It cannot be easy to be in an idol group, but to be in a successful idol group and stand out is not something just anyone can do. Super Junior’s Eunhyuk has learned the tricks of the trade and made his way to the top of the idol industry as one of the most recognizable members of one of KPOP’s most popular groups.
“A few years ago I mentioned on the radio that I would go to Paris for vacation. At the airport in France there were fans waiting for me. I was very surprised since I wasn’t in Europe for any official activities,” Eunhyuk said in an exclusive interview with 10Asia.
Eunhyuk is the main dancer for Super Junior and one half of the duet unit “Oppa Oppa” with fellow member Donghae. As a performer he is known for his flexible and energetic moves; as an entertainer he is known for his witty and mischievous personality.
“Dance is the one thing I cannot give up. Since the beginning Super Junior has not just been about performing, but being active in all fields of entertainment, so my dreams as an entertainer or MC are becoming bigger.”
No doubt we can expect more from him than what we’ve already seen so far.
Eunhyuk introduced his top five most memorable movies with not just the plot summary, but also shared the memories that he associates with them. Through these recommendations Eunhyuk reveals more than what kind of movies he enjoys, but what sort of memories are important to him.
“If you tell me to pick the best movie, it has to be ‘Titanic’. Even though at that time I wasn’t old enough to watch the movie, my parents took me to watch it at the theater. I cried a lot as I watched it and even bought the DVD later. When it came out as 3D not too long ago, I put aside time to watch it again even though my schedule was busy. I must have watched it over fifty times, and I love it enough to memorize the lines. Ever since I was young I loved scenes of space or the sea, so I love the scenes with the sea or the ship. I normally look up pictures of marine life online. I am the sea type.”
Titantic was one of the biggest blockbusters in Hollywood and widely considered a cinematic classic. It is directed by James Cameron and stars Leonardo Dicaprio and Kate Winslet.
“There are many times when I watch a movie on DVD by myself. It’s difficult to match times with other people. I end up watching emotional or romantic movies like “P.S. I Love You” or “Closer.” Although they are fun to watch, those indirect experiences can really help in writing song lyrics. “Closer” is one of those movies you can’t just experience it indirectly. I really got into it watching it at night one time, and I thought the characters and the premise was really interesting.”
“Closer” was based on a screenplay of the same title and had such stars as Natalie Portman, Julia Roberts, Jude Law, and Clive Owen. The story is about four Londoners and their interchangeable complex relationships.
“I don’t get many chances to go to theaters and it is an especially difficult task to go watch with the other members. So when a movie premier is part of our schedule, I am secretly thrilled. We were invited to the premier of this movie, and we watched it without knowing anything about it. It was funnier and more touching than we expected it to be. I watched it with Leeteuk and we both agreed that we should watch it again with all the other members because it was a movie about a special friendship.
“Untouchable” is a recent French movie that was a hit not only in France but internationally. It ran for several weeks in Korea. The movie is about a quadriplegic aristocrat who hires a young man from the projects to be his caretaker.
“Sometimes I go on dates with Sungmin. We’ve known each other since before we debuted so I enjoy going out to eat or watching movies with him. Sungmin suggested we watch the movie together and it was really great. Actually, I hadn’t watched ‘Thor’ or ‘Iron Man’ before, but after watching this movie I became very interested in these heroes. I thought about cosplaying as the Avengers with the members for our next Super Show.”“The Avengers” was a huge blockbuster action movie based on the popular Marvel Comics super heroes.
5. Hello Ghost (2010 – Kim Young Tak)
“The movie that I watched with the most members is probably ‘Hello Ghost’. We watched it on the airport because someone recommended it to us before. At first we thought it was a comedy so we were wondering why everyone was crying, but then when I came back from the bathroom I saw that all the members were crying. They all clutched their blankets to their mouths and their eyes were swollen, and although I cried too I couldn’t help but laugh at how we all looked. I didn’t expect to be moved so I was even more touched I think.”
“Hello Ghost” is a Korean movie staring Cha Tae Hyun. He plays a man who, after having several failed suicide attempts, discovers that he can see and communicate with ghosts.
From these movie recommendations we can see that Eunhyuk not only believes in his own dreams, but the dreams of Super Junior as a group.
“My goal is to be more active in broadcasts. However, everything that I do is for Super Junior. Isn’t it an amazing thing when people who only shine a little bit get together to become a group that shines brightly?”
As a firm believer in individual and group synchronization, he is a strong pillar in the group.
“I think that when Leeteuk leaves for the army I should be able to stand alone. That’s why I’m trying to learn how to do well on entertainment shows even without the other members. Actually, as a team all the members have the responsibility of leading the group. No matter who takes a break, the group has to stay alive. That’s what I think Super Junior really is about.”
