Following
the release of their 6th album with the title track Sexy, Free and
Single, popular stars Super Junior revealed that they’ve decided to
take turns enlisting for their mandatory military service during one of their
press conferences.
Shindong stated, “Once,
all the members discussed our plans for military enlistment all day. Should we
all enlist at once, one at a time, half and half, we considered a lot of
options and decided that it’s best to go one at a time in order to maintain
Super Junior.”
Yesung: “I’m
curious about what will happen after Leeteuk hyung goes, but it’s a
relief that no matter who leaves for the military, we’ll maintain our team. I
think it’s good that the other members can still be active despite one or two
enlisting.”
Eunhyuk: “I’d
like for Super Junior to exist for a long time. No matter what individual
members do, they’ll still be part of Super Junior.”
Finally, Leeteuk,
who’s enlisting after promotions are over, commented, “I think military
service will be my biggest homework assignment and longest ‘schedule’, but it’s
not important when I go to the army, it’s important that I go and finish so I
can return and be part of the next album. I’ll return and show a splendid side
of myself.”
Fans
commented, "Simple words that beautifully touch the heart", "ONCE
A MEMBER ALWAYS A MEMBER", "This whole leaving for the army thing is
just too hard and sad for me to handle!", "I wonder if kyuhyun
would be exempted since he had quite a fatal accident back then" and "2018.
Everyone will be finished by then :)".
