Super Junior’s Sungmin and Shindong defend TVXQ on Xiah Junsu’s tweet
Ever since Xiah Junsu tweeted an emotional series of messages to U-know Yunho, it seems like more and more SM Entertainment artists are coming out to defend the two TVXQ members. The latest of these public dissidents are Super Junior’s Sungmin and Shindong, who each took to their Twitter or mini-hompy to express their thoughts on the controversy.
On January 7th, Sungmin wrote,
“After keeping it in after sometime, I’m leaving this message because I feel this has gone too far. Does (he) not remember the old days when we said we’d work hard together? We were happy even when we were practicing. Did (he) really forget the times when we thought going on broadcast even just once felt like a dream? I’d like it if (he) could look in the mirror once again and think whether (he) has forgotten his rookie mindset~ I understood and forgave them for leaving us without a single word so they could find their own paths, but I don’t know why they are making fools out of people who are quietly doing well by saying all kinds of these absurd lies and hurtful sayings.”
Meanwhile, Shindong, who followed BoA and retweeted Black Beat’s Sim Jaewon’s tweet, also added,
“Enemy (敵): An opponent who wants to fight or hurt another.
Ingratitude (背恩忘德): An attitude of one throwing away their indebtedness to someone and betraying them.
In other words, saying that my family wants to fight or hurt another is an attitude of one throwing away their indebtedness to them and betraying them!”

Shin Dong posted a cute “Sorry” message for looking like flower boy Lee Min Ho.
Netizens who saw the image stated, “It’s entertaining! There’s no need to say sorry. Oppa is a unique star,” “How can this happen? Oppa, I think you’re more handsome!”, and “Haha, this is very cute. Thank you for the laugh to start off my day.”

Introducing the new F4 member, ShinDong!
About 8 hours ago, Super Junior’s ShinDong tweeted his response to the popular topic trend amongst the stars right now, “Who do they most resemble?”. ShinDong’s result? His looks have a 23% similarity to Lee Min Ho.
The caption within the photo asks, “Although not very similar, if I have to pick one…” With the ironic photo he posted, he wrote, “I’m so sorry“.
His fans replied, “You dont have to apologize, it’s funny“, “Unintended punch at Lee Min Ho“, “23%~~~ So not similar!“.
No wonder he is part of Suju, he has proof now.
ShinDong’s dressup photo garners interests
ShinDong reveals a photo of himself dressed as a female for Super Junior’s concert.
Super Junior had their 3rd concert tour ‘Super Junior THE 3RD ASIA TOUR : SUPER SHOW 3′ on 14th and 15th August at the Seoul Olympic Stadium.
And on the 14th, Shindong revealed a photo on his Twitter “I will upload a photo before I go to sleep”. In the photo uploaded, ShinDong was seen dressed up as a female, looking pretty and feminine.
Fans commented, “Who is this? She is totally glowing. From now on, I will call you unnie”, “Oppa looks really pretty. Even prettier than I am” etc. It is known that ShinDong had performed Beyonce’s ‘Single Ladies’ in the dress up.

Eunhyuk and Shindong will direct Super Show 3
Super Junior’s Eunhyuk and Shindong will become directors for their upcoming concert.
Super Junior’s rep said on the 11th, “Eunhyuk and Shindong are directing Super Junior’s concert staging.”
The rep continued, “They are watching and staging all the performances where the members are moving around a lot. They are working hard and preparing so please look forward to it.”
Eunhyuk updated his Twitter saying, “There so much to do but not enough time to do it all. Even sleeping is waste of time. Did I make a mistake becoming a stage director? Shindong, fighting for both of us!”
Super Junior’s The 3rd Asia Tour – Super Show 3 is coming up, and that’s the tour they’re staging. I’m sure they’ll pull it off.
Shindong lost weight for his girlfriend
Super Junior’s Shindong revealed that he lost weight for his girlfriend.
He talked a little about this on Strong Heart, but he gave more details on Happy Together.
On the episode that aired on the 5th, he said, “When I was having troubles with my girlfriend, I lost 53 pounds.”
Shindong also said, “Her parents were against it (the marriage) since I’m still young. They said that I would have a lot of responsibility.”
Yoo Jae Suk then joked, “Maybe they thought you were so young because you are part of Super Junior.” Shindong joked back, “Maybe it’s because of PoPoPo (a little kids’ show he did.)”
I think Shindong can handle it. If he lost all that weight, he’s obviously in love with her.
