A gift befitting for the tenth year anniversary; SM Entertainment has confirmed granting a new exclusive label for Korean pop boy group, Super Junior.
Super Junior, its 13 members at its peak now left with 11, is given their new subsidiary under Label SJ. Reportedly, Super Junior is the first group under SM Entertainment to have the exclusive specialized sub-label. The group very much deserves this as they're one of the most famous idol group that not only propelled the agency's name and reputation, but also played a significant role to boost K-pop's popularity.
In line with this news, all eleven of the Super Junior members - leader Leeteuk, Heechul, Kangin, Yesung, Sungmin, Shindong, Donghae, Eunhyuk, Siwon, Ryeowook and Kyuhyun have renewed their contracts with SM Entertainment. Since their debut on Nov. 6, 2005, the group is one of the agency's major contenders for competing with other idol groups.
Super Junior does not only have a group of singers and dancers, but they also have members partaking in the acting industry, like Donghae and Siwon. Currently, Siwon has been one of the hottest topic of fans with his role in ongoing Korean drama "She Was Pretty." Of course, where Siwon's name goes, Super Junior follows. The same is true for other members who have taken careers in emceeing, hosting, and even musicals. This means that Label SJ will have to support current projects and appearances other members make.
Moreover, to celebrate the group's tenth anniversary all the better, fans of Super Junior built a "SJ School" in Africa. It was mentioned before that it is one of their dreams to one day establish a school for the less fortunate. And with the help of their devoted fans, a fundraising was held and it was able to realize the group's wish - helping provide education to students in need, the 'SJ School'.
And now that Label SJ is created, it will surely help improve Super Junior further. The label was created specifically for this idol group, in which it will aim to assist in promoting the group's overall activities and even each of the member's projects.
