DONGHAE IS A CRYBABY
(from a radio show)
Yunho: Donghae has been a crybaby since he was little; he can really cry.
Junsu: He cries almost every day.
Yunho: Yeah!
Junsu: I can tease him into crying every day, haha…
Yunho: He really loves crying. His heart is especially soft, so I really worry about him. But now he’s grown up a lot, and has gotten a lot stronger, haha. Moreover, he’s always been a very loyal, very attractive guy! Donghae-yah, what do you think, hyung’s good to you, right?
--
(from a radio show)
Donghae: When I’m talking to my mom on the phone, I often cry. I’ve also cried a lot because of things to do with my girlfriend… I really am the kind of person with a lot of tears. But now I’m already 21, so I really want to suppress my tears and not cry anymore. But I really am the kind of person with a lot of tears… In the past, my third year of junior high, when I first entered SM for training, Eunhyuk and Junsu, those two…
Eunhyuk: Hahahaha.
Donghae: I came into the company after those two, and that was right when they had put me in a group (O-KAY). Eunhyuk and Junsu told me, “Now that you’re in a group, your personality will change.” They kept joking with me like this, that time when I was a third year in junior high… Those two kept saying that to me, deliberately trying to make me cry…
MC: And then you actually cried?
Donghae: Yeah…
Eunhyuk: Junsu and I first talked about it like, “How can we make Donghae cry today?” After we discussed the method, we went and teased him, told him he had changed recently…
MC: Ah, you guys were awful…
Eunhyuk: “After you were put in this group, you’ve changed so much.” After we kept saying that to tease him, he finally ran into the bathroom—
MC: And cried?
Eunhyuk: Yep, and he also punched the door, sobbing. Haha…
Donghae: Because, going to Seoul, that was my first time making friends my own age, and they actually said that kind of thing to me…I thought it was real.
MC: But if it were me, I wouldn’t have thought it was real.
--
(from a radio show)
MC: Donghae, have you cried since Super Junior debuted?
Donghae: Of course. That last time when we won number one.
MC: That doesn’t count, that was because you were so happy that you cried. Have you cried because of bad times, such as when you’re exhausted from too much practice, or that kind of thing?
Donghae: No, I really don’t think so…
Leeteuk: Oh, there was once. When we were doing Twins, you know how in the middle of the song there’s a dance break? Well, that part was for Han Geng, Eunhyuk, and Donghae to each perform their own individual dances. When Donghae was choreographing that part, he cried.
Donghae: Ah, right, I forgot.
Leeteuk: He was really depressed, and ran to my lap and cried.
Ryeowook: Really?
Donghae: Eunhyuk, Shindong-hyung, Hankyung-hyung, they all dance really well, and everyone’s style was different. Plus the music in that section was rather unique, so when I was choreographing my section, it was really pretty hard. First I was practicing on the third floor, then I went to the basement. But in the end I still couldn’t make up dance steps that I was satisfied with, and we had to perform the next day. I didn’t know want to do…
MC: You wanted to come up with an amazing dance, right?
Leeteuk: Right.
Donghae: But no matter how I danced, I wasn’t satisfied. I always felt that there was a better movement than that one, and my dancing isn’t that outstanding to start with…
Ryeowook: Don’t say that.
Donghae: Everyone has their limits. Even if I wanted to learn more, there wasn’t any time. So in the end I…I could only run to Leeteuk-hyung, feeling wronged, and cry in his lap.
THE THINGS DONGHAE WANTS TO SAY TO THE OTHER MEMBERS
TN: No Kyuhyun yet.
At the end of 2005, when Super Junior just debuted, Donghae used his own words to express his gratitude and love to each member:
Recently, when the twelve members are together, although Kibum hasn’t been with us long, but when the twelve members are on stage together, I feel so happy. Me, Donghae! Because the twelve members can be together, that’s why my mood is so good. And the fans must also be very happy!
The recent weather has been cold, so I’ve been really worried about members getting sick. Everyone needs to stay healthy! It’d be great if I could be with all the members every day. Everyone’s schedule has some solitary activities, so whenever we do something as a group without them, it feels as if they’re missing. But if there are only eleven or ten members together, it’s still all right! Even though we’re physically apart, we will always be together in our hearts no matter what…because none of us want to be apart, we only want to always be together!
Especially Siwon who is in China, which is even colder than Korea, filming a movie. I think he must be working too hard; even if he says he’s fine, in his heart, he must be really missing everyone else. But Siwon is stronger than anyone, so he shouldn’t worry like that. We all believe in you, Siwonnie!
Kibum is also apart from us because of his individual schedule, and whenever I talk to him on the phone or through text messages, I always feel a little…regretful. Even though I feel bad, I really love Kibum, Kibum who is both my little brother and my friend at the same time. I love you! Please show us everything you’ve got!
Our Leeteuk-hyung! Hyung with the tender heart! Though he sometimes gets depressed, whenever we see him struggling like that, we really feel like there’s no one tougher! Fighting! I’ve always be so thankful to you, hyung!
And if we’re talking about strength, there’s also our Kangin-hyung! He’s always taken good care of his dongsaengs, our Kangin-hyung who looks tough on the outside but is actually really tender on the inside! My heart will always look forward for your success!
Funny Shindong-hyung, he’s really tolerant and also really understands people! Next time I’ll treat you to delicious bulgolgi, haha. You’re happy, right?
My good friend Eunhyuk! Eunhyuk-ah, I don’t have to say anything and you’ll understand! I mean, that phrase “I love you!”
Sweet pumpkin Sungmin-hyung! Hardworking and kind-hearted Sungmin-hyung! Oh, I really want to eat the pumpkin you cook!
Yesung-hyung with the charismatic voice! Whoever listens to you sing will think it’s beautiful! In the future, you have to bring that charismatic voice to even more people!
The second-to-none amazing master cook, Hankyung-hyung! Thank you for cooking every night! Watching you work that hard, I really feel apologetic…
And the most unique, Heechul-hyung! Because you always have such a busy schedule, you’re always exhausted, but thank you for letting us see your hard-working example!
Ryeowook-ah! Do you like hyung? Thank you! Let us see your unstopping hard work, okay?
Today I wanted to write about the members! Even though we’re together right now, when we’re apart, I’ll be very lonely. But actually my heart will always be together with the members, forever…
I love you, Super Junior! And I also love Super Junior’s fans, I love you!
DONGHAE'S FATHER'S LAST LETTER TO DONGHAE
(from mid-2006, I think)
I cried when I read that letter in Chinese the first time. I cried again when I was reading it to translate it. I'm sorry to say I don't know the source; it came in my fanbook but I have no idea where the fans got it. I'm translating Teukie's 50 questions next and he also has a letter from his dad in the fanbook, which I'll probably also translate. The fans got that letter off Teukie's Cyworld though.
So, that's all for now! :D Hope your Hae love increased at least a little. Or a lot! ♥

THE THINGS DONGHAE WANTS TO SAY TO THE OTHER MEMBERS
TN: No Kyuhyun yet.
At the end of 2005, when Super Junior just debuted, Donghae used his own words to express his gratitude and love to each member:
Recently, when the twelve members are together, although Kibum hasn’t been with us long, but when the twelve members are on stage together, I feel so happy. Me, Donghae! Because the twelve members can be together, that’s why my mood is so good. And the fans must also be very happy!
The recent weather has been cold, so I’ve been really worried about members getting sick. Everyone needs to stay healthy! It’d be great if I could be with all the members every day. Everyone’s schedule has some solitary activities, so whenever we do something as a group without them, it feels as if they’re missing. But if there are only eleven or ten members together, it’s still all right! Even though we’re physically apart, we will always be together in our hearts no matter what…because none of us want to be apart, we only want to always be together!
Especially Siwon who is in China, which is even colder than Korea, filming a movie. I think he must be working too hard; even if he says he’s fine, in his heart, he must be really missing everyone else. But Siwon is stronger than anyone, so he shouldn’t worry like that. We all believe in you, Siwonnie!
Kibum is also apart from us because of his individual schedule, and whenever I talk to him on the phone or through text messages, I always feel a little…regretful. Even though I feel bad, I really love Kibum, Kibum who is both my little brother and my friend at the same time. I love you! Please show us everything you’ve got!
Our Leeteuk-hyung! Hyung with the tender heart! Though he sometimes gets depressed, whenever we see him struggling like that, we really feel like there’s no one tougher! Fighting! I’ve always be so thankful to you, hyung!
And if we’re talking about strength, there’s also our Kangin-hyung! He’s always taken good care of his dongsaengs, our Kangin-hyung who looks tough on the outside but is actually really tender on the inside! My heart will always look forward for your success!
Funny Shindong-hyung, he’s really tolerant and also really understands people! Next time I’ll treat you to delicious bulgolgi, haha. You’re happy, right?
My good friend Eunhyuk! Eunhyuk-ah, I don’t have to say anything and you’ll understand! I mean, that phrase “I love you!”
Sweet pumpkin Sungmin-hyung! Hardworking and kind-hearted Sungmin-hyung! Oh, I really want to eat the pumpkin you cook!
Yesung-hyung with the charismatic voice! Whoever listens to you sing will think it’s beautiful! In the future, you have to bring that charismatic voice to even more people!
The second-to-none amazing master cook, Hankyung-hyung! Thank you for cooking every night! Watching you work that hard, I really feel apologetic…
And the most unique, Heechul-hyung! Because you always have such a busy schedule, you’re always exhausted, but thank you for letting us see your hard-working example!
Ryeowook-ah! Do you like hyung? Thank you! Let us see your unstopping hard work, okay?
Today I wanted to write about the members! Even though we’re together right now, when we’re apart, I’ll be very lonely. But actually my heart will always be together with the members, forever…
I love you, Super Junior! And I also love Super Junior’s fans, I love you!
DONGHAE'S FATHER'S LAST LETTER TO DONGHAE
(from mid-2006, I think)
Donghae-yah, my son Donghae-yah, my beloved son Donghae-yah!
Dad is so blessed because you are my son, and you’ve already become a singer.
I’m really so fortunate. You’ve often told me on the phone: “Have been well recently? Are you healthy?”…and also, “I’m sorry. I love you.”
Donghae, when Dad sees you on TV, he can’t help but to put his hand over his heart. It’s probably because Dad loves our Donghae too much.
Donghae, let me tell you, Dad used to dream about becoming a singer, but your grandfather was completely opposed, so I left my dream in Seoul and I brought your mom back to Mokpo. Then we had your brother Donghwa, and then we had you. I was so happy! You and Donghwa were both my sons, I was so thankful to God.
When you were in junior high, you told me you wanted to be a singer. Back then you were still half-studying, half-playing, but when you told me you wanted to be a singer, my heart leaped, my feelings were stirred. I pressed the money into your hand and said, “Go to Seoul.”
After you went to Seoul, your mom and I often prayed. There were a lot of tears, too, just like my son Donghae. My Donghae will surely succeed! If my Donghae was defeated, his heart would surely be hurt, so we prayed and prayed and still prayed… Then you became qualified. Oh we were so happy then: Dad was so proud of you, so, so proud. From then on our Donghae left to live in Seoul, and I was torn between being extremely happy and extremely sad.
Despite this, I still believed in my son Donghae as I did before, because you were so full of bravery and determination. And just like that, a few years later, you really did become a singer.
The first time you won number one, you still took the time to worry about me. That day, you called me and said, “Dad, I don’t cry anymore. I’ve resolved no to cry anymore: my fans are watching. Have I done well? On this earth, I love Dad the most. And my favorite color is the color of the ocean…”
When I watch our Donghae on TV, I thought of my own dream when I was young. Oh my beloved Donghae!
When my Donghae wins the newcomer award, Dad won’t be able to see it. I won’t be able to see your bride, I won’t be able to see my cute grandchildren…
But as long as it’s what our Donghae believes in, then it will be the best. And I’ll protect all of you from heaven, and become the strength at your back. And my Donghae’s next generation will also be so blessed…
My son Donghae-yah! I love you.
Love you!
I cried when I read that letter in Chinese the first time. I cried again when I was reading it to translate it. I'm sorry to say I don't know the source; it came in my fanbook but I have no idea where the fans got it. I'm translating Teukie's 50 questions next and he also has a letter from his dad in the fanbook, which I'll probably also translate. The fans got that letter off Teukie's Cyworld though.
So, that's all for now! :D Hope your Hae love increased at least a little. Or a lot! ♥
