‘Tis the season to not be an SMTOWN fan. After all, SM Entertainment is going haywire with all of the official goodies that it’s producing for all of its groups. Around two weeks ago, the company announced that SHINee would be releasing anofficial diary and now, SHINee’s sunbae group Super Junior will also be releasing an official diary.

The pictures released of the official diary only show a Kyuhyun spread (sweet!) as well as what two of the pages look like. Not much information has been released, but this is what we know:

* Size: 130 * 180 * 20 mm
* Pages: 264 pages

Definitely sucks to be an SMTOWN fan right now, eh?

A winter album of the SM Entertainment artists is released in 4 years.
Having released many representative season albums, SM Town is again releasing a winter album 2011 SM Town Winter-The Warmest Gift on December 13. It’s a winter album released after 4 years as the last one was released in 2007.

Under the album’s title of “The Warmest Gift,” Super Junior is going to be the Santa to deliver the gift.

TVXQ’s “Sleigh Ride” describes the joy of Christmas and the liveliness of riding a sleigh with perfect sounds from cheerful swing rhythms, an orchestra’s grand sound, and a big band’s powerful charm. “Last Christmas,” re-created by SHINee with their unique voices, is an electronic dance song that shows the dreamy and powerful synthpop’s dynamic charm.
