*KyuhyunBiased's Note: I colored Kyuhyun's words and the other members' words (which is talking about him) with this color,to make it easier :)

Super Junior’s maknae Kyuhyun whose group is enjoying the biggest popularity in Korea as well as Asia is an idol star that warms your heart. Super Junior made Asia wild through their hit songs like Don’t Don and Sorry Sorry. Aside from being part of the big title Super Junior, he recently showed off his new side with Super Junior-M and S.M. The Ballad and received big popularity in Japan, Taiwan, China and other countries.

Kyuhyun also became a new rising newcomer in musicals with his superb acting of D’Artagnan in the musical The Three Musketeers. Even though it was his first musical, the musical industry took notice of his remarkable singing talent, ability to lead the story and his natural acting skills.

The supportive fans sent rice instead of wreaths to Choongmo Art Hall where the musical performances are held. It was touching as the star and his fans’ heartwarming thoughts were conveyed to the less unfortunate who have to spend the cold winter alone. Kyuhyun said on January 25th that he will be sending over 2000 kilograms of rice to Yeouido Gospel Seongbuk church which he attends.Kyuhyun, a born believer of Yeouido Gospel Seongbuk church developed his belief by attending the church’s preschool and kindergarten. Since he was a child, he volunteered by playing the violin in the ensemble class and when he was in middle school, he played the clarinet. When the church was divided to multiple places, he continued his life as a believer in Yeouido Gospel Seongbuk church.

Kyuhyun’s mother Deacon Kim Hannah has worked as the leader of a region for over 20 years and has been volunteering in the church choir for 18 years. Kyuhyun who grew up under his mother’s prayers won an award in the bible memorization competition as a young child. He also won an award for his missionary work and diligently attended the church. He is a model student who works hard to spread God’s word and always prays diligently at Sunday masses.

“Even when I’m busy doing overseas schedule, I have a quite time in my spare time. My mind becomes at ease when I read God’s words and meditate. If I can’t go to church for some reason, the whole week gets hard for me. I always try to attend Sunday mass because bad things happen and I get dissatisfied with myself if I don’t attend mass.”

"The kid I'm looking for, you can't see him easily and he's able to see the wide world.  He loves small grass leaves" 

When I was on my way back home from watching Kyuhyun's debut stage as the clumsy country bumpkin D'Artagnan in The Three Musketeers, I thought of Camomile's song The kid I'm Looking for.  Kyuhyun, the thirteenth member of Super Junior is currently working as a musical actor.  The innocent young man Kyuhyun is living happily as D'Artagnan and has fallen in love with charms of musical curtain calls.  Kyuhyun who says he's "now somewhat used to the highly technical ad libs from the sunbaes" started the interview with his feeling about his musical debut claiming, "for the first four performances, I was getting angry with myself."       

The pretty boys of the popular Korean boyband will show off their new beastly, manly image.

Super Junior, which were formed in 2005, used to have 13 members - the most in a Korean boyband.

Three of their members are now inactive. Kang In is serving in the military, Kim Ki Bum is pursuing an acting career and Chinese member Han Geng is embroiled in a lawsuit against the band's management SM Entertainment, saying he was under a slave contract which worked him too hard.

The remaining 10 members are Lee Teuk and Kim Hee Chul, both 27; Ye Sung, 26; Shin Dong, 25; Lee Dong Hae, Lee Sung Min, Lee Eun Hyuk, all 24; Choi Si Won, Kim Ryeo Wook and Cho Kyu Hyun, all 23.

They will perform at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on Jan 29 and 30. Tickets for the first day's show were sold out within half an hour. Organisers Running Into The Sun, a subsidiary of Fly Entertainment, promptly added the second date. That, too, is selling fast.

Named Favourite Artist, Korea, at the 2008 MTV Asia Awards, Super Junior have released four best-selling albums so far. The members reply through a translator in an e-mail interview with Life!:
