Super Junior won’t be “complete” until 2018!
March 22, 2011I found this on facebook and I couldn’t help but cry a little inside. To me, Super Junior already wasn’t complete when Hangeng left the group last year. He filed a lawsuit againt SM Entertainment and won. Kangin then went off the the army. Next year, it has been verified that Leeteuk and Heechul will be enlisted to serve their two years in the army as well. (Kibum, come baaaack!) I found a note on facebook on the fan page Super Junior ♥ EverLasting Friends. Take a look-see at what’s coming up next for Super Junior:
~~~~~~~~~~~

2018: FULL TEAM!!
That means 8 more years till we’ll see SJ together as a whole again T__T
Kangin’s enlistment this year is understandable, but then can’t they
just choose 2 years and enlist all the other members together at the
same time? It’s not as though they have an age limit of when you go in.
If Boom can enlist at the age of 27, I don’t see how the older members
can’t wait till then and enlist together with the younger ones. The way
they’re doing it, there will definitely be a few years where no albums
will be released at all, for various reasons. And at the end of 8 years,
who knows how many ELFs will there still be left? How many fans will
wait 8 years for a group to be together again??
But looking at the number of people left over per year, it’s pretty
unlikely they would release any albums. Concert tours maybe, but albums,
not quite possible.
2011: Missing leader and most talkative people aka Heechul, Kangin, Leeteuk. Promotion activities would be quite hard.
2012: Same reason as 2011, plus missing one of the main singers aka Yesung.
2013: Possible, if they have other members to take over Yesung’s parts, possible Leeteuk or Kyuhyun.
2014: Not possible. 4 out of 6 main dancers gone (Donghae, Eunhyuk,
Sungmin, Shindong. Left with only Kyuhyun and Leeteuk) Dance
choreography will be too huge a barrier. Unless only SJ-K.R.Y. continue
with their activities.
2015: Even worse than 2014, not only with more members gone into army,
but Ryeowook, one of the main vocals will be missing. Only 3 out of 6
main dancers left in group. Even SJ-K.R.Y. activities, if any, will be
put on hold.
2016: Not possible to release album as SJ as a whole. Main dancers all
back, except Kyuhyun just join army. But 2 out of 3 (Ryeowook and
Kyuhyun) main vocals will still be in army. Unless they have activities
with SJ-T or SJ-Happy.
2017: Possible, since Kyuhyun’s the only one missing. Can probably have
Donghae, Leeteuk and Sungmin covering his parts until he return.
Only 2018 will all of them gather as a group again. But after 8 years
gap, will they still have as many fans? Not likely. Will SM still let
them release an album? That’s a question. Maybe one as an experiment,
which if their album sales are still high enough will possibly continue.
But if not, this 4th album could be the last that we see of them
together as Super Junior. Hopefully not though, especially with all the
turmoils that they went through together since they debuted. I’ve got to
say their road to being idols is much tougher than most, if not all,
other groups that I have seen. Nevertheless, it’ll be wonderful if we
can still see them together, as 13 or at least 12 after 8 years. If not
we’ll just have to settle with seeing them with their individual
activities, which I hope is not the case.

This really shows how long Super Junior has been around. And reality hits us ELFs when we finally realize that our beloved KPop idols and celebrities won’t stay young forever. Let us cherish this last year of Super Junior before they go down to 9 present in number. I really hope they don’t halt or stop activities! Support the ones in the army and pray for their safety and return to us! 2018, watch out. Super Junior’s making a full comeback, whether as a band, or reuniting as brothers.

this really hurts my heart. ); it’s up to ELFs to keep them strong and hold them up. but even if i’m the only one, i’ll be an ELF to end. i won’t stop supporting them or cheering for them. EVER. it’s the most i can do after all they’ve done for us. they’re the most amazing group i’ve ever seen. if you are a true ELF, you would keep waiting and hoping. in 7 years, it’ll be all worth it if you just keep waiting. i’ll be 20 by then but i wouldn’t care. i’ll still love them. that’s what you promise to do if you become an ELF right? if you abandon them, that’s just sad. -Ruth
