Super Junior‘s Eunhyuk overcomes ‘retirement crisis’ and successfully completes solo debut activities

Super Junior’s Eunhyuk successfully completed his solo debut and activities 20 years after his debut.

Eunhyuk finished his promotions for his first mini-album ‘EXPLORER’ and the title track ‘UP N DOWN’ with his performance on MBC‘s ‘Show! Music Core’ on the 8th.

Through his first solo album, Eunhyuk dominated the stage with his styling that contained 90s hip-hop sensibility and his splendid performance. He added to the fun of listening to his live performances with his delicate vocals and rhythmic rapping that were exquisitely combined.

Eunhyuk especially proved his limitless potential as a solo artist by taking home the first place trophy on KBS 2TV’s ‘Music Bank’. He also overcame an unexpected retirement crisis(?). In a pre-Music Bank interview, Eunhyuk made a bombshell promise, saying, “If I get first place, I‘ll retire.” After actually getting first place, he expressed his gratitude through SNS and said, “It was such a meaningful and happy day. I thank you all. Can I cancel my retirement?”, causing laughter.

Eunhyuk, who successfully completed his comeback promotions, said, “Releasing my first solo album in 20 years was very meaningful to me. Every moment while preparing and promoting this album were such happy days for me, and it was like a gift.” “Actually, I prepared this album with the hope that it would be a meaningful gift to the fans, but I feel like I received an even bigger gift, so I’m so grateful.”

He continued, “Following my solo promotions, I hope that Super Junior‘s 20th anniversary album this year will receive positive influence and momentum and be able to create happy memories with the fans. I would like to thank everyone who loved and supported my album once again, and if I have the chance, I will greet you again with better music and performance next time,” he said.

Eunhyuk, who boasted a limitless musical spectrum through his first mini-album ‘EXPLORER’, which contained his musical exploration, plans to continue communicating with fans through various activities.
