Super Junior’s not so Super

Super Junior KPOP Korean Music

Super Junior is proud of their recent accomplishment but they shouldn't be. Super Junior's single titled “Marry U” was recently ranked 9th on Japan's Oricon Daily Chart, and Super Junior celebrated like they actually won first place for something (besides Shin Dong in eating contests).

Hold on a second boys, it's not that great of an accomplishment when you have Big Bang reaching 3rd on Oricon Daily Chart and TVXQ setting Oricon records for foreigners.

Super Junior celebrating ninth is like them celebrating a 3rd place finish at Lee's Karaoke & Soju Bar. Oh well, at least celebrating gives Shin Dong another reason to eat. And if you're asking yourself why isn't Shin Dong in the picture above? Well, because he's at the Buffet of course. Actually, even with ALLKPOP's new layout change, there's not enough room to fit him in the pictures.

Big bang had released 3 albums in japan, to SJ’s none. They do almost no promotion, and only released i think 3 singles there. Compared to dbsk spending 2 years promoting hardcore, and big bang promoting for months at a time.

Having pretty much no promotion besides a concert there awhile back, getting on the top 10 of the chart isn’t bad.

it’s weird
the fans is more disillusioned
when they read about suju tops oricon, they just go wow
without even reading the details
and after they read, tehy goes ah number 9 is good too
and bla bla bla
weird…

suju didn’t have direct promotion at japan, unlike dbsk, big bang,ss501, ft island and more,, who stay there and release japanese albums…plus marry u is a korean song.. marry u is a song from their last year album but still they manage to get 9th place…i’m really22222x proud of suju eventhough they didn’t work hard like others..hahahahahaha…I don’t care if they are looking crazy or retard, i still love them…SUJU FIGHTING..allkpop go 2 hell..

Well, 9th place is 9th place. And it’s still a high rank. I, for one, am proud and happy for them.
There’s only 11 in the pic. T.T I know you said that ShinDong is at the buffet(lol), but where’s HeeCHul? D:

So what? They did no promotions or concerts for a loooong time, so 9th place isn’t that bad. Big Bang has been performing and released 2 albums. DBSK was working in Japan and is Asia’s star, so what do you expect from DBSK and BB? That’s really not that bad without any promotional activities, concerts, and only 1 album release. So let them celebrate, let them be happy, and stop bashing Shindong, okay? He’s actually doing a good job losing weight, so stop insulting SJ, because if it was you against ELF members, you’d lose by a mile.

Um, when did Super Junior celebrate this? I’ve heard of the fans being happy for them and all but not of Suju themselves celebrating it (as they should cause it’s still good). Or are you just making that up wink

I’m proud of them getting 9th place without any promotion other then the Japan event months ago. Suju<3

I’m not really into Super Junior but getting into the top 10 is pretty good.. for the Oricon chart. They haven’t even promoted the song in Japan, unlike Big Bang & DBSK yet they could make to the top 10. When DBSK debuted in Japan, their first single only placed at the 20s or 10s. Correct me if I’m wrong.

How exactly did they celebrate anyway? I didn’t hear of them having a whole party or something? I know they thanked their fans, etc. Good point moonlight kpop sites usually conveniently leave out information, so i’m not that surprised by the vagueness of the accusation.

Not to bust anyone’s bubble but Top 9 in the Oricon DAILY chart is not considered an accomplishment at all… because sales can change drastically after one day. Like, someone can be number one on the daily but end up placing 20th overall if their sales drop like crazy for the next few days. And please don’t compare Super Junior to BB and DBSK, because SJ has a LONNGG way to go. They are still relatively unknown in Japan. I mean, BigEast knows them because they are from the same company as DBSK, but that’s about it…

Hankyung probally gonna leave Super junior for Acting career, hes staring in Return of Condor Hero Remake 2009, in about a year they’ll all break up for their own sake cuz i know they dont make that much in SM.

ehhh.. soo… getting first or second isn’t everything in the world…. at least THEY ARE ON THE CHARTS… as long as they are happy and healthy, then I will be happy and support them…

and theripper.. you shouldn’t be putting them down… leeteuk is getting really sick right now and is in a lot of pain… so no need to bring them down even more…

everyone makes such a big deal over how big bang debuted at 3rd and double s got 2nd and how when dongbang first debuted they didn’t chart very high. but i mean honestly, when it comes to ranking we also have to take into account how many units were sold. what was the competition like that week? getting in the top 10 is nice too but don’t compare the groups just by ranking because ranking does not truly reflect how well the artist sold.

but oh well~ congrats to suju i guess.

Maybe the Japanese aren’t that impressed with SUJU. They already got JE boys.  SUJU doesn’t bring anything different.  DBSK proved their singing abilities and Big Bang brought their hiphop/house/techno-flavor over there. But SUJU? I don’t know…

Funny how Kibum seems to be the only one in the picture who does not at all look enthusiastic. If he is smart, he’d really leave suju and seriously focus on a career of acting. And if the other members are smart, they’d leave too and enter diff fields according to their capabilities.
Many people don’t take suju seriously. To most of us, they’re just a bunch of funny gagmen. And not more.
But I do wish them well, that’s why I hope they’d go separate ways soon. PLEASE, for everyone’s sake.

ok even getting on the Oricon daily chart is very hard. especially when ur from another country.

They got onto the Oricon chart before at #4 with “U” without little to NO PROMOTION, which is the case here also. Plus, at least post of picture of them celebrating for this or some kind of proof of them celebrating instead of just saying it.
Trust me, they might seem lacking a bit of musical talent standing next to DBSK all day, but put them next to Japanese/Taiwanese/Chinese boy bands, they rise above them all.

ow, super clowns go to Nippon? Well, at least they’re alive >_>
I like some of suju boys, but never take them as a group =.= And i don’t think they can make something big in japanese market.

as a former fans who stop following them when the only13 rise I think they we’ll be lucky to have another years. Heechul and Leeteuk are too old to called as an idol now and they doing good in their own respect area. I feel bad for sungmin, kyuhyun, ryewook, and yesung who have decent voice but can’t really stand out in group with out standing personality or looks but they’re doing very good on sub-group.

Oricon 9th place is good, considered they only release an album as a thanks to japanese fans and not set any bar. Congrat to SUJU!!!

getting 9th on the oricon charts is pretty good, since suju barely does any promotion =____________=

they did a japanese version of marry u?
if not, and it’s the korean version then 9th place is actually pretty good considering they aren’t really promoting much in japan.

I always had the feeling Kibum isn’t into this “Super Junior” thing.
Am I the only one who feels this way? It’s like his face is always, ‘whatever’ or something.

From July 8 to July 9, 2008, Super Junior made their first official appearance as a group in Japan, holding their first Japan fanmeeting in the Nippon Budokan in Tokyo as a celebration for the grand opening of their official Japanese Homepage that was opened on April 1, 2008.[55] 12,000 tickets to the fanmeeting were all sold out. Although Super Junior has never held activities in Japan, the decision for the group to appear in the renowned Nippon Budokan was rare and became an interesting event to notice.[55] The group released a compiled Japan single the following day, entitled “U/TWINS”, which includes the Japanese version of “U” in the limited release, to complement the event. The single peaked at #4 on Japan’s Oricon Daily Chart in its first day of release, and dropped down to only four places in its second. The single broke a new record for being the first Korean single to have made within top 10 on Japan’s Oricon Weekly Chart.[56]

On November 5, 2008, Super Junior-T released their first Japanese single, “ROCK&GO;“ in Japan, with the support and featuring of Japanese comemdy duo, Moeyan. The collaboration was the duo’s official debut as singers and Super Junior-T’s entrance in the Japanese market.[39] The single debuted at #19 on the Oricon Daily Charts[57] and jumped to #2 three days later.

How come you don’t talk about how big they are in China, where they actually do heavy promotions in, Suju-M in China is actually considered one of the most talented groups, it’s about who you standing next to, In China, you see them crossing Fahrenheit once in a while, standing next to those no goods, Suju is golden.

uhm.. ShinDong’s fat joke is old. i dont like u anymore, THE RIPPER.
true that SJ cant be compared with DBSK in talent..
but remember how much time, money, and effort were spent for DBSK to take that 1st place.
so i guess getting into 9th place is good, considering they only did a little promotion on this single.
and THERIPPER, idk where the heck u got the rumor about the celebration from, but if thats true, then I shouldve got a bunch of articles and pictures about it on my mini homepage’s inbox already.
