Members of veteran boy band Super Junior celebrated the band’s 13th anniversary with a special message to fans.

During the short clip on V Live, Leeteuk addressed his fans as E.L.F -- short for Ever Lasting Friends, the name of the group’s official fan club -- and said it was only thanks to them that the group could have received so much love.

Leeteuk said he hoped to celebrate the group’s 23rd, 33rd and 43rd anniversaries with similar video messages.

Yesung also promised that the group would stay together for many more years.

Choi Si-won said he wanted to walk alongside the fans with his bandmates, and he expressed his gratitude for the support he’d received over the years.

Another member, Ryeo-wook, appeared on top of a mountain during the message and said he could not believe it was already the 13th anniversary of the group’s debut.
