Super Junior's members Eunhyuk and Donghae met singer Brian.
On the 21st, a video titled "'We came to see your house' Brian clutches the back of his neck as Super Junior's invasion (Unreleased SM debut group stories, the founder of SM etiquette training)' was posted on the Youtube channel 'The Brian.'
That day, Eunhyuk and Donghae visited Brian's house in Pyeongtaek to chat. while sitting at Brian's home bar, they ended up reminiscing about the 2002 World Cup.
Brian recalled that he didn't like Fly to the Sky's song 'Sea of Love' when he first heard it, saying, "Hwanhee and I were pursuing R&B hip-hop, but 'Sea of Love' was pop."
However, he went along because Brown Eyes' 'Already One Year' was a hit at the time. Brian added, "The timing was good. It became one of the 'World Cup' song," saying it worked out well.
Hearing this, Donghae said, "You must've been happy back then. I was preparing to debut in a group called 'Smile' at the time, but it got canceled because the World Cup exploded in popularity," expressing regret.
When Brian asked what the group name 'Smile' meant, Eunhyuk replied, "It just meant a bright group," and casually added, "I still don't know what Super Junior means."
Eunhyuk explained, "Right before our debut, we went on a group workshop for two days and one night. We put together a performance and showed it to the staff. After seeing it, (Lee Sooman) said, 'You guys aren't just juniors. You're Super Junior,' that's how it happened."
In response, Brian joked, "That's just like Hwanhee. We were told we had to perform the next day, and suddenly the day before, they told him, 'You're Hwanhee now.' He was so confused," adding to the laughter.
