Just amazed at how Super Junior is navigating their presence in KPop and overall entertainment. Look at their activities very closely. These guys are really smart.... Really, really smart. I wonder if they deliberately talk and strategize it as a group. Incredible.
Q: What does your ideal life look like?
๐ฆ: Exactly like now.
๐ค: Same for me.
๐ฆ: Being loved. Speaking thoughtfully and sincerely. Jokes aside, during Super Juniorโs 20th anniversary tour last year, we received so much love from our fans again after such a long time. I felt incredibly grateful. Because of that, I get to wear beautiful clothes, do amazing photoshoots, release albums with a great friendโฆ Honestly, without our fans, I couldnโt imagine any of this. Thatโs why we released the 20th anniversary album and the 83z album. I still want to stand on stage and meet fans as much as possible. I want to do more fan sign events too. The life I share with fansโฆ
๐ค: Thatโs right. My current life simply makes me happy. In the past, I worked hard trying to find happiness, but it turns out happiness was right beside us all along. Waking up in the morning, eating delicious food, receiving love from fans, and being able to stand on stageโฆ thatโs true happiness.
๐ฆ: Ah, exactly. Being able to stand on stage is the greatest happiness. We need to stay healthy. If weโre exhausted, we wonโt be able to do it.
๐ค: Right, we wonโt.

Q: What do you think youโll be doing 30 years from now on a day like this?
๐ฆ: Iโll be 74 years old! In 30 years, Iโll be 74! Seventy-four! Seventy-four!
๐ค: Since nobody can predict life, we might not even be here anymore.
๐ฆ: Right. Thatโs why our ELFs need to stay healthy too, so theyโll still be around in 30 years.
๐ค: What do you think youโll be doing then?
๐ฆ: If I had one wishโฆ even if we canโt dance anymore, Iโd still like to meet fans on stage. That feeling of happiness is just too strong.
๐ค: Specifically, 30 years from now, Iโd like to do a photoshoot with Heechul again using this exact same concept. Even if they told us to recreate a trend from 30 years ago.
๐ฆ: Oh, for that shoot, make him wear these exact clothes again after 30 years. That would be so cool. We should wear the same watches too. Everyone has to stay alive. Weโll save this photo and recreate it exactly.
๐ฆ: One thing Iโm sure about in 30 yearsโฆ I think Leeteuk still wonโt be married.
๐ค: Why? You wonโt be married either. I donโt think youโll be able to get married.
๐ฆ: Iโll get married.
๐ค: No, you wonโt. You wonโt.
๐ฆ: Iโve almost given up.
