and he has always been one of SM's most prized artists for the amount of talent he has.) Then in 2019, KangIn officially left Super Junior, and now they have 10 members + 2 (Super Junior-M) members. However, currently they have 9 active members. Sungmin decided to take a hiatus from the group in 2017 because of Korean fans' protest over him getting married. And now after almost 4 years, even though he had his solo debut in 2019, he has still not done any activities with Super Junior. Zhoumi renewed his contract with SM in 2018, so he is still an "active" member of Super Junior, however, because of the political issues between China and Korea, Zhoumi had not done anything with Super Junior for almost 6 years. However, in 2020 Zhoumi released a new song "I'll Be There" with SM, and more specifically, under Super Junior's label -- Label SJ -- and it features Kun and Xiaojun from WayV. And, even more exciting, is the fact that, for the first time in a long time, Zhoumi came back to Korea in 2020 and he actually worked with Super Junior again. Zhoumi and Ryeowook (one of SuJu's main vocalists and a member of Super Junior-M) have a new song called "Starry Night" and they have a Korean and Chinese version. Zhoumi is an actor, model, author, lyricist and songwriter/producer, etc. in China. If it wasn't for all the political issues he probably would have been in Korea working with Super Junior this whole time. But because he is only a member of Super Junior-M and they aren't active right now because they were unable to promote in China, Zhoumi has been doing other things with his career. So, as you can see, depending on the time period you will see a wide fluctuation in the number of members who are included in each of their songs, MVs and activities. Because they have such a large group with such a wide range of ages, the number of members have fluctuated over the years as the members have all taken their turns serving in the military, because of injury, and controversies that have caused some members to take time off, etc.
Yes "Bonamana" is the sound of 2nd Gen SM -- most of the tracks from this time were penned and produced by one guy, Yoo Young-jin. I am a fan of his work, and probably my favorite is "One Day One Chance" for Max Changmin. He has a great sense of drama. But they have wisely diversified since then. He's still around, he's the force behind aespa's "Black Mamba"
Austin, I have been waiting for all of the You Tubers to find the groups that inspired so many others. Thank you so much for heading down the SuJu hole. They have a huge catalog, and I can't wait to see what else you find. I started listening to KPOP in 2008, so SUJU and then SHINee, along with Big Bang and TVXQ took up a lot of my time
Hi Austin! You are lucky, because SuperJunior have many songs in the same style as "No Other", songs where the vocalists shine. I recommend: "Sorry, sorry - Answer", "Simply beautiful", "You got it". Also the hits, "This is love", "Devil", "Black suit", Some of the members who debuted are no longer in the group and the latest albums are missing those who joined the military. SUJU stand out for their variety, they have published songs of all styles. Various components are common in TV shows and dramas.
SUJU started my kpop journey. My HS classmate who seats in front of me, she had this folder which she puts behind her back, it has the pic of all SuJu members, i always see it, so one day, I went and ask her who they are and the rest is history. And here I am, 13 years after. I'm glad I was able to watch SS7, it was the last concert I went before this pandemic happened.
Suju, just like EXO has a vocal trio - KRY (Kyuhyun, Ryeowook, Yesung). Kyuhyun ranked no. 1 as the best vocalist in kpop.
Spill
🔥
I’m starting to realize SM likes naming their vocal subunits based on their initials lol. We have KRY for Suju, TTS for SNSD, and CBX for EXO.
@@Lena-zn4re Hmmm. I don't think that's exactly the case for EXO... Chen, Baekhyun and DO are the main vocals.
@@yixingswife1380 True, but I mean, Jessica was the 2nd main vocalist, Tiffany and Seohyun were considered to be lead vocalists.
i'm mexican and i can say that super junior is the most loved kpop group in all latin america, not matter what fandom you are in, everyone support them because they always show interest in the latin side, it's a mutual love!
Mamacita it's my fav🤣💕
The guy you like in all videos is Siwon!
Sorry for my english hahaha.
I second this haha
Indeed
SJ was one of the first kpop groups that came to Mexico and noticed us Latin American fans. We appreciate that
¡A huevo que sí!
Fam, don't apologize for your English, yours is good. I mean some people can't even speak more than one language, so being bilingual is superior.👌
My recommendations are:
- Blacksuit,
-Devil
-2YAOYAO
-Super clap
-Burn the Floor
If you need more vocal, please check their ballad: Island, Evanesce, Mightnight blue,...
specially Raining spell for love (remake ver) is the best hamory. And vocal trio - KRY (of course)
Sorry for my bad English
Yes actually their live stages from ss6 are legendary
+1
UP
uppp
I agree ❤️
- One more time
- U
- This is love
ALSOOOOOOOO 🔥
Choi siwon is the center of the group.Once Lee Soman said "no matter where Yoona(snsd) and Siwon goes are meant to be visual and center"
Super Junior actually has huge career in Latin America
Yess they even have a full South American tour and it was so huge
Super junior, Girls' Generation and Bigbang were so superior in their prime time, literally every 2nd gen kpop fans know them, even my mom knows them 😂 their legacies make high standarts for 3rd generation kpop groups. Holy kpop trinity indeed !
Ehem 2ne1
Ummm...excuse me? TVXQ!?
@@aiena2305 TVXQ is 1st Gen. don’t preach
@@healtheworldforabetterplace Well, if you look up online you'll find that 2nd gen started with TVXQ.
This is why 2nd gen fans and just old kpop fans in general are multi-stans because there were just SO many talented groups 😩
The members of Super Junior have never taken themselves too seriously, which you will realize if you watch them on a variety show, like Idol Room or Weekly Idol. They had a concept at one point, but it just faded away as their careers progressed beyond some of the sillier aspects of Kpop. They are all in their mid-30s now, and that's what happens when you get older; life gets simpler. They love making music, they love their fans, and they just want to have fun making music for their fans. I just wish that more Kpop groups could grow older and stay together like this.
Super Junior was originally a project group that will only last for 6months (more or less). They did their best to be permanent in the industry, did well in variety shows and gained fans. They debuted 2006 and was had the world record for most number of members for a Boygroup. They were probably one of the blue print who trainees after them look up. Super Junior fans are called Elfs = ever lasting friends. They were the most loyal and biggest fans before EXO-Ls and Armies(no shade).
Oh my god i'm gonna write an essay for you
1. Bonamana is a korean word means "absolutely"
2. No other just another side of super junior cause they have a lot
3. SFS was iconic because it was so futuristic,and for the ones who shirtless in No other,Bonamana adn SFS all were different people
4. Mamacita was made for their latin fanbase which is HUGE, the meaning of the song was deeper cause it was about their title as hallyu king,the drama version of that MV was about stolen crown that finally return to the owner,but they put a little comedy here and there
5. Why we lost some members in Lo siento? Because Super Junior keep releasing new music even though some members absent or went on military. Here in 2018 we only had 7 members cause 2 main vocalist on military and the other 2 were on hiatus that time because of personal issue. Also Sorry Sorry was the last album with 13 members because after that they went to military service
Yes that's it, you should check more about super junior
Oh and Kyuhyun is a soloist but still in the group and all members now are still single (except Sungmin, he is married now but no kids)
Makasih udah jelasin kak Dena
Oeyoooo
Ryeowook isn't, he's dating Ari. They announced it last year.
@@bandotaku ah right, i forgot about that one
Glad I’m not going to be the one commenting like this and pointed things out especially the controversial Mamacita. It really is nice for the reactors to react first to a guide videos before they deep dive groups especially the older generations.
I will always have a soft spot for Suju. They’re goofy and talented. Very relatable. My bias is Leeteuk. He’s the leader.
Fun fact: Bonamana and SNSD's OH went against each other for GDA Album of the Year way back 2010 in which SNSD won it.
In 2011 Mr Simple vs The Boys for album of the Year, in which Super Junior won.
The level of competition between these two groups is extremely high! Yet, they are so close and treat each other as siblings.
Yeah! Hope Sir Austin can react to their interactions. Their interactions I dare to say is like most natural among K-pop idols. They bicker, mock, exposed each other a lot 🤣
I used to see them like that too, until I saw Kyuhyun not doing anything while his co-hosts were harassing Jessica. 😓 I was a huge ELF way back Sorry Sorry era. My first Kpop songs were both Sorry Sorry and Gee. But that incident involving Kyuhyun and SNSD was a huge turn off for me for SuJu. Nowadays, I still love and sometimes listen to their older songs, but I totally stopped stanning them and now I do not listen to most of their latest songs.
2011 was a great year for both groups, though, especially at the MAMAs:
Best Male Group: Super Junior
Best Female Group: SNSD
Album of the Year: Super Junior, for “Mr. Simple”
Artist of the year: SNSD
@@bearic_o Don't blame Kyuhyun for that because there wasn't much he could say being the youngest co-host. He apologized to her right after the broadcast and she forgave him. Being in a family doesn't mean everything is perfect all the time. Sometimes someone messes up. Radio Star is a gossip show where they try to get the stars to spill things they probably shouldn't, and over time that atmosphere got to Kyuhyun and he decided not to return as a host after his military service, even though he was invited back. Just because of the persona they were expecting him to portray. Kyuhyun likes to joke and tease, especially to people he's close to, but only when they laugh with him. If he knows it's too much, he'll stop immediately and not do it again.
@@bandotaku this!! thank you so much for explaining this
For Mamacita, the influence is a film genre called spaghetti western, where the acting was so over the top and ridiculous stories. As a Hispanic I was not offended by anything in it. In fact I never even considered anything could be construed as offensive. Super Junior has paid tribute to their Latin American fans many times and they are very beloved in many countries there. They even did a cover and video remake (complete with horrible 80's fashion and wigs, plus feat. Yuri of SNSD) of one of the most popular Mexican songs ever, Ahora Te Puedes Marchar by Luis Miguel. For Lo Siento, 1 member left the group, 1 was on hiatus, and 2 were in the military. The blonde is Yesung, and in the early videos he stayed in the background a lot as he had been told his looks weren't that great. In No Other he is the guy with the balloons. He just released a solo album, Beautiful Night, which is so heavenly to listen to.
Yes, Suju has their own label. Some members have been on hiatus with the group for yrs so there are less active members in the newer releases, not to mention, there were several yrs where there was always members in the military, but now all the members are all done. I suggest reacting to Devil. The choreo for that one is one of my favs. I actually like the performance mv more than the original one lol.
shirtless-ness use to be a style trend in male kpop groups in the 2005 - 2010 ish era, where on member would have their chest, abs or back exposed.
also Siwon is always the easiest to learn first because he almost always starts the song (he started all of these).
And like, come on! If I had those abs I would also go around shirtless
I’ve seen suju (super junior) live and let me just tell you they’re the most FUN group YOULL ever see, SO ENERGETIC, INTERACTIVE AND POWERFUL VOCALS!! they’re incredibly popular in the Middle East region too!! Even my non kpop friends know them 🤌🏼 that’s just goes to show their impact in the industry
"This man is gorgeous!/sir, who is this ?/this one in the middle is so handsome"
Literally the visuals in SM 🤣 always attracting people. He's Choi Siwon, the visual and face of the group of SUJU. Also known as the bank of SUJU because he's filthy rich
The irony with “this is old, they’re probably married with kids now”, and how the only married member got boycotted out and dating news always ends up in scandals for them 🥲
the man you said that is very attractive is Choi Siwon. He is like the 'suho' in the group and the visual. Rich kid, ceo hahahaha
Guess I have a type….lol.
@@SirAustin please react super junior - gee cover by snsd
ua-cam.com/video/sey7rYIOblQ/v-deo.html
This is my favorite cover, I swear it's so funny every time I watch it
I'm latin and I did not felt offended actually it was really fun to watch. They are really popular in latin america and we love them. They tour a lot of latin american countries. React to the mamacita album is one of the best.
Super Junior is just legendary even if people don't give them enough recognition now. They literally are the Hallyu Kings, they still existing after about what? +15 years? And yes, they're loved by latinamerican fans!
Please react to Black Suit, Devil and It's You, pleeeaseeee
Glad you're enjoying Suju! I gotta recommend "Devil" next because it's one of my favorite K-pop songs of all time. Definitely watch the performance MV instead of the regular MV. It's fun to watch them just radiate confidence and have a good time.
Suju KRY is the vocal lines. Check them out.top notch. Yesung' soundtrack is the only soundtrack promoted in music bank as far as i knew. Kyuhun and Ryewook are respected solo artist themselves.
OMG! NO OTHER STILL CAPTURES MY HEART EVERY TIME IT PLAYS.
i loved it!
@@SirAustin they’re literally one of kpop blueprints. Feel free to stan them because kpop grannies and aunties died stanning them and only being a fan is also the cure
Until now its still my favorite kpop song
Choi Siwon!!! Just perfect Choi Siwon!!
Part of SM’s passionate group: Siwon, Yunho, Minho and Suho (?), according to Heechul. I feel Siwon is the leader… hahaha
I think their leader might be Yunho and Siwon is their investor, I think all money related cause he rich AF XD
Siwon is the investor
i believe he mentioned this in exos 3rd appearance in kb hahahaha
To me: There are two types of mad ✨passion✨ in SM.
(Disclaimer: I don't mean that as in you're either this and only that, nothing else type at all. It's just more one of the main characteristics I think differ between 'em, nothing bad at all and I don't mean that "one is better than the other" or anything like that. I love 'em all ❤️)
"The explosive hyper athletic physical one with no chill" and the "business ceo & I want to help bettering the world and I could probably take over it if I wanted, and being very political involved".
Siwon is def the leader of "I'm about to make the world a better place and later become president of KR type".
Yunho is the leader of the other explosive passion with no chill 😂
Minho is in both but a little more in the Yunho camp imo and Suho is more in the Siwon category, and I'd like to add in Jaemin from NCT in there too. 😄
(He got scouted doing volunteer work and have been working a lot with Siwon as well with UNICEF, traveling to countries doing work, meeting the queen of Belgium with the sk president and all that kind of stuff)
We stan the passion squad 👌👌
Sir you should check out Super Junior's Gee cover. Each member has an SNSD counterpart. It was HILARIOUS!!! I SWEAR! BUT THEY NAILED IT!!
I am so glad to have Super junior & girls generation during my teenage years. They’re such great artists, and such kind human beings too
I really love Super Junior, and thanks for your reaction, Super Junior is the best kpop grup for me, their talent is insane, that's why they still active after 15 years, true legend...
No other is my favourite live performance of them simply because they always look happy when they performed it. Like not much thinking about choreography and such, they're soooo cute 💕
THE GUY you keep talking and pointing to as ATTRACTIVE, CUTE, HANDSOME is CHOI SIWON.
If Yoona is the Visual Queen, Siwon is the Visual KING in gen 2.
Hi Austin, i think you will like their song and mv “evanesce”. It has great vocals with no vocal effects and the mv is probably their most beautiful one
Thank for reacting to all these!! SuJu is honestly the best and got me into Kpop and all the members are really amazing and talented! A lot of the big boy groups in kpop today were modeled after older gen groups like SJ so it's great to know and cheer for them! Plus they're still together which is amazinggg! Love your reactions as always!
They are KPOP legends, One of the groups that made me like kpop besides Bigbang and SS501
Super junior is one of the very rare bands that still do harmonies during choruses and such. It's sadly not that common anymore and many bands can't even sing multi-voiced anymore
Super Junior is my first idol who paved the way of EXO to me.
SuJu will always have a special part in my heart.
I suddenly want to marathon again all their MVs.
Btw, I love Mamacita and No Other!!
At 2nd generation of Kpop, all of kpopers know that Bigbang is the king of kpop, but Suju is THE King of Halyu at 2nd generation of Kpop.
LEGEND! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
How does anyone forget TVXQ when it comes to 2nd gen? I'd argue that they are bigger than SUJU although I do love SuJu as well.
@@aiena2305 oh sorry, didn't mean to forget tvxq. because for me they are on a different level, and certainly higher. As SM stand, of course i love tvxq so much! 😍
I compare Bigbang and Suju because I think they are equal. and in their generation along with other equal groups, then the answer is indeed BB and SJ are more at the top (just my opinion).
but for tvxq, i always feel they are on a different level haha 😂. It's like tvxq is better and more senior when compared to other second generation groups..
So, yeaah 😂
And also, we all know, that tvxq is the standard for boy group for the second generation, right 🤩
not sure abt better tho--- but Tvxq as senior group is indeed .
*Psssttt I believe SuJu with me on this ehehehee....[siblings rivalry guyss, always mocking each other LoL]
They've done almost everything actually.. I think you will like their slow/smooth/ballad songs more (like I do). Please, don't give up on them. They have diverse discography though. And their vocals are definitely top notch. Please check out their MVs below:
- U
- Marry U (my personal favorite)
- It's You
- Devil
- This is Love (my personal favorite)
- Evanesce
- Magic
- One More Chance
- Burn the Floor
For live performances, I suggest:
- Island
- Shining Star
- She's Gone
- Midnight Blues
- Sorry Sorry Answer (KRY)
- Dorothy (KRY)
FYI, Suju has three main vocals, Kyuhyun, Ryeowook, and Yesung (KRY) and the others are also skillful vocalists. Everyone of them has established career...
Note: Suju is the goofiest and craziest idol group out there. Even Jongin said that their humor is out of this planet. And yes they have their own label under SM (LabelSJ).
SuJu is my first and introduction to kpop and thanks to them and EXO i stan them together with BTOB. Stan vocals group!
Same my top 3 bias group
I'm glad you like some of the songs! Super Junior has been around so long that the lineup has changed a lot with some members leaving or just being in the military. All of them have finished their service so the number of members is unlikely to change for future releases! Some suggestions for some title songs if you want to check out more;
- One More Time (Otra Vez) is featuring a Mexican band Reik
- U (one of my personal favorite songs by them)
- Black Suit
- Devil
Just a heads up, Super Junior ballads hit different if you ever want to do a dive into their HUGE discography (their most recent comeback 2YA2YAO1 was their 9th album repackage!!)
They already released their 10th album, The Renaissance, with House Party as a title.
Oh my god , a react to Burn the floor!
They already did their 10th album, actually. The latest release is House Party.
You should react to super junior islands live it's a great performance to showcase their vocals
The adlibs in mamacita always get me so pumped
FINALLY. You should try their ballads too. They're so good
Devil is one of my favorite songs by them 🔥 i would suggest the performance video over the actual music video🤷♀️ either way, good song
Psst Austin, listen to It's you by Super Junior as well❤. Oldie but goodie!
Same 🔥
Yes to Devil!
FINALLY!!! 😭💙😭💙😭 if you want to explore more of their vocals, you can react to their ballads and also to KRY unit songs.
Please react also to super generation interactions , you'll love them! 🥺💙❤
That guy you can't recognize on lo siento is Yesung, main vocalist, while that guy you keep noticing is Choi Siwon, visual and center. Anw, they performed Lo Siento in SMTOWN with Irene. You should check it sir Austin!
Unfortunately for us elf they performed with miss drama . I prefer with Leslie and the fantastic Kards girls.
Choi Si Won is Mr Gorgeous. Wealthy family, impeccable English, actor. He acted in She was Pretty, and definitely was noticeable! Especially in only a towel wrapped around his hips. He he.
Their songs ‘Evanesce’ & ‘Sorry Sorry - Answer’ are slower & I think you’d really like them. Showcases their vocals beautifully. They have such a wide range of music though, & a huge Latin fan base (they did a cover of Luis Miguel’s ‘Ahora Tu Puedes Marcher’ which is beautiful & the MV is so entertaining.)
Sorry Sorry - Answer pleasee...

Looking forward to more SuJu reactions! Thanks for this. I know SuJu will grow into you. They are actually the boy counterpart of SNSD. 😁
Just to put out there SuJu is and still the funniest kpop group of all time.
In Lo Siento's MV the blond boy you were wondering who is, your name is Yesung he's known for his angel voice, and for sure he's one of the most unique voices I've ever heard, quite hoarse and low, but powerful. Most of the members have solo works and subgroups that are worth listening to. The super junior is the liveliest and craziest group you'll ever meet, get ready to fall in love with these old gentlemen.
Buzz Feed : Would You Rather, After Mom sleeping and SNL of SuJu episodes...EHB... Knowing Brother of SuJu epids.[100 & 200], Idol Room, ...so much more....true they are the most hilarious ..besides Shinwa, Imo
I hope you'll continue reacting to them! Thank you for the reaction, I'll be waiting for your next Suju reaction
Of course the vocals are insane, Super Junior is an OG group from SM Entertainment, so you shouldn't expect any less. Plus, Super Junior has the 3 best vocalists -- Kyuhyun (the member you recognized from some of his solo work), Ryeowook and Yesung -- who make up the sub-unit Super Junior-K.R.Y. Super Junior-K.R.Y. is the industry's very first sub-unit and they are a ballad unit who have an unbelievable vocal range. Kyuhyun, Ryeowook and Yesung are the vocal standard in the industry, who set the bar that all other vocalists are measured against. But as an SM group, all the members of Super Junior are amazing singers -- even their rappers have been known to fill in as a main vocalist on occasion.
Super Junior has 3 main/lead rappers -- Eunhyuk, Shindong and Heechul -- but they are all amazing singers as well. The more you follow SM Entertainment groups, you will soon discover that all of SM's rappers were actually chosen to become trainees for their vocal and/or dancing skills. Therefore, all of SM's artists are amazing vocalists -- being great rappers is just a bonus.
Super Junior debuted Nov. 6, 2005, so after more than 15 years, Super Junior has done pretty much every genre of music. SuJu are never afraid to experiment with their sound or style and they are known for coming up with original concepts and setting trends. And because the group is so diverse, with so many unique members (at their peak they had 15 members), this allows them to be able to do almost anything. They are the founders of the Hallyu Wave for a reason.
There is almost nothing in the Kpop industry that SuJu hasn't had a hand in creating.
Their discography includes 10 full length albums, numerus repackaged albums, and a multitude of mini albums. Plus, they have 5 sub-units -- Super Junior-K.R.Y. (made up of Kyuhyun, Ryeowook and Yesung -- SJ's main vocalists), Super Junior-D & E (made up of Donghae and Eunhyuk), Super Junior-T (Trot -- which is like a cross between the equivalent of western old-style country music and cabaret music. It's older-style Korean pop music that's all about being kind of cheesy, fun and over the top.), Super Junior-M (Mandarin Chinese) and Super Junior-H (Happy). And they have 13/12 members in total, and most of them also have solo tracks and albums. So yes, they have plenty of songs to check out, as well as numerous live performances and concert footage. Super Junior was the first group to ever hold 100 concerts back in 2014, and there have been dozens more since then. So, I don't think you will run out of Super Junior things to watch for a very long time. LOL
Super Junior are so influential in the industry that SM gave them their own record label -- Label SJ -- which is under SM Entertainment, but also more independent, so they are able to collaborate with other Kpop artists outside of SM and even non-Kpop artists such as Latin artists like Reik and Leslie Grace.
The members range in age from 38-31.That's why they have a more mature and classy look and feel to their most recent MVs and songs and that's why you often see them dressed in suites. They are all men, not boys. LOL.
But as you will soon discover, they are one of the most unique groups when it comes to the dynamics of the members personalities -- they truly are fun, crazy, over the top and aren't afraid to just let their freak flag fly when they interact with each other. They truly are a group of brothers that have been together for so many years that nothing is off limits and they don't hide their true selves from the cameras. LOL If you saw the behind the scenes of these videos, for example, you probably would have seen them all making fun of each other and swearing and just generally acting crazy like a bunch of teenage boys.
SJ are legends in the industry and they have paved the way for almost everything you see in the Kpop industry today. They set the standard for how Kpop is promoted around the world. They are also the first group to have serious roles in all the other entertainment industries -- setting the standard on how a Kpop star branches out into all parts of the industry. They are not only singers and dancers but members are musicians, composers, songwriters, lyricists, music and video producers, TV and movie actors, stage actors, models, radio DJs/ hosts, variety show hosts/MCs, authors, etc. Pretty much anything we think of as a standard part of the Kpop industry was created because of them. They were the first Kpop group to have non-Korean members, the first group to have dedicated sub-units and the first Kpop group to have a sub-unit that focused on producing songs in Mandarin for the Chinese audience.
No Other will still be my favorite SuJu song and BONAMANA repackaged album will always be my favorite album of theirs.
In my opinion, super junior perform their songs better in their concert/live version than the studio version. It's because their concerts/performances showcase their talents n skills in live singing n live performance. They can be charismatic, sexy, cool, goofy in their concerts. Actually, they also miss doing concerts, that's why they had planned to have concerts in Korea this coming September, but because of the worsening cases of covid in Korea, sadly they had to cancel that plan.
I'd like to recommend their latest performance video: Burn The Floor, the song and the music, and not to mention the choreography, are interesting, I don't think no kpop group has that kind of music n choreography.
Devil is a bop too!!! The MV is great as well. Loved SuJu since 2008 (when I discovered them) 💖
They got A LOT , i mean 700 songs on their discography so i believe you'll find MORE bops. You should react to
- BURN THE FLOOR perf video (PLS THIS IS PURE ART, YOU NEED TO SEE THIS)
- The Crown / Sorry Sorry Answer Live (VOCALS LITERALLY)
- Runaway
- Blacksuit
- Evanesce
- 2ya2yao
- Ticky Tocky
- Shadow
Or songs from KRY and D&E subunits, i recommend watching more live stages tho

It's chaotic 😂 yeah.
The superjunior is chaotic.
😂😉 That's fact.
They are so noisy and funny and lovable.
😆
I love Super Junior (SUJU). EXO are very close to them and SUJU are great sunbaes. They have gone through a lot and I have mad respect for them. SUJU's concert are crazy!! The gorgeous one is Siwon (also the sheriff in Mamacita), the one that you like the voice, that's Ryeowook, one of the main vocalist (10.51). He did a duet with D.O. Oh yeah, and SUJU loves to go shirtless LOL! EXO are loud as a group but Suju is even more louder!
You are absolutely right these 2 groups are the best that Kpop has and the great thing is that they get along very well I really like their music, but I follow Exo more
@@AdeOso1190 Yeah, same, I'm an EXO-L !
@@sodabella I don't know if I'm EXO-L. I have been following them for a short time (weeks), but I really like them. I heard another group but it didn't catch me as EXO, but I recognize SUJU's talent. They are also cute and my age hehehe
You should totally react to This is Love, Evanesce and Burn the floor!! I think you will probably like them!!
Yesss
YES BURN THE FLOOR
omg up!!! sir austin react to this is love and evanesce its sogoood
Yes up, Burn the Floor !!
These were jams back in the day man. Memories especially Bonamona and no other. Sexy free and single is a single person's anthem lol Eunhyuk + Donghae still kill it everytime for me. Shindong I just can't such a dance machine 🥰
I love your channel ever since, but now you're reacting to my boys. As an ELF, my heart is very happy ❤️❤️❤️
If you decide to react to a super junior guide, I highly recommend the guide of 'ikhouvanhalu'. I've seen every suju guide out there and honestly that guide is the best and the most updated. It has 2 parts. The first part introduces the group (history, facts, achievements, talents and song recommendations). The second part goes more in depth about the individual members.
I found this channel looking for Super Junior reactions and ended up falling in love with EXO all over again after years of being out of the fandom, so thank you for that. It was lovely to get a reminder of why they meant (still mean) so much to me.
In one of your EXO videos you mentioned liking kpop boys in suits. SJ had a couple of years that I like to think of as their "classy men in classy suits" era, so here's my SJ recommendations for a Classy Suits marathon: Devil, Black Suit, This Is Love and Evanesce.
Devil has a performance-only video and a much more "conceptual" regular mv, both are excellent but for purposes of this "classy suits" concept I suggest the regular video. Black Suit came out when two of their lead singers were in the army, so you get to hear more of the voices you don't otherwise hear as often. And This Is Love/Evanesce are a matched pair, two totally different songs filmed on the same set with the same costumes, directed by one of the members (Shindong). I don't know if it was the intent, but the two videos feel like a really beautiful metaphor for the beginning and end of a relationship, and are really best watched together, in that order.
SJ has TONS of other stuff - not even getting into their live performances or all the special projects over the years - but I'll stop there before I write you a ten page essay lol. Thanks for giving the weird old men of kpop a chance :D
30:31 yes! SJ right now has their own "label" but still belong to SM. It's because how legendary they are that even SM decided to give them their own label where they are now "freely" to do what they want! 😊
1. YES, Super Junior has their own sub label from SM.
2. They have different members each comeback because of 'Military Service'
They are still active now. Kyuhyun has solo albums but he still a member of Super Junior.
Latin ELF loved "Lo siento" so much that it became the first song by a Kpop group to enter the Latin Billboard, but not the only one, as they later released "otra vez" with Reik :)
Yeass... I love *Animal too
The 1st member who left was the Chinese member Hangeng who changed the entire kpop industry by being the first non-Korean foreign idol. It was illegal at the time for him to appear on TV so he had to wear a mask but Heechul was sick of it so he threw his mask off on stage. Korea then changed its laws from there. He eventually left because of SM's racism.
The 2nd member who left was Kibum who was more interested in acting.
The 3rd member who left was Kangin, the guy at 19:44, due to his DUIs and crashing into objects.
The 4th member who left was Sungmin because his marriage was deemed a scandal and Korean fans spread rumors about his behavior towards other fans which were false.
In this list of videos, Mamacita was the last time you see Kangin & Sungmin.
In Lo Siento, the 2 youngest members Kyuhyun & Ryeowook were still doing their military services. Heechul doesn't take part in the dancing due to multiple injuries.
YAYYYY EXO, BigBang and SuJu are my favsss.
Some recommendations:
-U
-This is love
-Black suit
-Devil
Super Junior KRY- Dorothy
Super Junior M- Super Girl
❤
yes the best korean bands
we have the same favesss
omg yes, please react to more of their stuff 🥺 my recommendations are: black suit and devil. for more softer ones, "evanesce" and "miracle" (it's beautiful, you'll love it).
fyi they have a HUGE fanbase in latam, they always come here because the fans are loud and "intense". in the smtown in chile in 2019 everyone, and i say EVERYONE was singing and dancing to their songs, even if they hadn't come to see them.
Lo Siento is one of my favorite songs from SuJu
I love the combination of Korean and Spanish
It run so smooth ♡♡
They do (did more so back then) have a "vocal/dance line". Bonamana live stages are spicy. Yes, Kyuhyun, ballad king. Hope you react to his solo projects in the future. OMG 🤣 Yes Siwon is the same guy you keep on noticing on all 4 videos.
I want to say they wanted to use like the wild west for the Mamacita MV and some spanish influence with the bullfighter, I personally love the vocal build up at the bridge and the after adlibs by Kyuhyun and Ryeowook
Yes they have their own label. During Lo Siento, 2 members, the youngest, were in the military.
OMG YES! I've been waiting for you to react to SuJu for so long!
-Sorry Sorry, Bonamana, and Mr. Simple are part of a trio of sounds called "SJ Funky" that the CEO of SM coined for that period of time as a sound unique to them.
-The shirtless guy in "Bonamana" is Leeteuk, our angel leader. He's also the one that won't hesitate to strip, either. Lol
-They do indeed have a vocal line! The best one in kpop! You should absolutely react to them: Super Junior-KRY. They are a ballad group, but sometimes they will sing more upbeat songs. I recommend seeing their performance of "Sorry Sorry Answer" and "Home," or the "When We Were Us" MV.
- I think they really are saying "bingo," and I'm not sure if they know it's "mingle" or whether they just know it differently.
-Kyuhyun, Ryeowook, Yesung, and Sungmin all have solo albums if you want to check them out :)
-In Lo Siento, there are 7 members in the video, but only 6 are dancing because Heechul can't do the choreography due to a car accident he had back in 2006. He only comes out to do a line here or there in live performances or isn't there at all. Also, two of the members were in the military, and two were on hiatus at the time. One because he got married back in 2014 (and the fans were mad about it) and he hasn't been back since (we're still waiting), and the other had a second DUI scandal, so he was put on hiatus and then eventually left voluntarily in 2019.
I hope you check out more of them soon! They're really amazing vocally, performance-wise, and variety masters!
OH! You mentioned about SM interactions and Chen went on Kyuhyun's show and did a duet with him, which you might like:

Super junior is always evolving. I think I love them now so much more if that’s possible. Ever since they started sj label they have been more involved in the creative process from writing, choreographing, directing their own mv and even concerts. They are so freakin talented and super super fun. They’re actors, singers, hosts and were pioneers in all of that. We love them in Latin America, I’m from México and they have collabed with Reik, a Mexican band and also done a cover from on of our most iconic artists song. You should check out more because they are always evolving. I think you would love super junior kry (sujus top vocalists, even though they all are) or their solo songs. Also my favorite ballads are from the,. They just have a way of harmonizing that take my breath away. Thanks for supporting them!!
3:17
He is siwon. Choi siwon.
He is a great actor, and he is so involved with unisef to help children and 😂one of the member who can buy whole sm by himself alone.
Thanks for reacting to super junior. Hope you can watch other videos ☺️
OMG HAHAHAHA you reacted to my ult group before I got into EXO! Super Junior opened the gateway to K-Pop for a lot of people back in 2008-2012 hahaha. Honestly I was not really into their songs (esp not their title tracks up to 2012) but they have some very good B-sides. Their ballads are some of the best even to this day, imo. Super Junior is still one of the funniest, if not the funniest group in K-Pop, they also have the best vocal line in K-Pop to me.
I still occasionally follow them until today but yeah I kinda drifted apart ever since one of my biases got married and the situation made him kinda disappear from SJ's promotions. Anyway, I'm happy you decided to check them out. As a vocal coach I'm very sure you will fall for their vocal line, it's just soooo good hahaha
(I will come and edit my comment again later after I watch your reaction haha)
Thank you for reacting to more Super Junior! I'm not a Stan, but they defintely reserve respect and often are overlooked by other reactors. I recommend Devil, it's you, Spy, Swings and evanesce
I screamed so much when I saw the notification that I got out of bed very quickly just to see your reaction to Super Junior, OMG I have waited for it for so long, you just made me the happiest woman in the world. Thank you for this.
"Bonamana" and "No Other" are part of the same album which was released in 2010, so at this time Super Junior was an 11 member group. This was after Hangeng left and Kibum was busy with his acting career. However, there are only 10 members in these MVs because KangIn was serving in the military at this time. You see Siwon, Heechul, Sungmin, Kyuhyun, Eunhyuk, Shindong, Donghae, Yesung, Ryeowook and Leeteuk.
The guy with his shirt open in "Bonamana" was the leader Leeteuk who is a lead vocalist. However, the member with his shirt open in "No Other" was Eunhyuk who is the main dancer and main rapper.
There were 3 versions of this Album, "Bonamana" was their title track from Version A of the album. Version B included behind the scenes photos and Version C was their repackaged album that included their lead track "No Other." That is why the two MVs are so different from one another.
Fun fact: The dance move in "Bonamana" where they lean forward and swing their arm has been nicknamed the bowling dance because the move looks like the stance a bowler takes as they throw the ball down the lane. :D
The English lines in "Sexy Free and Single" are unfortunately another one of SuJu's tragically funny/cringy uses of English. It would have made much more sense if they had said, "Sexy Free and Single and ready to mingle" However, what they actually say is: "Sexy Free and Single and ready to, Bingo!" Which only sort of makes sense LOL -- "mingle" would have made so much more sense in the context of the song. (It's similar to Shindong's line in "Mamacita" where he says "Close your lips, shut your tongue." However, if they had a better grasp on English, they would have known that in English we would say "close your lips, hold your tongue." Or, the could have even said " ... stop your tongue." LOL)
In "Sexy Free and Single" there are only 10 members in this MV because Heechul is serving in the military at this time. Heechul served in the military 2011-13 and this MV was from 2012. :D This was the first MV where we see KangIn back after he was released from the military. KangIn served 2010-12. So he had only been back for 3 or 4 months.
Eunhyuk, the rapper, is the guy with the dark hair and the sunglasses on in "Sexy Free and Single." The blond who you thought looked like Eunhyuk was Sungmin who is a lead vocalist.
You absolutely should react to Suju's "Sorry, Sorry Answer" which is an R&B classic! The MV has all 13 original members in classic suits. The beginning adlibs of the song is sang by Yoo Young Jin, D.O.'s former vocal coach.
Tmi : no other is the song that got me into elf fandom. Its truly heart catching
Oh my GODDD i'm so excited for almost 40 minutes of SuJu, thank you Austin!! ♡
So the guy you find attractive is Siwon, the guy you like the voice is Ryeowook and the guy you reconized is Kyuhyun (you also said you find him cute in a SNSD video)
14:56 it's kyuhyun, he is harmonizing with himself
30:54 the reason is: military service (but finally in 2019 the maknae, kyuhyun, was the last member to complete he's service) but also the group started with 13 members but 3 left and 1 is "suspended"? idk how to say in english, he still officially in the group but he don't participate in the activities since 2014 for a unfair reason.
Anyway, I glad you liked them, they are very respect among the idols by being good and respectful seniors. Hope you watch more of them, they are really crazy in the best way.
that's exactly what you need to see Burn the Floor is a masterpiece - Sorry for my bad English
Also, after all this years of being a K-pop stan my top 3 favourite voices in K-pop hasn't changed at all.
It always has been (and will be) Kyuhyun, Onew(Jinki) and D.O (Kyungsoo)
The blonde guy in Lo Siento is the same guy with 'skeleton' jacket you liked in Sexy,Free and Single. His name is Yesung ( main vocalist) ...he has like one of the most hauntingly beautiful ,heart wrenching and soul piercing voices in the Korean music industry. He is very emotive ...I think you might like him cause his voice is of a husky, raspy quality and able to reach very high register which is quite uncommon. I recommend his solo albums , various duets, drama OSTs and K.R.Y subunit songs cause he is one of the members .
As an international fan, I can say that Super Junior are the ones who got me into kpop in 2011-2012. We can't deny that they were one of the top groups who spread Kpop internationaly. They have been in the industry for 15years! And still going strong and yes they have their own label. You should check out their latest MV "House Party". It's like the new anthem for quarantine 😂
That gorgeous man in "No Other" and with the abs on "S,F&S", and the one in the middle in "Mamacita" is Choi Siwon, my first ever bias 😍. He's a vocalist and the main visual of the group. He's also a very famous actor and UNICEF ambassador. He's always been so busy, that's why sometimes, he'll only be in snippets of the MV (like No Other where he wasn't in the MV choreo).
Super Junior has currently 9 active members. So if you see MV with less, it means some of the members were enlisting during that period.
They also have a subunit K.R.Y which is the first major subunit in Kpop. It contains the three main vocalists and they do ballads.
Fun Fact: SNSD and Super Junior were like the matching groups during 2nd gen. You'll see SNSD members as female leads on Super Junior MVs (like in No other although they were not seen, in Seoul Song too which was a collab), and then vice versa with SNSD (Donghae on Kissing You MV, Siwon on Hoot MV, etc)
I feel like Mamacita MV was more of based on Old American Wild West movies? Like they were doing a play on how the actors in those films over acted? Idk, that's how I've always interpreted it. But then again, like you mentioned, it was a different time, people weren't as sensitive or aware about this kind of stuff as they are now. There's definitely worse Kpop MVs of the past that would not fly today. I don't think you need to think too deeply in to this one, I don't think it outwardly offended any Latin Americans. Super Junior actually has quite a large fanbase in Latin America and have toured South America in the past. I think that's why some of their songs have a latin influence.
Super Junior has a lot of fans in Latinamerica and they focused a lot on us. I'm from Argentina and they came to do their show twice, the last time was after Lo siento and Leslie was there as well. After that they also made a song with Reik, that's a latin band, too. And yes, in Lo siento there is just half of the original formation, since the rest of them finish their contracts with SM for different reasons.
To me, they are amazing. They used to do a lot of variety shows and we got to know them a little, and they are goofy, silly, funny and all very kind hearted. After all those years, they continue to work really hard to their fans, and that's why they are my favourite kpop group ever
I love that you're taking a look at 2nd gen groups like suju. I've been an elf since 2005. I'm so happy that you get to discover them. They're my ult group til now. 💙💙💙 sapphire blue hearts for you.
I suggest you listen to Evanesce and Islands Live. Their vocals are so good. Especially in Sorry Sorry Answer that song is absolute chefs kiss
Super Junior has 700++ songs under their belt with various genre, so choosing favourite is a little hard. But you'll find one for each taste.

For those who may not know a lot about Super Junior, to help you understand how influential and epic Super Junior are: The group was originally created to be a "project group" which meant that SM Entertainment originally put the group together with members who had all different talents within the entertainment industry, as well as singing and dancing.
When the group was created they were considered the super rookies of the company so they were given the name Super Junior '05. The original purpose of the group was for the members to get more experience in all aspects of the entertainment industry while they also worked as singers and dancers. For example, Shindong and Eunhyuk were supposed to be training as comedians and hosts, Siwon was an actor, etc. (That is why the members of Super Junior are involved in all aspects of the entertainment industry today.)
The original plan was that after about 3 to 6 months, when SM decided the members had gained enough experience, the individual members would graduate from the group and form other groups or move on to other careers within the entertainment industry, etc. and new members would be added to the group.
However, Super Junior gained a very large and vocal Korean fandom even before they debuted, and when the fans heard about SM's plan to have the members of Super Junior leave the group, the fans got together and demanded that SM allow Super Junior to stay together. With large scale protests and purchasing enough shares of SM stocks, fans became voting members of SM Entertainment's board of directors and were able to force SM to promise that Super Junior would become a permanent group. E.L.F. (Ever Lasting Friends -- SJ's fandom) are some of the most loyal and vocal of all Kpop fans.
Plus, I think one reason why fans were so upset about Super Junior '05's concept was the fact that the members of Super Junior were actually part of a larger group of trainees who the fans had watched go through an elimination process. The members who "made it" where the 5 members who originally became the members of TVXQ, and the members who formed Super Junior '05 were the "castoffs." But fans had already formed a bond with ALL the trainees, so they were upset that the other members who "didn't make it" (Super Junior members) might eventually disappear from the spotlight, etc.
When Super Junior first debuted on Nov 6, 2005, they had 12 members, but 6 months later Kyuhyun was added to the group to officially make them a 13 member group.
Then in 2008, SM created the very first Mandarin Chinese sub-unit designed to bring Kpop to the Chinese market and they added 2 new members to Super Junior (Zhoumi and Henry) and Super Junior officially became a 15 member group. Henry is Chinese/Taiwanese-Canadian and Zhoumi is native Chinese. However, Zhoumi and Henry were only allowed to be members of Super Junior-M. So, Super Junior is a 13 member group + 2 (Super Junior-M) members.
So, technically, Super Junior was "originally" a 15 member group. However, in the same way that the Korean ELF supported Super Junior and forced SM to make them a permanent group, in 2008 when SM announced the addition of Henry and Zhoumi and the creation of Super Junior-M, Korean fans protested yet again. But this time they were against adding any new members to Super Junior. So the Korean fans forced SM, this time, to agree to only make Henry and Zhoumi members of Super Junior's Mandarin sub-unit (they needed more Chinese members to make the Chinese sub-unit work), and they were not allowed to be included in anything to do with the main group of Super Junior.
Then in 2010, Hangeng (The industry's very first non-Korean member of a Kpop group -- he is native Chinese) and Kibum left the group and Super Junior became an 11 member group + 2 (Super Junior-M) members.
In 2018 Henry left SM Entertainment, but he never officially left Super Junior. Now, before someone says "Henry is not a part of Super Junior any more," I want to point out that it has never officially been said that Henry has left Super Junior. Yes, he left SM when his contract was up after 10 years, to start his own independent company, but that doesn't necessarily mean he left the group. So many true fans are holding out hope that this means he still may collaborate with SJ on projects in the future. (He is still living and working in Korea and he is still in contact with all the SJ members, etc.) After all, the 3 members of Girls Generation who left SM have said they would like to do something similar in the future. All three members of Girls Generation have said just because they left SM, doesn't mean they left the group.That's why when Girls Generation made their most recent comeback they did it as a sub-unit Oh!GG, because they weren't the full group. And even Taecyeon from 2PM left JYP Entertainment, but his new company has partnered with JYP to allow Taecyeon to continue activities with 2PM. And Ravi from VIXX left JellyFish Entertainment, but he has continued activities with his group. So, it looks more promising all the time that if Henry ever wanted to do something with SJ again, he could. After all, Henry is one of Lee SooMan's (SM's) favorite people. (Even though SM may have never allowed Henry to reach his full potential under them, which is part of the reason why he left the company. But I don't think there was any bad blood between them when he left, and he has always been one of SM's most prized artists for the amount of talent he has.)
Then in 2019, KangIn officially left Super Junior, and now they have 10 members + 2 (Super Junior-M) members.
However, currently they have 9 active members. Sungmin decided to take a hiatus from the group in 2017 because of Korean fans' protest over him getting married. And now after almost 4 years, even though he had his solo debut in 2019, he has still not done any activities with Super Junior.
Zhoumi renewed his contract with SM in 2018, so he is still an "active" member of Super Junior, however, because of the political issues between China and Korea, Zhoumi had not done anything with Super Junior for almost 6 years. However, in 2020 Zhoumi released a new song "I'll Be There" with SM, and more specifically, under Super Junior's label -- Label SJ -- and it features Kun and Xiaojun from WayV. And, even more exciting, is the fact that, for the first time in a long time, Zhoumi came back to Korea in 2020 and he actually worked with Super Junior again. Zhoumi and Ryeowook (one of SuJu's main vocalists and a member of Super Junior-M) have a new song called "Starry Night" and they have a Korean and Chinese version. Zhoumi is an actor, model, author, lyricist and songwriter/producer, etc. in China. If it wasn't for all the political issues he probably would have been in Korea working with Super Junior this whole time. But because he is only a member of Super Junior-M and they aren't active right now because they were unable to promote in China, Zhoumi has been doing other things with his career.
So, as you can see, depending on the time period you will see a wide fluctuation in the number of members who are included in each of their songs, MVs and activities. Because they have such a large group with such a wide range of ages, the number of members have fluctuated over the years as the members have all taken their turns serving in the military, because of injury, and controversies that have caused some members to take time off, etc.
Yes "Bonamana" is the sound of 2nd Gen SM -- most of the tracks from this time were penned and produced by one guy, Yoo Young-jin. I am a fan of his work, and probably my favorite is "One Day One Chance" for Max Changmin. He has a great sense of drama. But they have wisely diversified since then. He's still around, he's the force behind aespa's "Black Mamba"
Austin, I have been waiting for all of the You Tubers to find the groups that inspired so many others. Thank you so much for heading down the SuJu hole. They have a huge catalog, and I can't wait to see what else you find. I started listening to KPOP in 2008, so SUJU and then SHINee, along with Big Bang and TVXQ took up a lot of my time
Hi Austin! You are lucky, because SuperJunior have many songs in the same style as "No Other", songs where the vocalists shine.
I recommend: "Sorry, sorry - Answer", "Simply beautiful", "You got it".
Also the hits, "This is love", "Devil", "Black suit",
Some of the members who debuted are no longer in the group and the latest albums are missing those who joined the military.
SUJU stand out for their variety, they have published songs of all styles. Various components are common in TV shows and dramas.
Yesssss more Suju please!
Otra vez
It’s you
One more chance
Devil
Black suit
The handsome guy you notice in all videos, his name is Choi Siwon, a guy who can buy SM because he is so damn rich HAHAHAHAHA
Ps. He's an actor too!
Yes, the sound of bonamana is representing the 2000 era, Thank you for this
KING OF HALLYU WAVE
SUJU started my kpop journey. My HS classmate who seats in front of me, she had this folder which she puts behind her back, it has the pic of all SuJu members, i always see it, so one day, I went and ask her who they are and the rest is history. And here I am, 13 years after.
I'm glad I was able to watch SS7, it was the last concert I went before this pandemic happened.
