My Everything :)

The loneliness of nights alone
the search for strength to carry on
my every hope has seemed to die
my eyes had no more tears to cry
then like the sun shining up above
you surrounded me with your endless love
Coz all the things I couldn't see are now so clear to me


You are my everything
Nothing your love won't bring
My life is yours alone
The only love I've ever known
Your spirit pulls me through
When nothing else will do
Every night I pray
On bended knee
That you will always be
My everything

Now all my hopes and all my dreams
are suddenly reality
you've opened up my heart to feel
a kind of love that's truly real
a guiding light that'll never fade
there's not a thing in life that I would ever trade
for the love you give it won't let go
I hope you'll always know

You are my everything
Nothing your love won't bring
My life is yours alone
The only love I've ever known
Your spirit pulls me through
When nothing else will do
Every night I pray
On bended knee
That you will always be
My everything

You're the breath of life in me
the only one that sets me free
and you have made my soul complete
for all time

You are my everything
Nothing your love won't bring
My life is yours alone
The only love I've ever known
Your spirit pulls me through
When nothing else will do
Every night I pray 
On bended knee
That you will always be
be my everything

 Every night I pray
down on bended knee
that you will always be
my everything
oh my everything
saranghaeyo :))

Ye-Hyuk Couple

Ye-Hyuk ! inilah Pairing terunik dan paling jarang terjadi di Suju, tapi percayalah ...
 Ye-Hyuk couple itu memang ada, menyempil di sela-sela pasangan populer lainnya.
Saat membaca transcript SUKIRA, momen pasangan aneh bin ajaib ini-pun muncul kembali ke permukaan.
Dari mulut Eunhyuk, baru ketahuan kalau dia dan Yesung memiliki kebiasaan unik satu sama lain yang bagi sebagian orang
mungkin menilainya sebagai kegiatan “kurang kerjaan”.
Menurut Eunhyuk, setiap kali dirinya pulang berbelanja dari toko membeli barang,
beberapa hari kemudian Yesung akan pergi ke toko yang sama dan membeli barang yang sama.
Dan beberapa hari kemudian, gantian Eunhyuk yang pergi ke toko, bertanya pada shopkeeper apa saja yang dibeli Yesung dan
membeli barang-barang tersebut. Siklus ini terus bergulir dari waktu ke waktu.
Keduanya menyadari bahwa yang mereka lakukan itu seperti membuang-buang uang,
mereka bisa saja saling meminjamkan, tapi bagaimana-pun tetap saja ujung-ujungnya mereka akan membeli barang yang sama
Yah, sekedar sekilas info tentang penilaian Eunhyuk terhadap hyungnya itu ^__^
Setiap kali ditanya tentang kesan pertamanya tentang Yesung, jawaban ” Aku tidak suka gayanya !” itulah yang selalu meluncur.
Yup, Dimata Eunhyuk, Yesung terlihat sebagai sosok yang kelewat modis soal fashion.
Suka memakai banyak aksesoris yang mencolok dan Eunhyuk sama sekali tidak menyukai “style fashion” Yesung
~ kekeke ~ Tapi setelah 4-5 tahun mereka lewati bersama, sedikit demi sedikit Eunhyuk bisa melihat
bahwa Yesung tidaklah sedingin penampilan luarnya. ” Yesung-hyung orang yang sangat sensitif”
Yesung adalah member yang akan pertama kali melek dan terbangun kalau lampu kamar dinyalakan.
Meskipun sedang tidur pulas, sekalinya ada orang yang menyalakan lampu, mata Yesung otomatis langsung terbuka.
Tapi bagi Hyuk sendiri, Yesung punya kepribadian yang teramat spesial.
Eunhyuk memiliki 7 orang hyung, semuanya sering memberikan saran, masukan dan menjaganya setiap waktu.
Tapi dari kesemuanya, menurut eunhyuk, cuma Yesung-lah yang memberi saran seperti seorang bapak kepada anaknya.
” dia mirip ayahku..” dan sejak saat itu, eunhyuk beranggapan rupanya Yesung bisa menjadi kakak yang baik
terlepas dari sikapnya yang agak sedikit aneh.
Selain itu, baru-baru ini Yesung merengek pada eunhyuk agar diijinkan menjadi lead dancer di 4jb.
Tapi tanggapan eunhyuk ??? ~ wakakak ~ rasanya sulit deh ...
soalnya dimata Eunhyuk, kemampuan dance Yesung dicap “payah” ~ kkkkk ~
tapi Yesung punya pembelaan diri ” saat latihan aku tidak malas, tapi aku harus mengeluarkan style-ku sendiri “
 ~ wkwkwk ~ cumi-cumi style ???
Okelah, kalau eunhyuk tidak memandang kemampuan dance Yesung,
tapi kalau bicara soal vokal ? ” Di Superjunior, dia suara yang kami butuhkan, aku ingin melihatnya memimpin vokal kami di semua lagu
“ Menurut eunhyuk, meskipun di Superjunior ada member seperti Kyuhyun, wook, Min ataupun Hae yang vokalnya diatas rata-rata,
tapi di lagu-lagu tertentu mereka kerap berpikir bagaimana cara mereka menyanyikannya bila tidak ada yesung.
Karena di setiap rekaman lagu, Yesung adalah member yang akan pertama kali datang dan juga member yang pulang paling akhir
selain itu dia kerap memberikan masukan mengenai teknik vokal pada member lainnya.
Hanya saja Eunhyuk menilai, Yesung harus meningkatkan kemampuan dance-nya agara selevel dengan singing skill.
” Kita ini dance group ... antara nyanyi dan nari kalau bisa harus selevel kan...”

The Truth about leedonghae

Lee Dong-hae(이동해) (born October 15, 1986 in Mokpo, Jeollanam, South Korea), better known mononymously as Donghae (lit. East Sea), is a Korean pop singer and occasional actor. He is one of the four lead dancers of boy band Super Junior and is part of its subgroup, Super Junior-M. Donghae is also one of the first four Korean artists to appear on Chinese postage stamps.

Biography

Donghae was born in Mokpo, Jeollanam on October 15, 1986. Donghae initially wanted to become an athlete, but under the influence of his father, who had a wish to become a singer, Donghae decided to train himself to become a singer. In 2001, Donghae successfully signed a contract with SM Entertainment soon after he jointly won the Best Outward Appearance award with future band mate Sungmin on the company's third annual SM Youth Best Contest.Under SM Entertainment, Donghae was put in singing, dancing, and acting lessons that same year. He was then recruited into a five-member boy band Smile, with future band mate Leeteuk, but the idea was soon dropped. In 2004, Donghae- along with Leeteuk- was put into another boy band and formed Super Junior with ten other trainees. The group later became known as Super Junior 05, the presumed first generation of the rotational music group, Super Junior. Several days before the group debuted, Donghae made a brief appearance in November 2005 at SBS's Shin Dong-yup's There Is There Isn't panel.

Super junior

Super Junior (Korean: 슈퍼주니어), often referred to as SJ or SuJu (슈주), is a popular boy group from South Korea formed by SM Entertainment in 2005. With a total of 13 members, they are one of the largest boy bands in the world. The group consists of Leeteuk (leader), Heechul, Han Geng, Yesung, Kangin, Shindong, Sungmin, Eunhyuk, Siwon, Donghae, Ryeowook, Kibum and Kyuhyun. The only Chinese member, Han Geng, was chosen from three thousand applicants via auditions held in China by SM Entertainment in 2001.As of 2010, only 10 members are active, due to Han Geng's lawsuit against SM Entertainment, Kangin's leave of absence for mandatory military service and Kibum's pursuit of an acting career.However, the remaining members have insisted that they are still part of the group.
Super Junior has released and contributed in 20 different kinds of records with varying degrees of success. Over the years, they have been divided into smaller sub groups, simultaneously targeting different music industries and audiences. Largely due to Super Junior's success as entertainers, other Korean entertainment managements began to train their music groups in other areas of entertainment, such as acting and hosting.In addition to their commercial success, Super Junior has earned seven music awards from the M.net Asian Music Awards, eleven from the Golden Disk Awards, and is the second singing group to win Favorite Artist Korea at the 2008 MTV Asia Awards after JTL (consisting of Jang Woo Hyuk, Tony An and Lee Jae Won of H.O.T) in 2003.

Pre-debut

In 2001, the company held their first overseas casting auditions and discovered Han Geng in Beijing, who was chosen among three thousand applicants.That same year, Yesung was discovered under Seoul's casting system. Sungmin and Donghae were also selected to be trainees after their appearance in an SM-sponsored contest. In 2002, Heechul and Kangin were recruited along with Kibum, who was discovered in Los Angeles. Siwon was recruited in 2003 and Ryeowook in 2004, in which the later was discovered through the Chin Chin Youth Festival singing competition.In 2005, Shindong was selected. The last member, Cho Kyuhyun,was then discovered after he won third place at the Chin Chin Singing Competition in 2005.
Not long after boy band TVXQ's debut in 2003, news about Lee's unprecedented plans of forming another boy band quickly spread on the Internet. In early 2005, Lee confirmed the news and announced that an all-boy project group of twelve members would debut near the end of the year, promoting this singing group to be "The Gateway to Stardom of Asia." Lee announced that that most members in this group were chosen because of their performing experiences as actors, MCs, models, and radio hosts prior debut. Heechul and Kibum were already established entertainers, and most of the other members had already made various kinds of appearances on television and media.^[Highly inspired by the rotational concept of Japan's girl group Morning Musume, this group would also experience line-up changes, with new members replacing some selected members every year to keep the group constantly young and all-rounded. This concept was then newly introduced to the K-pop market.
For a while the group was rumored to be called O.V.E.R, the acronym for "Obey the Voice for Each Rhythm." However, before the group settled with their current name, SM simply referred to them as Junior, a representation of the members' young ages when they first became SM trainees.After the members' showcased their different talents to the company at a picnic, the company finalized their concept name to Super Junior. The group thereafter became officially Super Junior 05, the first generation of Super Junior.
Super Junior 05 made their pre-debut on the Korean channel Mnet on September 11, 2005.At the showcase, they performed various styles of hip hop dancing. The group danced to B2K's "Take It To The Floor." Han Geng, Eunhyuk, and Donghae also performed a separate dance away from the group, dancing to Usher's "Caught Up." However, the performance did not air on television until May 16, 2006 as a segment in the Super Junior Show, the group's first television documentary.

In February 2006, Super Junior 05 began performances for "Miracle", the second promotional single from their debut album. "Miracle" was the group's first single to peak #1 in online music charts of South Korea as well as the music charts of Thailand, drawing interest from international markets.As promotions for "Miracle" came to an end, SM Entertainment began selecting new members for Super Junior's second line-up project, Super Junior 06. The company even prepared a list of chosen members that were to graduate from the group. However, no members were taken out and a thirteenth member was added instead in May 2006. The line-up project has been abandoned since then, and the group became known as just Super Junior, without the suffix "05".

2006–2007: Don't Don and breakthrough success

On May 23, 2006, SM Entertainment revealed the thirteenth member Kyuhyun, who was discovered through a singing competition in 2005.

The trot-singing group released their first single "Rokkugo" in February 23, 2007 and made a debut performance on Popular Songs two days later.

Super Junior collected two more awards on December 14, 2007 at the 2007 Golden Disk Awards.Although defeated by SG Wannabe in winning the "Daesang", Super Junior won a "Bonsang" and the "TPL Anycall Popularity Award", which were reported as expected wins for the group by the media after the success of Don't Don.

2008–2009: Beyond Korea and Sorry, Sorry

Main article: Sorry, Sorry

On October 2, 2007, SM Entertainment announced a third Super Junior sub-unit Super Junior-M, a subgroup designated for the Chinese market. While the creation of the subgroup created a brief controversy between the fans and the management,Super Junior-M became a phenomenal success in China,having the opportunity to have two sold-out concerts in Hong Kong, top weekly ratings with their appearance on variety programs,and becoming the idol group with the most endorsement contracts in China.With the absence of almost half of the members in Korea, a fourth Super Junior sub-unit was created that same year to prevent Super Junior from disappearing in the Korean music industry.

Artistry

Musical style

As a whole, Super Junior has released four studio albums and one physical single, including occasional contributions to drama soundtracks. They are acclaimed for their vocal harmonization and unison as each member contributes a different voice range in their music. Leeteuk, Heechul, Hangeng, Sungmin, Eunhyuk, Donghae, and Ryeowook are all tenors. Yesung, Kangin and Siwon are baritones. Kyuhyun, Shindong and Kibum are basses.Some members are credited for their vocal belting techniques.
Super Junior works closely with Young Jin Yoo, who has produced and arranged most of the group's promotional singles since debut. Yoo's also known for creating the renowned SMP style, a genre that includes a balanced infusion of rock, R&B, and rap, with complementing musical elements such as the electric guitar, bass, and other different percussion instruments.Super Junior has prominently used this SMP style in Don't Don.
Super Junior has covered quite a few song in their albums. Their debut single "TWINS (Knock Out)" is a cover of Triple Eight's "Knockout," which was released in 2003. While the musical style is mostly maintained as the original, "TWINS (Knock Out)" touches closer to rap rock, with quicker rap and more emphasis on the bass. In most of their covers, the original titles are kept. Examples include Cape's "L.O.V.E" and Exile's "Believe." However, most of these covers are re-arranged to different accompaniments, such as H.O.T's "Full of Happiness".

Dance Style

Super Junior are known for doing performances that are heavily centered around their choreography, and are acclaimed for their highly synchronized dances. The group's pre-debut performance was a hip hop dance and they have also joined B-boy battles and performances throughout their career.
Their dance styles are widely termed as street dancing, with a majority of their choreography containing hip hop dance moves such as popping, waving, floating, and liquid dancing. Dances in the form of martial arts are widely used in their dance routines as Han Geng and Sungmin are professionally trained in that area. Shindong was the main choreographer for "U" and for a majority of the group's other dance sequences. The dance for "Sorry, Sorry" was choreographed by Nick Bass, who has also worked with Justin Timberlake. Eunhyuk choreographed the dance for "Boom Boom" and worked with the other members to create the dance choreography for "Don't Don" and "Marry U", both promotional singles for the group's second album.
