The Super Junior members revealed that they nearly split up over a few misunderstandings.
On the July 24th broadcast of SBS ‘Strong Heart‘, the Super Junior members opened up saying, “We were on the verge of breaking up because of an argument we had right before a live performance.”
“Leeteuk once got really mad right before an Inkigayo shoot,” Eunhyuk said. “The members continually joked around with him to the point where he inevitably grew angry.”
He continued, “It wasn’t me that was causing mischief, but Leeteuk misunderstood and thought it was me and got angry. Kyuhyun was the one causing most of the trouble, and Leeteuk made up with him but left me alone so it made me upset.”
Leeteuk who was listening to Eunhyuk share this story explained, “I was trying not to grow angry at their fun and games, but it didn’t stop so I eventually exploded. I got mad at Kyuhyun and my emotions got the best of me so I stepped outside, when I found Kyuhyun he was crying and so I comforted him.”
“At that moment, I realized that these continuous misunderstandings and agitated emotions are what could cause our group to break up,” Leeteuk continued. “It was only 10 minutes before the live performance, and I felt bad that I could not make it up to Eunhyuk but there was just not enough time.”
In order to make Eunhyuk feel better, Leeteuk decided that he would ask Eunhyuk to say the speech after they earned the #1 K-Chart win. When Leeteuk asked him, Eunhyuk looked unenthused, and his thank-you speech was given with an expressionless face that was rather dry and formal. This only caused the atmosphere within the group to become more tense.
Fellow member Shindong then remarked, “These little misunderstandings caused such big fights that it was really upsetting. After that happened, we were able to bond our friendship more tightly on other variety programs.”
