The upcoming ‘Super Show 9’ will be carried out with 8-members: Leeteuk, Yesung, Shindong, Eunhyuk, Donghae, Siwon, Ryeowook, and Kyuhyun. Heechul will of course participate in Super Junior’s 9th full album, its related contents, as well as in Super Junior’s variety appearances; however, after a lengthy discussion with the members, we’ve come to the decision that Heechul will not take part in ‘Super Show 8’ or any of Super Junior’s comeback album music show promotions.
Currently, Heechul still faces challenges performing on stage due to the condition of his legs, and so we ask fans for your warm understanding in this unfortunate decision.
Thank you.”
