According to Korean news sources, Sina reports that Hangeng from Super
Junior, one of Asia's top idol groups, have applied with the Seoul
Central District Court for the termination of his 'exclusive contract'
with SM Entertainment. This is another bomb that dropped on SM
Entertainment since the 3 members of TVXQ, Park Yoochun, Kim Jaejoong
and Kim Junsu filed to terminate their contracts in July this year.
In
2001, Hangeng was chosen out of 3000 participants for the "H.O.T China"
auditions held by SM Entertainment based on his looks and talent in
dancing. After years of training in singing, dancing, acting,
instruments and languages, Hangeng debuted as the only Chinese member
of Super Junior in 2005, and became the first Chinese to officially
debut in South Korea. In April 2008, he was appointed the leader of
sub-group SJ-M and began activities in China. Due to his outstanding
work, he played an important role in aiding SM in breaking into the
China market.
Amongst the youth and media, Hangeng has very high
EQ and speaking abilities, and his 'sunshine' and hardworking image
left a deep impression. Before this, there were many speculations, and
even expectations, that he might go solo. His lawyer has expressed that
the full details of the case cannot be revealed yet. However, according
to the informant, it might be because there are interference to his
solo work progress, and thus resulted in his unhappiness with SM
Entertainment.
