Cho Kyuhyun (born February 3, 1988), more commonly credited as Kyuhyun, is a South Korean singer, dancer, and the youngest member of Super Junior in which he joined in 2006. He is a graduate of Kyunghee University with a major in Post-Modern Music, receiving his bachelor's degree in 2013. In 2016, he completed his master's degree in Post-Modern Music at the same university with a Master's dissertation entitled, "A Study on the Current Status and Future Development of K-POP: K-POP Advancement Strategies to America and Europe based on the Success Stories of K-POP in Japan and China". Cho Kyuhyun's singing talents were discovered after he won third place at the Chin Chin Singing Competition in 2005. He soon signed under SM Entertainment.
Before Kyuhyun's addition to Super Junior, the original twelve members were said to be separating and "graduating" as the band was still presented as a project group at the time, the concept being very similar to Japan's popular girl group, Morning Musume. Although Kyuhyun's addition to the group initially brought in an unpleasant surprise and dissatisfaction within the group's fans who supported the original twelve members, his addition ended Super Junior's life as a project group and began its life as a permanent group. Kyuhyun was quickly accepted and acknowledged by the fans as the thirteenth member of Super Junior.
