Article: 'Come to Play' Eunhyuk reveals thoughts on first broadcast "Why did I have to join at a time like this..."
Source: Newsen via Nate
Eunhyuk kind of/sort of mentioned his scandal with IU on the show and MCs pressed him for more answers but he left it ambiguous.
1. [+261, -116] If you think about it, Eunhyuk's the nice guy. Whether it was a mistake or not, it was IU that uploaded the picture so why's Eunhyuk even receiving hate?
2. [+265, -127] He shouldn't have even brought it up if he's not going to talk about everything or clarify anything. Did he intend to use it as a gag or to bring up viewer ratings? People are always telling half the story and leaving it at that.
3. [+215, -106] Honestly, I feel bad for him
4. [+54, -20] Anchovy's the victim here... IU's the one that uploaded the photo. He got attacked for doing nothing ㅡㅡ
5. [+44, -25] The double standards are hilarious. IU or anyone around her has never once mentioned the scandal since it happened, but Eunhyuk and his show hosts are joking about it on TV. This is the reality of our country. A male and female will get into a scandal with very different results. Everyone around the male will ask how it was or if he liked it and laugh it off, but for the female, she has to endure awkward silences, gossips, rumors, people talking behind her back and calling her a slut. Such a bitter reality, isn't it? They both had consenting sex and they both enjoyed it, so why treat them differently?

lol the comments section turn into fans vs fans, fans vs normal netizens ㅋㅋㅋ everyone trying to prove that their artist are the pity one or the right one >.<
ReplyDeletelol had fun reading it ^^
"1. [+261, -116] If you think about it, Eunhyuk's the nice guy. Whether it was a mistake or not, it was IU that uploaded the picture so why's Eunhyuk even receiving hate?"
ReplyDeleteWhat the fuck is wrong with those people? Do they think IU chose to upload the picture? It was a mistake on her part, but Eunhyuk wasn't forced to take the pic with IU after they had sex (or w/e), was he? Or maybe IU tricked him by doing innocent aegyo and she raped Eunhyuk?? urgh.
The last comment is the best. Especially the last phrase.
Ah seriously, I'm so pissed :'|
as long as you feel bad for IU too then there's no problem feeling bad for eunhyuk. if it's just one then that's wrong. there shouldn't be a 'scandal' if you dont want to involve eunhyuk. the reason those stupid netizens hate on IU is cause she supposedly had sex with him, so how can eunhyuk be at no 'fault'. it took 2 to fuck. IU's a victim of yall's prudeness.
ReplyDeleteIf it was the other way around and he posted the pic, then I'm pretty sure Eunhyuk would be bashed like crazy for destroying IU's image and everyone would call him a jerk or something.
ReplyDeleteBut I don't think he deserves to be criticized since we all know that IU posted the picture and automatically dragged Eunhyuk into all that mess.
seems like netizens supports eunhyuk.
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of happy that they are not bashing him.
and wasn't it Yoo Jaesuk who indirectly brought the scandal? Allkpop says like that. :/
I believe that ysj would never bring up uncomfortable questions.. he even said that in an interview.
Deletemaybe because some people thinks its not even a sex scandal and eunhyuk got brought into it for no reason. Just because IU accidentally posted the pic. Honestly, from the picture they could be really be just close friend too.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I don't see any hate comments about IU too. What double standard are they talking about?
ReplyDeleteAll I see are just perverted comments towards IU which are made by her own ajjhushi fans.
nope. people that watch the show said Eunhyuk is the one that brought this thing first...
ReplyDelete5th comment ftw
ReplyDeletelmao are you joking, just go into any iu articles netizenbuzz has translated. full of hate.
ReplyDeleteYes I agree a lot of double standards do exist no question but at the end of everything IU uploaded it. She was the one who brought it out not eunhyuk. If Eunhyuk uploaded it than he would prob get bashed as well.....
ReplyDeleteEunhyuk is the best, he's f*cking 16 year old girls, dude is a pro.
ReplyDeleteIU has all the fault in this scandal.
The 5th comment should be the 1st.
ReplyDeleteIU is at fault for uploading the picture...
ReplyDeleteBut Eunhyuk is to blame for IU's suffering. He was also in the picture. He actively took part in a relationship with IU. Instead of trying to protect her, as a proper boyfriend should, he's letting her take all the heat.
Some people are forgetting that it takes TWO to tango.
Thank u!! My thoughts exactly!

ReplyDelete100% agree with this.
Eunhyuk was the one that brought the scandal in the show, IDK if he wants more attention or more "aww poor oppa" from the fans.
ReplyDeleteHe's like a hero for many dudes out there and she's like a horny fake innocent girl.
ReplyDeletei thought eun ji won left the show and jay park joined?
ReplyDeleteeveryone keeps saying how eunhyuk should take the blame and stand up for IU but how do you suppose he'd do that when he's under SM? i'm pretty sure as her boyfriend (or ex w/e), he would be at her side at a time like this if he had the power to. he is nothing more than SM's puppet so even if he wanted to protect IU, if SM forbid him to get involved, he'd have to oblige.
ReplyDeleteim not a super junior fan but i've seen one or two of their shows and i remember that one time super junior played a prank on him and were pretending to fight and eunhyuk tried to break it up and eventually ended up crying. i don't think he's the type to just stand by while his friends got hurt.
Deletesme loves to be in control but it seems that sme let SuJu to deal with it - either way they would't let questions, insinuations (as IU's company does)
It is up to Eunhyuk to answer back or not... he choose to keep his mouth shut... whatever he will say it won't affect only him but the other members too
Are you a Umechan fan?? :OOO
ReplyDeleteIU raped Eunhyuk with a strap on
ReplyDeletethere's also the possiblity that they broke up already
ReplyDeletescored for that..
ReplyDeletei dont think it is double standards for this situation, if you think about it.. iu honestly is the reason for this "scandal" because the photo was uploaded on her twitter.
ReplyDeleteYes, IU made a mistake with her inept technological skills. But if that's the reason that people are blaming her and not Eunhyuk, then why are there more comments about how IU's a slut and how she has a false image than comments criticizing her lack of technological skill? The hate obviously isn't about IU's stupidity but about how she's been hiding her true character; it's not about the act of uploading the photo, but about what happened before they took the photo. How can anyone say that this ISN'T a double standard if IU's taking the brunt of the criticism for having sex with Eunhyuk? Personally, I don't think either of them deserve to be hated, but it's ridiculous that people are denying the double standards.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't matter. Whether they're together or not, he should respect her as an adult/colleague/friend and take responsibility for what HE also did.
ReplyDeleteEven if they did break up, whether it was amicable or not, what kind of man lets a woman suffer? The things IU are being called are really horrible, while he gets away scott-free being seen as a victim.
And a victim of WHAT? What exactly is he a victim of?
Take responsibility? "yeah I fucked my legal girlfriend, I'm sorry for not posting up the picture"
ReplyDeleteWhat did he do wrong? If it wasnt for someone else's mistake, none of this shit would've happened and that's the thing here. Iu is the one who posted it, she's the one with the innocent image, she's the one who said she never kissed before. Im a SJ fan but not a fan of Eunhyuk in particular. Everyone already knows of his playful image. Heechul had said before that Eunhyuk is the type who is never at the dorms even until late at night. His image wasn't holy Mary like IUs.
honestly don't think he did anything wrong enough to the point of getting hated. The only dumb ones saying he fcked an underage girl is all assumptions made by people who want to see him suffer. The picture is recent and IU is legal and so Eunhyuk can go ahead and hit it if he wants. Ahjusshis can cry all they want.
APPLAUSE FOR COMMENT NO.5 /end.
ReplyDeleteEunhyuk will forever be a creep in my eyes for getting with an underage star (considering the evidence of WHEN the relationship started)... I wonder what other young star he's sleeping with rn...
ReplyDeleteactually no ! the female MC was the one to bring the subject, the same thing happened during Star King and Hello, Eunhyuk didn't say anything, he was keeping a low profile, but the MCs made allusion so what choice did he have ? he chose to laugh about it rather than getting angry which is understable since he is just a rookie amongst them !
ReplyDeletepeople don't understand that Eunhyuk can't protect her since their both agencies already made a statement about this scandal ! plus trying to protect her will only have the opposite effect ! it will bring more haters.
ReplyDeletehim and IU need to stay quiet and maybe it would be easier for them if the MCs stop making allusions about this scandal but somehow they are trying to help them because if it becomes a joke in the industry, it will make the scandal less important.
actually not it was the female MC
ReplyDeleteAgree.
ReplyDeleteif eunhyuk uploaded the pic we wont be even talking about double standard
ReplyDeletebut because Iu uploaded it now they are talking about double standardor
but only need ONE to press the self destruct button :D
ReplyDeleteLove the questionmark in the article title - as if the answer to the question isn't blindingly obvious.
ReplyDeleteIts also a double standard to expect him to clean up the mess she caused. Posting a picture of someone without their permission, in the US could lead to a suit if the person does not want their picture uploaded. He is not to blame for her suffering, it was her mistake. If me and you were to take an incriminating picture and you got into trouble for uploading it, why should I be punished for what you did?
ReplyDeletewhat did he do? have an intimate relationship? that's not against the law. People demand equality of sexes but don't mean it in all aspects.
ReplyDeleteWhat is wrong with our world today. Someone please enlighten me what the both of them did wrong. Why is "right" or "wrong" even being discussed in this whole photo issue? Why is the revealing of a picture of IU and Eunhyuk by IU even an issue? Why are we even discussing who is the victim and who is not!?
ReplyDeleteAnd to netizen 5: I don't think what the netizens say about Hyukjae were any less mean that what netizens say of IU. It's not like he didn't suffer from awkward silences on shows. He just chose to bring it up and laugh it off so that it will be less awkward.
Welcome to the world of k-pop media where netizens make a big fuss over nothing and run people through the mud all the time according to their own immaturity, prejudices and narrow worldview. Enjoy your stay.
ReplyDeleteNo, I watched the show and it was Eunhyuk who brought the scandal
ReplyDeleteIf you think uploading that picture was a mistake by IU you are fucked up in the head.
ReplyDeletethere's no such thing as a 'self destruct button'. this isn't a cartoon.
ReplyDeleteEven if you mistakenly kill someone it's still murder. She uploaded the pic herself. Eunhyuk did nothing.
ReplyDelete"This is the reality of our country"
ReplyDeleteI dont think .. all the world are like that :(
Iu was the one who uploaded the pic, it's not his fault so I don't see the double standard
ReplyDeleteThe SUJU fans posting here are seriously fucked up in the head do you guys even read what you type?
ReplyDeleteExcept possibly have sex with a minor. But that NBD apparently!
ReplyDeleteHe's such a cunt
ReplyDeleteWhy is no one talking about their age difference? What the hell was a man his age doing with a young teenage girl?
ReplyDeleteWhere in my response did I say that I though he should "clean up the mess she caused".
ReplyDeleteI said that Eunhyuk shouldn't have let IU take all the heat.
The shade everyone is throwing at IU is because the contents of that photo completely contradict everything about her image. IU gets called a "loose whore" and Eunhyuk is the victim.
It takes TWO people to have a relationship.
It takes TWO people to fuck.
There were TWO people consenting to be in that photo.
Why is IU the whore and Eunhyuk the victim?
Like I said, Eunhyuk shouldn't have let IU take all the heat. Yes, it was her fault for accidentally uploading the damn thing. But after that happened, both IU and Eunhyuk had two choices: Deny it ever happened or come clean about it.
Apparently, Eunhyuk and SM saw a third option which was to say absolutely nothing and let the Netizens say all this shit about her.
It doesn't take a genius to know that when it comes to public relations, a united front is the best way to go. When two people are involved in a scandal and one denies it while the other just chooses to ignore it completely, it sends a message of dishonesty—hence, the current situation.
Eunhyuk is perfectly happy to let Netizens paint him as the victim because it's not like his career as the ugliest person in Super Junior could sink any lower, but IU... the person in the industry who had EVERYTHING to lose... everything is gone because of his selfish choice to do nothing.
Fuck him. Fuck SM. And fuck you for being a blind moron.
You're obviously either extremely short-sighted or just plain ignorant.
ReplyDeleteCarry on. Say something else that makes you look like a narrow-minded fool.
lol oh look a conspiracy theorist
ReplyDeleteWouldn't you tap a fresh piece of girl like IU?
ReplyDeleteIt's not like he raped her forcefully, age difference isn't much that to be honest. There are girls loosing their virginity at younger ages all over the world and she was definitely older than 18 at that time.
Do you use twitter or you are still stucked up with ICQ and MSN?
ReplyDeleteYou can't be seriously thinking that it is common to upload wrong pictures to twitter over your smart phone.. Especially that frickin picture out of maybe 200 or more photos in your twitter.
Murder is quite different from accidental killing.
ReplyDeleteMurder is when you kill someone with the intent to kill. It can be pre-meditated (first degree) or not pre-meditated (second degree).
Accidental killing, also known as "manslaughter", also comes in two degrees: voluntary ("heat of passion" murder... like if you get into an argument with someone and shove them into a glass coffee table and they die) and involuntary (negligent act that leads to someone's death... like drunk driving).
As INTENT is what determines what type of crime it was and what type of punishment it gets.
You're welcome.
i don't care if he kept silent, but he JOKED about it. fck. fck my life.
ReplyDeletethen shut up. don't make joke about it just to pull rating out of it.
ReplyDeleteIt's not like she is saying anything. he is being hated on too. The difference that he has never had an image of innocence and he has never made money out of that.IU is a great solo artist but her fan base is mainly composed of people who loved her for that. Even if she didnt want or chose it, she still built her career on it. She is getting screwed over by her own fans and by people who never liked her to begin with. If he says anything it could confirm the situation and make it even worst. How can you know he has never wanted to say anything? What if the companies want it this way. You cant expect him to do something that could make matters worst. Plus is not like he is not in the age to have a relationship. The silence and denial came from LOEN. If something is not a problem or and issue, like her agency has made it seem, one of them speaking out could make matters worst and confirm something that maybe never happened. In things like this is better to leave it alone.
ReplyDeleteI bet u wouldnt say the same if it was Eunhyuk who posted the pic
ReplyDeleteI watched the show and eunhyuk didn't even say IU name
ReplyDeletewould u say the same when eunhyuk post the pic
ReplyDeleteoh haters with no life creating accounts & voting their comments up when do u guys find the time " I wish I had no life like u guys" (its funny how other articles barely get and likes but suju articles always have 100 like in bad comments )
ReplyDeletesome one is really working hard too bad sj will never read them
Delusional fans are soo entertaining ^^. Please continue~
ReplyDeleteare u talking about Ur self
ReplyDeletedid i say the truth so your admitting now :D
lol what did he do?
ReplyDeletehe's the one who got buttraped by IU
and let's backtrack to how this shitstorm even came about in the first place
dumbfuck IU "accidentally" uploading that stupid photo on her twitter and keeping it there for like 15 mins
what a dumb bitch really
and now you want Eunhyuk to come out and fix this shitstorm IU created? please. he cares about his own behind more than anyone else, as if he would risk outting himself to the public.
i watched the show too and i confirm that the female MC brought the subject first in the first 10 minutes of the show ! if you're talking about the face to face between Eunhyuk and Kwanghee, Eunhyuk indeed said "lately i have hard times" that's all, he didn't say IU's name.
ReplyDeleteYeah sure he's the victim here, poor him having sex with a minor. Poor man, suuuure.
ReplyDeletesome comments on here are hilarious. it's not about who posted the picture, it's about the fact that they may have had a relationship. so, how many people are in a relationship? 2 people. i think people's brain and reasoning functions must be off or something 'cause no where else can you actually blame the teenager more than a 20 something year old guy. there is a thing called maturity and age difference.
ReplyDeleteFUCK YOU MORE. YOU DONT KNOW EVERYTHING. WE DONT KNOW EVERYTHING. YOU HAVE NO RIGHTS TO SAY SUCH THINGS JUST BECAUSE OF YOUR THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS. MAYBE YOU ARE A PERSON WHO CLAIMED TO BE INTELLECTUAL BUT DON'T KNOW ANYTHING BEHIND! BACK OFF. YOU LOSER.
ReplyDeleteThe 5th comment, what the hell? IU was the one uploaded the photo and Hyuk was the one subjected to the criticism.
ReplyDeleteWhat can you do on the show when the olders push you to talk about the problem that you don't want to mention?-Make it hilarious!
Eunhyuk just did a great job!
i think the reason he didn't take responsibility for it is because they broke up already
ReplyDeletewell done, Korean men :-P
ReplyDeleteFangirls will always protect their oppar, regardless of the case. They can't even think logical anymore
ReplyDeleteI know I will get many hates for this comment, but I really can't stand it anymore.
Its not IU to be blame...because thers a big POSSIBILITY that Eunhyuk can use IUs twitter and uploaded it up.
ReplyDeleteIts not IU to be blame...because theres a big POSSIBILITY that Eunhyuk can use IUs twitter and uploaded it up.
ReplyDeleteLMAO. XD
ReplyDeleteIt's not like eunhyuk raped her right? IU at least has brain to think, and she obviously concious over her decision to date anyone.
Come on, comeback to your sense.
Lastly, what does underage mean? do you seriously think that people only do sex after they turn 20?
(FYI, IU is 20 years old)
So does that mean you know anything? I don't understand your motive in this message. What are you trying to say? What kind of insight are you trying to provide?
ReplyDeleteThe whole imagery thing is a total mess. While I agree that some silence is necessary, I disagree that her fans hate her for that. I for one am a little surprised at first, but she is first human before all else. IU's fans as I see it are also a little different; they're more supportive than any other fandom I've seen thus far. The anger coming from IU's fans is not sourced from the incident, but the fact that LOEN made IU quiet about it and releasing their statement instead. Suppose IU did be honest, there will be some kind of explosion happening, but the fans "would" be relaxed. But since the exact opposite happened, well we have antis running rampant with the whole incident. Both parties should have been silent or honest, not half of each; no explanation should've been provided as it only made things messier.
ReplyDeleteBut I want to reemphasize on one important thing; it's just a picture. Everything that everyone has commented on, has been nothing but fantasy. Up to now, no truth has been revealed.
'ya don't even know if anything started. Cut the speculations.
ReplyDeleteYou can't deny that it was a possibility. No need for any conspiracy theory; simple logic says anything and everything is possible.
ReplyDeleteI agree, this also mean that she could have and couldn't have done it. Both are possible(not that is something bad but for lack of better words or way to describe it) she is neither "guilty" or "innocent",
ReplyDeleteYes, that's exactly how simple the situation is.. But of course, not one person is willing to think like that so, it can't be helped.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget that I said "not innocent". Either side can't be completely proven. I choose not hate on her or trash her name but I'm not about to protect her a defend her. Don't worry though , I've never liked her to begin with. Neither side has prove, and they chose silence as the best way to deal with it, so we won't know the "truth" until eunhyuk and IU give their undisclosed comments, which will probably never happen. And for someone who lived on her image more than her talent, her fans have to hope that she will "live" through it
ReplyDeleteWhat's up friends, nice article and fastidious arguments commented here, I am actually enjoying by these.
ReplyDeleteHere is my web-site - payday loans
Wtf, I'm a big fan of super junior, yes but it doesn't mean we protect them all the times! That's really disrespectful, plus in this situation eunhyuk isn't in the right or wrong. Heck! He wasn't even the one who uploaded that damn photo, and he wasn't the one who started that damn topic! Okay, maybe it's weird that he was dating such a young girl, yeah, okay! So shut the fuck up about ELFs we are not delusional thank you very much and go dig a hole :)
ReplyDeleteAgreed :)
ReplyDeleteIU wasn't she like 20? Ang how do u know if they are sex or not...plus he did not rape her!
ReplyDeleteWtf! If eunhyuk didn't make a joke about it, the show would've been a disaster...he can't just "forget" that his profession is being an idol, just because of this scandal! Like any other profession, working should have no feelings attached. Plus, he did a good job getting himself out of the situation!
ReplyDelete
