I don't agree with what you're doing to my fave boyband...so I will buy company stock and take over!
Super Junior is a super sized South Korean boyband with an incredibly fanatic fanbase.

Their fanclub, known as E.L.F, has in the past driven a teenaged girl to suicide through internet harassment after she was photographed with one of the Super Junior members.

Things were quiet...for a while. And then the group's second album was released, and the video of their first single 'Don't Don' debuted. Don't Don featured a break dancing, violin playing Canadian Chinese kid named Henry Lau, a new trainee of SuJu's record label.

At first everyone loved little Henry. The boards were flooded with comments of how cool he was,and how people couldn't wait for him to debut in his own group. And then the boss man of SM entertainment dropped the news: Henry Lau would become a part of a new Super Junior sub-group that would focus on the Chinese market.   Sub -groups within the thirteen member  Super Junior wasn't new: there were already two others, but the E.L.Fs were not pleased with the news.

The addition of a new member to SuJu made them fear that the band would turn into nothing more than a project group. Like Morning Musume, with rotating members, and older ones graduating to make way for newer, cuter idols.

So the fans let their displeasure be known through little things at first. During live performances, while Henry's playing his violin solo, they would shout 'Only 13'. They started an only 13 website, with catchy little phrases like '13+1=0, 13-1=0" etc.

Then, when it became clear that meanie SM had no intention of listening to a bunch of whiny little teenagers, hundreds of them staged protests in front of the company's building. They staged several of them, in fact. The first one was a silent protest, in the second, they sang SuJu songs over and over and over again.

When that didn't work, they decided to launch the 'One Fan, One Stock Campaign'. They are now buying stocks in the company in the hopes of taking over and keeping SuJu 13 forever! To date, out of 160 million shares, the fans now own .3%

Then April 8, Super Junior- Mandarin debuted with 5 old Super Junior members, and not one but TWO new members. I still think that Father SM added in the second newbie just to piss the fans off even further. 

So far, Super Junior Mandarin's group blog has been so badly deluged with ONLY 13 messages that the commenting system has been turned off. Within HOURS of the release of their first single's music video fans had edited it to cut out the two new members.

And now finally, E.L.F is organizing a mass, world-wide boycott of the Super Junior - Mandarin album. Instead of buying the SuJu-M album, true fans are asked to buy copies of the original Super Junior's first two albums. I'm not sure how this can be considered something that SM entertainment will consider 'bad', since they'll be making money out of the masses spending their money on their artist's merchandise...but whatever...Hey, it's a better plan than buying company stocks, right?

Wow. That's...wow. I'm honestly speechless. I would like to thank them for such a clear-cut reminder that the word "fan" is derived from "fanatic" though.

Good Lord.... *sick*

Does the group at least denounce the ELF's actions?

Jesus. That girl who committed suicide... That's...uh, well, "really fucking creepy and really fucking sad" doesn't even begin to cover it.

Every Super Junior member is bonded with a contract with the SM so they cannot fully and honestly express their opinion because of the contract. It is very sad that they cannot say much about their own issue. That's why we fans have to fight against the SM for Super Junior.

So... these people really and truly believe that the original members of the group are all silently cheering for them in their heads instead of silently wishing their security staff was armed? Wow.


The time has come for fans in all ages and nationalities to unite under the name E.L.F (Ever Lasting Friends).

It stands for "Ever Lasting Friends"? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
