Han Geng, born on February 09, 1984, better known in Korea as Han Kyung, is a dancer, entertainer, occasional actor, singer, and a member of the Korean boyband Super Junior. He is the only Chinese member of Super Junior and is the first foreign artist to break into the Korean music industry. He is one of the two members in the group who frequently performs Chinese martial arts in Super Junior's dance routines, the other being Lee Sung Min. He is also known for his dancing skills, particularly skillful in Chinese traditional dances from the fifty-six minority Chinese ethnic groups. He is one of the four lead dancers of Super Junior and an important figure to further continue the Korean wave in China. Han Geng was also the chosen torch bearer for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, being the first boy band member to be chosen in history.
Han Geng, an ethnic Nanai from Northeast China, was born in Mudanjiang, Heilongjiang, China. At the age of thirteen, he joined Central University for Nationalities to perfect his craft in the dance industry.
When he was preparing for his graduation from the Central University for Nationalities at the age of seventeen, he was discovered in December 2001 at the H.O.T.

A year later, he was put in lessons with the rest of the trainees in SM Entertainment.
On February 06, 2005, SM Entertainment officially announced Han Geng as one of the twelve members of Super Junior 05, the first generation of the large all-male supposed rotational group, Super Junior.

Kim Ki Bum, born on August 21, 1987, also credited as Ki Bum, is a Korean actor, singer, dancer, and the second youngest member of Super Junior. He made his debut in the Korean television drama, "April Kiss" in 2004. Although debuted as an actor, he achieved higher results as a singer after his music debut with Super Junior in 2005.
Ki Bum was born in Seoul, South Korea. He has a younger sister, Kim Sun Young. He is also the cousin of famous actor and model, Shin Dong Wook. At the age of ten, he moved to Los Angeles, California, United States where he attended his high school years at Santa Monica High School.
In 2002, he was discovered by a talent agent from South Korea and was recommended to audition for the Starlight Casting System, a casting system organized by South Korea's largest entertainment company and label SM Entertainment, and also the home of top Korean Pop acts like BoA and TVXQ. Ki Bum soon signed a contract with SM Entertainment and became their official trainee, being trained in areas of singing, acting, dancing, and other performing talents such as hosting and modeling. He placed particularly strong efforts in acting, as he explained that he is most interested in that area. Although he resided in Seoul at the time, he constantly returned to Los Angeles to visit his family and to attend short school sessions.

Cho Kyu Hyun, born on February 03, 1988, more commonly credited as Kyu Hyun, is a Korean singer, dancer, and the youngest member of Super Junior. He is currently a Modern Music major at Kyung Hee University. He is also one of the first Korean artists to appear on Chinese postage stamps.
Cho Kyu Hyun's singing talents were discovered after he won third place at the Chin Chin Singing Competition in 2005. He soon signed under SM Entertainment and was featured in the video remake of TVXQ's single "Hi Ya Ya" along with other Chin Chin Idols.
Before Kyu Hyun's addition to Super Junior, the original twelve members were said to be separating and "graduating" as the band was still presented as a project group at the time, the concept being very similar to Japan's popular girl group, "Morning Musume". Although Kyu Hyun's addition to the group initially brought in an unpleasant surprise and disatisfaction within the group's fans who supported the original twelve members, his addition ended Super Junior's life as a project group and began its life as a permanent group. Kyu Hyun was quickly accepted and acknowledged by the fans as the thirteenth member of Super Junior.
Kyu Hyun's first media appearance was mysterious and not acknowledged. He made his first appearance as a part of Super Junior in a news broadcast on May 23, 2006 when the group was introducing their comeback single, "U". Kyu Hyun made his debut perforance on May 26, 2006 at SBS's I-Concert performing the new single "U", where it was also the group's first comeback performance as a permanent group. Towards the end of 2006, Kyu Hyun, along with Ye Sung and Ryeo Wook, were placed in Super Junior's first subgroup, Super Junior-K.R.Y. The trio debuted in November 5, 2006 on KBS's Music Bank. In early 2008, Kyu Hyun was placed in a third Super Junior subgroup, Super Junior-M. The subgroup specializes in singing Mandarin versions of Super Junior's Korean songs, bringing the K-pop influence over to the Chinese music industry. Super Junior-M is the first international music group in the Chinese music industry to have members of both Chinese and Korean descent. The seven-member group debuted in China on April 08, 2008 at the 8th Annual Music Chart Awards and with the release of their first single music video, "U".
