A big happy birthday to our one and only, poison tongue, Eternal Maknae, Ryeowookie!

I can't believe this cutie-overload is 30! It just isn't possible ...

His debut was now 12 years ago .. I can't believe how fast time has passed by, and how he went from an 18 year old teen to a 30 year old, cute (and y ahem), man.

His life has really been circling around Super Junior.

It's been 12 tough years hasn't it? I'm sorry that ELF hasn't been so supporting towards you even though you play a just an important part as all the other members in the group. Sadly, it has been the harsh truth to you hasn't it love? You've known very well that you're not popular in the group by saying "I'm not as popular as the others" to even making a wish on Kim Gura's chin that other people laughed of, "Make me popular", while you were serious .. Seeing you like that has always broken my heart. The fact that you were driven as far as to delete your twitter account saddens my heart profoundly. I cannot imagine the pain you must've felt with all the hate that surrounded you.

You've always loved and protected Super Junior, always taken care of all the members. Always smiling on stage. Protected the name of Super Junior by always apologizing, for either yourself or other members' flaws. I feel almost bad that I smile when you smile, because I feel that I, as an ELF, do not deserve this deep love you have for us. But you are loved by many. I promise you. And just as much as you love and take care of Super Junior .. We love and take care of Super Junior. Thank you for being our eternal Maknae. We need you, your magnificent voice, your wonderful personality, your cute, yet y face. We need your love. 

Happy birthday, my dearest, Kim Ryeowook.

Please take care of yourself in the army and come back healthy, my handsome soldier!
