Ryeowook reveals Kyuhyun's clever actions as maknae of Super Junior


Super Junior's Ryeowook and Kim Ye Rim (Lim Kim) were guests on the October 9 installment of MBC's 'Radio Star'.

On this day, Kyuhyun revealed that he was a fan of Kim Ye Rim.  However, more shockingly, Ryeowook delved into Kyuhyun's past behavior as Super Junior's maknae.


Ryeowook revealed that Kyuhyun joined the group six months after they debuted, essentially taking away the title of maknae from Ryeowook.  

He continued, saying that drinking in the dorms was not allowed, yet Kyuhyun entered his room one time after drinking alcohol and began to cry, saying it was because of Leeteuk.  Ryeowook explained that Leeteuk did have a bit of a territorial streak, meaning he was not so kind to outsiders.  The MC pointed out that most groups tended to act that way when they received new members.

Ryeowook continued, "Kyuhyun was really clever.  When we make ramen, usually the maknae has to cook it, but Kyuhyun purposely made it like the Han River so he wouldn't have to do it."  That is not all.  Once, Kyuhyun had to cook ham, but he brought sesame oil instead of cooking oil and asked if that was what he used to cook the ham, which made everyone on 'Radio Star' laugh.

The MCs agreed that Kyuhyun must have been quite clever indeed while Kyuhyun insisted he truly had no idea what he was doing, never having cooked before.

Check out the video at around 1:28 above to listen to Ryeowook lay out his complaints against maknae Kyuhyun.

Korean celebrities are taking a stand against the vicious rumors that are circulating via messages left anonymously on the internet.  First, IU caught the perpetrator spreading rumors about her impending marriage with a male idol star and the two parties settled to drop the charge if the perpetrator did 200 hours of community service.  Currently,Baek Ji Young is in the midst of suing the netizens who left appalling messages on the internet, claiming her miscarriage was all her fault.

It turned out that after the first round of the lawsuit, the vicious comments about her miscarriage did not subside, resulting in a second round.  Still after, another perpetrator caused public indignation when he uploaded a confirmation picture of his summons.

Baek Ji Young recently made an appearance on 'Healing Camp' where she revealed, "There was one comment that said Baek Ji Young's new song came out.  The title is 'The Great Miscarriage,' featuring [my husband] Jung Suk Won.  I couldn't really comprehend it.  It made me want to see the face of whoever wrote it."

Baek Ji Young's agency said, "Comments saying she killed the baby purposely and pictures that made it look like Ji Young was killing a baby were so traumatic that we decided to file a lawsuit."

A rep from the cyber crimes unit said, "We filed suits against eleven people.  They were all men in their late teens to mid twenties.  They ranged from students to employees."

Baek Ji Young's side revealed that they plan on a strong confrontation with absolutely no leniency.
