In a heartwarming twist during their 2024 WORLD TOUR: ECLIPSE concert at the Olympic Handball Gymnasium on September 28 and 29, Super Junior D&E brought back memories of their former member, Kangin, which stirred emotions among fans and attendees alike.

The concert drew an impressive crowd, featuring not only fellow Super Junior members but also a host of artists under the SM Entertainment label. Notably, NCT’s Doyoung was spotted enjoying the electrifying performances, adding to the star-studded atmosphere.

However, the highlight of the evening came when the current members of Super Junior D&E decided to honor Kangin by mentioning him during the show. As they introduced themselves, they surprised the audience—and Kangin himself—by saying, “And our former member, Kangin!” His reaction was a poignant moment captured on video; Kangin appeared momentarily taken aback, bowing his head in a display of emotion. Fans in attendance couldn’t help but feel a mix of nostalgia and joy as they witnessed his smile, a reminder of the bond that once held the group together.

Kangin's journey with Super Junior has been tumultuous. Since voluntarily stepping away from the group in 2019, he has faced scrutiny following several controversies, including legal issues stemming from drunk driving incidents and assault allegations. Despite these challenges, his fans have continued to support him, eager for a glimpse of their beloved idol.

As the concert unfolded and fans reminisced about past memories, it became clear that Kangin's influence on Super Junior and their fans remains strong. The mention at the concert not only reminded everyone of the legacy he left but also reaffirmed the ties that still bind the members, regardless of their individual paths.

Fans are left wondering: Is a full reunion in the cards? Only time will tell, but for now, the emotional acknowledgment has rekindled hope among fans who cherish the history of Super Junior’s illustrious journey. Stay tuned for more updates as the group continues to tour and connect with their audience worldwide!
