191115 Meet SuperM, the Team of K-Pop Superstars That Became One Big Family

SuperM has arrived. It’s late afternoon in Los Angeles, and voices can be heard floating through the halls of Capitol Records in L.A., muffled and low. They’re just out of sight, but if the video teasers for the K-pop supergroup’s debut are to be believed, the seven members will turn the corner burning with a smoldering intensity, walking with the confidence of an elite squad of K-pop assassins trained to vaporize the competition with a single look. All have been hand-picked for this mission from some of K-pop’s most successful groups: Taemin from the legendary SHINee, Kai and Baekhyun from the record-breaking EXO, Mark and Taeyong from the massive 21-member group NCT, and Ten and Lucas from NCT’s Chinese subunit WayV. Together, they are an industry team of aces, pairing powerful performance with immense individual skill in dancing, singing, and rapping.

But as they find their seats around a massive marble conference table, they’re more like a bunch of brothers at summer camp. Kai, an often blush-inducing dancer, has pulled the arms of his sweater over his hands to create soft paws and is hiding behind them as he whispers to giggling rapper Lucas. Baekhyun, the group’s leader and stunning vocalist, scrunches his nose in frustration as he struggles to open a water bottle. One by one, each member relaxes into their chairs and widens the gap between their slick onstage personas and their sweeter offstage selves.

Taeyong looks softer than his icy rapper persona as he yawns and stretches, the blinding silver highlight on his cheeks catching the sun as he adjusts the waves of his purple hair. Ten, usually a brooding dancer, is disarmingly friendly. When a part of the conversation strikes him as funny, he looks around the room to find someone else who is laughing and wrinkles his nose at them as if to say, “Isn’t this all so silly?” Mark, the youngest, is usually the excitable little brother of NCT. But as SuperM’s strongest English speaker (he’s actually from Toronto, Canada, originally), he matures into a calm and collected translator and only ages down again when caught in a fit of laughter.

The member with the biggest gap between onstage and off is Taemin, the group’s most senior member in terms of experience, who was selected from one of K-pop’s foundational groups, SHINee, and boasts one of the most successful solo careers in the history of the industry. When performing, Taemin is wickedly villainous, sensual, and sophisticated. In a recent interview, Taeyong went so far as to describe Taemin’s stage presence as “a bit immoral.” But offstage, in this conference room, Taemin’s small frame is almost swallowed up by his chair. He likes to hold water in his cheeks so that they puff out like a fish, and his big, round eyes, which are usually narrowed for effect when he performs, stare blankly from beneath his shiny blonde bob. He is so quiet that he sometimes appears to not be paying attention at all, but then one of the other guys cracks a joke and his entire face lights up.

The group is in high spirits, coming off of an intense October weekend of stateside promotion that included their first official appearance as SuperM, the debut of the music video for their single, “Jopping,” the release of their eponymous debut mini album, and a performance for thousands outside of Capitol’s iconic headquarters in Hollywood. SuperM carries on the legacy of SM, one of K-pop’s oldest and most-revered entertainment agencies. “If you ask me, I’d say what the world now considers K-Pop began with SM Entertainment,” says Taemin, through an interpreter, as Ten nods in agreement. “SM was the very first company to take musical influences from Western culture and incorporate Korean culture into that by rearranging and writing lyrics with our style.” When Taemin finishes, he turns to Kai in embarrassment and says, “I’m too proud of SM, huh?” But Taemin is right; the company created what is considered to be the first modern K-pop idol group, H.O.T., in 1996, and has been a dominant player in the space ever since.

The guys don’t show it, but they are under an immense amount of pressure. SuperM was conceptualized and produced by the founder of SM, Soo Man Lee, and their staff notes that curiosities are piqued, even within the company itself. “I think people are interested in this new attempt because we are not newbies. Each of us are from groups that are already well-established,” says Baekhyun, the eldest. Kai agrees, “We feel obliged to live up to their expectations.” They don’t know it yet, but in a week they will have the no. 1 album in the United States.

Despite looming expectations, the guys seem more delighted by the new arrangement than worried. “I’ve been in SHINee for 10 years, so starting a new team almost felt like getting a different job,” says Taemin. “I was excited; it felt so fresh, like a new start. To be honest, I thought the project was going to get cancelled when I first heard about it, so SuperM has a special place in my heart.” Baekhyun finishes, “Each of us saw it as an opportunity, a new challenge, and that helped…” Taeyong chimes in, “It united us.” “That’s right,” nods Baekhyun, “Now, we feel like we’re a family.”

That bond was formed quickly, over a handful of summer months in 2019. Though they all trained and worked under SM, most members had only ever seen each other in passing, like students in different grades at a large school. Despite this, the synergy between them is almost telepathic. After Baekhyun fails to break the cap on his water bottle, he silently pushes it towards Taeyong, who opens it for him with a twist of his wrist and without a single word. Members often finish each others’ sentences and exchange knowing looks across the table. Whenever Taemin isn’t sure about the meaning of a word in English, he leans over to consult Ten. At one point, Taeyong looks at Mark with pride and reaches out instinctively to stroke the youngest’s ear. This must be fairly normal, because Mark barely reacts.

When they return to Korea after this trip, each member will rejoin their respective group or solo promotions until they come together again as SuperM in November to tour the U.S. and Canada. Kai discloses that Lucas is already exhibiting separation anxiety. “This morning Lucas said to me, ‘Hyung, I wanna move in with you! Can’t we move in together?’” Kai says, using the Korean word for “big brother.” Lucas lets out a wild, guttural giggle as Kai snitches again, “Even Baekhyun said in the car that he would miss us after we all got back from the States!”

For these short two weeks in Los Angeles, they’re living together and having what sounds like the time of their lives. They’ve all taken roles around the house. Baekhyun is known for recalibrating the group dynamic, cracking jokes to lighten the mood. “I’m the reaction, I react to them,” Taemin says cheerily. “Mark and Ten are English teachers,” says Baekhyun, “Taeyong is the cook and dishwasher…” “and alarm!” chimes Taemin. “Taemin is in charge of dieting,” says Kai. Taeyong points to Baekhyun, “And he disrupts dieting,” he says, as they all crack up, “he’s the Diet Destroyer.” Baekhyun shrugs. “We’re the tall ones,” says Kai, pointing to Lucas and himself. “I’m in charge of getting things that are far away,” says Lucas, with a laugh that is almost musical. “He’s the biggest baby,” says Ten, smiling lovingly from the corner. “There are cups and plates placed high on the cupboard...” says Taemin. “And Lucas takes them out for us,” finishes Taeyong.

Like most families, they watch Netflix together. “We like zombies, especially Kai hyung. He likes The Walking Dead,” says Ten. “And Black Mirror,” suggests Mark. Taemin looks up at Ten with doe eyes and says “Stranger Things!” in a small voice, which Ten repeats at a volume everyone can hear. They go swimming in the house’s pool, play mafia and video games, and share meals, Taemin’s favorite. “I love that we eat breakfast together every morning. We wouldn’t do that if we weren’t close. We feel comfortable with each other’s company, it feels natural.” They’ve had everything from Korean meals and Chinese food to pancakes but, usually, they eat cereal. That is, until the diet destroyer gets involved. “We started off with Froot Loops,” says Mark, “and then we searched through the refrigerator and saw strawberry yogurt. Baekhyun was like ‘Alright, we’ve got to put the Froot Loops in the yogurt!’”

Between the seven of them, they speak five languages: English, Korean, Chinese, Thai, and Japanese, so “sometimes communicating gets very confusing,” says Lucas, switching into Korean for the last word, to underscore his point. Still, “we understand each other very well,” assures Mark, “and I feel like that's the true role of K-pop: bringing cultures together.” Ten nods in agreement. He can speak four languages and has remained alert throughout the interview, like a guard dog, leaning in to translate Korean or Chinese to English. “What’s cool is that we’re from different places, so when we talk we get to learn new vocabulary,” Ten notes, as Taemin looks on with cheeks full of water. “Sometimes I even teach them Thai,” he says, beaming proudly. “That’s the best part.” On cue, Taeyong presses his palms together, bows his head, and says the Thai word for “hello.”

SuperM has been focused on breaking into the United States, so many of the members have been learning English from Mark and Ten. Taemin, who is already fluent in Korean and Japanese, says “pronunciation” has been the hardest part. A few days earlier in an Instagram live stream, he playfully pleaded with fans of SHINee, called Shawols, to help him learn the language. When asked about that, Taemin smiles, shrugs his shoulders up to his ears, straightens his arms and splays his hands wide in discomfort, like a scared cat. With perfect pronunciation he says, “I hope to speak English well but...” and then makes a gesture that communicates, “I hope to get better.” Taeyong nods and says in English, “Step-by-step,” while Kai lets out a supportive, “Wow!”

In September, Baekhyun also took to Instagram to announce that he and Lucas were delighted and perplexed by the sound of one word in particular: awkward. The mention of this sets off a domino effect during our interview, as each member tries pronouncing “awkward” themselves. Then Baekhyun introduces a new word: turtle. He points to his mouth, which he has opened comically wide to get the sound just right, “Toooortle!” “The word turtle is so awkward!” summarizes Taeyong. Then they can’t be stopped—their favorite terms are flying back and forth across the table: Pronunciation! Positive energy! Level! Frog! Pioneers! Taeyong slowly sounds out “performances” and then claps for himself when he’s done. Over in the corner, Baekhyun leans back in his chair and crosses his arms matter-of-factly. “Turtle!” he says with confidence, one last time, as Mark bursts out laughing and Taeyong slaps him playfully on the knee.

The room is so warm with joy, so free from ego and pretense, that it’s easy to forget that these seven friends are some of the world’s most celebrated performers. Despite their differences—in age, language, culture, and experience—they function as a single solid, supportive unit, united by one goal.

For almost the entire interview, Mark and Taemin have been playing with two thick silver rings overlaid with heavy crosses. At one point, Taemin experienced a brief panic when Mark’s ring got stuck on his finger. “We got these as a gift from Mr. Soo Man Lee,” Mark says seriously, holding his up in front of his face. Each member’s ring bears a slightly different design, but they all “have ‘Super M’ inscribed on the back.” The accessory feels overtly symbolic: a physical reminder of the heavy expectations that unite them. “This is our Thanos Infinity Gauntlet,” Mark jokes, referencing SuperM’s branding as the “Avengers of K-pop.” As he laughs with Taemin, his face softens and he looks like the group’s little brother again. Then they both pick up their rings and place them back on their fingers, joining the rest of their team.

thank you, shinee.

words cannot express how emotional and heart-wrenching this concert must’ve been for you. even from an ocean away, i could feel the sentiment behind every single song, every dance, every VCR, every talk… nothing about this was easy, but all of you held your ground and got through it in a way that makes me even prouder (if that’s even possible) to be a shawol.

thank you onew, for being the bravest and incredibly strong leader to all of the members and fans. nothing in the world could have prepared you for this, but as the oldest and leader, you’ve handled it all with a leveled head and a warm heart. no one wanted your return to be like this, but we know that you’ll only do amazing things from here on out. thank you key, for being open and honest with not only yourself, but shawols too throughout all of this. you’ve shared so much with us when you never had to, but we appreciate everything that you’ve said and done thus far so much. not only has it helped us as your fans, but i hope that relieving yourself of those thoughts and emotions has helped you as well. thank you minho, for being the pillar to support the members, your family, and the fans. no one can even begin to describe how strong your love for your brothers is and it shows with every word you say and every action you do. you’ve taken such good care of not only yourself, but jonghyun’s loved ones and you have the biggest heart i’ve ever seen. thank you taemin, for remaining strong and dependable throughout everything. i know that emotions aren’t easily to express for you, but you’ve been so brave throughout all of this and have worked hard to keep jonghyun’s spirit alive. nothing about this was easy, but you’ve handled it amazingly thus far; keep going. thank you jonghyun, for watching over all of us and your fellow brothers not only now, but ever since you left us. you are missed everyday; there isn’t a day that goes by where i don’t think of you. as your fans though, we (and your brothers) will be sure that your memory is never forgotten.

you did well.

//some additional thoughts i’ve had about the situation with Shinee and some other things.

So early 2015, when the loss of Ladies Code’s EunB and RiSe was still fresh and was still a hot topic on everyone’s minds in addressing the issue of how unsafe the driving culture in south korea was, and how managers were so dangerously over scheduled that one could make such a huge oversight as speeding home in the rain to meet tomorrow’s schedules that it took the lives of two rookie k-pop idols.

and honestly, nearly four years later, I’m not entirely sure if that’s changed all that much, considering their manager wasn’t even given a very harsh sentence for what could probably, arguably be considered, murder.

but i digress.

people didn’t think twice about that until after it cost someone their life.

I do remember one horrible thing that happened shortly after Ladies Code’s accident that more relevantly applies to the current situation with Jonghyun.

and that was the suicide of Ahn Sojin.

if you don’t remember who she was, she was a contestant on a survival show that DSP Media produced to find the new member of KARA, after Nicole and Jiyoung left the group the year before. obviously not a great attempt, since after choosing a winner, they disbanded a half a year or so later.

anyway, Sojin’s dream was to be an idol. but because she was 23, she was the maximum age one can debut at, and that show was basically her last chance to make it into the industry.

her own family didn’t support her, and as she was the oldest contestant on the show, she was often criticized harshly for making small mistakes.

When the show ended, the two trainees who didn’t win, Somin and Sojin were left holding a metaphorical bag. Somin however was later chosen to be a part of DSP’s new girl group that they were putting together. (later named APRIL)

Sojin, however was not told about this and was not considered for the group, being too old to debut by that point.

DSP terminated her contract, and she reportedly spiraled into depression. and despite concerns of close friends, Sojin threw herself off the tenth floor of her apartment building.

there wasn’t very much coverage for her death, nor any conversations that took place about why she did it. her family didn’t do an autopsy. they just quietly laid her to rest and the world moved on.

I feel like, maybe that will be different this time.

Sojin was obviously not well known enough to have 24 hour media coverage, or a wake attended by other idols, since she never made it into the industry, but i don’t think there’s a single person in that whole country who hasn’t heard Jonghyun’s name, or hasn’t been made aware of the existence of Shinee in the last 24 hours.

because he was such a well known and famous celebrity, one can only hope that this will be something that continues to be talked about, and that south korea will finally address this issue and look closely at how they treat mental illnesses and mental health, especially where it concerns the entertainment industry, since he was apparently, not the only idol who’s struggled with it.

after Ladies Code’s accident, fans were worried because Ashley, Sojung and Zuny had survivors guilt and they had to have therapy for months before they were strong enough to return to the stage again. if they had chosen not to return at all, not a single person would’ve blamed them. I’m thankful that Polaris took the initiative to look after both the living and the deceased so well to prevent any further tragedy.

I think that all companies need to be that considerate of how they treat the people they employ. after all, they’re making them money, it’s the least they can do, right?

I will offer my sincerest condolences to Shawols once again, because the loss of someone you look up to is horrible and as a Lavely, it pains me that another fandom now has to go through this ugly journey. I still miss RiSe and think about her and EunB alot. keeping their pictures here helps me to cope with the fact that they’re not here anymore, despite the fact that the group marches on, and i hope that in time, you guys might be able to do the same with Jonghyun.

just as Ladies Code will always be 5, so will Shinee, and I hope you guys can hold that close to you in this difficult time.

#Ladies Code #Kwon RiSe #Go EunBi #Kim Jonghyun #Shinee
