On August 6, Label SJ released a statement announcing that Super Junior member Eunhyuk's father has passed away. Hence, Eunhyuk could not leave for his next schedule, which is the Super Junior World Tour - SUPER SHOW 9: ROAD IN MANILA.

ELFs (Super Junior fans) took to social media to offer their sincere condolences to Eunhyuk and offered him some warm words of assurance in these difficult times.

ELFs noted that Eunhyuk's father was a parent figure to not just Super Junior members but also the fandom and hoped he was at peace.

Fans noted that the Super Junior member's father was a sweet and supportive man, and fans will miss him immensely.


After Eunhyuk's loss, Super Junior announced they are postponing their concert and will instead hold a meet and greet for fans

Label SJ revealed that due to this personal setback, the SuJu member could not depart for the Super Junior World Tour - SUPER SHOW 9: ROAD IN MANILA, scheduled for today.

The group had previously revealed that they are internally discussing matters regarding the concert and will provide additional guidance as soon as possible. They apologized for the sudden notice and appreciated ELFs understanding.

They also requested fans to avoid visiting the funeral and sending flowers to allow the SuJu member to mourn privately.

In a fresh update, Super Junior has announced that given their circumstances, they have decided to postpone the concert and do a meet and greet instead.

Super Junior revealed in a statement:

“First of all, after many long discussions between the promoter and the Super Junior members, we both agreed that it would be difficult to properly hold [#SS9inManila] as scheduled.”

Despite this, Super Junior members wanted to show their appreciation towards Filipino ELFs and would still meet with them tonight.

“However, the group wanted to meet and greet the fans who came to [Manila] to attend the concert, so we’d like to ask everyone with tickets to enter the concert venue on time.”

It is Super Junior's sixth visit to the Philippines, following their December 2019 show at the same venue.

This is not the only personal setback for the group. Previously, it was announced that Super Junior member Siwon has tested positive for COVID 19 and will be unable to attend the Super Junior World Tour – SUPER SHOW 9: ROAD IN MANILA.
