"WHEN DID IT BECOME ELF PROTECTING SUPER JUNIOR? SUPER JUNIOR SHOULD PROTECT ELF!" 

I keep on reading posts of some ELF, stating how happy they were that after 6 years, Super Junior has finally learned how to stand up for themselves.

To be honest, I was also proud and happy at first, but looking back at what happened, I realized one thing - Super Junior never really stood up for themselves.

"So even if I’m tired, I have to pretend that everything’s okay…"
-Leeteuk

"Only when no one was noticing me did I secretly cry…"
-Sungmin

"In the end, it still hurts…"
-Heechul

"We talk about it and we may laugh about it, but when I go home I cry."
-Eunhyuk

"It’s hard…"
-Kyuhyun

"I was doing well holding it in. It’s too hard… Really… Truly…"
-Leeteuk

Do something wrong to Super Junior, no matter how big it is, they will feel bad, post a thing or two about it then shrug off their shoulders, let it go and pretend like nothing ever happened.

Yesterday, the most pitiful fans were ELF.
(The statements below are just excerpts from the fan account of rainy527@weibo, translated by fayerielf. Click link to read full article.) 
 

"There was the news of SBS having already recorded Super Junior’s performance and there were only about 10 fans present as no one received any information. Neither the SBS or SM staff released any information."

"The staff ignored us and just said “Just wait here, we’ll tell you later.” but they never told us where we should queue. They even chatted with other artists’ fans until all the other fans have finished queuing then they told us to queue at the back."

"According to SM’s allocation we have 40 spaces less than that fan base with the most seats. Eventually ELF were all separated and were allocated into the little holes with other fan bases."

"They already handed out fan support items like towels, balloons and headbands to other fans except ELF."

"You can say that ELF stood there for 6+ hours and that doesn’t even include the queuing time and we only saw about 8 minutes worth of performances."

"I can see the reaction of the fans from a certain fan base. All pointing at ELF and laughing."

"Because we were all separated, and we don’t have the lighted hairbands, which don’t even needed to be held up, nor the balloons which are easily recognizable nor the official towels and it was so crowded in the “holes” they allocated to us, we can only scream like crazy just hoping that they can see. Even if there were only 1 ELF there she would give them full support."

"When it all ended it was late. But we have not eaten nor drank anything for the whole day. Many ELF were like this. And it was cold outside but there isn’t a train back"

"When I heard the total quietness (no fanchants) clips I really cannot take it and cried myself into a mess."

But do something wrong, even so remotely small, to ELF - and all hell breaks lose!

"If there weren’t ELF then Suju wouldn’t even be able to breathe and wouldn’t even be able to sing." 
-Donghae

“Any way.. you look at it, there isn’t a group more hard-working than us, and there can’t be a group more pitiful than us..damn it! if we’ve done anything wrong, it must be the crime of working too hard, don’t you agree everyone? well just forget it.. what a long day..”
-Siwon

“This year-end doesn’t mean anything without our ELF… so frustrated!!!!!! Eat food, eat food twice.” 
-Eunhyuk

“Eat thrice~^^ kekeke,” 
-Leeteuk

“Keep eating.”
-Siwon

(‘Eat food’ also translates to f.uck you)

And you will know that things are actually truly bad when even Siwon started cursing.

Without even thinking about their reputation, without even thinking about what other people might think or say about them, without even thinking about the consequences of their action - Super Junior stood up. But they didn’t stand up for themselves.

Super Junior stood up to protect their ELF.

Some people say it is over reacting, rude and immature. But who are they to speak? They just read the posts and comment on it. The truth is, they never really know anything at all.

"This isn’t right… They should’ve put up notices beforehand, no? I’ll apologize on behalf of them~”
-Leeteuk

"Sorry ELF~"
-Donghae

And why should Super Junior apologize for something that wasn’t even their fault?

Since the beginning, it has always been Super Junior and ELF, ELF and Super Junior. And though sometimes Super Junior and ELF go together with DBSK and Cassies and/or SHINee and Shawols, and/or other fandoms but at the end of the day, it is still just us - Super Junior and ELF.

US IS ALL WE HAVE.

Can you blame us for wanting to protect each other? Can you blame us for reacting and fighting back when others hurt those whom we love and treasure the most?

I bet you don’t even understand why we are part of this Sapphire Blue Ocean.

Because Super Junior is the most goodlooking? Biasness aside, there are other idols who are far better looking than they are. Talented? Other groups can also do the things that Super Junior can do, maybe even more, maybe even better. Because they are the best? Well, now we all know that that’s not really true.

So why?

"When no one acknowledged us, when no one helped us. To the best fan club that made us feel the ‘mightiness’. Our ELF, I sincerely thank you again."
-Leeteuk

"I love you, ELF!"
-Donghae

"ELF, who stood by us even though we are still lacking."
-Sungmin

"We couldn’t receive this award if not for ELF."
-Leeteuk

"Thank you all 40 thousand ELF! Let’s rock again tomorrow."
-Yesung

"Thank you for being ELF!"
-Kyuhyun

"We are nothing without ELF."
-Leeteuk

ELF: Is there such thing called love?
Leeteuk: Then what are we made of?

THIS IS WHY.

For all the years that I have been a part of this fandom, never, ever did they make me feel that I am just a mere fan. What they always made me feel is that 'I am an ELF' - the Ever Lasting FRIEND of Super Junior.

Maybe for other people, Super Junior is just another K-Pop group. But if they just look a little closer, then will they realize that Super Junior is much more than that…

So why am I an ELF?

"In the end, all the performers left the stage except Super Junior. Only Super Junior bowed down to all directions. Leeteuk, Hyukjae, Sungmin, Shindong and Ryeowook all came to bow and shake hands with people. My tears almost fell and all these is worth it. They understand us and their hearts hurt for us. Their gazes as they did their bows and handshakes cannot lie."

I am an ELF.
Because that choice would never be wrong.

I am an ELF. 
Because Super Junior is all worth it.

I am an ELF. 
Because being an ELF is such an honor.
