When Super Junior first debuted as Super Junior 05, they were supposed to have a rotational members concept, just like what NCT has now. SHINee was originally meant to be part of this instead of debuting as a separate group. This never materialized. Instead, they added Kyuhyun and established themselves as a non-rotational group.

5. Taeyeon (Girls' Generation)

Taeyeon placed first in a singing competition with over 7,000 competitors, which was what got her into SM Entertainment. Her father originally didn't want her to become an idol, so Lee Soo Man (the CEO of SM Entertainment) traveled from Seoul to Jeonju to convince him to let Taeyeon train for a semester in the agency. Her father agreed and the rest is history.

6. Hwasa and Wheein (MAMAMOO)
