A/N: Hi everyone! Glad you're reading my story!! I really hope you enjoy reading it :)

On the other hand, I understand alot of readers passing by most likely do not know what Super Junior is or what some of the words like "unni" mean. Hence, this introductory guide. If you ever get confused, refer back to here, and you'll understand Secret Mirror a little better. I know it seems a little long, but if you want to get the most out of reading Secret Mirror, you better read this guide! Enjoy! :)

Super Junior is the top boy band in South Korea (not North Korea... don't get them confused. South Korea's government is a lot like ours.) They are employed under SM Entertainment (will be commonly referred to as SM). SuJu or SJ for short, it has 13 members, plus 2 members, Henry and Zhoumi, in their subgroup Super Junior - M(andarin) for the Chinese market. Sound confusing? Read on, it'll get easier.

CURRENT MEMBERS:

Leeteuk: He's the leader of SuJu, real name being Park Jungsu/Jungsoo. Though he is lenient and typically on the rear end of jokes, he cares very much for his younger groupmates. He is known for his dimples and though he says he's a good driver, he's actually the worst in SuJu. He is paired with Sorah.

Heechul: Pranker, a cat-lover, among other things. Kim Heechul seems to enjoy pissing off his groupmates, but they all enjoy him anyway, knowing he'll have their backs when they need him. He has a hard time expressing himself, though. He's known for pulling off a good feminine image (has even cross-dressed as Lady GaGa before) but also for being a sexy guy... Paired with Hoshi.

Yesung: The "normal" one. That's not saying much, though. He's always ready to jump into new things and beat everyone else, though he usually does the worst... His real name is Kim Jongwoon, but his stage name Yesung means "art-like voice". He is one of the top vocalists in Super Junior. Paired with main character Rinhan.

Kangin: Real name Kim Youngwoon. The strong, tough one. He's ready to ridicule his groupmates at every turn, but somehow never loses their faith in him. Maybe it's because they know he'll always defend them. He likes to be humorous, actually. He works in the army from mid-2009 to mid-2012. So far in the story, he is still on hiatus. Paired with Hyori.

Shindong: Real name Shin Donghee. He is known to be very comedic, and always sets a good vibe. Despite his advanced dancing and rapping skills, he is less popular than the others due to his weight. Paired with Solhee.

Sungmin: The cute one. His favorite color is pink. He has that cuteness "charm", and he knows how to use it. His skills are very well ranged. He is the only current member trained in martial arts. He also plays guitar. He says he wants to learn how to play as many instruments as he can. Paired with Hanbi.

Eunhyuk: His real name is Lee Hyukjae. He's known as the "dance king" of Super Junior, able to display a variety of dance moves. He's known for strange things: having a radioactive-like smell, watching porn (once deemed as "porn mania"), even being nicknamed Anchovy and Jewel Monkey. When he smiles, you can see his gums. He's very fun-loving. Paired with Liyung.

Donghae: His name means "East Sea", and for this reason, he is often called Fishy. He is known as "Kid Donghae" because of his child-like playfulness. He is good friends with groupmate Eunhyuk. His father once told him to become a singer, so Donghae worked very hard to debut under SM. Sadly, his father died right before Donghae's first big concert. Before his father passed away, he entrusted Donghae to leader Leeteuk. Paired with Nara.

Siwon: The gentleman. He's very well mannered, coming from a strict Christian family (he auditioned for SM against his father's wishes). He is very well known for his religious beliefs (members say they will see him reading the Bible sometimes), and has been nicknamed S(h)isus, Soldier of Light, and others. you can tell his emotions through his S(h)ibrows (eyebrows). He uses gestures alot, being called Gesture Man Siwon. He is also very athletic, known for his nice body (nicknamed Horse Siwon for his "horse-like" muscles). Paired with Junah.

Ryeowook: The nice one. He's the only one who can cook without exploding something... XD Sometimes called "innocent" Ryeowook, he's soft-spoken and compassionate. He has the highest pitched voice in SuJu, but it's also one of the best voices. Also known as Chewbacca, Eternal Maknae, and Wookie. Paired with Boyun.

Kyuhyun: Despite being the youngest, he isn't bullied. Actually, he takes advantage of his youngest priviliges by pranking and being rude to his groupmates... though they eventually brush it off. He joined SuJu one year later than the others, but quickly received popularity. Is one of the stronger singers in the group. He has many nicknames: GameKyu (he plays the computer game Starcraft), LordKyu, BookKyu, SexyKyu, BabyKyu, ShyKyu, DarkKyu, etc. (it's rumored that he has more than 900 nicknames) Paired with other main character Misun.

SUPER JUNIOR-M MEMBERS:

Zhoumi: All-Chinese. He is a vocalist. He has the longest legs in the SuJu Family, and sometimes calls himself Gentleman MiMi, based off of Lady GaGa. He is the kind of person who likes making friends, going shopping... very feminine... Paired with Gaji.

Henry: Born and raised in Canada, Henry is fluent in both English and Chinese. He first made his appearance in Super Junior's Don't Don music video, playing violin. He also plays piano. Called Mochi Henry because of his soft cheeks (Mochi is a kind of Japanese mini bean-paste bun. Very squishy, sugary, and soft). Paired with Yuna.

PREVIOUS MEMBERS:

Hangeng/Hankyung: The Chinese member, trained in martial arts. He is very selfless; while he was employed, he sent all his money to his mother, who opened a ramen shop. He filed a lawsuit against SM, saying their 13-year contract and slave-like treatment of members was unjust. He is now a solo artist in his home country, China.

Kibum: The member with the best English and very good rapping skills. In 2009, he was absent from SuJu's album release of Sorry Sorry. It was later revealed that he was to persue acting instead, though he has never formally announced his leave of Super Junior.
