Kyuhyun reveals hardships of joining Super Junior + Youngji reveals she had no problems joining KARA

During a recent airing ofKBS's 'Happy Together,'Kyuhyunrevealed the hardships he faced when he first joinedSuper Junior, whileYoungjirevealed that she had no problem fitting in with the original members ofKARA


On this day, MCYoo Jae Sukasked Youngji if the KARA members were unfriendly towards her when she first joined, especially because the members have been together for a long while before Youngji joined the group. Youngji answered, "I received a lot of questions like this. And I expected that they would somewhat be [unfriendly]. But it was totally the opposite.




She added, "When I would ask one thing, then they would answer as if they were glad that I had asked. They would even tell me additional things [on top of what I asked] as well." 


However, when Kyuhyun was asked the same question, he gave a contrasting answer and said, "I think the situation would be a little different because the three members [in KARA], were already popular [before Youngji]. But when I went in Super Junior, it was a group that was just starting. So everyone was sensitive [at the time] because they wanted to succeed, and there were 13 members, the competition was fierce." 


When asked about how he was able to adjust into the group, Kyuhyun told the MCs that he joined the group late but Ryeowook also came into the group around the same time as he did. 


Kyuhyun said, "After about two months [of being in the group], I don't remember the reason but I remember crying while talking to Ryeowook. I asked, 'What can I do to fit into the group?' He told me that as time passes, everything will turn out the way it should, and to endure it for six months." 


The idol then revealed that after six months, the members started to acknowledge Kyuhyun as a part of the group, especially because Kyuhyun didn't seem like much competition at the time. 


Kyuhyun added, "No matter what I did, I did it humbly and always stood in the back or towards the end when we were taking pictures. Then, the members started to let their guard down."
