Shindong reveals Super Junior fighting rankings: Siwon No. 1, RYEOWOOK weakest

"Super Junior's fighting hierarchy: Siwon is No. 1, RYEOWOOK is the weakest," Shindong revealed.

Shindong, a member of Super Junior, shared candid episodes involving his longtime teammates, revealing the reality behind the group's famous bond. As a veteran idol group approaching their 20th anniversary since their debut, the members' relationships—ranging from petty bickering to unbreakable solidarity—were laid bare with plenty of laughter.

During the episode of the MBN and Channel S variety program 'No Plans At All' broadcast on the 24th, Shindong joined a gourmet trip to Hapcheon, Gyeongnam, where he opened up about the various conflicts, both large and small, among Super Junior members.

During the show, Jun Hyun-moo asked, "Whenever Super Junior members appear on a show, don't they always talk about fighting? Have you actually fought in real life?" Shindong replied, "It would be disappointing if I were left out of the Super Junior fighting stories," before sharing an anecdote about a time he nearly had a major clash with Yesung.

The incident Shindong recalled was a minor argument sparked by a diet. At the time, he was struggling to manage his weight and was eating an "idol sandwich" he had managed to find in a music show waiting room.

The trigger was a single comment from Yesung: "Eating again?" Shindong candidly confessed, "It wasn't a big deal, but it was so hard because I was on a diet at the time. I got stuck on that comment and teased Yesung hyung." He added, "He said, 'Hey, do you want to die?' and since I'm his younger brother, I said, 'Are you crazy?'"

Shindong drew laughter by adding, "I did judo when I was young, and since Yesung hyung has a slim build, I thought I could win him."

However, the other members reportedly didn't try to mediate the conflict between the two, but instead watched, saying, "That looks fun," showcasing Super Junior's uniquely relaxed team atmosphere.

Following this, Shindong gave unhesitating answers when asked who among the Super Junior members would be the best fighter.

He picked Siwon for first place, citing strong reasons: "If it's a real fight, it's Siwon. He did Taekwondo and learned boxing while filming dramas." He then evaluated himself, saying, "From second place onwards, it's ambiguous. I'm around 2nd or 3rd place," and noted that Donghae would also be a formidable opponent due to his strength and boxing experience.

On the other hand, he pointed to RYEOWOOK as the lowest, bringing laughter. Shindong gave a joking evaluation, saying, "The last place is definitely RYEOWOOK. He looks like he would pinch and bite."

However, these revelations do not signify actual discord, but are closer to the friendly banter possible only between members who have been together for a long time. Super Junior, who debuted in 2005, is one of the longest-running idol groups in Korea, having built a unique team culture through cycles of conflict and reconciliation over their many years of activity.

Shindong's stories drew interest by showing the candid relationships possible between people who have spent many years together, rather than the perfectly polished image often presented by idols. The fact that even small quarrels can be recalled with laughter is ultimately a testament to their deep underlying trust.
