Veteran idol group Super Junior is set to appear on JTBC's variety show 'Knowing Bros' to celebrate their 20th debut anniversary.

The episode, airing on July 12, will showcase the longtime chemistry and witty banter between the Super Junior members. They will also candidly reveal the secrets behind keeping their team together for the past 20 years.

On the preview for the upcoming episode, Leeteuk shared, “Today we all came to work in a group bus. Back in 2005, we used to ride buses for promotions, so I came up with the idea as a way to revisit those days,” revealing the story behind their group commute.


Kyuhyun confessed that during preparations for this album, “We were divided into elite, average, and remedial dance classes, which made me a bit self-conscious.” To this, Siwon humorously added, “After the elite class was done, the choreography would change completely, so it was exhausting,” drawing laughter.

The members also joked, “This time, Ryeowook became the most powerful member,” explaining, “Schedules that the others didn’t want to do ended up happening just because Ryeowook agreed to them.”

A skit mimicking Ryeowook’s control over the members’ schedules had everyone at the shoot bursting into laughter.


Siwon also gave a heartfelt tribute, saying, “The reason we’ve been able to stay together for 20 years is largely thanks to our leader, Leeteuk. Without him, we might’ve ended a long time ago.” Kyuhyun added, “Though when Leeteuk goes through weird phases, Eunhyuk steps in and acts like the leader,” bringing another burst of laughter.

Speaking about their 20th-anniversary album, Eunhyuk shared, “There are nine tracks, one for each member. I really like the title track. I think it quenches a thirst we’ve had for years,” raising anticipation.

Meanwhile, 'Knowing Bros' airs every Saturday at 9 PM KST on JTBC.
