Super Junior-M promises special experience for Chinese fans

Super Junior-M vowed to present Chinese fans with a special experience in Korea at the press conference for the upcoming reality show “Super Junior-M’s Guesthouse” held Monday in Seoul. 

Six of Super Junior-M‘s members -- Donghae, Ryeowook, Kyuhyun, Eunhyuk, Sungmin, Zhou Mi and Henry -- will star in the upcoming reality show “Super Junior M’s Guesthouse” that features the idols travelling together with selected Chinese fans around Korea for 5 days. 

Asked what they would do for the fans who will appear on the show, the members gave offered different answers. 

Ryeowook said that he could sing and cook for the fans while Kyuhyun wanted to act for them as he does in his musical. 

Zhou Mi, fluent both in Korean and Chinese, expressed his hope to help fellow members and Chinese fans communicate better on their trips.
Meanwhile, Eunhyuk and Donghae drew laughs with their unexpected responses.

“For the fan who chooses me, I will show them (our company’s artists) TVXQ, Girls’ Generation, EXO, SHINee and f(x). ... It would be a special experience,” Eunhyuk said.

Donghae was yet more generous. 

“I will give you an exclusive chance to meet my mom and have a phone call with my brother. And I will buy you a first-class flight ticket and take you to the airport when you go back to China,” the idol said. 

He blushed and put his head down sighing and giggling when Eunhyuk later told him how much the first-class ticket would cost.

The new kind of entertainment program that follows stars showing fans around their birth country is set to air in September on SBS and its cable channels. 

Debuted in 2008, Super Junior-M is a sub-unit of K-pop boy band Super Junior launched to appeal to fans in Chinese-speaking countries. The band consists of six members from Super Junior and two members, Henry and Zhou Mi, who exclusively perform in the sub-group.
