And it’s no wonder. Six of Super Junior’s members (Lee Teuk, Kang In, Shin Dong, Sung Min, Eun Hyuk and Ye Sang — just don’t ask me who’s who) participated in the 2008 Hope Marathon, walking the streets of Seoul for twenty-four hours. The marathon was part of SBS’s “Hope TV 24 We Are One Family” live broadcast and ended on Day 2 with a closing show where other pop groups and celebrities took the stage, including Brown Eyed Girls, SG Wannabe, SS501, and Moon Hee Jun.
Geez, it’s hard enough staying conscious for 24 hours straight. Adding constant physical activity would just about kill MY hope.
Seoul, May 9 through May 10.

Oh my gosh, they look so exhausted!
They should really take a full week off to rest. Maybe a month would be better….
May 10th, 2008 at 9:10 pm
Do they really need more sleep deprivation? Ah, well. Did it raise money for a good cause?
May 10th, 2008 at 9:52 pm
HAHAHAH.
Call me a sadist but that picture of Eeteuk’s expression is just hilarious. He looks downright miserable and so tired. The balloons enhance the hilarity even more.

WOW, they look exhausted. The poor guys don’t get enough rest as it is
May 10th, 2008 at 10:42 pm
oh the poor boys! yesung injured his leg during the first day and leeteuk was limping~ at least they didn’t make them perform at the end of it. i guess it’s all worth it since it’s for a good cause.
super junior hwaiting! don’t let the balloons take you out now.
May 10th, 2008 at 11:48 pm
haha! i can totally relate to them~ i joined an Amazing race challenge yesterday and now i can barely move my body!!! my neck to toes were aching~i felt like i wanna cry at the same time i wanna laugh~it’s insane!!!

May 10th, 2008 at 11:53 pm
they are so amazing raising money for a school about to close down. They should sleep all day today
May 10th, 2008 at 11:55 pm
Aw, well I guess at least they completed it. It’s for a cause, right?
And, what is that? KangIn? RED SOX? HELLS YEAH!!
May 11th, 2008 at 1:30 am
oh no, why is the fat one leaning on the one with crutches? aw poor kids… I think one of them is crying.
May 11th, 2008 at 3:25 am
aww poor kids, they look so miserable
you can really see the pain on eetuck’s face…
did they really have to walk for 24hours??? when i first read about it, i thought they would take turns…would make sense since they’re so many of them..
May 11th, 2008 at 5:16 am
woah, a walk for a cause that lasts for a day? isn’t that a little too much. but i really think what they did was really honorable! ^_^
yeah! go super juniors!
May 11th, 2008 at 6:08 am
‘fat one’ - Shindong, ‘crutches’ - Yesung
There, dramabeans, I’ve already ID half of them for ya…
May 11th, 2008 at 6:36 am
Awwww…bless them, they look so tired.
And…thought I would add to jippo’s descriptions:
Cap + yellow scarf +zombie look = Eunhyuk
Cap + I have only 1 arm now = Kangin
Visor + yellow hand bandage (balloon strings chafe, man) = Sungmin
Other visor + I may die on the spot look = Leeteuk
May 11th, 2008 at 6:55 am
Kangin is the only one who looks decent here
Others just about to die
I wonder if Shindong lost any weight
May 11th, 2008 at 6:58 am
beans, i giggled for 15 minutes at the caption. oh so funny….thanks for making my day!
May 11th, 2008 at 8:07 am
ahahahahaahahahahahahah.
that’s awesome they did it for a great cause, but yeah. the pictures are hilarious.
May 11th, 2008 at 8:31 am
so what WAS the cause they were sacrificing sleep for?
May 11th, 2008 at 9:35 am
Whoever thought of this Marathon idea is an idiot…I feel sorry for those participants.
May 11th, 2008 at 10:54 am
lee teuk is even crying…T-T
AJA AJA Hwaiting SUJU
May 11th, 2008 at 2:32 pm
Wow, I would have died already.
I hope it was worth it.
May 11th, 2008 at 7:26 pm
they all look so hopeless, haha. yesung’s on crutches?
May 11th, 2008 at 7:31 pm
lol Jo II your post made me crack up laughing. I remember one time when I walked from 2nd avenue back to my home in brooklyn and and that was 5 hours and I still remember the pain I was in that time. I can’t imagine walking for 24 hours. This has boosted my respect for them 10 fold. I heard they raised over 250 million won for some school that was closing down.
May 11th, 2008 at 9:31 pm
aww.. they look so tired and hopeless, they are trying so hard, they look so tired, they need time to rest, man, walking for 24 hours, so tired and their feets must hurt so bad, hope they are okay, fighting oppas!
May 11th, 2008 at 11:06 pm
god they look tired. it was for a good cause tho. i hope they slept the whole day after T_T
haha, kangin started to look cranky and was eeteuk crying? XD and i think it was shindong leaning on yehsung. who is on crutches. yikes. so exhausting TT_TT
I LOVE THESE BOYS TO SMITHEREENS
May 11th, 2008 at 11:41 pm
i vote for best photo & caption of the year.. they’re all drenched in sweat which is making me laugh too hard for my own good
i’m evil..
May 12th, 2008 at 9:29 am
Poor boys! I think it’s kinda ridiculous that they volunteered to do this, even if it’s for a good cause, they are always practically dead of fatigue anyway. Jungsu especially looks near death at most of his appearances, so I’m not sure what they were thinking putting him out there.
I’m also very curious as to how Yesung managed to injure himself on a *walk.*
May 12th, 2008 at 11:04 pm
our SuJu oppas look EXHAUSTED. but then, who wouldn’t be after a 24 hour walk…
btw, yesung didn’t twist his ankle or anything. at first, his foot was asleep but the pain got really bad and he had to be taken to the hospital :[
they look totally exhausted.
i hope they got some goooood sleep after that!
May 13th, 2008 at 4:54 am
Your captions KILL me. I can’t stop laughing. THANKS!

I was in that damn freaking marathon and all i felt was I was being used for publisity by super Junior. They definetly have no sleep deprivation. They had a masseuse with them they stop every 10 minutes or so for a message.. Hell! they did not even run, they just walk and they only run when the cameras were facing them.. best part was they did not even set up a resting tents for any of the fans. At 3 am the stupid juniors get to sleep with nice warm blankets..but the fans they had to wait in the cold by the river. Even the volunteers had to sleep by the river with NEWSPAPERS as their blankets. C’mon …don’t they know what is a marathon…they probably just act exhausted.. the people who were really exhausted were actually the fans and the volunteers ok. I thought I volunteered for a good cause but apparently the charity bodies pulled themselves out from the event ( I heard this from SBS-they told us when we started complaining later) so the event was mainly publisity…
May 15th, 2008 at 11:06 pm
puhahahahaha.
nerak: i was there too, along with my whole family. NOTT true at all. it’s true that they stopped once in a while for a massage, but not every 10 minutes!
and did you not hear about yesung? he trudged/limped on and on until he had to be taken to the HOSPITAL. that’s how hard he was trying. they obviously have to get some kind of rest!
and the fans and volunteers should have brought their own tents and stuff. we did. we only got 2 hours of sleep, but under “nice warm blankets” super junior just had it all prepared for them. it’s not their fault none of the other ppl had the sense to bring their own supplies.
anyways, if they really did make them run/jog/walk for 24 hours straight, with no rest, no massage and no sleep, ELF would have killed whoever organized the event.
