About Super Junior's Ryeowook

Back in September 2020, it was confirmed that the singer is in a relationship with the former TAHITI member and currently promoting as actress, Ari.

While many fans were happy for the couple, the singer somehow felt that he has insulted many of his fans by keeping his relationship a secret initially.

This is why he released a letter of apology for his said "lack of respect."

At the time, before he confirmed said news, several malicious reports about the girl emerged as well.

According to Ryeowook, none of the rumors were true and he was sad that they were being spread.

Outside of his love life, Ryeowook is a well-loved musician and performer. Even though he has various solo work that garnered praises, it is his being a Super Junior member that truly made him a household name. He is the main vocalist for the boy group,

He reportedly just went through two months of training before already debuting as a Super Junior member. It's a mean feat, but his vocal skills speak for themselves.

Similar to the Super Junior's other main vocals, Ryeowook has been part of various several musical theater stages already.

This means he can act as much as he can sing. He once performed in Tokyo for his role as a Korean soldier in "The Goddess is Watching."
