"To our ELF, who are like blue starlights.
Hello. This is Ryeowook of Super Junior.
I have some news that I want to share directly with ELFs, who are my most precious friends, and who support me with all their might and send me love. I am writing this letter with the hopes of conveying my whole sincerity to you.
November 6, 2005. That was the date when I met ELFs for the first time, during early winter. I was 19 years old back then. The present Kim Ryeowook is now 38 years old, and I'm in my 20th since debut.
Then and now, our ELFs have always stayed by our side. I think we have become stronger as we have experienced both happy and sad times. So, while I want to be the first to share this, I'm also cautious in saying it.
As you all know, I have someone I am seeing. During the time we have spent together, I naturally developed a desire to become family with her. This was not a sudden decision, but we have been thinking about it for a long time.
After a long discussion with my members and the company staff, it was decided that we would be getting married at the end of May, this spring.
I am always so grateful to our ELFs, who supported me even though I'm not perfect and clumsy. On the other hand, I apologize to those who were surprised by this news.
Nevertheless, I will continue to show everyone who supports me, that I will continue to work hard as Ryeowook of Super Junior and Ryeowook the singer. I would like to thank the members and SM company for supporting me and giving me strength in my decision.
ELFs! The weather is still very cold. Always dress warmly and be careful not to catch a cold. I am always grateful, and I love you."
Congratulations to Ryeowook and Ari!
