He is known for his dancing skills (skillful in Chinese traditional dances from 56 minority nations, for example[1][2]) and his occasionally poor Korean, which has been the source for much humour on various Korean variety shows.
Pre-fame:
He was discovered in 2001 at the H.O.T. CHINA Audition Casting 2001, where the competition rate was 3000 to 1.[3] However, it was not until late 2003 or early 2004 when he arrived in Korea to receive private lessons in singing, dancing, and acting.

Debut:
On February 6, Hankyung officially debuted as a member of Super Junior.

Three months later after the announcement, Han made his first media appearance as a model, in a Fashion Show F/W general idea by Bum Suk.
Typical of the expectations of a Korean idol, he maintains a slim frame, standing approximately 6 feet and weighing about 66kg (145lbs).
Many allegations surfaced claiming that Hankyung is of Chinese nationality but of Korean ethnicity. However, he is full-blooded Chinese. He currently attends Central University for Nationalities.
During the first few month of Super Junior's debut Hankyung was forced to wear a mask when performing on certain television station due to problems in his work visa, which allows him to appear on only a few Korean broadcasting networks (SBS, KBS, and KMTV).
He was featured in fellow SM Entertainment artist, Zhang Li Yin's music video Timeless.

Cho Kyu-hyun's singing talents were discovered after he won third place at the Chin Chin Singing Competition in 2005. He soon signed under SM Entertainment and was featured in the video remake of TVXQ's single "Hi Ya Ya" along with other Chin Chin idols.
Before Kyuhyun's addition to Super Junior, the original twelve members in the group were said to be separating and "graduating" from the group as the band was still presented as a project group at the time, the concept being very similar with Japan's popular girl group, Morning Musume. Although Kyuhyun's addition to the group initially brought in disatisfaction 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 fixed group. Kyuhyun was quickly accepted and acknowledged by the fans as a part of Super Junior.
