160603 Sing Tao Daily Interview with Ryeowook [4P + Interview]

Korean boy group Super Junior member Ryeowook will be enlisting in the middle of this month, and leave ELF for a period of time. He is in Hong Kong to hold a fansign at Windsor House. What excites and moves everyone the most, is that he works hard speaking Cantonese every time, singing Cantonese song with standard pronunciation. Ryeowook challenges singing Cantonese songs, and he has a little secret in choosing songs.

Super Junior Ryeowook will soon be enlisting on 14 June, and came to gather with ELF before his enlistment. He first went to Macau with his Super Junior members to hold a fanmeet, before coming to Hong Kong to meet Hong Kong fans by himself. He said “Coming to Hong Kong by myself to meet fans, although it is a bit burdensome, but I am also very nervous and moved. Most of all, I want to thank all the fans who came to see me”.

Entering the army life soon, Ryeowook has wondered how it will be like, and at the same time anticipates facing a different circle of people. Ryeowook said: “Although I am not too sure how army life is like, I have thought about it, and do not feel much pressure, as members have returned well after serving. I have been doing activities with Super Junior for 11 years, so I am anticipating how it will be like to live with others.”

Everyone knows Ryeowook’s singing is very good, and his singing of Cantonese song 命硬 received even more applause from fans. Asked him which Cantonese song he wants to challenge in future? Ryeowook: “There are many good Cantonese songs, so I want to challenge singing them again, but previously, because some Cantonese songs’ lyrics are too fast, I gave up on singing some. This is a secret!” Ryeowook said that to challenge even harder Cantonese songs, he will listen to more Cantonese songs. He said that Hong Kong singers are very popular in Korea, and he especially likes Jacky Cheung, whom he saw often in his textbooks when he was young.

Since Ryeowook can speak Cantonese, will he know the meanings of recent Hong Kong catchphrases such as 離地 and 偽毒? Ryeowook: “I don’t know Hong Kong catchphrases; the Cantonese phrases I am most familiar with are ‘Hong Kong ELF are the prettiest’ and ‘I am here because of everyone’” Ryeowook is unfamiliar with Hong Kong catchphrases, but of course knows Korean catchphrases like the back of his hand. He said “In Korea, if one sees something strange or something has happened, the expression ‘Daebak’ will be used. I have seen fans using it, and I find that very funny!”.

Mentioning giraffes that Ryeowook loves, we asked him if he is attracted to women with long necks. He said: “I am a member who experienced my 10s, 20s and 30s in Super Junior, so my ideal dream girl changes often. What is most important is matching well with me, no matter how pretty if her personality is not good, I will not like her.” Appearance is not important to Ryeowook.

Ryeowook released his solo album The Little Prince this year, He read the story many times, and likes the main character The Little Prince very much, and even watched the movie. His solo album is derived from The Little prince. He said “The Little Prince is also the main song, I am very happy, everyone is my precious rose”.

Ryeowook mentioned the unforgettable process of releasing solo album for the first time, especially the support from members. “Every time I receive a song for the solo album, I will play it for the members, and Kyuhyun especially complimented me for collecting many good works, Leeteuk hyung applauded me praising my good singing. Yesung hyung personally went to the recording studio to cheer me on. When members take care of me, I will be in a very good mood, and feel that I need to do even better”.

Everyone’s support is very important to Ryeowook. Although it is hard (to watch him go), everyone can leave many messages online to support him. Ryeowook: “I am diligently reading SNS posts from fans. Nice photos or messages will give me a lot of strength, so the more fans leave good messages, the more strength I will receive!”.
