Grasping the level of “craziness” that comes up in daily life. Was the most important thing I put up before interviewing Kim Heechul (29). A mental world vague on 4-Dimension “crazy” or genius, an outlook in between guy and girl, and an idol singer who has a repertoire as broad as over few decades. His wisdom and inner power that encounters with prominent sharp-tongued others, mixed with young and innocent eyes adds up to a curious sight-seeing. Singer (Super Junior) and actor at the same time, MC, and also active in other activities, the public’s view on him is almost the same. A guy who knows he’s better and live for that, but then doesn’t make others feel bad, overall a distinct species that can’t be specified into one thing.

“Would I be here if it wasn’t for my face?”

It’s an analysis for his entertainment life from his debut in 2005. There’s a bandage as big as 500 Won coin on his left face due to a fan throwing a LED board in ShangHai Concert couple weeks ago.

Not the type that gets stressed easily, but every time he looks in the mirror stress comes up deep down in the stomach. Even the car accident wasn’t this much….

“I can’t sing or dance so I have nothing to put forward so my face is almost everything, and I work really hard for this….”

Like he said, he has always showed off enough of presence in the group Super Junior only with his ‘beauty.’

He’s heard countless compliments on his face, with countless girls who chased after him even though he acted mean and unmannered. Plus when an untalented KangWon-Do countryside boy who was only focused on being carefree got accepted into SM Entertainment audition before many other talented trainees, his “my face will work anywhere anyhow” got uncontrollable.

“Ah, I’ll revise my statement. I’m not saying that my face is everything. I have other talents but with the face, the synergy gets bigger, I think this is the right analysis.”

”Please make him a human being”

What his parents said after they heard he signed with SM. Moreover added that “Nowhere else would accept him so to expand the contract term to 30 years.” All the school memories are hanging out with friends. Enjoyed listening to hard rock bands and went to karaoke at 4, 5 times a week to sing Lim JaeBoem or Micheal Bolton’s songs, he has never cared about other people’s views about what he wears or behaviour. He did do things that would be specified as 일탈but he never caused trouble. Like he would run away from home but still go to classes.

Starting from the year he became 18, he worked part-time at display factory, restaurant, and others. Learned how to look at the society and studied about life from the hyungs who were over 30, 40 years old whom he met at the working sites.

“What will you be later?” His parent’s worries grew, but he grew unreasonable confidence and optimism towards his future. There’s a saying that a person who will become something will become regardless of what he does. He made the first step to become a celebrity by getting into SM at the age of 21 after spending the fun teenage life without any stress, or rivalry against anything.

“After all, there was no song to listen to”

This thought came up to him after working as idol singer listening to songs on TV. There were lots of good songs from the childhood like Cho YongPil, Patty Kim, HyeEunE, Park NamJung, SoBangCha, Kim WanSun’s songs that everyone could sing when they went out for karaoke. After being a singer it turned out that it wasn’t easy to find a song that could bring interest in him.

From that time he started to listen to the old songs. Unfamiliar titles but after listening, the songs were actually familiar to him. He was proud of himself for “listening to different variety of songs since young, improving self so he can be a good singer.” Even though he’s the youngest amongst the MCs in “Starry Night Memories” and “Golden Fishery-Radio Star” , he’s surpassing other mid-aged MCs with his public music senses that pour out with a juke box.

“Wouldn’t it be just prejudice against AB blood types?”

Viewers, people around him, even his parents tell him “you’re so unique” but Kim HeeChul thinks differently. He thinks that people just presume about him only with qualities of AB blood types. When he asked best friends SsamD, HongKi, and SangChu , everyone says he’s normal, but then all his best friends are also AB blood types. He defensed that “I just do what I have to say, what I can say.” Like a person who has to put the bell on the cat’s neck. “All the other members order jajangmyeon, but I really want to eat jjambbeong. So I order jjanbboeng . I think it’s different that I show what’s on my mind.”

“Keeping the small things free”

It’s his principles of life. Even with his free-life style image, he has never been on gossip for his personal life. In front of small temptations, he always asks himself: “Is it worth my everything?” He doesn’t think that celebrity is a public figure, but is sure that it’s someone who has big influence over things. He tries his best not to say wrong things since he knows standard for celebrities is strict. He says “For celebrities like us, if one thing goes wrong, that’s just the end” but his goal in life is to “work really hard so you can have fun.”

Self-consciousness packed full with craziness. He was a smart man with free life style.

Due to the fact that they grew up in Korea, a world leader in internet, there are people in the entertainment industry whose gaming skills are above average. Super Junior’s Kyuhyun and NRG’s Noh Yoomin are such examples. There are many celebrities who relieve stress from their busy schedule by playing online games which have no time or space restrictions.

Kyuhyun, who is great at playing Starcraft is estimated to be in the same level as that of a professional gamer. His skills have been recognized by professional gamer Seo Kyungjong. Kyuhyun was called “the son of mom’s friend” for having being ranked number one in his high school class as well as having superb gaming skills.

*The son of mom’s friend refers to males who are good at everything.

Seoul Central District Court civil court 30th division (head judge Noh Mankyung) made a ruling on December 20th in the case filed by group Super Junior’s Chinese member Hangeng against the management company SM Entertainment. The judge ruled in favor of the plaintiff in the lawsuit over the validity of the exclusive contract.

Hangeng filed a lawsuit in December 2009 against the management company SM claiming he cannot maintain his unfair exclusive contract.

The court ruled that, “The exclusive contract signed on Jan 2003, the edited contract signed on feb 2007, and the addtional contract signed on december 2007, all the contracts have been declared invalid. *

So the official list of Top Twitter Trends of 2010 has recently been revealed and even though no Super Junior-related trending topics make it to the overall top 10 trends, our very own Kim Heechul snags a spot in the top 10 PEOPLE trends, sitting nicely at number 9. There were so many events relating to Heenim in 2010 that we can’t keep track, for example, when he dressed up as f(x) Sulli in Super Show 2. On Super Junior-T’s anniversary project, he was the only member that trended along and it is not exactly a rare occasion that one or two words mentioned in his tweeted went up the trending list simply because it garnered so much attention. It was actually quite predictable that he would shake the twitterverse after he deleted his twitter account (@hee18) few hours after his first tweet ^^

• Why I love Super Junior? I wasn’t into K-Pop when Super Junior debuted, I started noticing them only after they released Sorry Sorry (in my opinion, THE song that shot them to superstardom and got them where they are right now). My first impression of them was “Why so many members?” and “What’s with the haircut?” While watching EHB, it was then when I realized that these boys began to grow on me. They have a nonchalant approach to fame and they don’t take themselves too seriously, that’s a quality I rarely find in other K-Pop groups. I realize in Korean entertainment world, idol images are shaped and they have to maintain that, but every so often, with SJ members, their real personalities appear in interviews, variety shows, radio broadcasts and especially Super Show. They way they interact with each other make me feel like I’m watching the boys-next-door, approachable, funny, dorky and humble. I guess that imperfection shows that they are real and relatable.
  
  Why I love TwELFs and SPL? When I first started collecting information about Super Junior, I stumbled upon several fanbases, but TwELFs stood out to my attention immediately for several reasons: quality content, good English, pleasing to the eyes & easy to navigate.Like any other new converts, I joined in the fandom bandwagon and participated with gusto especially on Trending Topic projects. I was surprised to know that TwELFs founders were still in college, because they ran a tight ship with the blog and Twitter account. I was even more pleasantly surprised when I communicated via Twitter with the founders, because they were so friendly and unpretentious. TwELFs blog has meaty content without sacrificing entertainment value. It is informational without sounding too serious and at the same time, provides all the fun tidbits for fans –newly minted or veteran.
  
  SPL is oozing with creativity (e.g. forum members referred to as Students and Super Junior members as Professors!) and over a short period of time has gained the reputation of being one of the most acclaimed international forums for ELFs. SPL keeps making changes for the better and continues to carry out credible projects for Super Junior and ELFs. SPL is a labor of love, and I salute the people behind it, who are such dedicated hard-workers.
