Shin Dong-hee (Hangul: 신동희; Hanja: 申東熙; born September 28, 1985 in South Korea), better known as Shindong (Hangul: 신동; Hanja: 神童), is an MC, DJ, and a member of K-pop boy band Super Junior. In the past Shindong has been criticized for his large size, which is very unlike many slim Korean idols. Despite his larger appearance, Shindong is known to be one of the four lead dancers and the group's dance choreographer, creating dances for the bandmates whenever they make dance performances. Shindong is also the rapper of the group and co-writes rap lyrics with the rest of his bandmates. He is also Super Junior's main visual gag performer.
Shin Dong-hee made his first appearance in July 2002 when he was seen dancing on Goyangsi Youth Dance. He joined SM Entertainment soon after he won first place on the 9th SM Youth Best Selection Best Comedian in 2005. Months later, Shin debuted as a part of Super Junior on November 6, 2005, performing the group's first single, "TWINS (Knock Out)." Due to Shin's name sounding similar to Donghae, who is also a member of Super Junior, Shin decided to use the stage name Shindong, derived from his surname and the first word of his birth name. Shindong is translated to "Prodigy," proving himself to be of extroardinary talent to the audience despite his large size.
On April 19, 2007, Shindong, with fellow members Leeteuk, Eunhyuk, Kyuhyun, and two managers, were involved in a major car accident that had attracted media attention for months. Unlike Leeteuk and Kyuhyun, who were more seriously injured and were kept in the hospital for several months, Shindong and Eunhyuk suffered only minor injuries and were discharged from the hospital on April 23, 2007.
Super Junior-Trot, known as Super Junior-T is the second sub-unit from Super Junior formed in early 2007. Aside Leeteuk, Super Junior-T consists Heechul, Kang-In, Shindong, Sungmin and Eunhyuk. The group specializes in singing modernized versions of trot, an old style of Korean pop music. On February 25, 2007, Super Junior-T debuted on SBS's Popular Songs with their title song "Rokkugo!!!" (로꾸거!!!) ("Rokkugo" is "Gokkuro" written backwards. Gokkuro is Korean for "backwards"). Super Junior-T released their first single on February 23, 2007, ultimately selling over 44,902 units.
