Member Profile: Lee Sungmin

Name: 이성민 aka Lee Sung Min

DOB: January 1, 1986

Member of SUPER JUNIOR

Talents: Singing, Dancing, Chinese Martial

I decided to sort of start another segment on my blog called Member Profile where I will feature a kpop celebrity. Since it's his birthday already in Korea, I decided to pick him for my first Member Profile.

Sungmin joined SM Entertainment after he won first place for Best Outward Appearance. Along with his friends, Lee Hyukjae and Kim Junsu, the three were put as trainees to form a r&b group. But that didn't last long since Kim Junsu was later put on the group DBSK while Sungmin and Lee Hyukjae joined Super Junior 05.

Sungmin is currently in the 13 member group called Super Junior. Was part of the sub groups Super Junior-T and Super Junior-H. (T - Trot...H - Happy) Is not considered as main vocal or main dancer, but I believe that he sure is up there with the rest of them.

He just turned 24. So, I wish you Sungmin a Happy Birthday! I hope you spend it with your family, friends and other members of Super Junior. I wish you best of luck in 2010.

Sungmin hwaiting!

Super Junior hwaiting!

It's Bittersweet...

SM Entertainment released a statement on the 18th saying,

"For now, we don't think Kangin can work as a member of Super Junior until later on. Even his fans are disappointed so until the end of the year, he will take a break to think about what he did."

As I read this, I had mixed feelings.

I'm sad because of the horrible turn of events towards the #1 Handsome Guy. He was a member that would bring smiles on my face and laughter in my heart. I am sad to see that this is happening to him. I am sad to see the group that I love going through hard times. I am sad to see that ELF is going to be seeing a lot more of 11 member performances. I am sad to see another member absent from Super Junior. I am sad to see people turning their backs on Kangin.

I'm angry with netizens people who have nothing better to do but bring Kangin down deeper into the darkness. I'm angry with people who make these unnecessary petitions and taking control over Kangin's life and career through the internet. I'm angry that these people can't let the police and law officials deal with the situation because they're the one's that actually determine Kangin's fate. I'm angry that netizens people cannot understand that behind this idol image, Kangin is a regular human being who makes terrible mistakes. I'm angry that people cannot comprehend that.

I have hope with the solution SM Entertainment came up with. I have hope that Kangin will be able to use this time to regroup himself. I have hope that Kangin will learn from his actions and comeback to us ELF's a better and stronger Kangin. I have hope that Kangin will get through this. I have hope that Super Junior will get through this. I have hope that ELF's are going to continue to be there for Kangin and not abandon him in his time of need. I have hope that things will get better. I have hope that this will be resolved in a good way. I have hope.

Yours,
