After over a decade, the OG 15 members of Super Junior made a heartwarming reunion at Ryeowook-Ari's wedding, touching fans' hearts as they did their group chant & even performed the 2024 version of their hit song!
On May 26, the much-awaited wedding of "power couple" Ryeowook and former TAHITI Ari finally took place in Seoul.
They started publicly dating in 2020, and after about four years, they decided to tie the knot and hold a private ceremony with their families and close friends.
On the same day, clips and photos from the event were shared online, and ELFs (fandom) went emotional to see the couple smiling lovingly next to each other.
However, what made them shed tears even more was after seeing that ALL members were present at the wedding!
And when we say "all," we meant OT15!
In particular, a photo with the 13 members including Sungmin and former members Kangin, Kibum and Hangeng initially spread, touching fans' hearts.
While this is enough for fans to break into tears, their overflowing emotions bursted after videos were shared showing Super Junior-M members Henry and Zhou Mi at the event!

In the clips shared by attendees, Super Junior made the wedding ceremony more special as they sang the 2024 version of their megahit track, "Sorry Sorry" as a full group.
This song has a deep meaning to them since this is the same track that led to the group's popularity outside South Korea.
After over a decade, the group also made their first group chant as OT15 under the baton of their leader, Leeteuk.
When he shouted:
"Urineun Super Juni--"
The members instinctively shouted and did their hand sign, saying:
"OEYO!"
After the ceremony, an official confirmed this and said:
"All Super Junior members attended and the wedding was completed, which added more meaning to it. Ryeowook got married in joy, receiving warm blessings from the entire Super Junior group."
This is the first time that OT15 assembled once again after Han Geng left the group in 2009 after filing a lawsuit against SM Entertainment to terminate his contract.
Since then, they were never able to gather again as OT15 due to various reasons, such as the members' military enlistment and teammates leaving the group.
Kibum and Henry naturally left the group after contract expiration and focused on their respective careers as actors and musicians while Kangin voluntarily left Super Junior due to his drunk driving issues.
Regarding Sungmin, he's still a member, yet he became inactive in 2014 after marrying musical actress Kim Sa Eun. He is currently working on his transition as a trot singer. Lastly, Zhou Mi is the remaining Chinese member of Super Junior-M, yet the sub-group stopped being active in 2015.
