🐤: What I think about the most these days is that I started my career in my early twenties, and before I even realized it, I had reached my 22nd or 21st year in the industry, and I had entered my forties. My teeth and eyesight are still healthy, and I think the fact that I do not drink alcohol probably has something to do with that too. When I see articles about people I used to watch when I was young who have passed away, I think, “When I was young, I loved them and watched them on TV all the time. As I grew older, they grew older too.” Seeing that makes me think a lot about, “What will I be like when I reach that age?” In reality, when a person is born, they are moving toward a new life, but at the same time, they are also moving toward death. That is an unavoidable fate for every human being. But during the time we have here, living happily and passionately is a responsibility each of us has. I also try to live every day diligently and happily. On the other hand, when I was in my twenties, I thought that once I reached my thirties and forties, I would be very old, that I would become weaker and lose my strength. But now that I have actually reached this age, I feel healthier than I did back then. Is that just psychological? I do not know. What will my life be like when I reach my fifties, sixties, and seventies? I think about these things a lot these days. Sometimes I feel sad or frustrated, and I have so many thoughts about how I should live my future. What concerns me most is not simply thinking about specific things like, “What house will I live in?” “What car will I drive?” or “Will I continue working?” What matters more to me is, when I get older, will I still be healthy? Will I still look attractive? How will people see me? And when I look at myself in the mirror, will I be satisfied with myself and think, “This is good enough”? These are the worries, anxieties, and thoughts that occupy my mind a lot these days. So I think about these things. Kkongi has already turned nine before I even realized it. Everyone has the same kinds of worries, but for me in particular, my family consists only of my mother and my sister, and there is also Kkongi. As time passes, I find myself wondering what I will be like and how I will continue living my life on my own. Will I become a burden to someone? Or will I become very lonely? I am not young anymore, am I? Even if I got married before I turned fifty and had children, it feels very late now. Think about it, everyone. If I got married at fifty and had a child, when that child turned twenty, I would be seventy. When they turned thirty, I would be eighty. Just thinking about that makes me feel like my life is already so far behind. Do you ever feel that way too? I do not want you to just say, “Oh, it is okay, you look like you are in your twenties or thirties.” Instead, let us look at my real biological age, not as a celebrity, but as an ordinary person named Park Jung Soo. My Korean age is 44. In ten years, I will be in my fifties. Kkongi will be nineteen, and my mother will be over eighty. In a life like that, I wonder how I will be able to endure it and adapt. I really do have a lot of these worries. I am not saying things like, “Idols should not get married,” or “Oppa, do not get married.” I just want us to think about these things together, as one human being to another, as one person to another. Just as I worry and think about these things, is it not natural for you to have the same worries as you get older? These worries overwhelm me too because I always say that my real family is just my mother and my sister. The members are like family to me, close friends, and younger brothers, but in terms of blood relations, my mother and my sister are all I have. And Kkongi, whom I love more than anything in the world and who is like a daughter to me, even though she is a dog, means everything to me simply by being by my side. These relationships cannot last forever.

🐤: Since Korea is changing so rapidly, I don’t know what might happen. But I want to say that we are the only team among current idol groups that is 20 years old and still capable of doing a world tour. We completely sold out three concerts at the Taipei Dome, and we are the only group that set a record by selling out all tickets for our 20th anniversary concert. No matter what anyone says, records speak for themselves. And even if the path we walk together is rough and full of hardships, in the end, Super Junior will be the ones who remain standing — the Last Man Standing!

I LOSE IT EVERY TIME I SEE TEUKIE CRY 💔😭 ------------ 🦚: If you cry like that, people will think we’re disbanding today. They’ll also think our contracts have ended and that we’re all leaving the company. 🐤: Actually, during the concert, we didn’t look at each other on either the first or the second day. We knew that if we looked into each other’s eyes, we’d immediately start crying, so we avoided looking at one another. But today, we were told that we had to look at each other….

🐤: When I asked, "What is my name?", they told me, "Leeteuk." I cried immediately. "Leeteuk"? Not even "E.T."... what kind of name is "Leeteuk"? I really cried a lot. I said, "I won't debut, I can't promote and work under the name Leeteuk." At that time, the members teased me so much: "Isn't it E.T.? E.T." I think Yesung teased me the most, I still remember. He said, "Woah! Hyung, what are you going to do? What are you going to do?" while my tears were falling... I said, "Ah, I really can't do this, what is Leeteuk? What is E.T.?" However, since a dinner meeting was already scheduled, I decided to ask to change the name during that dinner. I sat next to Teacher Lee Soo-man. It was while we were eating grilled tripe (yangdaechang) or something like that... I don't remember the exact name of the restaurant, but I remember its location clearly. When we met and started eating, I wanted to take the chance and said, "Teacher, but... isn't Leeteuk..." At that time, I had a few names that I brought with me, as my mother had gone to naming centers and brought me several options. Among them was the name "Sehyun", "Sehyun-i", and there was a name starting with "Ye...", about three names in total. I asked him, "What do you think of names like these?" He said, "No, Leeteuk. Isn't the name Leeteuk so great?" So I asked him, "What meaning does the name Leeteuk carry for it to be this nice?" He replied, "Hey! Kangta was like that, Junjin was like that, and Hyesung was like that... Aren't their names so cool? Didn't they love their names when I named them? They liked them very much. And you will like it too, right? Don't you like it?" I told him, "Yes, but... don't you think the name Leeteuk or E.T. sounds a bit heavy or sharp to pronounce? Will it be suitable?" He said, "No, it's a great name. It means (the special kid in this world). Leeteuk... isn't it great? The special kid in this world. This name carries a very beautiful meaning. You are going to become a special person in this world. Your seniors (sunbaes) loved the names I chose for them, and you will like yours too, right?" So I answered, "Yes..." Then I went back to the dorm that day, and I think it was Yesung - according to my memory it was Yesung - who asked me, "Hyung, what happened?" I told him, "It's over... I couldn't change it." When the teacher asks you, "Isn't it pretty? Your seniors loved it so much, and you will like it too, right?"... who could say to his face, "I hate it so much, I can't do it"? He put me in a situation where I had no choice but to agree. As long as he said my seniors loved it and I would like it too, I had no choice but to say, "Ah... yes, it's really great." And because of that, even though it's a stage name, I have been working and promoting under this name for 21 consecutive years. But what I like about it is that I have my real name, and whenever I need to write my name somewhere I can use my real name, so I think that's a good thing.

🦚: They asked me how I managed to stop drinking. Do you want the emotional answer or the realistic one? As for how I stopped drinking… If I answer emotionally, it’s because of the promises I made to my fans, my livestreams with them, and because I care about my image. That’s why I’ve been gradually cutting back on alcohol. But realistically… well, to be honest, it comes down to money. You spend your money to come to my concerts. If I drink, ruin my voice, or can’t hit the high notes because of alcohol… then what about the money you paid? I’m being too realistic, aren’t I? But it’s true. When money is involved and people pay to see you, it means you have a responsibility to give them your best.

🐤: Honestly, this was an award I never expected to receive, so I didn’t prepare a speech. I’m also very grateful that an actor I personally admire presented this award to me. My members aren’t here today because they’re all around the world working hard on their individual activities, so I’ll greet you on behalf of all of us. We are Super Junior! Nice to meet you all. We debuted in 2005, and somehow 22 years have already passed. As a child, I dreamed of becoming a singer while watching the Seoul Music Awards. I received a Rookie Award here, a Daesang here, worked as an MC, and now I’m back again after 11 years. To all the younger artists, awards are important, but what matters even more is staying together for a long time. We always say, “Let’s meet on stage for a very long time.” If you keep going, you’ll create precious memories with your members, staff, and fans. I hope all artists and fans around the world stay healthy, happy, and safe, and that we can continue meeting each other for many years to come.

💬: Heechul said he wants to marry you Would you accept? 🐤: Heechul now? Sure, I wouldn’t mind. But the old Heechul? If I were a woman, I definitely couldn’t have put up with him. He was always playing games. If you asked him to come eat, go out, or do anything together, he’d always reply, “I’ll play first.” He was like that all the time.

👤: Do you two ever meet up alone in your private lives? 🦚: Outside of work? No, because our tastes are completely different. He likes golf and doesn’t drink alcohol at all, while I like drinking and don’t play golf. 👤: What was the other members’ reaction when you formed a subunit together? 🐤: Actually, Donghae was the first one to say something about it. Since we’d been promoting as a group for so long, it seemed like Heechul and I would never form a subunit together. So when we finally did, everyone said it felt really refreshing. 🦚: That’s right. We were like oil and water. Even from the fans’ perspective, they all knew we weren’t compatible at all, so they wondered, “What would happen if these two got together?” That’s what made it so fun. 👤: What about when you were living together in the dorm? 🐤: We shared the same room. My bed was on the left, and Heechul’s bed was on the right. My bed and all my belongings were white, while everything on Heechul’s side was red. 🦚: Even his computer was completely white. His blanket, everything. As for me, everything was red, even my pillow. 👤: I’m curious. Since your tastes were so different and everything was opposite, didn’t you constantly clash or argue? 🐤🦚: We fought all the time. We had really big fights! 🐤: Back then, because we were so different, and we were young and hot headed, we’d think, “Why is he like that? Why is he so different from me?” But after we reached our forties, we started accepting those differences. 🦚: Yeah. After one of our fights a long time ago, Leeteuk said to me, “Heechul, let’s not fight anymore. You’re the only friend I have.” That really broke my heart. At the time, I was going out and hanging out with lots of friends every day. When I heard that, I started trying to understand Leeteuk. But when did I truly open my heart to him? Our personalities are really different. I remember after we finished our Indonesia tour, we were eating with the staff. Leeteuk never drinks alcohol. Do you remember? I even posted it on Instagram when we shared a drink together. 🐤: That’s right! 🦚: For someone who doesn’t drink at all, having even one glass means they’ve given up and compromised on a lot of things. From that moment on, our relationship became much stronger.

Eunhyuk: (Reading comments) "Does Donghae-oppa's shirt light up?" Wait... Donghae: What? Is it a light-up shirt? Eunhyuk: I think it actually lights up! There has to be a button. Hold on... Donghae: (Searching his shirt) Is there a button? Oh! Is this it? Eunhyuk: Yeah, that looks like it. Try pressing it. Donghae: Oh! I found it! It’s right here in this little pocket. Eunhyuk: Awesome! I'm going to turn off the lights, let's see. Eunhyuk & Donghae: Woah!! Oh my god! I had no idea it did that! Eunhyuk: You should have made your entrance with the lights already on! This is amazing. Donghae: I'm so surprised! This was a gift from fans (E.L.F), I didn't even know it had this feature. Eunhyuk: Looking at it up close, it’s a bit much... he looks like a total attention seeker! But it looks really pretty on camera. Donghae & Eunhyuk: Merry Christmas, everyone!

🦚: These days I find Hyoyeon really funny. But honestly, Girls’ Generation have been good at everything for a long time. They can sing, dance, they’re beautiful, and they’ve always been great on variety shows too. Since our second generation appeared on TV a lot, the SNSD members were really talented at those kinds of shows. I’m especially very close with the Girls’ Generation members. We were trainees together, so I’ve known them for a long time. As for SHINee, EXO, and Red Velvet, I’m close with them too, but they show me a lot of respect and treat me as a senior, so it feels a little different. And after that… how could I become that close with them? They’re all much younger than me.

👤: Wasn’t there something you wanted to say? Jisung: Can I say something that’s a little unrelated? 👤: Yes, of course! We’ll somehow connect it to the topic. Jisung: Okay. What I’ve really been feeling lately is that the people I respect the most right now and want to look up to are actually my Super Junior hyungs. I mean… even today, and the things they said to us before, their words and comments were so warm and genuinely kind. That’s why I want to work hard and keep going for a very long time in the future, following their example.

👤: So, after finishing your music show promotions, how did it feel? 🦚: Oh, the generation gap is huge now. The age difference between us and the newer idols is basically like the gap between parents and their children, so it’s honestly very embarrassing. Even when they come over to greet us, we just awkwardly say, “Oh, hello! You’re the best, you’re the best!” and then run away. 👤: You’ve reached the age where you finally understand why your senior artists acted that way back then. 🦚: Exactly. There’s a girl group in our company called Hearts2Hearts, and one of the members, Ina, has a mother who’s the same age as us. 🐤: That’s right. Even if people called us fathers, it wouldn’t be strange anymore. 👤: There are a lot of moments like that these days, aren’t there? 🐤: Yeah, and the gap just keeps getting bigger. The parents of trainees nowadays were born in the ’90s. 👤: Oh my… that’s a big deal. 🐤: Coming here and talking about things like this… the aging of the entertainment industry really is a serious issue. 👤: And there’s no retirement or welfare system for it. 🐤: Exactly. I feel like Super Junior has raised the average age of idols quite a bit, so I’d like to sincerely apologize for that. 👤: It’s okay. You’re still doing great. 🦚: These days we get a lot of encouragement like, “Keep going! Stay strong!” 👤: It feels like everyone is cheering you on, saying, “Wow, they’re really working hard.” 🦚: Yeah, that’s exactly how they are. 👤: Do you still have fans who actively support you? 🐤: Oh, of course! 👤: Really? 🐤: They always say, “Don’t let our oppas get discouraged,” and they come to support us too. 👤: That’s truly precious. 🐤: It really is. Each one of those fans feels like a hundred people. We’re growing older together now. 🦚: Longtime fans are different. These days, fans use LED signs instead of handmade placards. So when we see people still holding handmade signs… 👤: They made them themselves! 🦚: That’s how you know they’re longtime fans, and they’re incredibly precious to Super Junior. 🐤: Actually, at our recent fansign, our fans are getting older too, so many of them aren’t familiar with buying tickets online. A lot of them told me, “Oppa, I couldn’t come because I didn’t know how to book the tickets.” 👤: So after being a veteran group for so long, you launched a brand new subunit and spent your first week promoting as rookies. How did that happen? 🐤: We had just finished our 20th anniversary concert tour, and for the encore concerts we wanted to do something different. We wanted to perform as subunits, but Heechul didn’t have one. He said, “Then I just won’t participate.” But I couldn’t let him sit out, so I told him, “Let’s do something together.” Then Shindong heard us and said, “Then you two should just form a unit together!” And that’s how our subunit was created. 👤: What was your relationship like? Were you always close? 🐤: No, we weren’t. 👤: Because you didn’t really understand each other back then? 🐤: As everyone knows from the “Great Incheon Incident” about ten years ago, we had a huge fight at Incheon Munhak Stadium. 👤: It was complete chaos! 🐤: It really was! But as we got older, we gradually started understanding each other better. 👤: Right, you probably don’t even have the energy to fight anymore. Did you enjoy working together as a duo? 🦚: I absolutely loved it! And Leeteuk gave me a lot of authority and freedom to lead. 👤: So who’s the leader of the unit? 🐤: Heechul. 🦒: Really?! 🦚: Yep, I’m the leader now. 🐤: Even for our appearance on The Seasons, Heechul personally arranged everything, contacted the program, and handled all the scheduling himself. 👤: Well, why wouldn’t he? He’s the best at those kinds of things. 🦚: That’s why I really wanted to appear on The Seasons. Since my older brother Si Kyung is the host here, I wanted to show him a brighter, more confident side of myself.

🐤: The concerts on Days 2 and 3 were truly so happy, weren’t they? Please hold on tightly to those happy feelings, and I hope you stay well and healthy until we meet again. I will also carry this positive energy and happiness with me as I return to my daily life. I will live each day diligently, do my best, and stay well, so I hope that each of you will also stay well and healthy wherever you are. As I always tell you, the number one priority in your life should not be me. It should be you. So the most important thing, your number one priority, should not be me, nor Super Junior, nor 83z. It should be you. So please take good care of yourselves, cherish your lives, and I hope you spend each day wherever you are in a happier and better way. When we live each day well, the day we meet again will come, and we will enjoy ourselves together at the concert venue once again. I hope you spend your days like that. What I mean is, just because we’re going on a concert tour doesn’t mean you have to follow us everywhere without exception. If your circumstances allow it, if you have the time, the means, and a passport, then it’s okay to come. But if you don’t have enough time or your financial situation doesn’t allow it, please don’t push yourself or put pressure on your life just to attend. I always say this because I want you to keep your balance. When you are comfortable and happy in your own life, and then you look at me, you’ll be able to look at me with even greater happiness. But if your life is exhausting, stressful, and completely drained, you won’t have the room or peace of mind to smile and look at my handsome face. So when your lives are filled with comfort and happiness, I will do my very best to be that small mark, that tiny point of happiness in your lives. Also, as I said at today’s concert, the two of us in 83z made a promise to hold a concert at Tokyo Dome in 50 years! Hahaha. Fifty years from now, we’ll be around our nineties, and yet we still promised each other Tokyo Dome. That means we’ll continue to live diligently and do our best no matter how old we become. That’s what I wanted to say.

🐤: You might not realize it, but it’s hot here, right? I asked them to open this door, so it seems like the air from the AC has been leaking out. I did that because the AC wasn’t enough… oh my! Actually, during our 20th anniversary activities, you really made me feel like a big star. During our world tour, tickets were almost completely sold out, to the point that we turned two shows into three, and three into four. For this concert as well, we performed three shows instead of two, and they sold out again. As you can see, preparing a 360° stage required a lot of difficult work. Honestly, I felt like I was going to spin 360° myself from how much work there was, but I’m really happy that we were able to show a new side of Super Junior while celebrating our 20th anniversary. If our previous Super Shows showcased our 20-year history, then this Encore concert is like a preview of the next 20 years of Super Junior. That’s why we introduced the vampire concept and new looks for the members—to show you that we won’t get tired, won’t age, and won’t change no matter how much time passes, and that we will always stay by your side. Some of you have loved us from the very beginning, and some joined along the way, but we will always stay right here, quietly doing our best. So whenever and wherever you need Super Junior, please come to us. Always remember that Super Junior is your comfort and your safe place. We will keep working hard until the very end.

🐤: I’ve wanted to say this for a while. I first became aware of it after reading fans’ letters. It’s strange. I don’t know if this person went from being a fan to an anti, or if they were never really a fan to begin with. Maybe that’s an odd way to put it. During my career, there are naturally fans I remember. People who support me, encourage me, and do kind things leave an impression on me. During live broadcasts, out of gratitude, I might say things like, “Oh, I heard you had a baby,” or “I heard this happened to you.” It’s a very normal way of communicating with fans. But after seeing that, it seems someone became jealous or developed some other kind of negative feeling. When I hear stories from these fans, I always think that if we all love Leeteuk together, shouldn’t we be able to enjoy that together and talk about positive things? Instead, it feels like, “Only I can love you, and I don’t want anyone else to.” Or even, “If I can’t have you, then neither can anyone else.” They engage in what is essentially cyberbullying, leaving hurtful comments and causing a lot of distress. It doesn’t seem to be directed at just one person either. They appear to target different fans who support and care about me, one after another. I’m not completely sure who it is, but I do have some guesses. I sincerely hope they stop. Wouldn’t it be much better if fans could simply enjoy their time together? I genuinely don’t understand why they do this. What are they hoping to achieve? Do they want me to fail? Or is it jealousy, like, “I don’t even like him, but why does Leeteuk remember you?” Honestly, I don’t know the exact reason.

🐤: I suggested holding an encore concert in December, and Heechul loved the idea. I immediately looked for a venue, but there wasn’t a single one available. 🦚: There really wasn’t. 🐤: So we said, Then let’s do it in January instead. And Heechul said, That’s such a great idea. If we can’t do it in Seoul… let’s do it in Busan! He just throws out ideas like that, so we’re looking into it now. As soon as I heard him say that, I thought, Oh, that’s actually a great idea! While everyone else is gathering in Seoul, we’ll go to Busan where it’s warmer. 🦚: But wouldn’t it be a bit difficult for fans to get to Busan? 💙: No, it wouldn’t! 🐤: See? There are direct flights. So we’ll go to Busan and hold a fansign and an encore concert… 🦚: But you just revealed all of those plans already!
