Q: When did you feel, “I’m glad he’s by my side”?
🐤: While preparing this album. In the past, many Super Junior members participated in the recordings, especially K.R.Y members who sang a lot. But this time, it was just the two of us working on it. During recording, I suddenly thought, “I’m really glad Heechul is here.” If I had been alone, I don’t think I could have done it.
🦚: My voice has always been naturally rough. But now I can’t really use those high, gritty notes anymore. The vocals need to sound clean and beautiful, and I’m not very good at that. Leeteuk can hit the high notes clearly and effortlessly, so I left all the high parts to him.
🐤: You kept encouraging me, saying, “You can do it.”
🦚: Yes, I did.

Q: What are the three most important things in your life?
🦚: As I’ve gotten older, I completely understand this now.
🐤: First: health.
🦚: Health. And of course, the money that supports that health.
🐤: Money. Same for me.
🦚: Health, money, and friends. Honestly, if I had to choose between love and friendship, I’d choose friendship. As I’ve gotten older, even romance feels exhausting. Maybe that’s an old person’s way of thinking. When we were young, we’d get excited sending texts to someone we liked. But at a certain age, you just want peace and comfort. Meeting a friend for a drink or a chat becomes the greatest happiness. So for me: health, money, and friends.
🐤: Heechul and I share two things.
🦚: Which ones?
🐤: Health and money. But the last thing that feels most important to me lately… is our fans.
🦚: Wait, stop. I want to change my answer.
🐤: Even after 21 years of activities, so many ELFs in China continue to give us love and support. Every performance and every activity makes us feel grateful. If you continue loving us in the future, then my three most important things are: health, money, and ELF.
🦚: I feel the same way.
🐤: You’re too late.
🦚: Health, money, and ELF. If ELF didn’t exist, I wouldn’t…
🐤: Weren’t you talking about friends?
🦚: What friends? It’s okay even if there are no friends.
Q: If you could go on a trip together right now, where would you want to go?
🦚: One, two, three… Shanghai! Oh? What’s this? Why didn’t you pick it?
🐤: I mean… I just want to visit China in general.
🦚: Ah.
🐤: Not just Shanghai. Sorry, but since I enjoy golf, a lot of my friends and acquaintances have gone to places like Hainan Island in China and played golf there. They often tell me, “Leeteuk, let’s go together next time,” and try to set a date.
🦚: Right, right.
🐤: Would you go to Shanghai?
🦚: Well, every place is fun, but I especially like Shanghai…
🐤: Why? Is there a reason?
🦚: Nothing special. I’ve been to many places, but I once wrote something called Shanghai Romance, so I’d like to go there and see it for myself. Also, Shanghai’s night streets are really beautiful.
🐤: Beautiful, beautiful.
🦚: Yeah, the night scenery is amazing. But honestly, all of China is fun, not just Shanghai.
⸻
Q: What role does each of you take when traveling?
🦚: As for me… I absolutely do not go out until after sunset. Even when we went to Qingdao, I didn’t leave until the sun was almost completely down.
🐤: Why do you only go out at night?
🦚: Ah, I really hate sunlight.
🐤: Ah…
🦚: That’s why I think Shanghai’s night streets are so beautiful.
🐤: When I travel, my MBTI is completely J-type.
🦚: Oh, I’ve never taken the MBTI test.
🐤: Before traveling, I make a perfect plan. Then on the day itself, I follow the schedule exactly. Doing things randomly or spontaneously makes me anxious.
🦚: Do you know what my style is? People in China know those Chinese vampire movies, right? When I was young, I loved them. I’m exactly like that. When the sun rises, I stay completely still like this (pretends to sleep). Then when the sun sets…
🐤: The sun goes down.
🦚: Exactly! At that moment, I open my eyes and wake up. That’s when I start wandering around.
Q: What does your ideal life look like?
🦚: Exactly like now.
🐤: Same for me.
🦚: Being loved. Speaking thoughtfully and sincerely. Jokes aside, during Super Junior’s 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 friend… Honestly, without our fans, I couldn’t imagine any of this. That’s 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 fans…
🐤: That’s 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 stage… that’s true happiness.
🦚: Ah, exactly. Being able to stand on stage is the greatest happiness. We need to stay healthy. If we’re exhausted, we won’t be able to do it.
🐤: Right, we won’t.
⸻
Q: What do you think you’ll be doing 30 years from now on a day like this?
🦚: I’ll be 74 years old! In 30 years, I’ll be 74! Seventy-four! Seventy-four!
🐤: Since nobody can predict life, we might not even be here anymore.
🦚: Right. That’s why our ELFs need to stay healthy too, so they’ll still be around in 30 years.
🐤: What do you think you’ll be doing then?
🦚: If I had one wish… even if we can’t dance anymore, I’d still like to meet fans on stage. That feeling of happiness is just too strong.
🐤: Specifically, 30 years from now, I’d 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.
🦚: 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. We’ll save this photo and recreate it exactly.
🦚: One thing I’m sure about in 30 years… I think Leeteuk still won’t be married.
🐤: Why? You won’t be married either. I don’t think you’ll be able to get married.
🦚: I’ll get married.
🐤: No, you won’t. You won’t.
🦚: I’ve almost given up.
Ottogi sent Yesung cups of ramen packaged in a giant cup of ramen? wow 👏🏻

🐤:It feels like your peak form from 2005 is coming back. You feel it too, right?
🦚: Ah, don’t say things like that… it’s a bit embarrassing to hear now.
Honestly, when did I start becoming afraid of the stage? It was around our debut, when I was in the hospital and was told, “This leg might never be usable again.”
After that, during Black Suit, I only appeared at the end of the MV, right?
🐤:Yes, that’s right.
🦚: Back in Sorry, Sorry, even though I only appeared for 4 seconds, I was like, “Wow! I’m Kim Heechul—so what?” (very confident).
But during Black Suit, because I knew my physical condition wasn’t good, my mentality collapsed.
I felt embarrassed standing on stage and became very withdrawn…
So at that time, I kept telling Jungsoo, “Jungsoo, I think it would be better if I leave Super Junior. Because of me, even the choreography has to be changed.”
But he always told me this:
“Heechul, just participate for now… never give up the name Super Junior.”
At that time, I had the mindset of, “If I can’t do it properly, I’d rather not do it at all.”
I kept telling Jungsoo that I would quit, and I even asked the company to release a statement saying, “Kim Heechul leaves Super Junior.”
But after all that struggle, and after such a long time, coming back and participating again… I truly felt happy.
🐤: That’s right, really.
🦚: Even though my body is tired, I’m really happy.
Even though I’m now 44 years old (Korean age), I’ve started dreaming again of standing on stage.
🐤: Ah, thank you. Right now, there are over 2,600 fans watching, and the reactions are very enthusiastic!
🦚: What are they saying? They’re not telling me to just rest, right?
🐤: Haha! No, not at all. Everyone says they’re very touched and think you’re amazing.
🦚: While preparing for this 20th anniversary, I felt truly grateful to everyone.
If I compare everything to a game console from the fans’ perspective, I feel like I only have one last coin left.
With this last coin, I don’t want to say “I’m sorry” to the fans anymore.
Like before, I want to confidently say:
“Hey! Please love me again.
One of the ELF who fell posted an update on Threads, Ryeowook was waiting for them at the hospital when they were getting examined.🥺
“I’ve decided to open a new account to talk about this. First of all, thank you everyone for your concern. I’ve had X-rays and a CT scan—everything is fine. It’s just that my left leg hurts a lot and I can’t move it for now. My head and neck are not injured. My hair was covered in cake (thank you for ‘protecting’ me (?)). I’ve just left the hospital and returned to my place.
I originally didn’t want to say more, but I really hope everyone understands what happened. Ryeowook had been waiting for me. Since only two people were allowed to accompany me during the examination, I didn’t expect that when I returned to the hospital lobby, I would see Ryeowook and several staff members waiting there. After we fell, Ryeowook and Siwon came down immediately, and we were taken to a nearby small hospital right away. Ryeowook and another member came to check on us. I thought they would leave after we were transferred to another hospital, but it turns out Ryeowook stayed the whole time. They are truly very warm-hearted people.
Please don’t take things out of context or believe false news. I won’t leave the fandom—the issue lies with the venue. The members are people worthy of my love.”
~the cake she mentioned could be the cake for Siwon’s birthday~
A video of Siwon realising what had happened, he was not facing that way when it happened. He was so shocked.
This stage of She's Gone in year 2026 made me happy seeing Ilhoon recovered well. Because during his comeback (Art Class), he was still very shy and nervous. Now, I can feel his confidence.
Ilhoon is really back 💓
20 years ago they performed "Way for love" with the project name "Super Junior 05" and now they are performing "Way for love" again with name "Super Junior" 🥹
you guys really work hard boys @SJofficial 💙
#superjunior#supershow10#supershow10_encore#suju
The reason why I immediately fell in love with Daydream the 1st time I heard it during SS4 was due to Yesung's adlibs... I am very happy to hear his voice again on this song in SS10.
Same case with Storm. 💙
