The best day recently. guess what, No Other-Super Junior, the title single of their repackaged album is a great hit!!! so far I don't see anyone dislike this song (on YT and SJ-World.net, where most of ELF be), unlike Bonamana which had some antis even since the beginning lol So this means a really good beginning for the boys to be in the top on the charts and maybe the album sales!! I really wanna buy Version A and C but still hoping on some alternatives way to make sure it will be counted on Hanteo. Buying from YesAsia may be the easiest way, but w/ rumor of it's not counted, I don't wanna take the risk.
Then I get news about Kangin participated in Short Journey, one of the new song in Version C. Whoot whoot!! I'm not a fan of Kangin but it's really nice to hear his voice after all this time. And I adore him as a brother of the members and a lovely member of SuJu, so I still support him regardless his incident. Pretty sad that he will enter the army soon. Wish all the best for him.
And finally!!! I succeed registering to Soribada hahahaha... God, I'm so damn happy because I almost gave up after failing for ages. I had tried registering once but something was wrong w/ my phone no so I was kinda surrender. Last night, after reading the thread about trial listening in SJ-World.net again, I was encouraged to try again. So I went to Soribada and did the registering thingy, just for once again, got disappointed. The site kept telling me that my nick had been used before (ok, maybe it was) regardless how many times I changed it. At the end, I gave up and went sleep.
Today I opened my mailbox and DANG!! Soribada's confirmation email was there XDDD I tried to sign in and succeeded!!! Thanks God, now I can at least do something to support the boys. I'm not a member who kept telling people to do the trial listening w/o doing that myself anymore^^
From now on, Soribada!! I will attack you 24/7!!
If you're a foreign ELF and wanna support the boys, please go to http://sj-world.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=34948 to get the tutorial of how to register and do the trial listening. It may feel complicated at first (please don't be mad lol) but it's worthy^^

ELF, Let's Make 2010 Super Junior's Best Year Ever
Ah~ lately Bonamana position in charts really scare me to hell. Okay, they won Mutizen in Music Bank and Inkigayo, but last week they got #4 and this week even #5 in Mubank!! I never dare to hope that they can repeat the Sorry-Sorry success but this rocket drop really shocks me. If they got at least #3 then I won’t complain but… even when they got #4, ELF were afraid and did more trial listening to get it up but this week is even worse. It’s like no matter how many times ELF do the trial listening, they just keep dropping T.T
It’s really frustrating for me because as a foreign ELF, I can do almost nothing for trial listening (and that’s what matters the most in MuBank counting). I tried so hard registering to Soribada as it’s the only one (maybe) possible for foreign ELF to register, but ended up stuck in the process. I stated that I did the trial listening on some sites, but I’m not sure if they’re counted as I wasn’t registered. The only way to help them may be through the album sales, but if I buy the one in
You may wonder why we ELF so eagerly want our boys to be the best this year. As you know, Super Junior members are not in young age-the magnae Kyuhyun is 22 years old, and the oldest-Leeteuk and Heechul-are 27 years old already. Next year will be their last year to complete the military service, so we will impossibly see them 13 or even 10 on stage anymore. The best possibility is Kibum will finally join them so we still have 9 members (which are already empty for Super Junior). Well, not that I don’t wish Hangeng to come back, but the possibility is kinda small =( Then the following year Kangin may come back, but it’s Yesung’s turn to go, so still 9 members. The following year, Leeteuk and Heechul come back; Shindong goes (10 members, best case). Next is worse; Sungmin, Eunhyuk, Donghae, & Siwon go together, so although Yesung may come back then, only 7 members will present. Kibum, and Ryeowook are also in the same age, so the following year is the worst: only 6 members (omo it’s even less than U-Kiss T.T). Then finally, the 86-line trio will come back the year Kyuhyun goes, so we will get 8 members back. The following year will be the 87-line trio coming back (11 members), and finally, thanks God, 12 members back in the following year.
If they go in this order, it will take 7 years for them to be complete again. 7 years, dear; it’s longer than what they’ve gone through till now. Leeteuk and Heechul will be 34 years old then and the rest will as well enter the age where they should have family and different life. Do you think Super Junior will still exist as how it is now? I, honestly, don’t think so. It’s always devastating to hear Leeteuk saying that nothing lasts forever, but… well, we want Super Junior to last forever of course (that’s ELF existence) but is it even possible? All I can say is Super Junior will always be in ELF heart, no matter that they don’t sing, dance, and perform together anymore (listening to Coagulation while typing this, I can’t help my tears from flowing down.. bad idea..)
Okay, back to topic. In the nutshell, this year is probably the last year they can be together. Bonamana is possibly their last album. SS3 may be their last
I believe we can (typing this, I feel as the worst ELF since I can only speak w/o action).
I WILL TRY MY BEST.
SJ-World.net-best Super Junior international fandom ever^^
This time I wanna talk about one of the biggest and most awesome Super Junior international fandom, SJ-World.net. If you’re an ELF, esp. international ELF, I’m sure you must know this fandom. It is the fandom that had donated (3900 USD!!) to UNICEF under Super Junior’s name (the boys know it and it’s on the news!!), the fandom that gave special birthday presents for each member last year (some of them used the gifts e.g. Leeteuk), and possibly the fastest and most accurate fandom I’ve ever known (two thumbs up!!)
I joined SJ-World.net for more than two months, and now I’m a Super ELF lol (you need 250 posts to be in that position). I find it so amusing and interesting to follow the news of the boys (What’s New?), spazz for the photos and videos (official and fancam) (Photo Dayz and Boys in Motion), discussing about each member (Individual Members) and groups (Super Junior & Sub-units), and introducing self and knowing ELF around the world. With more than 35k members from 63 countries, you can expect how colorful and various the site is. Everyone has his/her own bias but keeps the love for all 15 members. No bashing and spamming (the rules are kinda strict XD but reasonable) so we can discuss our opinions freely in a healthy condition. The admins and mods organizing the site well, the uploaders and members keep uploading the daily news, pictures, and videos about the boys, the dedicated members giving comments and infos, and some creative members making gifs, fan fictions, anime; altogether expressing our love and dedication to the boys.
When we see the boys wearing our gifts, or when they mentioned about the donation and we see our site front page on TV, we feel damn proud and happy. Even as a member who hasn’t contributed anything to the boys, I feel so proud that I’m one of the mentioned 30k members. Moreover for the admins, mods, donators, and members who has worked so hard supporting the boys since their debut; they must feel more proud and grateful that finally our boys know and appreciate their love and effort. Being member of this site, I feel the warmth and love of all ELF around the world toward the boys. In the case of Hangeng’s lawsuit, Kangin’s incident, and Kibum’s absence, I see all ELF united together to support them. Even now Hangeng is doing his own activities in
We may be just one of 10000 fans out there, far away from them, separated each other. They may never read whatever we write or speak, may never know how much we love them, how meaningful they are for us, but when there’s a way for us to support them, we will definitely go for it. It feels so nice to know that at least you can be useful for your idol. If all ELF think like this, the effect will be huge though. I do think ELF has been like this, thus the boys can stand strong with all the conflicts and incidents till now. I’m a proud ELF =D
So if you feel that you’re an ELF but haven’t joined SJ-World.net yet, go visit and join the site now!! There’s always new member everyday and you will get welcomed so warmly!! Only you need to follow the rules and all will be fun. Although we’re not official ELF, but our love toward Super Junior is just in the same portion, and the boys know our existence =D go SJ-World.net go!!
It Has To Be Yesung =D
Well, I didn’t remember exactly why or when I was attracted to Yesung; I just found him adorable, cute, lovely, and has a really nice smile (it was even before I knew he had such a wonderful voice and charm >.<). From the SS2 Malaysia fancams, I spotted some Yesung focus so I watched them. I realized that he is really a hard worker; he still managed to give his best even he was very ill (I saw him could barely walk on the stairs when they sang Disco Drive TT), and sang his part so perfectly. I also watched a fancam of him singing Resignation (I could only see his back in the show) and was mesmerized of both his voice and his expression. He puts total feeling when singing so the song deeply shoots and hooks the heart (I know they’re weird choice of words, but that’s how I feel every time I listen to him).
After researching, I also found him singing a lot of background voice and harmonization (I admire him so much because I’d felt how difficult to do harmonization, singing differently than the majority does) so perfectly. He contributes much in making the song sounds interesting and special (we all know that =D) especially in Neurago and Angela (love it). But his personality really caught me; the most words fans use to describe him were dorky, weird, and quiet. He was obviously not among the popular members because he isn’t the best looking, the best dancer, or the best performer. Yet, his voice is unquestionably the best in Super Junior (some of you may vote for Kyu & Wookie though). I love Kyu’s and Wookie’s voice, but Yesung’s way of singing and his husky voice, singing the parts which others may not capable of, makes him the winner for me^^
Yesung. Most of you might not recognize him when you first know Super Junior (me too). Most people said it was because he’s quiet, but how come he’s not quiet when most of his talking part was cut?? He talks a lot; he loves to be part of the show, but IDK why the editor kept cutting his. I never find anything wrong in him, yet his voice is so beautiful and comforting (especially when singing). He’s not weird; I would prefer to describe him as unique. He likes to be himself although people think differently. He is dork because he wants to entertain people, the same reason why he did those silly things in EHB. Like what Kibum said, Yesung sacrificed his idol image in order to bring the fun. You will find him being bullied by the members most of the time (despite that he’s the fourth oldest in the group) but that’s exactly why we love watching them. Yet some people find him weirdo (all my SuJu-fan friends do) and put him aside.
I always wonder why people never looked at his talent, but then I guessed it’s because he was never allowed to show the best of him. His part of singing in those famous singles like Miracle, Don’t Don, Sorry Sorry, Twins, and even in the newest, Boom Boom, is so small. I know that not much of singing part can be expected from a 13 people group, but I find that it’s just not fairly divided, not only toward Yesung, but some other members too. The screen time was worse; no wonder that his mother got so excited when she finally saw him on TV for 3 seconds, only 2 weeks after the single released. The fact that he was not a good dancer lessened his screen time (but c’mon, is it fair??) yet he, along with the other lead vocalists, contributed mostly to the song. He just needs more chance…
IDK about his relationship with the members, but most of the time he was seen alone. When the members were busy with their jobs, he stayed in the dorm. When I read about this, although it was something happened years ago (and now he’s well known) I couldn’t help but feeling sorry for him. He got the talent, he got the look, but he was treated differently. Never blame his “crying for attention” (I find this phrase harsh though) because if you feel that your talent is wasted you will do the same thing too. He never does anything wrong to get attention though; indeed, he kept practicing and learning to be the best and recognized by people.
As we can see now in 4jib, he has got his way. His dance and singing have improved enormously that I see people get shocked by this cutie =D His charm shines well, and fans (including me) keep questioning what’s different with him. It’s true that his hairstyle got really cool and suits him, his abs develop quite well (gotta admit that abs add so many plus to the boys), his voice gets more heavenly and widely recognized (thx to Cinderella’s Sister OST and Hong Gildong), and he gets better in reality show. But still, there’s something different in the way he smiles, stares, speaks, and even moves. Also, lately I see many people describing him as handsome (which are rarely seen before) and yeah it’s true!! I have my own folder for his photos, and most of them is categorized as handsome (and sexy XD) Someone did mention that he looks more confident nowadays, and I agree that’s the key. The way he performs on stage, like he really enjoys his self and feels sure that he looks perfect up there, changes him from a silly boy to a shining star. Well maybe I haven’t known him for long, but I did dig his past pictures, videos, and news so I can come up with a conclusion that... YES, he has improved a lot.
I’m not sure how his personality is, but in the past, he tended to be cool and quiet (sometimes emo), explaining why he was often overshadowed by the other members. Then maybe he decided that it wasn’t good for his image, so in some show like EHB, he started acting funny and dorky, but it gives him fit name like “dork”, “weird”… Some fans might like him because of that, but some, like my friend, got worse impression of him. Even now, she still asked me how I can poorly pick Yesung as my biased from 13 members (Grrrrr~~) He may not be a dancing machine like Eunhyuk, not as handsome as Donghae & Kyuhyun, and not as attractive as Heechul. For me, he is more than all of them summed up. Well, I’m not gonna spazz here as it will be mostly taken as biased opinion^^ I believe fans can find themselves our Kim Jong Woon’s, our Yesung’s special position in Super Junior as in our heart.
So!! Since I’m Yesung biased, you will find most of the topic here is about him^^ and Super Junior as well.
A non-official ELF is born^^
Wah~ I just finished my trial listening at Bugs, Melon, Cyworld, and Soribada (OMG finally.. after 6 hours trying) to Bonamana, Super Junior 4th Album title single. Well it’s actually Miinah, but all chart put Bonamana instead of Miinah, so I’m kinda used to this name.
You may wonder why I spent those precious hours to do something precisely just trying to open those websites with my super lousy and slow internet connection. Well, I’m proudly stating here: I am Super Junior Fan. I may not be an official ELF (I’m not Korean) but it doesn’t really matter. As long as I can support and help Super Junior to be the best, I’m satisfied enough. Of course my effort is meaningless compared with those ELF who give all their love, time, and care to the boys. But at least, it’s better than doing nothing right?? As foreign fan, what I can do is limited, but I’m trying to do my best.
It’s weird that I became Super Junior fan only since 2 months ago, but I’ve been so much into them. Super Junior has debuted almost 5 years ago, right? So it’s kinda late for me to be their fans now. Honestly, I wasn’t interested at all with K-Pop. The only Korean group which I knew was TVXQ because I saw them performing once on TV XD It was my friends who were addicted to Super Junior. At first, I thought that they were overacting, as they saved so many photos of their favorite members (like exactly what I’m doing now ><). Don’t blame me; I still haven’t been struck by the charm of these gorgeous boys then.
One night, Super Junior appeared on one show (I forgot what it was, something on MTV) which told their stories from the beginning of their debut till then. My friends who were crazy fan of Super Junior told me the name of each member. Don’t laugh at me; I couldn’t differentiate between Leeteuk and Ryeowook LOL. One of my friends is a fan of Donghae so she kept showing me his photo which helped me to remember him. Then Kibum is the cutest one so I was kinda attracted to him. Siwon is the best looking, Heechul is the “beautiful” one (I saw “U” MV first), and Shindong and Eunhyuk are the rappers & dancers so I remembered them faster. Sungmin, Hangeng, Kangin, Kyuhyun, and Yesung were harder to be recognized and remembered. It took me some time to memorize all their names, and I was like a 7-year-old child who tried to memorize all zodiacs =) The first song I loved was Miracle because they looked so happy and childish there (now I prefer their sexy appearance in 4jib) and Don’t Don. My friend kept telling me that she hated Don’t Don for their colorful hair and dark image but I loved their dance there. Till now, Don’t Don is still the best dance ever (with the hip thrust and everything =p)
Then coming Super Show 2 in
Getting the ticket was tough journey. Because the pre-sale had already ended, we had to buy from the official one, which was in Bukit Bintang, about 30 minutes by taxi from my place. Taking taxi would contribute much to our already expensive ticket so we took LRT (the first trial!!!) and fortunately arrived there one hour just before the selling. We anticipated that there would be crowded but indeed, it was okay. Some girls stood there and we stood so close behind them, afraid of being tripped LOL The Sorry-Sorry cover dance by a group of boys was cool but of course never compare them with Super Junior =D
Finally at 12.00 pm, the sale begun!!! We managed to get the ticket for Rockpitt A with discount, RM 390 (my friends who got the normal price ticket (RM 458) from the pre-sale really envied us) and stayed there to watch the rest performance. Some lucky participants got free ticket. A lot of Malaysian ELF there (they all wore blue shirt with some writings indicating ELF) and even they had already screamed so loud-it was just cover dance!! One girl danced to Sorry-Sorry and she was good. We started to become more excited =)
After one month saved in my box, on 20th March 2010, my luxurious Super Show 2 ticket was finally brought out. My friend suggested us going at 2.00 pm (the show started at 7.00pm) because a lot of fans would go there so early. So we took taxi to Bukit Djalil, got lost for awhile, and finally arrived at the stadium.
Shocked.. surprised.. unbelieved.. O.M.G. What the ****!!!! The sea of blue fangirls lied from every entrance to the field for about 10 meters long 0__________________0 some of the girls brought blanket, pillow, floormat, food, drinks, bolster…… they spent the whole night there to be the first .. WOW.. ELF is unbeatable. We were amazed.
Here you can see how we lined up:
Act wisely, we chose to line up behind because some ELF had already showed ready-to-fight face when we stood near the entrance (we were just too confused, OMG). You know, the sunshine was plainly baking us (it might be 37 Celsius and my skin burnt; I still have the spot till now) and I just had one umbrella to cover four of us. Oh my lovely umbrella, I just threw it away when the guard said it wasn’t allowed in. Now I’m kinda regret it T.T We also made one board with our names and a big INDONESIA LOVE SUJU a
long with all members name
(we threw it to the stage at the end, and I thought Yesung saw it, but I might be wrong ><) While waiting, I bought a blue lightstick, got a little white light (all fans lightened it during Shining Star, it was so beautiful) and the schedule of their performance.
We met other Indonesian fans (they deliberately flew to 
and saw a big group of Singaporean ELF along with some Vietnamese and Korean fans. Most of them were fans of Donghae, Siwon, and Kyuhyun (ok, they’re three god of best looking kekeke~). Kibum wasn’t there, so I was like having no favorite member.
Honestly speaking, during the queuing, I felt so bored and tired till I kept questioning myself why I was there, tortured and exhausted; I wasn’t really their fan after all. As time passed, all fans got emo and easy to fired up. The atmosphere went hot and a little mistake would easily bring the chaos. Moreover, during waiting, there were some riots. IDK whether some members really showed up outside (for me it’s just hoax) but the fans got so excited and kept pushing each other to see their idols. The issue of a girl faint made us panic since we also felt extremely tired, hungry, and thirsty. Every time there were movements inside the building, we would be pushed against each other and the scream could bring you craziness in such a hot weather. Keep yelling other to stop pushing us, my friend even got a fight against one girl who tried to trip our line. The situation was getting worse as 7.00 pm got closer. All fans yelled at the guard to open the gate and kept pushing upward.
And when the GATE OPENED, you can guess what happened: all screamed, pushed, yelled, kicked, and even punched to enter those heaven gates. 
We had to hold hand each other otherwise we would get separated. So grateful to have one nice girl allowing me to get in front her (the line was messed up and it wasn’t clear who stood behind whom), I guessed she was a Vietnamese ELF^^ Even at the entrance, the guard made it worse by all the check and throw; my drink and umbrella were the victims T.T Passing the guard, we ran through all the way to the best place right just before the stage, next to the straight way connecting the first and second stage (actually, it wasn’t the best position, we regretted it later) because we thought that they would walk there frequently so our chance of seeing and greeting them would be higher. It was indeed really close, we were just below them, not even 1 meter far, so we could see their face very clearly =DDD Again, my friend quarreled with one girl who stole our place when we went out for some troublesome friend’s ticket (they let their ticket with my friend but they came very late, so annoying) so the situation was tense.
As 7.00 pm approached, the fans kept shouting Super Junior because they were seen nowhere. 
The wide 
screens teased us a lot by showing the pictures of the boys along with their advertisement and sponsor thingy. Every time the boys were shown, fans would go wild and scream (they did the pretty cool wave action). Later I knew that our screaming could be heard from backstage in Siwon’s interview (Yey!!) The show was delayed for about 1 hour, but fans excitement never stopped. I was so thirsty without any drink for the next three hours so I couldn’t give my best fangirl screaming =( Finally guys, at 8.00 pm the boys appeared……
At first, the screen went dark. Not many of us screaming because we thought that it was just another advertisement session, but then the video of Super Junior came out!!!! OMO we all went wild!!! Literally!! Begun with a cheerful park where everybody looked happy, suddenly those blue shiny balls came down and froze everything. 
Each blue light transformed into each member which made us did 13 full-volume screams!!! I realized fans screamed most loudly when Kangin, Kibum, and Hangeng appeared in the video (I’m proud of ELF sympathy for them). After all members shown, the screen went dark again. I looked everywhere, every angle and every side to find any member but it was just too dark. Then suddenly each member popped out from nowhere to everywhere!!! I really envied the seated audience since the members popped out just next to them!!! Some members did come out on the stage but it was too dark to see who they were. ELF, you know, was just indescribable. How they screamed, yelled, shouted, I couldn’t explain yet you know it was epic =)
Their first song was not familiar for me so I couldn’t sing along. Some fans near me memorized all the song (I could tell she wasn’t even Korean) and sang along for the next three hours!! I wonder how they could keep their voice; mine was getting used up although I forced myself during Sorry-Sorry, Neurago, and Rokkugo. I just remembered they danced to the first song, U, Don’t Don, Sorry-Sorry, Rokkugo, and Neurago (not in order).
The other song I knew was only Miracle XD We never stopped yelling the members name when they were close, but they just walked by, NEVER EVER looked at us. I never blame them though (with that gigantic number of audience, I never expected they would see us) but my friends got disappointed. Fortunately they did Sorry-Sorry on the first stage so we could see them very clearly... OMG they were so gorgeous, so unreal, just like what we usually saw on TV. Because we were so close, their outfit and movement could be observed clearly. My friend realized that Siwon wore green underwear ROFL (I didn’t even see that). The one attracted me was Yesung because he seemed so tired even at the beginning. He walked slowly, wasn’t active like the others, and often bowed down (he did it first near me); I was like “What’s wrong with this boy? Is he bored with the show??” Well, later I knew that he was sick then (very sick indeed) and I regretted to ever think that he didn’t appreciate us =(((
The show continued with the solo of some members. I didn’t really pay attention though I spotted that Yesung’s voice was so nice (now I know that his voice is not nice; it’s heaven). Wookie’s solo got me a bit excited because I know the song Insomnia. When KRY+Sungmin sang What If and spin at the middle of the stage, we kept shouting their name (I’d already memorized their names yay!!) but the only one who looked at our place was Kyu (actually I’m not sure whether he “really” saw us). He looked there two times and we were so excited, talking about it for the rest of the show =D The other songs were performed mostly on the second stage, so we could only see their backs and relay on the big screens to see their face. The worst part was I was too thirsty, hungry, tired, exhausted, and not knowing most of their songs so I couldn’t enjoy the show. Indeed, I was wondering when the show would end (poor me) so after they sang Marry U and announced the end of the show, I was (maybe) the only one felt grateful (please don’t blame me, now I regret that the show was just 3 hours long). When fans shouted Encore, I was like, “oh no, please don’t let me endure this any longer.” Anyway, when they lined up on the second stage (only got their backs, again) and said goodbye, we kept shouting their names (my friend shouted,”HENRY!!!! and I was whispering instead of shouting, “Oppa, saranghaeyo~”). It was sad to think that they might not come here again T.T
Kyu then became my favorite, simply because he was the only one who had something (I can’t say it was real contact) with us in the show (pity us). Well Shindong did shot the water gun toward us XD I gathered his info, enough to know that Kyu was maknae, he was one of the leading singer, and so on. But I never got biased with him. After the show, I became Super Junior fan (kinda weird huh) so I went over all the fancams of their show in
That’s how an ELF is born ^^
