Super Junior's BIJIN reviewed on the Jukebox

Super Junior's "Bijin" is reviewed today at the Singles Jukebox. I wouldn't say I get Super Junior; I was one of the low scorers. Here's the Korean-language original, which I'd have given an extra point, raising it to 7:

I'm really fond of this song! I don't really 'get' SuJu as an 'entity' (I never quite followed their 'teams' and lost track of what was going on with them after a while). However, perhaps I'll go and watch the TV programme where they sit around in pyjamas, have a pillow fight and generally Do Each Other's Hair again. This is great.

(Weeeren't they getting involved in litigation a while ago, or some of them were...)

Han Geng sued for his freedom - to get his contract revoked, anyway - and now has his own career in Mandopop. A court ruled in his favor (according to Wikip), but SM Entertainment have appealed. The rest of the band say that they still consider him a member of the group and that they miss him (again according to Wikip).



The following day, December 22, 2009, Han Geng's lawyer released the reasons for the contract termination: the contract had provisions in SM Entertainment's favor, the 13-year contract length was unlawful, it would take an unfair sum of money to end the contract, he was not allowed to request to revise his contract, he was forced to do things that were not in his contract, he was forced to do things against his will, he was fined if he disobeyed the company, missed any events or was late, and there was unfair profit distribution. Along with this, it was disclosed that because of SM Entertainment's refusal to give him a day off in over two years, he had developed gastritis and kidney disease.

By the way, thanks for posting here. Come again. If you ever scroll down the comments on my K-pop threads, you'll see that the topic often turns to J-pop; not that I have much to say about it, since I don't know it, but anhh will often write quite a bit.
