Super Junior M nominated for Taiwan Golden Melody Awards

Super Junior-M, the subgroup of 13-member boy band Super Junior, has been named a nominee at Taiwan’s Golden Melody Awards, according to the boys' agency SM Entertainment on Thursday.

SM explained that the band would compete against local Taiwanese groups such as DaXiMen, Power Station and Come on! BayBay! for the title of best vocal group at the "21st Golden Melody Awards" to be held on June 26.

Various top Chinese artists including Karen Mok and Power Station are set to take part in the event which is seen as the Asian version of the U.S. Grammys and China's biggest music awards ceremony.

Super Junior was the only foreign artist invited to last year's awards which they attended as presenters and performers.

Super Junior-M, consisting of seven members, namely Ryeowook, Donghae, Han Geng, Zhou Mi, Siwon, Kyuhyun and Henry, focus their activities in the Chinese market.

Their mini-album "Super Girl," released in Asia during the latter half of last year, had topped several music charts including in China, the Philippines and Thailand.
