Career

[edit]Pre-debut

Cho Kyuhyun won third place at the Chin Chin Singing Competition in 2003.

Prior to Kyuhyun's addition to Super Junior, it was intended for the original twelve members to be separating and "graduating", as the band was still presented as a project group at the time. The company then decided to drop the '05 suffix following the growing popularity of the group.
