On January 15th, the first day of the 27th annual Golden Disk Awards was held at Sepang International Circuit in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and Super Junior took home three awards.

Super Junior was recognized for the achievements that they made with sixth full-length album ‘Sexy, Free & Single’, and won the grand prize ‘Disk Daesang’ as well as ‘Disk Bonsang’ and ‘MSN South East Asia Award’.

The members remarked, “We are standing here all because of your love. We’d like to share this honor with our fans, managers, Mr. Lee Soo Man, and president Kim Young Min. We’d also like to share this honor with Leeteuk, who could not make here because of military service.”

Eunhyuk brings laughter as he subtly makes reference to the photo incident on ‘Strong Heart’


Eunhyuk had viewers as well as the other stars on set laughing as he subtly brought up his previousphoto incident in a light-hearted way.
On ‘Strong Heart‘ that was aired on the 15th, baseball player Lee Yong Kyu discussed the attention he received during the 2009 World Baseball Classic in the Korea-Japan match. Lee Yong Kyu was hit on the head by the ball thrown at him by the opposing team’s pitcher and the news made headlines left and right.
Eunhyuk commented, “From March 5th, 2009 to the 24th during the WBC, Lee Yong Kyu was searched more than 1,950,000 times on portal sites. It’s exponentially more than Lee Min Ho‘s, whose drama ‘Boys Over Flowers‘ was ranked #1 in terms of ratings during the time.
He then added, “My search ranking used to be 235th place… But now, it’s probably gone up a lot,” hinting at his photo incident in a subtle manner. The studio was brought to laughter as Eunhyuk good-naturedly joked about it, and MC Shin Dong Yup could not help but tease as he feigned innocence as he asked him to explain, commenting, ”Just why did it go up?” causing everyone to chuckle again.

TVXQ To Release The Japanese Version Of 'Catch Me' In Their New Single On The 16th



TVXQ will be releasing a new single in Japan and pursuing activities there once again.

The Japanese version of ‘Catch Me -If you wanna’ and ‘I Know’ will be included in TVXQ’s 36th Japanese single.

‘Catch Me’ was the title song of TVXQ’s 6th album, which was released last October as their first Korean album in one year and eight months, and is a new-age dance song that combines electronic sound with an orchestra, as well as dub step and an easy-to-follow melody. The song has already become a hot topic for being chosen as the title song for the FujiTV suspense drama ‘Saki’, which began airing on the 8th.

The second song ‘I Know’ is a melodious ballad that expresses the feelings of a man who swears an eternal love for his beloved, who has already changed her mind. The group plans to entrance their fans with a new kind of charm with ‘I Know’ as it is completely different from the powerful and charismatic title song ‘Catch Me’.

Meanwhile, TVXQ will be starting their Dome Tour on the 27th of April at the Saitama Super Arena, as well as Tokyo Dome, Osaka Kyocera Dome, Fukuoka Yahoo! Japan Dome and Sapporo Dome.
