Ryeowook and Eunhyuk
Super Junior‘s Ryeowook stated on the July 23rd broadcast of Mnet‘s ‘Beatle’s Code 2‘, that he thinks Eunhyuk ranks low in appearances within Super Junior. The group recently placed first on Mnet, only within a week of their comeback with ‘Sexy, Free, and Single‘.
In the episode, as soon as the members sat down, they had already started bantering playfully when they started talking about popularity and rankings within the group. When asked about appearances, Ryeowook stated, “I think Eunhyuk hyung and I rank relatively low in the group‘, which surprised Eunhyuk.
In response, Eunhyuk said, “I’m not exceptionally good-looking, but I honestly don’t think I place low in looks. Ryeowook does!” making everyone on the set laugh. Ryeowook, unable to let the statement go, shot back jokingly, “Even now, I still get surprised by Eunhyuk when he doesn’t have make-up on.” Unfazed, Eunhyuk went on to bring up Ryeowook’s past photos and how shocking they are, continuing the cute Tom-and-Jerry-like banter.
Known for being extremely close and tight-knit as a group, Super Junior revealed that even they have fights occasionally, stating, “We fight more because we are so close.” They also revealed that the member who gets in arguments the most is none other than group maknae, Kyuhyun. Kyuhyun, they said, likes to joke around with the other members and make fun of them. The group also revealed that leader Leeteuk has only ever fought with Eunhyuk.
