Hangeng was arrested, Shindong takes 17 second showers, and Zhoumi is sad, Wednesday April 16, 2008
This is a little sneak peak at what SJ-M talked about in their 背后的故事 interview
SJM filmed “背后的故事” for about 6 hours and revealed many stories of their past – both heart wrenching and cute. They broke the record for most number of guests as well as longest recording time.
Hangeng: Danced 20 hours a day before debut.
Up till now, Hangeng has been in the Korean entertainment industry for five years, but when you mention the sad memories, there’s a handful. His most vivid memory is during the eight months after he got accepted at the audition, and waited for SM to call him about his contract. Back then, because he wanted to help with his family’s income, he often went all over China, attending different events. Once, when he went to Shenzhen for an event, he was even arrested by the police. “Back then I didn’t know that you needed a permit to be in Shenzhen, and I had less than $100 on me, when they didn’t find a permit on me, they arrested me, and I had to wait until my friend got me a permit before I could come out”.
After he arrived in Korea, he spent two years training. “I would practice dancing every day, sometimes up to 20 hours a day”. After training for one and half years, he rang home saying that he didn’t want to do it anymore, “I didn’t have any confidence, I was very lonely, and I didn’t think that anyone would help me”. However, after his parents encouraged him Hangeng chose to persevere, and after half a year, he debuted.
Siwon: Shindong takes 17second showers.
Another member, Siwon, shares that while filming Battle of Wits, he fainted, falling forward onto his face. Luckily, Andy Lau caught him from behind just in time, saving Siwon from falling down the cliff and becoming both his rescuer and carer.Once, Andy Lau spent a whole afternoon carving Siwon’s name in Hangul.
When it came to sharing Super Junior’s amusing stories, Siwon brought up their “Shower racing”. In order to increase their sleeping time, it was necessary to decrease shower time – so they came up with the idea of a shower race. Siwon’s fastest shower time was only 1 minute 30 seconds. However the member who broke the record was Shindong with a time of 17 seconds.
Zhoumi: Saddened by fans’ boo-ing.
As well as the current Super Junior members, Hangeng, Siwon, Dongahe, Ryeowook, and Kyuhyun, SJM also has two Chinese members, Henry and Zhoumi. Zhoumi is promise Wuhan, and Henry grew up in Canada. Regarding the addition of these two new members, there has been a lot of resistance from fans who want the group to remain “Only 13” and will not accept these two members. Regarding this issue, the two new members feel very helpless, and when the host asked them how they face this, the normally quiet Henry awkwardly said “don’t know”. Zhoumi expressed that he can only accept it, “just a few hours before this, I heard fans boo-ing, it’s very unbearable, I hope that everyone will accept us in the future.”
