Today, April 4, is Super Junior Eunhyuk's birthday. He is now 28 years old (born 1986).

Eunhyuk started his career as a Super Junior member in 2005. More than 8 years have passed and he has achieved so much as a musician, a TV host/personality, and even as a theater actor.

Here are some interesting facts about Super Junior's main dancer and rapper:

His real name is Lee Hyuk Jae. He is using Eunhyuk as his stage name to avoid the confusion with veteran Korean comedian and MC Lee Hyuk Jae.
Kim Junsu, who was a member of the original TVXQ, is Eunhyuk's childhood friend. They both auditioned in 1999 through SM Entertainment's Starlight Casting System. Eunhyuk failed his first audition but after a year, he tried again and passed.
His contribution to Super Junior includes writing the rap parts and choreographing. The dance moves for "Bad Woman" is credited to him.
Eunhyuk wears man heels or shoe lifts even if he is 5' 9" (1.76 meters.) During an August 2010 episode of SBS' "Strong Heart", he revealed, "insoles are a must." If you're wondering if he is the shortest Super Junior member, no he isn't. He is actually in the middle spot in terms of height.
Eunhyuk enjoys playing the piano and knows how to play the guitar and drums also.
