About EunHae

EunHae pairs Eunhyuk and Donghae, two Super Junior members whose friendship stretches back to their teenage trainee years, well before the group debuted in 2005. Out of all the possible pairings in the large Super Junior lineup, these two were chosen to form the official sub-unit Super Junior-D&E, a real career partnership that fans see as the ultimate validation of their natural chemistry. On stage the two are known for tight, synchronized dancing and easy, playful banter, and Eunhyuk has openly embraced the fandom's affection for the pair over the years. Their bond extends well past performing: in 2023 they co-founded their own agency, ODE Entertainment, making them business partners as well as longtime stage partners. For fans, EunHae represents one of K-pop's most enduring friendships, more than two decades of two people growing up, performing, enlisting, and building careers side by side.

'EunHae' merges syllables from each name. Fans ship the pair for their two-decade friendship, the fact that they were hand-picked from the full group to be an official sub-unit, and their tight on-stage chemistry.
