The inhumanity! Thursday, February 3, 2011 / 6:03 PM
So this past week i went for one of my favourite bands concert in singapore called Super Show 3. Its by a band called super junior. And i was so excited to see them cause they haven't had a super show in singapore before. I was doubly excited when one of my suju crazy close friends told me that one of my members from their sub-group Suju M was going to be performing also. His name is Henry Lau and him and another guy named Zhou Mi are not officially part of the whole super junior as a band but they are in the sub-group. Henry made his first appearance playing the violin in a music video done by super junior called Don't don. This was a few years ago and apparently because of henry's appearance, it cause quite a stir in the suju fan world. Many people who idolised super junior formed an only 13 campaign and were protesting about there not being the two additional members. I'm not really sure about the details i only have a general idea. Last year in a video taken from super show 2 in shanghai, when henry and zhou mi were up on stage and singing alot of the fans were chanting stuff along the lines of "only 13" or "get off" as in get off the stage. I knew that this campaign started a few years ago but i didnt know it carried on until now. I also didn't know the extent or intensity of it.
Suju had two concerts in singapore and there was a rumor of sorts spread that when henry was performing his solo which was "Baby" by justin bieber, it was really quiet in the stands and nobody was really cheering. Me and my friend were really pissed off about that so when we went for the show and when it was henry's solo there really was silence...until me and my friends started screaming our lungs out. Thank god my friend screams twice as loud as i do. After we started screaming, more people started to scream. And as i was watching the videos recently i just kept feeling that it really is sad that alot of the fans dont accept henry and zhou mi. They are still part of the band and super junior cares about them alot. So why do those who claim to love them totally give hell to those that super junior cares about. If you think about it, wont super junior be disappointed because their fans dont like the people that they are trying to protect? I mean its kind of counterproductive. I also dont think its fair to henry and zhoumi who work so hard to do well for the fans and to impress them but in the end its never enough. I just thank god for the fans that those two have who love them so much. I know henry's fans are called strings cause he plays the violin but i dunno about zhoumi. I also thank god for the older hyungs in the group such a heechul who always tries to cheer them up and no doubt fights for them. As well as hangkyung, siwon and donhae who you can always see taking care of henry and zhoumi.
I know this may seem really rant-y but i just had to say it because i think it really is poor thing for them. I'm sure also that henry misses his family because he went to asia to pursue a dream and left his family. and the only thing he hears when he gets on stage is people either booing him or zhou mi. How do you think that would make him feel??? Okay im calm. But seriously. I just hope the two of them know that there are tons of people who love them still. Just because they only hear the hate doesn't mean there isn't love. :) So just for the record, though its totally obvious, I LOVE YOU HENRY AND ZHOUMI.
