Super Junior’s Eunhyuk sends greetings for the Lunar New Year with a “lip kissing” picture.

On January 24, Eunhyuk tweeted a picture with the comment “Happy Lunar New Year! Mwah♥”

In the picture, he is wearing a yellow T-shirt, white rimmed sunglasses and has a blue head phone around his neck. He draws particular attention to his pouting lips and kissing marks around the picture.

Along with the greeting, Eunhyuk has inspired laughter for playing around with Super Junior’s another member, Siwon, on Twitter about their trip to England.

On January 25, T-ara announced through their agency that they will do memorable volunteer work once they top the charts for three consecutive weeks with “Lovey-Dovey.”

This is a second promise they made after the first one that they would say thank you to their fans in the subway once they topped the charts with “Lovey-Dovey.” As they topped the chart on SBS TV’s Inkigayo a day after they made the promise, they put it into action immediately.

This time, they attracted attention by making the second promise with an unusual campaign poster. It’s been reported that the poster was designed by T-ara member Hyomin, spending the whole night for it.

T-ara originally planned to do volunteer work early this year but changed their plan to make it as a second promise because they thought it would be more meaningful to do volunteer work after winning a triple crown.

T-ara say, “After the first promise to say thank you to people in the subway, we’ve decided to do volunteer work as the second promise, hoping that we can be somehow a help to people who live under very difficult and trying circumstances.”

Although T-ara have ranked first in several online music charts every time they released a new song, they haven’t on TV music programs for some reason. However, “Lovey-Dovey,” their recently released song, has topped both SBS TV’s Inkigayo chart and KBS 2TV’s Music Bank chart.

It is a celebration time for Super Junior and their fans because former has got rewarded with four trophies and a medal on ‘2012 Golden Disk Award’.

Super Junior member express their exhilaration and acknowledge their fans in their tweets. “Super Junior won four awards at ‘Golden Disk’ ELF you are the best, Thank you. We’ll work harder” Donghae tweeted and shared a photo of members holding four trophies. Yesung posted a picture with the trophies and wrote, “ELF all over the world who has given this gift, thank you and I love you.”

Leeteuk also acknowledge fans in these words, “Finally we did it! The award that everyone have made it to give us happiness as a gift. Always thank you and sorry we’re really happy. Most 4 gold medals in the history of Golden!Every E.L.F who worked hard to vote, love our album and have made memories with us . We love you”

Eunhyuk express his happiness with the most funny words, “Mom I have become a champion, You saw it? need to call ELF, ELF get it twice, thrice and four times”

Kyuhyun tweeted, “I am not good at things like this, I don’t know how to say. Thanks ELF for giving such great reward to the ugly ducklings, Super Junior, and for the huge love. I love you more.”

Sungmin wrote on his blog, “Its really a happy day. Thank you fans. I’ll work harder in future”
