Whom did Super Junior Kyuhyun save from a knife attack?
As per the latest reports, the suspect entered the dressing room of the musical ‘Ben-Hur’ under the pretense of being a fan. She first approached actor Park Eun Tae, a famous musical actor, known for playing the lead in ‘Elizabeth’, ‘Jekyll & Hyde’, ‘Frankenstein’, ‘Mozart!’, and more.
It’s true, so strange that they only revealed Kyuhyun’s name but not the actor who’s the target until so long after, and only responded bcs of fans inquiries? https://t.co/mJVeg1bLps

Netizens praise Kyuhyun’s repeated selfless behavior in protecting fellow artists
While the “sorry sorry” singer is receiving praise for his selfless bravery, many have pointed out that this isn’t the first time he has saved the life of a fellow artist. In 2009, Girl’s Generation was celebrating their ‘Music Bank’ win on the stage when a potentially life-threatening situation unfolded.
An overhead light fixture got loose and began to fall towards the artists exiting the stage. Among them was SHINee’s leader Onew. Witness’ shared that Kyuhyun alongside his bandmate Siwon ran to grab the light fixture that could have fallen upon the artists exiting the stage.
Onew fainted from the sudden shock of the accident and was immediately taken to a hospital. Fortunately, nobody suffered any severe injuries from the accident. This heroic behavior of reaching out to help in times of emergencies, from 2009 to 2023, has garnered many praises for Kyuhyun.
Meanwhile, fans and netizens are also expressing their concerns about the safety precautions of artists onstage and behind the stage. They have particularly expressed their displeasure noting that things would have easily taken a grave turn if it wasn’t for Kyuhyun’s intervention.
