Popular Korean group Super Junior-M (SJ-M) had a photo shoot for the fashion segment for the first time in Taiwan and they gave their inaugural photo shoot to this newspaper. 8 members respectively represented 8 different types of fashionable guys, assembling Loewe, YSL, Versace, Bvlgari and other first line brand names creating a superstar demeanour. At the photo shoot location’s dressing room, the clothes and accessories were like glittering jewels which gave much delight to the eyes. It resembled a small scale men’s boutique.

SJ-M has legions of fans following them no matter where they go, with popularity spreading across the whole of Asia. Their popularity is now steadily extending to European countries as well as Middle Eastern countries. They are popular1 like the bright red leather jacket that Siwon wore, Donghae and Eunhyuk complements with a black leather jacket, Zhoumi looking stylish in a black and white blouse, Sungmin gave an elegant interpretation of the vest, Kyuhyun and Ryeowook used their soulful eyes to add character to the simple outfits while only the youngest member Henry wore a suit for the photo shoot, challenging the precocious maturity of a youth.

Zhoumi appreciates Chinese papercutting2

The photoshoot was carried out at the Liang Gallery, Neihu, which is currently conducting a joint exhibition by 10 artists. Exhibits include arts, papercuttings, embroidery and other art forms. SJ-M found the exhibition fresh and interesting, expressing that it is a very rare opportunity to be able to appreciate art in the midst of their busy schedules. Siwon was especially serious where he repeatedly nodded to compliment the artworks. Zhoumi who hails from Wuhan especially admires a 100 yuan papercutting artpiece. “Of course I love the Chinese yuan, but it is a pity that this piece is damaged3”. He is the only member of Chinese descendant, he said with a smile that while he is in Taiwan, he would love to guest on 《女人我最大》4, expressing his love for Taiwan’s television programmes. He especially likes MC Lan Xin Mei, who starred in a TV show titled 鸡蛋碰石头 (Like An Egg Striking a Rock) over a decade ago.

Siwon makes good use of the time to read his script

The 8 members took turns for the photo shoot, and while waiting for his turn, Siwon was working hard to memorize his lines in the script, as he will be starring in the upcoming idol drama “Extravagant Challenge”. Ryeowook was also very serious but he was reading his own notes in his Chinese diary. He is recognized by the members as the one who had made the biggest progress in terms of learning Chinese. Kyuhyun on the other hand was spotted yawning as he stayed up the night before to watch a Taiwanese movie titled 《聽說》5. He watched the movie alone while drinking red wine and is thus deemed as a person who knows how to enjoy life.

Henry’s mum is from Pingdong

Who is the vain one among the members? Zhoumi was unanimously chosen because he loves shopping and buying skincare products. Whose body is the sexiest? Eunhyuk without hesitation said “I have a good shoulder line and six pack abs”. Ryeowook also gave him his vote. A beautiful melody can be heard in the photo shoot location, and it was actually Henry making a spontaneous improvisation on the piano. Henry started learning piano and violin when he was 6. His mother is from Pingdong while his father is from Hong Kong. Henry has an adorable baby face, making it difficult for people to make out his age. He joked saying that he is only 15 causing people around him to both doubt and believe his words at the same time. In the end he confessed that he is already 21.

Donghae likes Taiwanese girls

SJ-M are having a 2-month long stay in Taiwan. They recorded a travel programme not too long ago where they went to Pingxi to release the sky lantern and to taste the stinky tofu6. In order to understand Taiwan’s culture, the members are diligently learning Chinese. They tested Sungmin on his Chinese level, and he pieced together a sentence which said: “My Chinese teacher is abnormal”, causing people to immediately spurt their rice, showing his potential in variety shows. Donghae said that Taiwan girls are very attractive and has a deep impression of model Lin Zhi Ling, openly declaring: “I’m a fan of her movies!”
