"I am a Barça fan, always have been, and I want this to work. I want to get across that we have to give 100% and that we cannot let the fans down."

- Xavi Hernandez

"I am still a ticket holder. I love football and FC Barcelona [...] I always had a good relationship with Barcelona fans. They always supported me over the years when I was a player."

“If you can’t accept all 15 members then what kind of ELF are you?” 

-Space Big Star, Kim Heechul

As of the moment the hashtag “SungminOut” is the number 1 trending topic in Seoul on twitter. Most tweets were about Sungmin “neglecting” or “ignoring” fans in preparation for his wedding, and (some, I repeat, some) K-ELFs disregarding international ELFs’ opinions and concerns.

One really bothered me which stated:

“For you who don't know anything but you have accused k-elf. If u hate kelf = you are not elf”

ELF, from what I know by heart, is for Super Junior. And with its meaning it made all of us, as well, as friends/family who will stick with each other forever supporting Super Junior.

For Sungmin’s case... Please remember that Sungmin is also human. Deep inside he longs for a family of his own, just like most of us wishes in our future. He wishes to be happy. He wishes his wife to be happy. As ELFs or as his friends or as his family, we should understand his decisions and be happy for him for he found a person that will love him and care for him for the rest of his life and will provide beautiful children for him. He may have remained silent to keep even a bit of privacy for him and his wife. He had planned to announce it himself (as some say in articles), it just so happened the media was (rude enough) to announce it first. Sungmin only fell in love... When was loving someone a bad thing and a hindrance to ones future?

He promised to ‘work harder’ in his next activities... How will he be able to show this if people prevents him to do so? How will he prove himself? How will he make-it-up to the people he ‘hurt’? 

Super Junior has come a looooong way. With almost every year having issues of a member being kicked out by “fans”, Super Junior still firmly stood with 10 members but having a heart of 15. It’s been a decade, aren’t y’all tired of the internal wars in the fandom?

Let us just support our boys and love them forever, just like what we promised them. 13elieve in 15ever.
