Super Junior's Shindong expresses disappointment over 'unannounced departure'... "I found out by reading the article."
Super Junior's Shindong conveyed his feelings of being wronged and upset over his consecutive 'unannounced departures,' eliciting sympathy from fans.
On the 3rd, in the MBC show 'Radio Star,' Seo Jang-hoon, Shin Gi-ru, Shindong, and Na Seon-wook appeared for a special segment titled 'All Chunky Project.' On that day, MC Kim Gu-ra commented on Shindong, saying, "Personally, I'm an original member of 'The Great Escape,' but Shindong couldn't go all the way even though he has a great sense of humor," expressing his disappointment.
In response, Seo Jang-hoon lightly chided, saying, "Why poke at the sore spot?" but Shindong soon revealed his true feelings. He said, "It's strange that no one talks to me when I'm dropped from 'Radio Star' and 'The Great Escape.' I found out by reading the article that Kim Guk-jin would take my place, and that's when I realized it," expressing his disappointment.
Kim Gu-ra said, "Forget about what happened 17 years ago," but Shindong lamented, "The problem is that it keeps happening." He added, "Back in the early days of 'Radio Star,' the recording time was less than 5 minutes, which is why the greeting was accompanied by 'please,'" recalling memories as an original member. To this, Kim Gu-ra remarked, "Actually, it feels like our 'Radio Star' is a discontinued model. We were original members, but no one remembers us," making a blunt joke that elicited laughter.
Immediately after the broadcast, condolences and support for Shindong poured in on online communities and social media. "No matter how long ago it was, it's too much to leave without notification. I'm upset too," said one, while another noted, "I remember that he was an original member; it was more fun because of Shindong." "He was truly someone who worked hard, and it's disappointing how he's treated. I hope he shines in a better position in the future," another response echoed, empathizing with his heartfelt expression.
Meanwhile, Shindong is currently active in various fields including not only entertainment but also as a music video director and creator, showcasing his versatility as an 'all-round entertainer.'
