Henry’s Road to Success
In 2006,Henry was chosen at the 2006 SM Entertainment Global Audition in Toronto, Ontario and got signed by SM as their artist. After long trainings and the hard work he put in, he finally got the chance to perform in front of everyone. 21 September 2007, Henry was featured in Super Junior’s 2nd album,playing the violin for the title song “Don’t Don”. Later,in 8 April 2008, he debuted as a member of Super Junior M,the 3rd sub unit of Super Junior, together with Hangeng,Siwon,Donghae,Ryeowook,Kyuhyun and Zhou Mi.
Only13 Controversy
The infamous issue started when rumours of Henry as the 14th SJ member surfaced after being featured in Super Junior’s 2nd Album titled Don’t Don. Things got worse when Henry kept appearing in most of Super Junior’s live performances. The Only13 campaign was started by Super Junior’s fanclub called ELF. ELF began buying SM stocks, giving Henry the silent treatment during Super Junior Concerts and as far as sending cyber attacks directed to Henry on SM’s official website and Super Junior’s official website. The attacks became out of hand when news of Super Junior’s subgroup “Super Junior China” surfaced. Even after Henry’s debut, ELF continuously protest by attacking Super Junior M’s official website that was established by Sohu.com.
But soon, the campaign slowly fades in other countries, slowly expressing their acceptance of Henry into Super Junior M. However, in some countries, ELF still display their protest by chanting “Protect Only13” during Henry’s violin part in Don’t Don.
