          Kim Jongwoon, or Yesung, is one of the three main singers of Super Junior. Yesung means "art-like voice." From a young age, Yesung was special when it came to singing. His mom noticed his extraordinary talent and helped him sign up for SM Entertainment's auditions where he immediately impressed judges with his voice.

          He was eventually chose to be a member of Super Junior. While the people of SM Entertainment were impressed by Yesung, people didn't start recognizing him until a long time after debut because he hardly had any screen time. With 12 members (at the time) all singing and talking, it was hard to find a time to be caught on camera. But, once the group became more popular, he started getting recognition.

          In 2013, Yesung enlisted in the military. He should return in 2015, and fans are eagerly awaiting his comeback.
