Shindong fires back at a female junior who looks down on him: "You only make 100 million KRW a month?"

Super Junior member Shindong addressed the income of model and influencer Lee Sian.

Recently, a video was uploaded to the Youtube Channel 'Ch.TheRoots.' In the video, Shindong shows off his candid, straightforward talk while drinking with Lee Sian.

Lee Sian asked Shindong, “Aren’t you married?” Shindong replied with a serious face, "I'm divorced now. I even lost custody, so I’m paying child support every month," which shocked her. He then immediately added, “Actually, I’m single. I had a girlfriend I wanted to marry, but we broke up. It seems people still believe I’m married," drawing attention.

Previously, in 2010, Shindong appeared on SBS’s 'Strong Heart' and revealed he was in a public relationship. He surprised everyone by making an on-air proposal to his girlfriend by saying, "Will you stay happy with me forever? Please marry me." However, it was later reported that the two broke up in 2013.

On this day, Shindong asked Lee Sian, "Your income must have changed a lot since your appearance on 'Single’s Inferno.' I can't ask you to reveal the exact amount, but by how many times did it increase?" Lee Sian surprised him by responding, "I probably earn more than you, Sunbae-nim." Shindong reacted, saying, “You’re completely looking down on me."

Laughing it off as a joke, Lee Sian added, "An extra zero was added to the end of my earnings." Shindong responded, "Then you must’ve been making good money even before, too. So, you went from making 10 million KRW a month to 100 million KRW? You only make 100 million KRW a month?" jokingly, which made viewers laugh.

Meanwhile, Shindong previously revealed on a broadcast that he made a huge profit by selling his SM Entertainment stocks at their peak. In 2020, he made headlines for living in a luxury villa in UN Village, Hannam-dong, Yongsan District, Seoul. It is reported that he recently moved into a luxury apartment with a Han River view worth around 3 billion KRW, previously owned by TVXQ's Max Changmin.

1. [+201][-13] Bragging about money in front of Shindong is just ridiculousㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

2. [+148][-4] You must be kidding me... You don’t have to write these pointless, draining articles.

3. [+114][-8] Hey, no matter what, Shindong is in Super Junior. Just based on his past earnings and fame alone, he definitely has more than you. I had no idea who this Lee Sian person even wasㅋㅋ

4. [+24][-0] I watched the video. Lee Sian was so full of herself...ㅋ She really was looking down on Shindong. I can tell she’s not going to last long~

5. [+22][-1] That girl... Isn't she being a bit thoughtless?;; Shindong has been in the entertainment industry for years... Bragging about money to Shindong of all people…;;

'Grade 4 Physical Disability' Kim Heechul: "My height shrunk from 185cm to 176cm after car accident"

Kim Heechul confessed that his height decreased after he injured his femur in a car accident years ago in the 287th episode of KBS Joy's '20th Century Hit Song' with the theme of 'Singing Again: Artists who Overcame Pain.' The episode revisited iconic songs from legendary singers who returned to the stage after hardships.

During the show, the singers shared their struggles and recovery, and ranked them from 9th to 1st. Kim Heechul, who suffered a fractured femur in a car accident, empathized with Kim Kyungho who continued to perform despite severe pain from avascular necrosis of the femoral head. Heechul revealed, "My bone here completely collapsed, so I actually got shorter. I used to be around 185cm tall." His current height is known to be 176cm.

Due to the car accident in 2006, Kim Heechul suffered injuries to multiple body parts, including his left ankle, thigh, and hip bone. He underwent major surgery to insert seven metal pins and was later classified as having a Grade 4 physical disability.

He later recalled on his personal channel, "It was about 10 years ago. I was exempt from reserve duty, so I went to the hospital for a checkup, and they told me I might not be able to walk, and I shouldn't take long flights." He added, “When I went to get my disability grade, I was completely confused. After much thought, I just denied it all and went back home.”

Sports Kyunghyang

[+580][-38] He’s not even 176cm. He once took off his shoes for a skit on Knowing Bros a while ago and he looked shorter than Park Misun. I'd say he's around 171cm. Stop lying.

[+533][-25] There’s a limit to how much you can exaggerateㅋㅋ

[+406][-16] Just go and ask a random person on the street. Who would believe that?

[+31][-1] If he’s 185cm, that means he’s as tall as Kang Dongwon or Jung Woosung. He needs to say something more believable.

[+25][-2] It was obviously just a joke, but it seems like he's already disliked by a lot of peopleㅎㅎ

[+25][-2] Come on, it was clearly just a joke. People here must be having miserable lives that they can't even take a harmless joke like this...

Super Junior saw the trending post on Theqoo about there being no 90s-born idols on the first day lineup of MAMAㅋㅋ

 

Kim Heechul's Instagram:

Are we even allowed to go to MAMA?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Looking at the lineup, they're all young enough to be our sons and daughters. Back in our day, it was still called MKMF. I hope the junior don't feel obligated to stand up when we perform or greet them. I wouldn't know what to do in that situation. We're all just feeling the same pressure hereㅋㅋㅋ

Eunhyuk's Bubble:

This is hilarious. There's no 90s-born idols in the MAMA lineup. You're making fun of us, aren't you? Everyone must be born in the 2000s. We're born in the 80s. I mean, it does make sense, but it pisses me offㅋㅋㅋㅋ Are we even allowed to be there? Besides... MAMA itself is younger than us. We started back when it was MKMF. We should be allowed to call it 'Inma' (NB: Term often used by older people) instead of 'MAMA'. The kids can call it MAMA. Anyway, since it's our 20th anniversary, we decided to attend for our ELFs despite our packed schedule. But honestly, in the future it'd be nice to give more opportunities to junior groups, right? Anyway... Please look forward to this year no-90s-born MAMA.

theqoo

-??? MAMA used to be MKMF? That's surprising.

-Back then, it was called the Mnet KM Music Festival...

-This is the first time I've heard of MKMFㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-You guys don’t know MKMF??? Are you all babies???

-Anyone here remember MMF before it became MKMF?

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ The fact that there’s no 90s-liners is hilariousㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It’s okay Oppa… You’ll always be our Oppa.

-MKMF still sounds more familiar to meㅋㅋ I couldn't adjust for about 5 years after it changed to MAMA. When they first changed it to MAMA, people criticized it. Like... What the hell is MAMA?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-MAMA itself is younger than themㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ And the fact that they're all young enough to be their sons and daughtersㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-The f*ckㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-The MKMF era was really the bestㅋㅋ Because they held it in South Korea.

-I was in elementary school when it was MKMF... Such nostalgic times.

-Those born in '08 and '09 must feel like kids to themㅋㅋ

Kyuhyun: Celebrities watching VCRs is not as easy as it looks

 

Daesung: Hyung, you're doing so many shows. And they're all popular, too.

Kyuhyun: Honestly, there are a lot of people trying to take my spot.

Daesung: And doing that kind of shows are super chill. You just need to watch VCRs~

Kyuhyun: You think it's easy? I have to listen to 10 hours of world history lectures. We shoot two episodes at once, so it's 10 hours total. And I sit in the front row, so I absolutely can't doze off. The same with 'Han Moonchul's Dashcam Review,' I have to simulate car accidents throughout the filming!

Daesung: Then what about 'Single's Inferno'? Isn't that good?

Kyuhyun: That one's good...ㅎ

instiz

-Hmm... I feel like if he had experienced a normal job, he wouldn't say things like that. He's not even filming every day. It's just one tough day of filming and then it's over. Besides, it's not like he's getting paid minimum wage eitherㅠㅠ I understand that can be exhausting, but from a regular person's perspective, to say that is not 'easy money' is a bit... You know..

-There are staff who spend even more time editing those 10-hour video... He's not a student forced to listen to a class. He's earning money. So it doesn't sound great to hear him say that.

-But still, he keeps doing it because it's worth it, right? If it was too hard, he could just stick to concerts and albums. The professors explaining and the production team preparing the materials beforehand are definitely much more exhausted.

-Getting paid a month's salary to listen a 10-hour lecture once a week VS working 9 hours every weekday for a month.

-He's not even preparing the lecture himself. All he needs to do is just listen. How hard can that be? It's not like he has to take an exam afterward anyway.

-Not allowed to doze off through 10-hour of world history lecture does sound hard, thoughㅋㅋ

-Maybe what he meant is... Just sitting and watching itself is harder than it looks, regardless of how much money he gets...?

-Now that I hear it... That actually does sound like easy money, Mr. Cho Kyuhyun.

-But it's not like a boring school lecture... It's a high-quality one and he's getting paid to listen...

-I'm so jealous of him...

-He keeps making blunders^^;;

-It's not like he said other jobs are 'easy'...ㅋㅋ I've worked as a staff before, and trust me, that job is absolutely not easy money. You don't just sit comfortably like you do at school. You have to sit under lights, cameras are on you, and you have to constantly react. It's truly not an easy job.

-It's not like he does that every day. He does that just once in every two weeks. How is that not 'easy money'?

-The staff have it 5 times more exhausting...

-?? Ordinary people usually spend 10 hours a day to work, including commuting.

Celebrities and influencers who paid tribute to Charlie Kirk

1. Choi Siwon

2. Jin Seoyeon

Rest in peace.

3. Choi Junyong

Charlie Kirk...

We will not forget your efforts for freedom and peace.

Thank you for being with us.

Rest in peace.

4. Sunye

In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins (1 John 4:9-10)

After watching a video of the grieving wife of a man who was tragically shot and killed, as a fellow mother I posted a tribute on my Instagram story with a heavy heart.

But then, people I do not even know came into my space to insult me, expressing their anger over political issues like Charlie Kirk's past statement as a politician, mentioning far-right and far-conservative views, and even dragging Wonder Girls.

Why are you all going that far?

A person died. I am mourning.

Are you laughing at a death of a person and thinking, 'That's what he deserved?'

Are you angry at me because I didn't keep silent?

Please do not be upset that I responded to such disrespectful remarks and unnecessary fights that polluted my space by clicking 'Delete and block.'

Beyond my job, beyond being a mother or a woman. As an individual person, I am mourning the tragic death of another human being. And as an individual, I am pondering how to pass on a slightly better world to the next generation.

Although we have different views and perspectives, I believe that through these differences that we can adjust toward a better direction and through such beautiful conflicts, we can move toward a better world.

Please refrain from weaponizing my tribute post into a political or religious issue and also from leaving disrespectful and demeaning comments on my page. 

5. Kim Jiyoon

The truth is, Charlie Kirk was actually a very a non-violent person.

Rest in peace, Charlie Kirk.

6. Haejoo

1. She liked a video of a white Christian woman bullying a progressive Asian Christian.

The video started off with an Asian Christian saying, "You shouldn't mourn Charlie Kirk as a martyr just because you're a Christian. Don't bash other people's beliefs just because they don't align with your own Christian faith."

The video was then stitched by a White Christian, saying "You either don't know what Charlie Kirk supported or you don't know the Bible. If you were truly Christian, you couldn't be progressive because that goes against Christianity."

This is pretty much the summary of the video that Haejoo liked.

2. She liked a video of a woman telling her followers to unfollow her if they're celebrating Charlie Kirk's death

If you are celebrating Charlie Kirk's death, then please unfollow me.

3. Charlie Kirk's misogynistic statement, saying that the Bible couldn't be fake because the first witness to Jesus' resurrection was a woman. If this was a fake story, they would never have written that a woman was the witness.

Hello, I'm speaking up because I heard that I'm stirring a controversy on a certain online community for liking videos related to Charlie Kirk's tribute.

To be exact, I think I made a judgment based on a few fragmented impressions of his life without fully and accurately understanding his political stance. Many people informed me in the comments, and I only just realized this now. I am also quite shocked myself and have now unliked all related posts. 

As an influencer, I learned I need to understand a situation more clearly before taking any action. I have realized that I'm a very lacking person. I hope those who misunderstood or were hurt by my action don't remain distressed.

I was truly ignorant. I sincerely apologize.

theqoo

-They're all people who look like they would do something like that + turns out they're from that religion.

-Charlie Kirk would've probably f*cking hated being mourned by these people.

-The first three people don't surprise me at all.

-Did she really say Charlie Kirk was non-violent?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ That's truly amazing...

-None of this is even surprising.

-They've all become unlikable. They won't go far.

-Ah... I'm gonna have to cancel my subscription for Kim Jiyoon's channel.

-If the director changed, then it’s not really ‘The Great Escape’ anymore.

-Shindong was absolutely essential to this show. He and Yoo Byungjae were the aces of the show.

-The PD changed and the cast lineup is disappointing... It seems like they're a new show that took the name.

-Who’s going to solve the puzzles without Shindong?

-Are they crazy? Shindong was essential, and they didn’t even contact him?ㅋㅋㅋ

-Shindong really seems to love ‘The Great Escape’... He’s probably the most disappointed.

Eunhyuk’s Music Bank 1st place acceptance speech update (feat. Retirement cancellation)

 

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by EUNHYUK (@be4eunhyuk)

Today, I was incredibly honored to win first place at Music Bank!!!!

I didn't expect to win at all, so I wasn't prepared with an acceptance speech. I ended up rambling like a fool until my time was up. Therefore, I want to properly express my gratitude through this message.

First, to our ELF, ANNIE, and Eundan, who have always supported and loved me.. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much. You guys made me won this trophy.

People might wonder,

'This song wasn’t even visible on the charts… How did it win 1st place?'

It’s all because of your hard work... You voted tirelessly, streamed the song endlessly, and did everything in your power to make me win. This result was created by your love and dedication!

Of course, I worked hard on this album too, but this award carries even more meaning because it was made by your love and dedication. That’s why this award is incredibly meaningful and precious to me.

I promise I won’t settle and will continue to be an artist, an idol, who never disappoints you. I love you all!

To my ODE Entertainment family, who have been working tirelessly day and night since September 2023, you've worked hard We did it!!!!!

Even though we’re still lacking in manpower and have many shortcomings, I'm truly grateful to everyone who believed in D&E and worked with us. I'll treat you all to a company dinner soon! With bonus! Let's work together to make this company even greater!!

I'm also sincerely grateful to SM Entertainment for making me a singer and nurturing me. I still have the pink blood flowing through me. Let's always be together.

To Vincenzo, Shinkung, and all the staff who helped to create my first solo album’s title track ‘UP N DOWN’! Thank you for giving me such a great song. We’re all in the same boat. Please continue to support me. And to everyone involved in creating my beloved side tracks, thank you so much.

To Picasso who directed the overall visual concept for my first solo album, Illustrator Cha Cha for designing such a trendy, adorable, and lovely character, and Designer Lee Dakyung for perfectly bringing the Y2K vibes to this album! Thanks to all of you, the album received a lot of praise. Thank you so much!

To my hair and makeup stylists, Min Ssaem and Gae Ssaem, and all the staff who always make me shine on stage. To NFS’s Jingyu and Bokyung, who endured my endless requests from album jacket shooting to MV and music show styling, you guys worked so hard! The hairstyle, outfit, and makeup this time was flawless!

To my Auspicious Crew, who ground their bodies and created an amazing stage despite the intense choreography... I was able to enjoy dancing this time because of you guys, thank you so much! Let's keep working hard in the future!!

And to Gooyoung Hyung who made me an intense choreography, saying 'just watch me kill you'! Since I'm not dead yet, please give me even more intense choreography in the future!

To my Super Junior members, who cheered me on in their own ways when they heard about my solo debut... Thank you so much. This year is our 20th anniversary, and I feel proud that I could kick off the year with such great start. My goal for this promotion was to work hard and energize the group before Super Junior's 20th anniversary album, and I think I've done that to some extent. So let's prepare well for our new album and make this year ours!

Lastly, to my mom, who diligently prayed every dawn when she heard that I'm releasing a solo album. To my sister, who monitored and supported me, and to my dad in heaven, who’s probably watching me proudly while laughing... Thank you and I love you so much!

Now that I’ve written all this, I realize even if I had been calm, I probably wouldn’t have been able to say all of this on stage. Anyway, today was an incredibly meaningful and happy day for me. Thank you to everyone.

…Also, can I cancel my retirement? 

For those who don’t know: Today, Eunhyuk was a candidate for 1st place on Music Bank. Since he didn’t expect to win, he jokingly said he’d retire if he got 1st place… And then he actually wonㅋㅋ

-The last sentenceㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Retirement cancelationㅋㅋㅋ

Do you know that this person was in Super Junior?

 

Title: Was Key ever in Super Junior?

Q: It's surprising that Jinsoo-nim knows Kai. So you know EXO? Then do you also know that they used to have 12 members?
A: I even know that Kim Kibum was in Super Junior and Hyuna was in Wonder Girls:)

Do they mean during the trainee days??

In that tweet, Kim Kibum = Key, right?

1. I only know his name.

2. I know his name and face.

3. I've never heard of him.

4. I only know SHINee's Key.

theqoo

-I only knew him as Changmin's friend.

-He was my ultimate bias.

-I think he would be the most handsome member in Super Junior... How did I not know about him?

-He's really handsome... But why did he leave?

-I know him... Because I'm a grandma...

-Kimm Kibum was so f*cking popular back then. I'm not even lying.

-So does that mean Super Junior originally had 14 members...?

-Wow, it’s been a while. This brings back memories.

-I completely forgot about him, but seeing his face brought it all back. He was known as the most handsome in Super Junior, how did I forget him?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I know his name and face. What is he up to these days?

-I never forgot about him, not even once.

-I first got into Super Junior because of him.

-I only know his name. I've heard about him on Theqoo several times before. I think that post was saying that there was a Kim Kibum in Super Junior, but he's not SHINee's Key, he's a different Kim Kibum.

-I know his name and face. He was so handsome... I wonder what is he up to these days...

-Wow, I can't believe there are people who don't know this...

Leeteuk reveals the reason why most of the outfits for the SMTOWN concert were reused

 

250112 #이특 #LEETEUK YT (2)
슴콘 의상 재탕 아니나고 하는데, 이번 공연 자체가 제작비가 많지 않다고 해서. 제작하면 활동비로 빠지고 우리가 부담을 하는 거고 공연도 많지 않아서. 의상 제작하면 몇 백만원 나와요.
자꾸 얘기를 하는 이유가, 오해가 생길 수 있어요. 내가 얘기를 안 하면… pic.twitter.com/NVY6kJSzJc

— 하베 (@heiboe_bl) January 12, 2025

Leeteuk: People are asking whether the outfits at SMTOWN Concert were reused, but this concert actually didn't have a large production budget. If we produce new outfits, it's either going to be taken from the funds for our promotional activities or we bear the cost ourselves. Besides, the number of shows isn't that high anyway. Producing new outfits can cost hundreds of thousands of won.

The reason why I keep explaining this is because this could cause a misunderstanding. If I don't speak up, the stylists will get all the blame.

As the cost of producing outfits is deducted from the concert production budget or the funds for our promotional activities, it would be a waste to make expensive outfits that we only wear once.

That's why we sometimes reuse outfits for some events. We have reasons for reusing outfits, and if we think we've reused it too much, we'll speak up and say, 'This isn't right!'

Please understand the circumstances behind this decision regarding the outfits.

I can totally understand Leeteuk's point. Producing too many clothes can harm the environment... So it's completely understandable to reuse outfits for group concerts like SMTOWN Concert. 

theqoo

-It's not even a solo concert, it's a joint concert... It's weird how people are complaining about the outfits...

-I love how he cared enough to explain this.

-Honestly, this is the right approach... Why make new clothes for a one-time event when they already have so many great outfits?

-Is SMTOWN Concert really a one-time event? I mean... They're also going to Tokyo, LA, Mexico City, etc...

-I'm actually okay with idols reusing their outfits, but fans seem to hate itㅋㅋ For a one-time event like SMTOWN Concert, isn't it understandable...? As long as they're not reusing outfits for their comeback stage, it's fine.

-I love it when idols reuse their outfits! It's a waste to only wear them once and wearing old outfits brings back memoriesㅎㅎ

-I actually love it when idols reuse their outfits. It's fun to guess when the last time they wore it.

-With environmental issues going on these days, what's wrong with reusing outfits a bit? Everything costs money these days...

-That's right. I like it because I get to see some outfits that I wanted to see again.

-He explained this so that the stylists wouldn't get blamed. That's very thoughtful of him.

-I fully support idols reusing their old outfits. It saves money, time, labor, and reduces environmental pollution.

-I love it when idols reuse their outfits. It's a waste to only wear something once, especially considering environmental impact it would cost. Besides, those outfits aren't cheap.

-I was so happy to get to see my favorite outfits again.

-If they didn't reuse outfits and raised ticket prices instead to produce new outfits, fans wouldn't like it.

-My fave's stylists got criticized for reusing outfits... So, thank you for explaining.

-This song brings back memories, it makes me tear upㅜ It reminds me of my childhood when I used to watch Inuyasha.

-This song suits Uper Junior so wellㅎㅎ Did Heechul sit out because it was hard for him to dance?

-This is my first time hearing this song and I love it.

-This reminds me of the days when millions of GIFs would flood Cyworld after a performance...ㅠㅠㅠ This song suits them so well...

-This reminds me of the good old daysㅋㅋㅋ I love the song, Super Junior did a really great job.

-Whoa... Whoever suggested Super Junior to cover this deserves an award. I love itㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-This song brings out Super Junior's vocals really well... It feels like I'm back in 2006ㅋㅋㅋ

-The arrangement is a bit disappointing. Shinhwa's version is better.

-Whoa... As an ex-ELF, this really bring back so much memories... They suit this kind of song really well.

-Crazy... Why did Leeteuk look so pretty in the ending?ㅋㅋ

-This was my favorite song of Shinhwa... It really brings back so much memories. Kim Dongwan's vocal in the original version is so refreshing.

-I f*cking loved the original... They did a great job with the coverㅠㅠ

SM Ent.'s senior artists seem to be dissatisfied with the way SM Ent. treat them

SNSD's Taeyeon:

I was really excited to perform and prepared to perform two or three songs with great enthusiasm, so I told the company and waited. But in the end, they didn’t prepare anything, so I couldn’t perform at all.

It's ot that I'm lazy or I don't want to do it... I just genuinely care about the stage and want to do my best, that's all. But they're not helping me do that. I'm seriously questioning what's going on. I'm sharing this with SONEs because I'm worried you might misunderstand me.

TVXQ's Changmin:

Fan: SMTOWN Goods!! Oppa, you look so handsome~~~~ So I'm going to buy 1988218 of them.

Changmin: If you really buy that much, I wonder how the company would treat meㅎㅎ

Super Junior's Yesung:

I've seen some questions regarding SMTOWN concert. 

Well, since it's an event for a company I've been with for over 20 years, I'll try to participate as much as possible. 

But I haven't participated much in the album, especially the group songs. I'm too tired to talk about the cold treatment I get in the group songs, I don't even want to talk about it~

 I'm just going to focus on my own concert, so know that~

theqoo

-Yesung is talking about how little his parts in the group songsㅇㅇ

-What’s going on with how SM Ent. treats their veterans? Even the senior artists mentioned in the post still contributing significantly to the company's revenue, no...?

-Changmin was just joking in that comment...

-If you stan SM Ent., you'll notice that the senior artists are constantly building frustrations, while the fans of the company defend them saying, 'Of course, they should focus on the juniors~' It's an endless cycleㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Celebrities definitely lack a sense of social awareness.

-If SM Ent. really treated them that poorly, they would've left the company already. If they have complaints, they wouldn't renew their contracts.

-What's wrong with Yesung's Bubble messages...? I personally think it has similar nuisance to Taeyeon's, no?

-It's not about the treatment, it's just that the company can't do their job properly. Why did the OP write the post as if those artists are demanding better treatment from the company?

-Take good care of my babies, please...

-Is Yesung’s part really that small?

-Yesung and Changmin’s cases are different from Taeyeon’s.

-In that case, couldn't they just extend the convert time? They could just increase the number of participating artists and songs.

-Hasn't Yesung always like that? I remember him complaining about not having enough parts in Super Junior's songs and it made headlines.

-Yesung has always been like that. He's that guy who tweeted about losing his parts when Kyuhyun and Ryeowook got discharged from the military.

Leeteuk discovered his old fan when he became an MC at RIIZE's showcase

Apparently, the fan was holding Wonbin's slogan. Ah, so sadㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋ Leeteuk recognized her right away, but he pretended not to know until the end because he was afraid she wouldn't be able to enjoy the showcase if he recognized her.

instiz

-In which show did he mention this?
ㄴAround 16:20

-So sad... But still, that fan has pink blood...

-Wow... I bet he had so many mixed feelings...

-Huk... If he recognized her, that means she must've attended a lot of offline events

ㄴIn the video Leeteuk said that she has been supporting him since his debut and have always followed him.

-But these kinds of situations are pretty common... There are many cases where fans who switched fandoms get recognizedㅠ

-That's actually sad...ㅠㅠ

-Hul... It must've been a huge shock for himㅜ

-There's nothing we can do about it...

-Ah... If I were him, I wouldn't be able to hide my expressions... It's somehow so sadㅠ

-It's sad, but also funny... What are the chances of him spotting her in RIIZE's showcase...

-Maybe she's multi-fandomed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-If it was RIIZE's debut showcase, that Noona might be pink bloodㅠ I don't think he should be too disheartened...

-Maybe she just made room for another group in heart...!

-Maybe that fan's heart just got a bit more spacious...?
ㄴI agree. I also have many people living in my heartㅋㅋㅋ

-How many years has she been a pink blood..... SM Ent., you better treat fans well.

Super Junior Ryeowook Struck Back at Haters on Instagram Again

@leeetttttmmm: Wow, do you seriously think you earn money with just your abilities? I don't have to much to say because I still consider the feelings of Super Junior's fansㅋㅋㅋ Ryeowook-ah, snap out of it. You're not at the level to earn money with just your abilities. Get a grip.

Ryeowook's reply: Who are you? Why are you talking about my level? I have never lost my senses. Please stop leaving malicious comments. I can see them all.

Quoted tweet (Haiqi Qin): Ryeowook-ah... Let's go on a diet. Can't you even manage your body now that you're in a relationship? Then why earn money from fans... Just quit and run a café with your girlfriend. As a fan of over 10 years, you're really pathetic.

Ryeowook's reply: So I'm pathetic? To me, you're just as pathetic. Scary to think that you've liked me for 10 years. Perhaps during those 10 years, you didn't like me, but you liked the idea of yourself liking someone else. I sincerely hope you'll see yourself clearly. And I didn't earn money because of you, but because of my hard work. It's the result of countless hours of effort and path. Don't speak recklessly. 

I feel like I shouldn't even have to explain myself, but to think that there are people out there who freely assume and judge, thinking that I don't even value my own fans. When I said, 'I didn't earn money because of you, but because of my hard work', why do people automatically assume 'you' = 'fans'? Then say things like, 'You earn money because of your fans, but then act like you earned it all yourself,' 'If I were your fans, I'd be hurt,' etc. Those who curse and insult me think they can do whatever they want because they're the ones who spent money on myself. Isn't that power abuse? Why shouldn't I retaliate if I'm hurt? Aren't celebrities human too? Do I always have to endure and overlook everything? If that's the case, only AI celebrities will be left in the end. 

I don't consider those, who spend money on me but then insult and hurt me by spreading hate comments, as my fans. There are real fans who support me, stand by me, and cheer me on, even in moments like this. They are precious people who have trust in me and share both the past and the future with me. It's with these people that I've come this far and achieved what I have now. I hope those who thoughtlessly type out hurtful words without seeing the consequences in their future realize that their actions could lead to regret down the line, even though their faces aren't visible behind the keyboard.

theqoo

-Why do they act like that when they have their favorite singer's picture as their profile picture...

-I don't really know Ryeowook, but he speaks well and seems wise. I've always thought the same when I see haters, but seeing an idol express it like this on Twitter feels refreshing.

-They should at least remove their favorite idol's face from their profile picture before talking like that. I can't understand such behaviorㅋㅋㅋ Haters never realize they're haters. They always make excuse like 'I've been a fan for so long', 'I'm the one who makes you where you're at now'...

-Do they think it's okay to criticize a celebrity's appearance if they spend their money on them? People like that are not fans. They're just haters pretending to be fans. 

-How much money did they spend on him to act like that?? Even if a few of haters like them leave, it wouldn't make a big difference to Ryeowook's life.

-What's with this nonsense again? Seriously, it's hilariousㅋㅋㅋ

-Ryeowook, fighting!

-If being an idol and earning money seems easy, then why don't they become idols and earn money themselves? If they think the idols they stan are worthless, they should just leave.

-Why are they doing this to Ryeowook?

-Ryeowook is absolutely right.

-Ryeowook hasn't said anything wrong.

-Ryeowook earned money because he sings well. What makes them think he didn't earn his own money through his abilities?

-He calmly spoke only the right words. I hope my singer thinks of me in the same way.

-Seriously, the fandom culture is really weird. It's just outright bullying.

An Idol Who Claps Back at Music Core PD's Statement 'If Idols Only Lip-Sync Instead of Performing Live, They Shouldn't Be Performing at All'

 1. In 2014, Music Core declared that they would no longer allow singers to perform with AR or lip-sync. 

2. Ryeowook posted on Twitter, "Fancy stage setups and good lighting are crucial for singers, just like sound systems. So, focusing solely on live performances without considering areas for enhancement feels like oppression."

3. Music Core PD said in an interview that the problem is more about how well the singers perform rather than issues with sound or microphones.

4. Ryeowook performed in Music Core along with the other Super Junior members

5. They absolutely slayed the live performanceㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ They became legendary, people praised their performance and said that Ryeowook had every right to clap back at the PD.

theqoo

-He's Ryeowook!!

-I wish music shows would tell viewers if a performance is lip-synced or not, just like they used to do in the old days. 

-That legendary "Mamacita" eraㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Yesung was absent due to military service, but Kyuhyun and Ryeowook alone just crushed it, and the other members were all above average too.

-If the sound system is bad, even if the singer sings well, it won't sound proper due to issues like lyrics being inaudible or low notes not being captured properly, resulting in the low notes being lost, and high notes sounding too sharp, making it seem like the high notes are off-pitch.

-Ryeowook was heavily criticized for clapping back at the PD's statement, but after his performance on Music Core, the reactions changed in the speed of lightㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-He's really good.

-Ryeowook sings really well.

-This reminds me of the time when my idol, who debuted over 10 years ago, used to record music shows at 4 AM...ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Yeah, I agree... When will the sound quality of Korean music shows get better? Even though they're music shows, there's been no improvement in sound quality at all...

-Wow, back then idols hardly used AR and did almost full-live performances.

-Even though music shows are broadcast every week, there's been no improvement, and at award ceremonies held once a year, they mess up the sound so much that even if the live performance is perfect, they can't get the sound right for broadcasting, so they end up lip-syncing... It's really frustrating.

-Honestly, I think the second generation has the best live performance skills. Super Junior's vocals are really diverse, and within Super Junior, Ryeowook has the best pitch control.

-Wow, I'm not even a Super Junior fan, but I love this song, so I sometimes listen to it these daysㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Ryeowook sounds really amazing live

-I hope all music shows are done live from now on... I want to see real singers' skills.

-It's funny to demand live performances when back then idols had to record at 3 or 4 in the morning.
