Super Junior Hawaii Experience

Super Junior left Hawaii on July 15th. Well, most of them left on the 15th.  Eunhyuk left on the 17th.  For their brief stay in Hawaii they left a very big impression, not only on me, but a lot of K-pop fans who rarely see any big name K-pop idols in Hawaii.

When I heard that they had arrived on the island of Oahu, you can't imagine my excitement. Usually I hear that SMtown travels to New York or California, if they decide to travel to the U.S.  I'm always stunned that I don't hear them stopping over in Hawaii for refueling before continuing on back to Korea.  Why not???

In any case, they had arrived and stayed to do a photo shoot.  Coincidentally it's at the same time as the Korean Festival.  I thought they were going to perform there but sadly no.

During their time here so many fancams were uploaded to show where they were and what they were doing.  In the past, there were photos of them all clothed and if there were glimpses of their chest or bellies peeking from under their shirts fans would go crazy and I have to admit, me too.  But while they were here somehow it didn't seem strange that they were practically half naked on the beach surfing, tanning or relaxing.  I thought it was normal and didn't think anything of it.  All I kept on thinking was "YIKES! Some of them are getting pink.  Why isn't someone telling them to put on sunscreen?"  "Hope someone is giving them Tylenol and aloe to ease the pain if they felt any after being in the sun so long."  Kangin looked super red in one of the skateboarding pics.

My only brief sighting was on a Tuesday.  All the pics of Suju returning to Korea didn't have Eunhyuk in them.  People were saying there was one missing.  Yea! It looked like it was my bias, Eunhyuk.  I had to go down to the hotel to see if I could get a glimpse of Eunhyuk.

After work, Chai, my partner in crime, and I decided to see if he was actually still at the hotel.  I only had 2 hours before I had to be somewhere else.  We had gotten to the hotel and it didn't look like there were any fans hanging around.  We decided to wander back towards the beach and looked around.  Nothing.  Then back to the front of the hotel and hung out there.  We had heard that Eunhyuk was still there and had gone out in a silver car.  As we waited, I kept on looking at the time.  I was getting nervous because I needed to leave already.  Next thing I knew a car pulled up and I glanced at the passengers.  I notice the hair and thought "Is that him?!?"  As he walked by with the Prince Manager and someone else, my brain slowly decided "TAKE A PICTURE!"

Ugh! The delay between pressing the button and the click of the camera was too long.  Someone had walked between Eunhyuk and me as my camera snapped.  Sadly, I only got a bit of Eunhyuk's head in my pic. T_T

They had walked into the hotel and I was going to follow but stopped.  I didn't know if I was going to be too intrusive or not.  We had decided to leave.  Sigh...I would have wanted a picture with him.  In hindsight, I wish I was bolder and had followed and asked for a picture with him or  at least a hug.  Oh well, at least I have a memory of seeing him close up and in person, however briefly.  It was fate that my bias had stayed a day longer, hopefully so I could see him (haha).  I hope he comes back, so I could really get a photo with him.  Kyuhyun too. =)

Eunhyuk on the right, this is what he was wearing when I saw him. =)

I hope that they had enjoyed their stay here, however, short and hopefully return.  I have high hopes that the rumors would be true and Suju would be coming back to Hawaii.
