You make me feel
heartbreaking, but I still love you.
“If
the world betrays Super Junior, ELF will betray the whole world!” -- ELF
You used to say
there wasn’t enough mics, the stage wasn’t big enough
…….Now the stage
is big enough, and there are enough mics for you, how come some of you are
still absent?
The first trophy
for Sorry Sorry in Music Bank, “KIBUM-AH,
HYUNGS DID IT!” – Leeteuk
“See
you again in 4jib, there will not be any change of heart.” – Leeteuk
“Whatever

I love you.” – Donghae
cyworld update during 4jib
“Altough
you’re not on my side now, I know we’re always together. I didn’t say I love
you, but I know we love each other. Even though we didn’t mention ‘Only’, we
know that we’re 13 in 1.” – Donghae twitter
update during 4jib
“Those who trust me and follow me, hold up your
albums with both hands, yell powerfully but also modestly. SJ is SJ.” – Heechul cyworld update during 4jib
I believe
everyone knows that they were Suju05 in the very beginning. Actually the
members of Suju05 were selected, another 13 members.
With the
popularity of U, Suju05 can continue further. If not then the old members have
to disband and survive by their own.
Super Junior is
always the experiment product. Luckily, the experiment never fails.
We don’t mind
waiting as long as your path is full of happiness.
“we
leave a space for you, hyung you just need to stand there.” – Eunhyuk said to Heechul
During 3jib,
Heechul was busy with acting, no time to practice with members. When he heard
dongsaeng said this to him, he did himself in make-up room and cried.
Wonderful
sapphire blue balloons filling the sky, the balloons float slowly and become
small, just like the heart of every fan.
It looks small
when viewing them from a far. But if they gather together, they’re strong
enough to protect our beloved one.
Actually, ELF has
another meaning ……Endless Love Forever
‘Kim
Kibum, did you eat well?” written on Korean
ELF’s banner, cried when see that ;~~~~;
He won’t change
for anyone but is willing to change for SJ.
‘except
SJ, there is nothing to be my ultimate.” –
Kangin
“actually
nothing lasts forever. But my truly wish is to keep Super Junior’s name and
make it last forever.” – Leeteuk on
Strong Heart, Sorry Sorry era
‘Although
you’re separated, you’re still in one group.” – Heechul
“If
S and J are missing from the 26 alphabets, the remaining ones won’t be 24
alphabets. It’s because E, L, F will leave together with them!” -- ELF
“We
want to fly higher and further, until the world is covered with sapphire blue.”
-- ELF
Meeting you is
the most beautiful unexpected matter in my life.
“1
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13, count until 13 and stop crying. ELF are tough.” – ELF ;___;
“not
knowing what forever is, we therefore have to cherish the present.” -- Kangin
Although with the
most number of members, they stay true and united as one, anytime, anywhere,
just like before.
Through the bad
and good times, when they were at valley low or at the peak now, their hearts
beat as one, just like when they first started.
“If
Super Junior don’t leave, ELF won’t let go of it.” --
ELF
“Until
sapphire blue pearl cover the entire planet, Super Junior will continue to
perform.” – Leeteuk
“We
don’t mind if he isn’t there. What we care is, when he comes but we’re not
there.” – Hangeng’s fans
ELF: “If oppas are not on the stage, I’d rather
close my eyes.”
SJ: “If ELF are not under the stage, I’d rather
not stand on the stage.”
“I
will always keep the memory of meeting ELF in my heart even if I die.” – Donghae
“SJ
is SJ: no one can replace it with his own name. SJ can’t compare itself with
the others as well. We are te fixed characters of SJ.
It’s
because the members of SJ is many, everyone are looking when we play with each
other, argue with each other, cry with each other, bear hardships with each
other, but cherish each other as well.
Therefore,
our SJ can survive. It’s because we are members of SJ, we are all together as
ONE.” -- Heechul
To the world,
they are only 13 ordinary men. But to me, these 13 men are my whole world.
Please love them
deeply if you love them, please don’t hurt them if you don’t love them.
(2008.07.27 1000
day-fan meeting)
Leeteuk: ‘How many people do you think SJ should
have?”
ELF: “13!!”
Leeteuk: ‘In the future, no matter what happen, how
many people does SJ have?”
ELF: “13!!!”
Leeteuk: “From now on, no matter 10 or 20 years
later, Super Junior is 13 people forever!”
“Thank
you for following me, such a hyung which is not good enough, whenever I go.” – Leeteuk said to members

people re-gather together once again, just like losing love and found it
again.” – Donghae
ELF: “I love you all forever, how about you?”

Even though SJ
and ELF are getting old, we will still support these 13 people, still listen to
their songs, be with them forever.
“Not
END but AND…” -- Leeteuk
ELF: “you always touch us.”
Donghae: “ELF always give us the feeling of being
touch and love.”
ELF:”Isn’t there’s no such thing as love?”

ELF: “OPPAs send me a reply without honorific
form!”
Sungmin: “Without honorific form…erm… SaRangHae
aRangHae aRangHae.”
ELF: “Thanks for being singers!”
Kyuhyun: “Thanks for being ELF.”
ELF: “Whatever they say, we’re the one to protect
OPPAs!”
Kangin: “Why you have to pledge to protect us? Super
Junior is the one to protect ELF.”
ELF: “SJ has 13 people, from Leeteuk to Kyuhyun.”
Kyuhyun: “SJ has 14 people, from Leeteuk to ELF.”
“If
Super Junior is hindered because of my presence, I’m willing to quit from Super
Junior.” – Shindong
“We
won’t let this happen in the future, even it appens, we won’t separate.” – Kangin
10 or 20 years
later, we’re still ELF, as long as you’re still Super Junior.
Leeteuk: “Super Junior isn’t that kind of group that
will disband after one year, two years, or three years. We will never disbanded
until 10 years 20 years or even 30 years later, until ELF don’t want us
anymore. Will ELF abandon us?”
ELF: “No, it won’t happen forever. We will always
protect Super Junior.”
Without you, I’m
nothing. Because of you, at least I’m ELF.
The world is big.
But for me, these 13 people are worth-loving.
“I’m
the leader of Super Junior forever.” –

“Heechul

“When
I was in hospital, it was a really lonely and difficult time. Kibum would come
every day and sleep in the hospital.. and he’d cry..” – Heechul
“I
will never give up unless I die.” –
Kyuhyun
I want to cry to
make you smile, but you smile to make me cry.
“I
know it’s really hard to be our fans, we never rest, non-stop releasing albums…
if I was one of Super Junior’s fans, I would probably give up. Really want to
thanks my fans. To me, they are as important as the air. Living without air, we
can’t live even just for a minute” –
Leeteuk
We are not as
fortunate as Shinwha.
We don’t have the
better economic environment than DBSK.
We don’t have as
close be with company as SNSD.
We are not as
well liked as SHINee.
We don’t have the
preference given to f(x).
We don’t have
high digital scores like 2AM.
We don’t have the
widness of 2PM.
We don’t get the
good welfare of Wonder Girls.
We don’t have the
sudden popularity of Miss A.
We don’t have the
K-pop fever that Big Bang brought about in Japan
& Korea.
We don’t have
wide selection of costumes like 2NE1.
We are right at
the bottom within the groups from the three big music giants.
What we have, is
nothing but ONLY popularity in the entire Asia!!
“We
Super Junior are not the group which member is better and which member is
worse. The stage loks bright only when 13 people are together.” -- Kangin
“What
I care is only one thing, that is whether SJ can have a good development.” -- Heechul
ELF, please see,
even though wearing old clothes, even though the number is not the complete 13,
even though SJ is not appreciated, but our oppas are still standing on stage to
sing and dance in the name of SJ.
Although treated
unfair, but still in the name of SJ.
Please smile in
silence for them.
“13
of you just need to do your best, ELF will do the rest!” – ELF
“We’re SuJu even if
we develop well. We’re SuJu even if we fail.
We’re SuJu even if
we fight with each other, We’re SuJu even if we hate each other.
We’re SuJu even if
we get married.
We’re SuJu even if
we have many fans. We’re SuJu even if all fans leave.
I can’t quit, and
don’t need to talk more, you can see that we’re becoming better and better.
Let’s last forever.”
– Heechul
“We’re ELF even if we are becoming
stronger. We’re ELF even if SJ fails.
We’re ELF even if we argue with each other. We’re ELF even if we
hate each other.
We’re ELF even if we get married.
We’re ELF even if SJ have many
members compared with other groups.
We’re ELF even if all SJ members
develop separately.
I can’t quit, and don’t need to
talk more, you can see, we’re becoming better amd better.
Let’s last forever together with
Super Junior.” – ELF
