  • Super Junior members Leeteuk and Heechul revealed the story behind forming their new unit, 'Lunes 3', during an appearance on the YouTube show 'Salon Drip'.
  • The unit was formed because Heechul lacked a unit for Super Junior's concert performances, leading to the creation of 'Lunes 3' and the song 'Onsaemi-ro'.
  • A representative from SM Entertainment stated that the unit's activities were largely driven by the members' desires, with minimal company input.

Super Junior's Leeteuk and Heechul shared the unexpected origin of their new unit, 'Lunes 3', on the YouTube channel 'TEO - Salon Drip'. The duo explained that the unit's formation was a direct result of needing a specific performance for a Super Junior concert.

Leeteuk recalled that Heechul was the only member without a dedicated unit for the concert. This necessity spurred the creation of 'Lunes 3', with Heechul even penning the lyrics for their pre-release song 'Onsaemi-ro' on short notice.

The start of the unit's formation was when we had to do a unit stage at the Super Junior concert, and Heechul didn't have a unit.

"We really did as you two wanted," the representative stated, signaling a departure from typical company-driven projects and raising anticipation for the unit's future endeavors.
