Trivia[]
- He has directed multiple concerts, like some of SUPER JUNIOR's SUPER SHOW concerts[21] and SUPER JUNIOR-D&E's tours.[22] He has also worked on directing other groups' concerts, like TFBoys' sixth-anniversary concert which took place in a 40,000 capacity stadium.[23]
- He has often contributed to SUPER JUNIOR choreographies, creating or modifying some of their dance moves. For example, he has done it for "Black Suit"[24] and "House Party".[25]
- The artist that has influenced him the most is Michael Jackson, whom he has looked up to ever since he was a child, and he still watches videos of him to learn from them.[26]
- Ironically, Michael Jackson had scouted Eunhyuk to be his backup dancer during the latter's years as a trainee but Eunhyuk has scheduling conflicts and thus, was unable to accept the offer.
- Once he was done with his military service, he moved away from the dorm and lived on his own for around two years. However, he felt that it was lonely and boring, and so he moved back into the dorm, where he lived with Kyuhyun and SUPER JUNIOR's manager.[27]
- In early 2021, because of his mother's illness, he made the decision to move back in with his parents and his sister. He bought a luxury home in Yongin where the four of them now live together.[28][29] However, Eunhyuk still lives part-time in the dorm, staying there when it's convenient, like when he has a schedule on that day or early the next.[30]
