Super Junior (repackage)

I have kind of dreaded this one. Super Junior is one of the Korean bands, I listen to every day. But they have, indeed, some members to write about. 

They just came out with their new album A-CHA (Mr. Simple repackage), which consists of four new songs. Which is A-CHA, Ooops! (feat f(x)), A Day and Andante.

Super Junior debuted in 2005 with their first single Twins (knock out). They debuted with 12 members in total. Later, the 13 member came along too. They are one of the largest boy-bands in the world.
I fully understand why they always talk about getting so few lines, in the songs. With that many people having their voices heard. But I really like it a lot. It surely gives diversity. 

Super Junior consists of thirteen members, all with their own charm.
LeeTeuk (Park Jung Soo) is the leader, vocalist and lead rapper. Born in 1983.
Heechul (Kim Hee Chul) is a vocalist and rapper. Also born in 1983.
HanKyung (Han Geng) is a lead dancer and born in 1984. (Left for a solo career in China, but Super Junior members still consider him a member)
Yesung (Kim Jong Woon) is a main vocalist and born in 1984.
Kangin (Kim Young Woon) is one of the lead vocalists and born in 1985.
ShinDong (Shin Dong Hee) is the main dancer and main rapper. Born in 1985.
Sungmin (Lee Sung Min) is a vocalist and main dancer. Born in 1985.
Eunhyuk (Lee Hyuk Jae) is a lead dancer, main rapper and a vocalist. Born in 1986.
Donghae (Lee Dong Hae) is a main dancer and vocalist. Also born in 1986.
Siwon (Choi Si Won) is a vocalist and born in 1987.
Ryeowook (Kim Ryeo Wook) is one of the lead vocalists and born in 1987.
Kibum (Kim Ki Bum) is a rapper and vocalist. Also born in 1987.
Kyuhyun (Cho Kyu Hyun) is a main vocalist and main dancer. Born in 1988 and being the youngest one.

They also have sub-groups within the group -
Super Junior M was formed to target the mandarin popular music. They debuted in 2008 with Han Geng (as leader), Siwon, Donghae, Ryewook and Kyuhyun. They also added two new members, Henry and Zhou Mi. In 2009 Han Geng returned to China to pursue a solo career. And in 2011 members, Eunhyuk and Sungmin was added instead. Currently they are eight members in total.

Super Junior K.R.Y, was created in 2006 and is a trio with Kyuhyun, Ryewook and Yesung. Their initials make K.R.Y. They target a more mature audience, and are amongst the most vocally powerful members with similar music qualities.
There are also Super Junior Happy and Super Junior T.

Now in September 2011, only 8 members are active. Han Geng - in China, Heechul and Kangin - temporary leave of absence for military service, Siwon - filming for his upcoming drama, and Kibum - pursuing an acting career.

I myself are most attached to LeeTeuk, Eunhyuk, Shindong, Donghae and Siwon because of different reasons. LeeTeuk (my bias), Eunhyuk and Shindong, mostly because they are extremely charming and funny. (I love Strong heart)

I didn't really get attached to any of the new four songs, on the repackage album. A Day and Andante was two very calm good songs, Oops!! was ... "special". *laugh* and A-CHA was... nothing special, but good overall. Sound like an opening song...

Well, my favorites from the actual album though ~

Only because of the MV, because I actually don't like Mr.Simple that much. There is a few sounds I like in the song though.

Super Junior - Mr. Simple (Mr.Simple album 2011)

The song starts at 0.38 ~

Super Junior - Feels Good (Mr.Simple album 2011)

Up-beat tune.

Super Junior - Walkin' (Mr.Simple album 2011)
A bit of a reggae feeling to this.

Super Junior - My Love, My Kiss, My Heart (Mr.Simple album 2011)

Up-beat ballad. Probably the one I've listened to the most.

You really hear when it's Super Junior, in my opinion. They sound really unique. They have music for every occasion. And I most definitely like the new sound of the new album.

And a older favorite ~

Super Junior - No other (Bonamana album 2010)

Very cute MV.
