You know things are bad when Siwon starts swearing on Twitter.
It seems as if 2011 is a year of lasts for Super Junior; it’s rumored that the group will go on hiatus after the completion of their Super Show 4 tour in 2012, at which time the members of Super Junior will gradually start their mandatory military service. Unfortunately, 2011 was also not the most illustrious year for Super Junior — their last album utterly failed to impress, their music videos were barely second-rate, and it honestly seemed as if SM was intent on pushing Super Junior into a premature retirement.
With that in mind, it wasn’t too surprising to see SM’s latest slip-up with Super Junior during last night’s SBS Gayo Daejun. Long story short, Super Junior had to pre-record their performance for the show, but ELFs were never notified of the pre-recording, which led to Super Junior performing in front of an audience of non-ELFs. Evidently, Leeteuk was trying to rally up the people that were sitting in the audience (most of whom were not Super Junior fans) to cheer during their performance anyway, but it just wasn’t the same.
I know, I know — what a first world problem, right? As expected, ELF was pretty angry about this in their usual ELF manner, but what was surprising were the reactions from the members’ themselves. And where do K-pop stars go whenever they want to express their passive-aggressive feelings of resentment? Twitter, of course.
Honestly, this isn’t right..shouldn’t everyone have been notified far beforehand? To everyone, I’m sorry~Without ELF, this years-end is meaningless. So frustrated!!!!! Eat food; eat food twice (Eat food = non-vulgar Korean equivalent to f*ck you)
2PM‘s Nichkhun and Taecyeon also felt moved to respond to the event via Twitter, even before the Super Junior members themselves had a chance to post their reactions:
