Super Junior’s Yesung will become a CCM (Contemporary Christian music) singer, a rare thing among idol group members.
Yesung has attended a CCM project album called “July project” which will be realeased on October 5th. Yesung’s solo song in the album is called “세상에서 가장 귀한 이야기” (rough translation “The greatest story all over the world”) and there is a part in the song that Yesung will sing together with Yurisangja’s Lee Sejun. The song will be released online on September 15th.
Yesung said “I always want to try to do CCM. And since Lee Sehun hyung made a suggestion to me so I agreed to join without hesitation. I also said to SM that ‘I really want to do this’ and they allow me to do too. Of course I dont receive any money from this. And not just this time, in the future I also want to join in the album like this”
The earnings from the album will be donated for the International Organization of helping the poor children “Save the Children”, the money will be used in a project called “Good lunchbox campaign” to help the children who go to school without eating lunch.
After debut, Yesung couldnt go to the church peacefully. There was a time 3 years after his debut, he went to a church and fans had taken his pictures by their cellphone, he even had to say sorry to the other believers and couldnt do to the church after then. But when he came back to his hometown CheonAhn, he went to the church quite often. Yesung said people always think that he is happy because he is in SJ but in fact, there are many diffucult things happened to him, although he can receive the support from his family and other members but it’s not always like that. So at those times, he can be strong because he believe in God. He said thanks to his belief, he can go through the hard time and the time when he made mistakes.
Super Junior other members Shiwon, Eunhyuk, Kyuhyun also are Christian believers. Yesung said among them, Shiwon is the one who has the deepest faith, he said “Somehow Shiwon goes to the church every Sunday even when we were in Japan”.
