Super Junior is a leading Hallyu group on and off the web.
For this past year 2012, popular group Super Junior dominated the trending hashtags. From the total of seven Korean #1 trending topics for the year, one spot was taken by Olympic gold-medalist, Park Tae Hwan after his disqualification in the London Olympics which left many Koreans bewildered.
However, the remaining six were all related to Super Junior.
#기대릴게이특 (“We’ll wait, Lee Teuk”) was on the list when the group leader enlisted for his compulsory military service. Following behind on the list were topics like #슈퍼주니어2500일 (“Super Junior 2,500 Days”), #이동해생일축하해요 (“Lee Donghae, Happy Birthday”), #이특영원히사랑해요(“Lee Teuk, we love you forever”), #슈크라이6주년 (“Su-KRY 6 years”), #슈주은혁사랑합니다 (“SuJu Eunhyuk, we love you”), and #슈퍼주니어26000일 (“Super Junior 2,600 Days”).
This list doesn’t even include the English Super Junior-related hashtags that trended throughout the year.
Two of the most followed Korea tweeters on Twitter are also Super Junior members. Choi Siwon has 3 million followers and Donghae has a following of 2.6 million.
