Shindong Kyu-hyun is in a car accident coma 18 years ago, and he could die...Thank you for being alive.



Shindong of Super Junior showed his affection for Kyuhyun.

Shin-Dong and Kyu-hyun appeared as guests on KBS2 'Troubles in the Rooftop Room', which aired on the 3rd. Shin-Dong confessed that he and Kyu-hyun were awkward with each other.

Kyuhyun said "I'm not awkward, but you push me a little bit", but Shin-Dong said "It's awkward when I'm alone." It's okay when we're all together because we're so introverted, but there's nothing to say when the camera turns off. Kyuhyun is so good at teasing the members, but I don't. I can feel that I'm being careful."




I thought it would be nice to invite Kyu-hyun to my house because he was awkward. I had the courage to invite him, but he said he would be there in 30 minutes." But Kyuhyun "When I went home, I found 30 pairs of shoes. It was almost like a party, including other celebrity managers. I don't like crowded places."

At the same time, Shin-Dong thanked Kyu-hyun for surviving a car accident 18 years ago. In 2007, Kyuhyun, Lee Teuk, and Shin Dong-hyuk were on their way back to their accommodation after finishing a KBS radio schedule when a car overturned on Olympic Boulevard near Banpo Bridge, which was believed to have ruptured tires. The vehicle was completely damaged and members were also injured. Shin-Dong and Eun-hyuk were fortunate to have only minor injuries, but Lee Teuk was seriously injured, including stitches of 180 needles with severe injuries to the upper part of his right eye and back. The most serious thing was Kyuhyun. At the time of the accident, he suffered multiple rib fractures and pelvic fractures due to the impact that bounced about 30m behind the window. In particular, a broken rib pierced the lungs, leading to a hemothorax, and he was hospitalized in an intensive care unit in a coma for four days.

Shindong "The most memorable thing is that Kyuhyun was hurt the most. Kyuhyun first loaded the ambulance and sent it to another hospital, and the other three went to one hospital. At that time, it wasn't the time when people used to use mobile phones on the Internet, but we also knew in the news that Kyuhyun was seriously injured. Teuk and I watched the news, and we held each other in the bathroom and cried. I'm not emotional either, but I'm going crazy to hear from my manager that Kyuhyun could die."




Then "At that time, of course, I thought Kyuhyun would buy it. And after 20 years, the writer asked 'Is there anything you're thankful for Kyu-hyun?' and suddenly that came to mind. I said, 'I'm just so grateful to be alive.'"
