Early last night, we broke the news that Super Junior member Sungmin was in a relationship with actress Kim Sa Eun. SM Entertainment soon quickly followed with a confirmation.

Now, fellow member Heechul has spoken up about the relationship!

In a message to fans, he asks them to please support Sungmin in his decision to be happy, and that all the members will be supporting each other and working hard to continue to make ELFs happy!

Check out the post below.

He’s not my younger sibling by blood.. but my younger brother, Sungmin. He’s still in my phone under the name, “Sweet Pumpkin”. There’s lines like, “Cook a lot of sweet pumpkins ~ because I stuffed myself with it all ^-^”.. I had forgotten kekekeke Sungmin, who is always quiet and never causes trouble, was especially busy today.. ^-^ There is something I always say, “Hey, you can’t hit Sungmin, even with a flower”. That’s right. You can’t hit Sungmin with a flower, or even with my face (It’s a flower. Of course, of course). 

Have I been too over the top during these promotions? I don’t know if I have been, but.. All of our members have a hard time, but they grew while leaning on each other and enjoying it. They will in the future, too. That’s why, let’s all hold hands and get along for a long time like oppa, dongsaeng, unnie and noon!! I hate cheesy words the most, but our Sungmin.. the Sungmin who never cried.. said, “Hyung.. I’m sorry.. to the fans, too.. to the members, too..” which upset me, so I’m like this.. The path Sweet Pumpkin is going on might not be the Silk Road, but let’s not make it a thorny path~ I love you, my children!! Although I’m the Heechul, who can’t make a proper heart TT bbuing bbuing. 

a/n - im so happy for sungmin, but i didnt think he would be the first out of sj xD
