Cho Kyuhyun (born February 3, 1988), more commonly credited as Kyuhyun, is a Korean singer, dancer, and the youngest member of Super Junior. He is currently a Modern Music major at Kyunghee University. Cho Kyuhyun’s singing talents were discovered after he won third place at the Chin Chin Singing Competition in 2005. He soon signed under SM Entertainment and was featured in the video remake of TVXQ’s single “Hi Ya Ya” along with other Chin Chin idols.
Before Kyuhyun’s addition to Super Junior, the original twelve members were said to be separating and “graduating” as the band was still presented as a project group at the time, the concept being very similar to Japan’s popular girl group, Morning Musume. Although Kyuhyun’s addition to the group initially brought in an unpleasant surprise and disatisfaction within the group’s fans who supported the original twelve members, his addition ended Super Junior’s life as a project group and began its life as a permanent group. Kyuhyun was quickly accepted and acknowledged by the fans as the thirteenth member of Super Junior.| |
