Making a Friend Watch Super Junior: Sorry Sorry for the First Time 슈퍼주니어 쏘리 쏘리

[@milindawilson9175]

Yes, Super Junior's "Sorry Sorry" is one of THE MOST iconic Kpop songs and choreo of all time. "Sorry Sorry" came out in 2009 and it is what shot Super Junior into intentional superstardom. EVERY single person and their grandparents in Korea knows this song and can dance the dance. "Sorry Sorry" is the one song that everyone in the industry knows and is practically required to perform at least once in their careers. All 13 members are part of "Sorry Sorry" -- I think this might be the last MV where we see all 13 of the original members together in one MV. (Kibum and Hangeng officially left the group in 2010.) In total SuJu has 15 members, (However, as you may know, Henry and Zhoumi didn't join the group until 2008 and they were only members of Super Junior-M, the Mandarin Chinese sub-unit of SuJu, so they weren't part of this song.) From here on out, SuJu spends almost 9 years where they are missing at least one member as they all take their leave to serve in the military, or because of other issues. The members started going off to the military in 2009/2010 and the last member was discharged in 2018. "Sorry Sorry" is so well known and so iconic that it is the most well known Kpop song around the world, and when it came out it became an international trend. Groups of people were getting together in 2009/2010 and learning this dance and song and posting it all over the internet. The song was so big that even an entire prison population in the Philippines learned this dance and performed it. You can find thousands of clips of groups of people from all around the world performing this song, and even grandmothers have formed dance teams and aerobics workout classes around this song and choreo. You can also find clips of pretty much any Kpop group or artist performing a cover of this song and dance as part of their standard rookie debut, and I literally mean EVERY Kpop artist and entertainer. You should look up the English translation of the lyrics to see what they are talking about. Fun fact: In the lyrics some of the English lines they are saying, "Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. Shawty, shawty shawty shawty." ;p They are saying shawty like the American slang term for shorty -- as in, slang for what a guy sometimes calls their girlfriend. As you might have noticed, Super Junior is known for their vocals and for their dancing. As an SM Entertainment group it's really no surprise that the members are all amazing vocalists and dancers because that's just a fact about the type of people that SM selects to be a part of its company. SM has become known for its amazing vocalists and dancers and that is why it's one of the largest and most influential entertainment companies in Korea and around the world. Super Junior has 3 main/lead rappers -- Eunhyuk, Shindong and Heechul -- but they are all amazing singers as well. SJ's rappers are such good singers that they have even been known to fill in for the main signers on occasion. But, the more you follow SM Entertainment groups, you will soon discover that all of SM's rappers were actually chosen to become trainees for their vocal and/or dancing skills. All of SM's rappers learned to rap, or at least became good at it, after they joined the company. Therefore, all of SM's artists are amazing vocalists -- being great rappers is just a bonus. They debuted Nov. 6, 2005, so this year will be their 18th annivesary. They currently have 11 full length albums and several repackaged albums, as well as a multitude of mini albums. Plus, they have 5 sub-units -- Super Junior-K.R.Y. (made up of Kyuhyun, Ryeowook and Yesung -- SJ's main vocalists), Super Junior-D & E (made up of Donghae and Eunhyuk), Super Junior-T (Trot -- which is like a cross between the equivalent of western old-style country music and cabaret music. It's older-style Korean pop music that's all about being kind of cheesy, fun and over the top.), Super Junior-M (Mandarin Chinese) and Super Junior-H (Happy). And they now have 12 members in total, and most of them also have solo tracks and albums. So yes, they have plenty of songs to check out, as well as numerous live performances and concert footage. Super Junior was the first group to ever hold 100 concerts back in 2014, and there have been dozens more since then. (They just began their 9th world tour -- Super Show 9 -- a few months ago.) So, I don't think you will run out of Super Junior things to watch for a very long time. LOL Super Junior are one of the Godfather's of Kpop and they have always been ahead of their time. They have such a wide range of songs and styles that they appeal to almost everyone, you just have to find your jam. When "Sorry Sorry" came out no one was doing what Super Junior was doing and the sound and style of the music was so new and trendy that it caught on like wildfire. And that's pretty much what Super Junior has been doing ever since. Super Junior has their own record label -- Label SJ -- which is under SM Entertainment, but also more independent, so they are able to collaborate with other Kpop artists outside of SM Entertainment and even non-Kpop artists such as Latin artists like Reik and Leslie Grace. The members range in age from 39-33.(During "Sorry Sorry" they were 26-21) That's why they have a more mature and classy look and feel to their most recent MVs and songs and that's why you often see them dressed in suites. They are all men, not boys. LOL But as you will soon discover, they are one of the most unique groups when it comes to the dynamics of the members personalities -- they truly are fun, crazy, over the top and aren't afraid to just let their freak flag fly when they interact with each other. They truly are a group of brothers that have been together for so many years that nothing is off limits and they don't hide their true selves from the cameras. LOL Super Junior are known for their story based MVs, their catchy choreography and their goofy fun concepts. Some of their other songs you should check out are "Danger" by Super Junior-D&E; "Black Suit" and "Devil" by Super Junior; and Super Junior-M's "Swing". (Super Junior-M is Super Junior's Mandarin sub-unit so if you react to them maybe consider reacting to the Chinese/Mandarin versions of the songs because that's the original version.) SJ are legends in the industry and they have paved the way for almost everything you see in the Kpop industry today. They set the standard for how Kpop is promoted around the world. They are also the first group to have serious roles in all the other entertainment industries -- setting the standard on how a Kpop star branches out into all parts of the industry. They are not only singers and dancers but members are musicians, composers, songwriters, lyricists, music and video producers, TV and movie actors, stage actors, models, radio DJs/ hosts, variety show hosts/MCs, authors, etc. Pretty much anything we think of as a standard part of the Kpop industry was created because of them. They were the first Kpop group to have non-Korean members, the first group to have dedicated sub-units and the first Kpop group to have a sub-unit that focused on producing songs in Mandarin for the Chinese audience.

Waaaaaay late! but thanks for reacting to Suju!! 💙they were still 13, but yeah Kibum didn't have any lines and you can only see him for a short bit here and there. There's also the rappers, and the leader. So you have the leader, the vocals, visuals (center), rappers, dancers... and in the case of Suju, they are all clowns as well 🤣🤣

[@finnishfriendsreact]

Ahhh, I can't believe you went back to watch this one! Love it ❤️ I kinda keep waiting for something to show that clown side of them :D I guess that's going to be the live performances, right? -Kay

[@-Pam]

@@finnishfriendsreact oooohhh yeah Suju live is the best Suju, there's even a video of SJ KRY singing beautifully with their faces cover by a bit of cake! One of the funniest lives is Rokkuko , they've done as power rangers, as Elsas from Frozen, 90's rap style, trot style (well is actually a modern trot song- traditional Korean music), opera style...and I'm sure there's more!

[@finnishfriendsreact]

Elsas from Frozen, that got me :D -Kay
