Super-Junior will downsize to just 6 members

0221-super-junior.jpg

Korea’s largest boy-band group, Super-Junior finally learned that having 13 members in a pop group is just too much so they are now actively slicing and dicing it into smaller sub-groups. The first sub-group, Super-Junior K.R.Y was created last year with three members and they participated in the creation of Hyena OST.

The second group, Super-Junior T was recently formed with six members including Lee Teuk, Hee Chul, Kang In, Shin Dong, Eun Hyuk and Sung Min. The T stands for trot, the oldest form of Korean pop enjoyed by baby boomers but it’s experiencing a come-back as young singers, like Jang Yoon Jeong embrace the old genre and bring it to younger audiences.

Super-Junior T’s title song is “Ro-Kku-Guh” which means the reverse. I guess they really want to show us that they are going against trend by embracing the oldest genre. Do you think that Super Junior T can bring trot back?

    They aren’t breaking up. -_- They just created small groups. They want to try different things. That’s all. I heard they were coming out with a new single sometime before the summers out.

    guys… super junior isn’t breaking up….

    this is just one of their many sub groups…
    they have

    -the original super junior, of course (13 members)
    -super junior t (as seen in picture) (6 members)
    -super junior happy (which i think also has 13 members, just replaced a member or 2)
    -super junior m (7 members, 2 of which are 2 recruits not from the original suju)

    remember guys, they have SUB GROUPS! they aren’t breaking up, they have different groups they go into, but are still on as a whole =)

    super junior is so cool…
    sungmin is my idol.. pure awesomeness man… pure awesomeness….

    i think 13 members is better though it is a lot but still. Maybe it just me but i feel that you guy looks happier with all 13. ^^
