According to South Korean media reports, the only Chinese member in popular group Super Junior - Han Geng today submitted a formal application to Seoul Central District Court, requesting for a termination in contract with SM management company. This has become the second bomb thrown at SM after DBSK members Kim Jaejoong, Kim Junsu and Micky Yoochun filed a case against SM in accordance with their contract.

When Sina contacted SM’s Chinese representative, she expressed that she was very surprised when she heard this news, and was also extremely worried: “We’ve been trying to contact him but can’t reach him. Whenever he takes a rest, he always turns off his cellphone. We also feel extremely worried.” She added: “Yesterday, Han Geng even attended the Wireless Music Awards with the rest of SJ-M, don’t know why there’s suddenly news coming out today about terminating his contract.” She said that they must wait for confirmation from Han Geng himself before making an official statement.

Next year from the 10th of January, Super Junior will begin their very own Asia Tour. And on the 23rd of January, they will also perform in Beijing. And Han Geng being the only Chinese member in Super Junior, is seen as the group’s popularity guarantee in China. In April 2008, Han Geng also became the leader of SJ’s third sub-unit SJ-M, which was designated for the Chinese market. It seems that SM has recognised Han Geng’s importance in the Chinese market, and has hence being taking advantage of him.

Online surveys conducted in the last few hours showed that 80% of netizens feel that this is yet another attempt of SM in taking advantage of Han Geng’s influence in the Chinese market by creating fake news so to promote their Asia Tour early next year.
