Super Junior is Super Slammed!
63 Commentsmatteo in News | 14 Jul 2008 - 04:35 PM
Super Junior’s recent schedule has gone under scrutiny by the media. During a performance of Super Show in Thailand, members Yesung injured his waist disc and Leeteuk suffered a bruise from slipping. Kangin and Sungmin are also suffering from chronic fatigue.
Fatigue and injuries were caused by their ridiculous schedule, which consisted of traveling to Japan, Korea, and then to Thailand in just 2 days. Super Junior then returned to Korea for a television appearance and flew back to Thailand for their First Asia Concert Tour.
Super Junior will also be participating at SM Town Live '08 next month at Jamsil Stadium as part of the Asian tour around Beijing, Shanghai, and Bangkok.
Now I can’t say I’m the biggest Super Junior fan, but these guys need a break. They are working harder than the granny's in the country fields, and considering Super Junior is more fragile than them, it's just not right.

A break? there’s friggin 15 of them (yes I said 15 because I hate you o13)
They can divide their time up and take breaks. They hardly perform together as a group unit. They spend all their time doing other stuff that usually has NOTHING to do with SUJU. They wear themselves out because they WANT to not because they’re forced to like some other artists *cough*dbsk.

poor poor suju boys! it is not humane to work them so hard :( They are tired, and do not even get proper rest. We fans can’t do anything. Cursing at Lee Soo man or whatever, won’t make them feel better. I don’t understand the need for them to do so many performances in so many countries in such a short tiem O_o

I wanted to say they should take a break…but from what I’m seeing, like more hectic schedule of other bands and other performers collapsing…
I don’t think they should take a break…think about it, they’re rarely together…and truthfully I want to see all 13 of them together…if injuries and such are going to hinder them…then…idk…

and this is why im worried when dongbang makes a comeback in korea. as much as i love watching the boys in korean variety shows, korean schedules are just too exhausting for them - not just dbsk but with almost every artist. then again, that’s what you need to keep the popularity booming.
as for suju, like kpop_rubba said, they do activities not solely for suju but as solo stuff. that’s why im not surprised they’re exhausted.

OMG!!!!! I HOPE THEY ARE OK NOW!!! MAKES ME SAD!!!!! THEY ARE ALSO PERFORMING AT THE MTV ASIA AWARDS!!!!
@ KPOP RUBA ... it doesn’t matter if there are 13 members.. do u know how hard it is to memorize 10+ different dance moves for a concert??? i don’t think soo… i have performed with many people for certain events/ contests .. n’ let me tell u.. it is hard to dance with a big group..
N’ HOW DO U KNOW IF SUJU WANTED TO DO THOSE OTHER ACTIVITES??? DID U ASK THEM???
SORRY IF I SOUND OFFENDED, BUT PLEASE THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU WRITE SOMTIMES…

This is why kim ki bum decided to participate in Super Junior 1/100th of the time, he doesnt wanna get murder by schedules like the rest of them.
They really do need a break. i hope they one soon. just for one hour is good enough at this rate.

after that very fruity cooking song i kinda lost respect for them.
so i dont really care.
actually if they r gonna perform terrible songs like that, i’d rather have them stay in their homes and rest

Suju does need a break…
But at the same time, we rarely see all of them together like this…

everyone needs a break. The music industry should just like shut down for a week and let everyone go home and sleep. Seriously, singers are dropping like flies and it’s all from being overworked.
Even if SuJu don’t all perform together (sucks!) they’re always doing something else on the side…they should still rest either way…they’re still humans.

Ki Bum is not useless…when it comes to singing and dancing but when it comes to promoting the group he isn’t…
most SuJu fan are fans because of Ki Bum’s cuteness…
he’s 4th in top 5 SuJu members that PDs want to work with…first being Heechul…

Seriously, SM sucks at managing schedules. Yes, it’s important to reach as many fans as possible, but you know what else is important? Sleep. And, you know, being alive.

Knowing that they’re from SM, it’s normal to have frequent visits to the hospital. =_=

Some are saying that they can just switch sub-groups and such but it’s kind of not possible when certain sub-groups are promoting new albums([Suju-M: Kyuhyun, Donghae, Siwon, Hangeng, Ryeowook, Henry, Zhoumi] [SuJu-Happy: Sungmin, Kangin, Yesung, Leeteuk, Eunhyuk, Shindong]), dramas(Kibum), musicals(Heechul, Kangin), radios(Sungmin, Kangin) and such. Oh and for those of you who are geniuses, oh lookie there all 13[15] members were listed.

one reason why sm is bad.
even though their is 13
or 15 or whatever.
they don’t need to dupicate
the amount of people their is..
come on they are people to and
number one and two things about
people, they need food/water.
but most important thing is sleep.

I love these guys, and basically agree with what (most) everyone else is saying. Even if they take a short break and I have to find another group to entertain me for a time, I’ll come back to them because they’re so freaking entertaining <3
But the line about old grannies being tougher than SuJu is great xD Reminds me of that episode of Adonis Camp.

@kpop_rubba: Super Junior does belong to the same company as DBSK…why would they WANT to overwork themselves? they are being treated the same way as DBSK…LSM is milking them out…the other stuff that they do are all for more publicity for them…and about the sub-groups,, all of it are LSM’s plan…so it’s not their fault for not being 13 when LSM is busy dividing them (LSM to SUJU: divide and conquer..LOL)
@la la la: kibum is too busy focusing more on his acting, though when they were promoting the second album, he has been present most of the time at their performances even if he only just dances…and it is true, that kibum also attracts more fans~
i believe all artists in SM are overworked..some more than others…
they all need a little break sometimes to be on the top of their game,,
otherwise they would all be dropping like flies and that wouldn’t be good for them…

I like Super Junior and all but they knew what the fuck they were getting into when they signed up to be in SM. All the artist under that label know it’s hard work, so the fans really need to stop bitching. All the guys in Suju care about is getting paid and doing what they like and they know they have to work hard.
Honestly, this may seem heartless but if the boys took better care of themselves, such as eating right, working out, and other things they wouldn’t be in such bad shape. So in a way Kpop_Rubba is right in a sense. No one is forcing these boys to do anything. They can walk away but if they do fans will be mad, right? Funny how fans on here want to bitch about SM artist being over worked but I bet if Super Junior was having a concert near you, you wouldn’t care if they were over worked or not. To tell you the truth SM is a label that I respect business and marketing wise.
Also I hate that ‘only 13’ bullshit. I hope Super Junior adds more members! I hope the next guy is Japanese or maybe even black too! See how they like that lol! Elves are fuckin’ racist little basters.

the sad thing is if they take a break for too long people lose interest in the group i know thats what happened for me when Rain was filimg speed racer. I hate to hear they are working themselves into the grave, but does anyone really know what thier contract specify when it comes to performances and promotion?

seeing other bands like tvxq, ss501, and others who can handle situations like this, i think they can do it too.
in fact there are 13 members in the group, they can handle it.
if they can eat at the right time, workout, etc., they can have a healthy body you know. nobody is forcing the guys to overwork themselves. that’s why they signed a contract stating that the work they chose is what they wanted to do. so we should expect things like this would really happen.
