Super Junior's Eunhyuk and Siwon: careers, causes, and what they're doing now

Eunhyuk: main rapper, main dancer, serial donor

Eunhyuk (Lee Hyuk-jae, 39) debuted with Super Junior in December 2005 on Super Junior05, the group's first studio album. He's held the main rapper and main dancer positions ever since, rotating through units like SUPER JUNIOR-T, SUPER JUNIOR-M, SUPER JUNIOR-Happy, and SUPER JUNIOR-D&E.

His solo output stays lean. A digital single, be, dropped in 2021. Since then, live events have filled the gap: a fan meeting called 은혁의 86F 404호 at YES24 Live Hall in 2024, followed by a concert, -Limitless: Time- Special in SEOUL, at Seoul Olympic Hall in 2025.

Variety work earned him the SBS Entertainment Awards Variety Division Rookie Award in 2009 for 강심장. In 2021, he took the KBS Entertainment Awards Best Teamwork Award as part of the 살림하는 남자들 cast. His dance background runs deeper—a gold award at the Goyang City Youth Dance Competition in 2000.

Philanthropy has become routine. From 2023 through 2025, he donated 100 million won per year. On his birthday in April 2026, he gave an additional 100 million won each to Samsung Seoul Hospital and a child welfare organization. He backs the 2026 Firefighter Hero Support Project, which supports firefighters and families of fallen firefighters. His YouTube channel, 일단은혁이 1LDAN EUNHYUKEE, posts Shorts every Tuesday and main content every Friday.

Siwon: actor, record-holder, UNICEF rep

Siwon (Choi Si-won, 39) debuted the same day—December 5, 2005, on Super Junior05. He holds center and sub-vocal positions alongside Heechul, Donghae, Sungmin, Kyuhyun, Yesung, and Ryeowook.

His acting spans Korean and Chinese productions. He won a Newcomer Award for his lead in Oh! My Lady. He played Ddol-gi in She Was Pretty, a parliament member in Citizens, and the student council president in Pretty Boy Serial Terrorist Incident. In Chinese cinema, he appeared as Yingpo in Dragon Blade and Park Woo-chul in Equator. The OST track 너뿐이야 (Only You) drew attention alongside his on-screen work.

Social media became its own chapter. He was the first Korean to surpass 5 million Twitter followers and now holds 15 million on Weibo.

Off-screen, Siwon serves as a special representative for the UNICEF Korea Committee. He's done coal briquette volunteering, mentored at music festivals, and participated in environmental campaigns Earth Hour and Plant Our Planet. He received culture category commendations at the Korea Youth Hope Awards in 2021 and 2023, and a commendation from the National Assembly's Committee on Foreign Affairs and Unification in 2023.

His most recent SNS post, uploaded on the 19th, showed him outdoors in sunglasses with the caption "Chasing the sun." He shared reading notes on the second volume of 사라진 근대사 100장면 (Disappeared Modern History 100 Scenes), writing "Facts are sacred." He is currently filming in Taiwan.
