People might say that Donghae isn’t the strongest speaker compared to some of the other Super Junior members, but for me, he’s the best listener. He’s really perfected back-channeling — the way he naturally says things like “mm-hmm,” “oh,” or “that’s right” while someone else is talking to encourage them to continue. He’s always fully engaged. ❤
I think that Donghae adores him the most. as much as his own members but I do think Donghae is very biased with Minho. They were always together. Eating, and he was begging his mom from time to time to let him stay with him. A real dad type of energy. Also with Super TV when they competed with Minho, You can tell when Minho said he was the Xmen of the opposite team because they have a close bond, Donghae was absolutely over the moon in love with that statement. That smile of his was like.. Yup thats my baby. He didnt even try to say like no I am your rival. He didnt try to win that game at all. Because he probably adores Minho so much. And its been so obvious. Just his looks and the way he is with Minho. Very dad like And he takes his opinions heavy. Donghae will always and sincerely think of Minho opinions and what he thinks of things and take it to heart. If its good he appreciates it, if its not good he wants to be better. Its like a brother trying to prove to his dongsaeng that he can make him proud. You know.. I do feel that their bond is very sincere.
