Rumors/Trivia
Junsu and Taejun were prize winners in the Amateur Music Festival. (There was an interview with Junsu's mum about some popularity prize for SRD. Prolly the same thing)
Lee Hyuk Jae described Junsu as KangHyeHoon (Kangta of H.O.T, Shin Hye Sung of Shinwa and Kang Sung Hoon of Sechskies)
Some of their parents didn't know that SRD existed until a school performance. Parents gave permission when they knew that their children were working hard.
Officially disbanded when all of them tried for SM auditions.
Kim Junsu was inspired by H.O.T and Sechskies (which is random, cause they were competitors! So was he a diehard fan? Noooo! He was an awesome fan because he knew both groups were good hahaha, he wasn't deluded! LOL)
Kim Junsu wrote songs for SRD
After SRD disbanded, Hyuk Jae and Junsu joined SM Ent. Almost formed the RnB group daemeb (?! something like that) with Lee Sung Min of Super Junior (Sungmin was to be the leader).
Rumors that SRD used to practice in Junsu's mum work area (I think she worked in a place with those martial arts stuff and so they had this big space to do their practice)

[21세기아이들] 초등학생 댄스그룹 'S.R.D'
[21st Century Children] Elementary School Dance Group ‘S.R.D’

“그냥 무대에 서는 게 좋아요. 좋아하는 일을 계속 하려고 우리들끼리 노력도 하구요.”

개구장이로만 알았던 초등학생들이 지난 5월 자기들끼리 `댄스그룹'을 만들었다.

김준수,이혁재,최민석,황태준. 모두 경기도 고양시 능곡초등학교 6학년생이다.

우리나라 `최연소' 댄스그룹의 기록이 세워진 것이다.

Song,Rap,Dance의 앞 글자를 따서 만든 S.R.D 라는 이름의 이 그룹은 이미 고양시 일대에서는 소문이 짜하다. 실력이 `만만치 않은' 것이다.

주로 노래를 부르는 준수. 안무와 랩을 맡고 있는 혁재. `덤블링'을 잘 하는 민석. 브레이크 댄스가 특기인 태준. 유능한 음반기획자가 끌어모은 기성 댄스그룹이 부럽지 않다.

“지난 3월 태준이와 준수가 아마추어 가요제에서 입상했어요. H.O.T의 노래에 맞추어 춤을 추었는데 구경온 어른들이 너무 좋아하더라구요.”

가 수 흉내 낸다고 눈총만 받던 아이들은 용기백배했다. 혁재와 민석이 의기투합한 뒤, 이들은 쉬는 시간만 되면 운동장 한 켠으로 달려가 연습에 몰두했다. 가요 프로그램을 녹화해 `선배들'의 춤을 따라해 보기도 하고 `감쪽같은' 립싱크를 위해 노래녹음도 했다.

“첨에는 부모님들이 아실까봐 몰래 몰래 연습했어요. 결국에는 `공부도 열심히 하겠다'는 약속을 하고는 부모님의 허락을 받았죠.”

고등학교에 입학할 즈음 이들은 정식으로 가요계에 데뷔할 생각이다.

전통민요와 서양음악을 접목시킨 댄스음악을 만드는 게 이들의 꿈이다.

“못 마땅하게 여기는 선생님들도 있어요. 하지만 적성에 정말 맞는 일을 이제 찾았거든요. 어른들 때문에 그만둘 순 없어요.”

이 들은 아직 어리다. 그래서 외국어로 된 그룹 이름이나 댄스음악이 넘쳐나는 한국대중음악의 현실에 대해 아직 깊게 고민하지 못한다. 그러나 자신들의 `밝은 무대'를 힘들여 찾아낸 아이들은 나름의 답을 위한 용기와 노력을 아끼지 않는다.

“친구들 중에도 우리가 댄스그룹을 만들었다는 걸 믿지 못하는 애들이 있어요. 아직 어리다는 거죠.”

요즘 네 꼬마들은 H.O.T.의 `우리가 미래(We are the future)'라는 노래를 연습하고 있다. 훗날 당당히 무대를 누비고 다닐 자신들의 미래를 꿈꾸며…. 안수찬 기자

hahaha - since they seem to have an obsession with H.O.T xD)

Lee Teuk: Tell us the singers you like...
Shindong: I like xxx.
LeeTeuk: What about Dong Hae?
I heard the singer is very handsome! (lol-ing) Don't worry tell everyone!
Donghae: ... it's Eunhyuk... SRD...
and the first friends donghae made in S.M!

QUOTE
When Dong Hae first entered into SM as a trainee, the 2 person he knew were Xiah Jun Su from DBSK and Lee Hyuk Jae (Eun Hyuk) from SUJU. The 3 of them are of the same age and were really closed to each other.

A solo singer was inspired by SRD!

4. Hanyi* tells stories of Eunhyuk’s S.R.D days
Eunhyuk: Hanyi is KTR’s guest today, I have a very deep fate with her.
Leeteuk: Both of you have met before? (Hinting: You’ve dated before?)
Eunhyuk: Um… I’ve seen her before. (Implying: We just know each other)
Leetuek: Then later, let’s hear their love story.
Eunhyuk: In the past, I already felt Hanyi could sing very well. Her real name is Jang Hanyi, and during my elementary school S.R.D activities, she was my schoolmate, but younger than me by a year. At that time, she was a singing ace.
Leeteuk: Did you mix with each other?
Eunhyuk: We’ve never mixed with each other before, after she saw S.R.D, she made up her mind to be a singer.
Hanyi: I can prove their popularity.
Eunhyuk: Hurry, tell us about S.R.D
Hanyi: At that time I was in grade 6, S.R.D had graduated to Junior High. Whenever our school had commemorative events, they would invite S.R.D back to perform, and when they came the girls would go crazy. They’re really, really very popular,
they’re the big stars of the Goyang City Valley.
Leeteuk: At the start of the program, how much bribes did you accept from Eunhyuk?
Eunhyuk: Tsk~ At that time, we held dreams of becoming singers, and it’s very delightful that we’re so successful now.

* Hanyi is a solo female singer.
