Super Junior Is On Probation

Super Junior is going through a rough patch. In addition to dealing with poster-tearing shenanigans and injured Elves at the recent Dream Concert, Super Junior-M members Zhou Mi and Henry are on probation right now. Apparently, they aren’t performing up to par, and if they don’t shape up soon, Father SM will have no choice but to mercilessly kick them to the curb.

It’s a pity, but then again, neither Zhou Mi, Henry, nor any of the other Super Junior members were ever really that talented to begin with. The new replacement is rumored to be a talentless, pigeon-looking guy named Soul. With a name like “Soul”, he certainly has a pigeon brain to match.Super Junior will recommence their Super Show Asian Tour in Bangkok, Thailand on July 12th.
