We Present You The "One Fan One Stock Campaign"

Hello Super Junior Fans all over the world,

First of all, we want to clear my opinion that we want Super Junior to become a super star not only in Korea but in Asia, and eventually in the world. We are not against Super Junior going abroad. We are against the SM Entertainment's plot to have more members (and eventually take out those who don't fit in Super Junior anymore) to Super Junior because only the current 13 members are Super Junior we support. We cannot accept some random new person to join, because whoever it might be, he doesn't even have a clue what Super Junior has been through all the good and bad times.

So this is what's going on. The SM Entertainment wants Henry in Super Junior as the 14th member. Not only that, the SM Entertainment is planning to put more members in Super Junior. Every Super Junior member is bonded with a contract with the SM so they cannot fully and honestly express their opinion because of the contract. It is very sad that they cannot say much about their own issue. That's why we fans have to fight against the SM for Super Junior.

Since last fall to this January, the Super Junior Fan Alliance had six legal demonstrations in front of the SM Entertainment against letting the 14th member in. However, not only they did not listen to us, they did not even care what we had to day. The six demonstrations with thousands of fans attended did not affect anything. It was sad to know that all of our efforts were affectless to the greedy SM. Moreover, we felt powerless. But recently, we have come up with a new idea and it is very important that it becomes successful not only in Korea but also in other countries. It's the time for the Super Junior fans to unite. Today, we present “The One Fan One Stock Campaign” to you.

The purposes of the “One Fan One Stock Campaign” are:


1. We, the Super Junior Fans are restoring our right (the SM has ignored us multiple times) by showing the SM Entertainment that we are not just fans and consumers, but also shareholders who have some shares of the company. We are legally and rightfully making a suggestion to the SM as shareholders.

2. We, the Super Junior Fans are directly investing on Super Junior by investing on the SM Entertainment. It means that we are more than just consuming the contents of Super Junior, but directly investing our money (amount does not matter) on Super Junior because we have seen and believed the value in them and their future that is worth buying stocks.


In other words, the One Fan One Stock Campaign is an opportunity for us to regain our rights as fans and directly invest on Super Junior. Since Super Junior belongs to the SM Entertainment, investing on Super Junior also means that we are investing on the SM Entertainment. However, this campaign is more than just investing on the SM. It is a method to raise our position from just buying the SM Entertainment’s contents to directly investing on Super Junior.

The time has come for fans in all ages and nationalities to unite under the name E.L.F (Ever Lasting Friends). Like a simple truth of every drop of water fills the ocean and every bit of star fills the sky, I wish this campaign to be an opportunity for us to restore our rights as fans, consumers, and shareholders and directly invest on Super Junior’s promising future with my own money.

But please keep this in mind that although the shareholders are the owners of the company, the degree of influence of an individual shareholder or a group of shareholders is proportioned with the number of stocks an individual or a group has. Therefore, we cannot tell the company what to do with their business management. However, we can request them to insist “the management that prioritizes the shareholders.” The actual degree of influence might not be great, but one cannot ignore the reality that the fans are directly involving with the company’s business management. The difference of impact is even bigger; crowd of fans doing public demonstration outside of the SM building and a number of shareholders going into the SM fortress. I cannot say this enough; it is so significantly important and crucial to have one more shareholder and one more stock with us.

As of March 14, 2008 the Super Junior Fan Union, ONLY13 has
385 shares, which worth about 937,732 WON
Thank you so much for all who have participated this campaign.
This is only beginning and we'll continue purchasing stocks. If you donate some money to us, we will buy the stocks with your money. We will also provide receipts to you in 24hours. Please donate AT LEAST 3,000 WON ($3.00 USD) because the SM Entertainment's stock is about rated from 2,400 won when it’s low to 2,800 won when it’s high. We will combine the changes and buy more stocks.
If you are willing to make a donation, please submit money to…

Have you seen video clip of the 1st concert when the members said that they felt secure to see the eyes of the fans telling them that they will protect Super Junior? Also, have you seen the video clip of them getting teary and some of them cry hearing the fans singing “Marry U” to them? They are the only members of Super Junior we support with all our hearts. No more, no less.

In April, Super Junior will leave Korea to perform the Asia Tour Concert.
This might be our last chance given to us to go against the SM Entertainment.
There is not much time left for us.
The 13 members of Super Junior, this is the time to protect them.

WOULD YOU PLEASE JOIN US?

Sincerely,
Super Junior Fan Alliance (http://sjonly13.com/)
