Eunhyuk of Super Junior confessed that he was classmates with actor Jeon Somin in elementary school.
MBC's entertainment show "Radio Star," which aired on the 27th, released a special episode of "SJ, At Least You Didn't Fight," featuring Leeteuk, Heechul, Yesung, and Eunhyuk as guests.
On this day, Eunhyuk spoke about his past when he debuted as the youngest idol before his debut as Super Junior.
"I've been preparing (to become an idol) since I was in 6th grade," he said. "Before entering SM Entertainment, I had friends including Kim Junsu. As the four of us were preparing (for the debut), we decided on the team name "S.R.D.," which stands for Song, Rap, and Dance."
"I sang songs, recorded songs, and performed every weekend in Ilsan," he said. "A newspaper later said it wanted to cover our performances. At that time, I was in the newspapers, as an idol who would lead the 21st century."
However, he had to stop his activities due to the declining situation of the company. "I ended up joining SM," Eunhyuk said. "At that time, I was really popular in my neighborhood. One of my elementary school classmates was Jeon Somin, and she liked me a bit."
He added, "We would also have popularity votes among ourselves."
In fact, Eunhyuk and Jeon Somin talked about the topic on SBS entertainment show Running Man, which aired in 2017. Jeon Somin said, "Eunhyuk was popular at school," but drew the line and said she had never actually liked Eunhyuk.
