That's not the usual formula for an idol group, but did you have any concerns about the concept? For example, that you would lose the idol image and that your popularity would suffer.
Eeteuk : At first, we weren't very worried. We wanted to break out from the general idol mold, but as we continued like that, we started worrying that we weren't being treated like idols. Super Junior wouldn't be mentioned when idol groups were being discussed. We were also stressed because we had to keep changing from being cool and charismatic on stage and then funny and amusing on variety shows. At first, fans would say, "Oppa, [don't forget that] you're an idol," but if we didn't talk on variety shows, they would say, "Oppas, why aren't you talking? Why are you being edited out [for not being entertaining enough]?" (laugh)
Donghae : Still, rather than being trapped in a mold, by doing individual activities and solidifying our positions, we shine even more when we come together as one. Even when we're in our 40's working individually, I want to keep the name of Super Junior's Donghae.
Eeteuk : I think things like this help our group's long term success.
But weren't you worried being apart from each other for so long? You must have wondered when you would come together as one again.
Eeteuk : We had lots of worries like that. There's a saying that if you gather, you live, and if you fall apart, you die, but for us, we live when we are gathered and we live even when we are apart. (laugh) I was also stressed when I first MC-ed for M.net's "Love Fighter" because the fans really didn't like it. The show's known for being provocative, and there was talk that the team might suffer by my putting my name on the show. [As in, Teuk taking responsibility over the show by being the MC and literally having his name on it; it was "Eeteuk's Love Fighter".] However, after MC-ing for almost a year, it actually became the program that fans remember the most. The show was so provocative at times that I tried to look at it by taking one step back. I think I learned from that in many ways.
Eeteuk, do you have aspirations for MC-ing? You've even become the MC for KBS's "Road Show Quiz Expedition."
Eeteuk : Yes, I was able to join a KBS show. (laugh)
Siwon : Wow~ As expected! [This is the closest translation I could make. Siwon says 역시, which pretty much means, of course, I couldn't expect less of Teuk hyung.] (claps)
Eeteuk : When I see senior idol singers, some act and some are in musicals, but there aren't any who MC. I think that I would be able to do well in the long run in that area...
You've been focusing your attention on long term success [throughout the interview.] (laugh)
Eeteuk : Short term success is not good (laugh)
It seems that individual activity really influences the members.
Sungmin : It becomes something to learn from, whether it's radio DJing or acting. I even went on a talk show with Shindong. I don't talk very well, so it would have been hard if I went alone, but Shindong made it very comfortable and I learned a lot.
Ryeowook : I haven't done radio DJ-ing, but when our members DJ, they have control over all the main broadcasting stations from 8pm to 12am. I was proud seeing things like that. In my case, I did promotions for Super Junior K.R.Y, and in the future, I want to continue showing my singing abilities through K.R.Y.

Ryeowook, you participated a lot in the ballads on this album; what do you think has changed compared to before?
Ryeowook : As we began preparing for the 3rd album, I began thinking that I should create a style of my own. I was supposed be showing my own colors, but I seemed to be imitating other singers. I worried about it a lot with Yehsung hyung and Kyuhyun, and because Kyuhyun and I had to record during our free time while promoting Super Junior M, I kept thinking about it whenever we went to Korea to record. That's why I would go to the recording studio before going hom, and I slowly found my own style.
Ryeowook, you're a vocalist, but the fans say that your acting was most memorable in the movie "Attack of the Pin-up Boys."
Siwon : He's a hidden talent. (laugh) I also asked Ryeowook how to act while we were filming. He responded to me in one sentence, to follow the feel.
Everyone : Oh~
Siwon : I learned a lot. (laugh)
Ryeowook : Actually, many of our members act, so I learned a lot watching them.

In "Attack of the Pin-up Boys," the narrator says "We are high schoolers," but weren't your lives different from that of ordinary high schoolers?
Donghae : Truthfully, we don't have many memories from high school. I wasn't able to attend school regularly since my third year of junior high. When I woke up, I would go to school, and when school ended, I would go to train. I'd go home at 1 or 2 am. Things were like that until we debuted.
Sungmin : For several years.
Donghae : Even then, we didn't have any complaints, and when we were told to go home, we said we would practice more. We would lock up by ourselves and even practice with only our underwear on. I wish I had more memories of high school, but I think that because of the time spent practicing then, we were able to get where we are now.
How did it feel filming "Attack of the Pin-up Boys" altogether?
Donghae : Kyuhyun wasn't able to participate because of an unfortunate event, but it was great being able to do something together. All 13 of us seemed to feel, "Yes, we should definitely do it."
You're busy individually when you're not doing activities together as a group, but do you have time to spend together?
Donghae : We do at night. When it's really late, past midnight, we eat together first. We go to the sauna too. (laugh)
Ryeowook : Teuk hyung goes to the sauna.
Donghae : Because he's old. (laugh) Before we go to sleep after eating, I have to blend him strawberries and milk. (laugh)
Eeteuk : I tell him "Donghae, put in honey for me." (laugh)
Ryeowook : In the morning, we have to feed him ginseng. (laugh) I'm just kidding.
No matter how busy you are, you do sleep at home [the dorm].
Eeteuk : Because there's nowhere to go. My house is actually in Eunpyeonggu, which is on the close side, but it's been over 6 months since I went home. The dorm is more comfortable than home now. When I go home, there's nothing there and there's nothing to do.
Donghae : If we don't eat together, I have to eat by myself. We're not the type to go out and play, and if we're not together we get bored or depressed, so we always suggest eating together to each other.
Eeteuk : At the dorm, Ryeowook makes food often. He asks, "Do you want strawberries?" and washes them for us.
The members seem very close.
Eeteuk : Donghae, Eunhyuk, and I have known each other for 10 years. I've known Sungmin for 9 years. We're in our mid-20's, but because we met in junior high and high school, we're still the same as we were then. That's why we still think that we're not mature enough at times, and we still have the passion we had back then.
Sungmin : We're immature. (laugh)
I saw Eeteuk crying when Kyuhyun sang on SBS "Star King," and it showed how attached he is to the group.
Eeteuk : I was with Kyuhyun when the car accident happened, so I know the exact circumstances. Knowing that and seeing Kyuhyun made me emotional like that.
Sungmin : He's crying again. Why did you make him cry? (laugh)
"It's really funny conversing abroad. When I don't know a word while speaking English, I'll use Chinese."

Kyuhyun, are you recovered now? You were injured badly, and everyone must have been really worried.
Kyuhyun : I'm completely fine now. At that time, I wasn't in the condition to promote the 2nd album, but while lying in the hospital for three months, I kept wanting to perform, so I had surgery and started participating in group activities again.
Siwon : That's why we were nervous whenever he performed. One time, he came on stage tottering. I was going back to my spot after finishing my part when Kyuhyun staggered. For a second, I wondered, "It's a live broadcast, but should I carry him and run?"
Eeteuk : The doctor even said that it was a miracle that Kyuhyun recovered. Kyuhyun and I were in the same hospital, and the doctor said both our recovery speeds were quick and good. He said it's because I'm youthful, and Kyuhyun is young... [The word that the doctor used to describe Teuk is to describe adults as being young; the word he used for Kyuhyun purely means young, and it is used to refer to children or teenagers.]
Everyone : Hahahaha.
Eeteuk : (laugh) So he said it was very good.
Siwon : It must be good to be youthful. (laugh)
If the 13 of you are together, you must argue often. How do you handle each other's opinions?
Donghae : Because there's 13 of us, if we keep talking, good suggestions are made, and we accept them fairly. We argue, but we also play, and cry. It's always good being with the members. That's why I think we were able to do well in Asia.
How was it at first in China? The environment is total different from that of Korea.
Kyuhyun : It was fascinating. I'm a foreigner in China, but it was moving having people from another country welcome us.
There must be situations in which you speak Chinese one day and Thai the next. Were you able to handle such varied activities?
Kyuhyun : Yes, because I felt that I receive a lot of love when I see these fans who like me.
Eeteuk : When we were promoting Super Junior T, we did activities in Japan, so we were learning Japanese. We went to China for the Asia tour, and I said "hi" [in English] without realizing it. (laugh) After staying in China and going to Thailand, I kept confusing whether I should say, "Ni hao" or "Sawadikap."
Siwon : It's really funny conversing. When I didn't know a word while speaking English, I'd use Chinese.
I've been to Thailand before, and there was a picture of Super Junior covering the entire wall of a shopping mall.
Eeteuk : The thing that makes us really happy is that they treat us really well when we go, even more than we expect. It's like how late 1980s Hong Kong actors were treated when they went to Korea to film commercials.
If you say things like that, it makes you look old. (laugh) Pretend you don't remember. (laugh)
Eeteuk : Than should I just say I heard it from my grandma? (laugh) Anyway, even if we go abroad, people cheer hard for us. We filmed a motorcycle commercial once, and I heard that in Thailand, that model of motorcycle was sold the most. We went to Thailand two days ago because a motorcycle was released with our name. It was really moving.
Sungmin : It's embarassing to say it myself, but we have a lot of chances to meet Korean fans when we do promotions in Korea, so they don't always follow us. However, because we go to Thailand infrequently, the fans there keep following us the few days we're there, and there's so many people, to the point that we can't move when we go to the mall.
Eeteuk : That's why, if it's possible, I want to learn languages more fluently so that we can create a variety show just for us across Asia.
"We're really happy now, and we hope we can keep moving forward like this"

Siwon, you were abroad by yourself while filming "A Battle of Wits." How did you feel?
Siwon : First of all, I became more responsible, because if I made a mistake, that would be a minus for our entire group. Also, there was a lot of psychological stress while filming "A Battle of Wits." It was hectic because I was hearing different languages everywhere around me. That was also the time when we were preparing for debuting as Super Junior, so I would stay up all night filming and sleep a little on the way to the airport, and then sleep again on the airplane. When I woke up, it would be Korea. Living like this for a month and a half was really stressful psychologically.
How was it filming a movie with legends like Ahn Sung Ki and Andy Lau? Did Ahn Sung Ki give you any special advice?
Siwon : In Ahn Sung Ki sunsaengnim's [teacher] case, he just said in one sentence... "(imitating Ahn Sung Ki's voice) Just do it comfortably." (laugh) If that were now, I wouldn't have been able to, but at that time, I told him my situation and told him, "I don't know what I should do." Whenever I did that, he would be eating sunflower seeds from his left hand and say, "Just do it comfortably." It felt unreal that I was filming a movie with Andy Lau sunsaengnim until we filmed the first scene. After we filmed the first take of the first scene, it finally felt real to me and my legs began to shake. Actually, that scene that I filmed with him was the most important, and when I think about it now, I'm disappointed. I could have done better.
lastly.....tp aku rasa worth it baca bg diehard fans suju...kekekee
You've shown us a lot doing individual activities. Do you each have your own plans for the future?
Eeteuk : I can't know the thoughts of the other members, but I want to make the team sturdy. Rather than focusing on the individual, the roots have to be strong. Super Junior has to succeed in Korea in order to succeed abroad. That's why, like Donghae says he wants to do, I want to continue releasing albums into our 30's and 40's. For myself, I have a lot of interest in MC-ing.
Sungmin : If I get the opportunity, I want to show people my acting.
Ryeowook : A singer-songwriter. I majored in music composition in high school and I'm still writing songs now.
Donghae : I want to try acting, and I want to give each of the members a song as a present. It doesn't matter if those songs would be released on official albums or not.
Kyuhyun : Because I'm young (laugh,) I want to try everything.
Kyuhyun, your past as an olympiad winner [I'm pretty sure it was a math olympiad] created a stir. Do you have any plans to start studying again?
Kyuhyun : No, I don't. (laugh)
Eeteuk : Kyuhyun's had owns a very big college entrance preparation academy. [a hakwon, or cram school]
Oh, an idol star who operates a prep school? (laugh)
Kyuhyun : I'm the next director. (laugh)
You wouldn't need to advertise. (laugh)
Kyuhyun : The director of the prep school filming the commercial... (laugh)
Siwon : I think making plans is fine, but if they don't go the way you want, it can be disappointing, so I want to be a Choi Siwon who works hard and is acknowledged no matter what he does.
Everyone : Oohhhhhhh.
This is the last question. I think it would be good for Eeteuk to reply. What kind of team does Super Junior want to be in the future?
Eeteuk : I'd like for it to stay the way it is now. We should work hard individually and when we gather together, we should work hard together. I wish this would continue for 10, 20 years. Because I'm so happy now, I wish we can keep pressing forward like this rather than have things change.
