Super Junior is in danger of disbanding after leaving SM
On the night of Wednesday the 27th, MBC's 'Radio Star' (planned by Kang Young-sun/directed by Kim Myeong-yeop and Hwang Yoon-sang) will feature a special feature titled 'Suju, you're lucky if you don't fight' featuring Super Junior's Kim Hee-chul, Leeteuk, Yesung, and Eunhyuk.
Kim Hee-chul, who went from a self-proclaimed 'space star' to 'space star', visits 'Las' for the first time in a long time. He said that he gained something valuable from his appearance on 'Las' four years ago, and mentioned the fact that he formed a relationship with professional gamer Faker, who was a guest at the time. He then expressed regret, saying, “I have nothing to gain today,” and then pointed at Eunhyuk and drew attention by saying, “That friend is not SM,” drawing attention from the start with his outspoken talk.
Kim Hee-chul confessed that he felt at risk of disbanding as Super Junior was negotiating a contract renewal with SM last year ahead of its 20th debut anniversary next year. Donghae and Eunhyuk started a company after breaking up with SM, Kyuhyun moved to Antenna, and the rest except Leeteuk and Yesung were contemplating their future. Kim Hee-cheol described the atmosphere at the time, saying, “The atmosphere of the meeting was bloody…” and made everyone burst into laughter by recalling, “I renewed my contract with teacher Lee Soo-man, and he left.”
He said that the youngest member, Kyuhyun, changed after going to the antenna. “I was talking with Eunhyuk in the car, and Eunhyuk asked, ‘Would Heechul have gotten along well if he had also gone to the antenna?’ But in less than a second, (Kyuhyun) said, ‘Heechul doesn’t fit the antenna at all. “Even our company said, ‘Heechul can’t handle me,’” he said, looking disappointed. He continued, “After meeting ‘Las’, Kyuhyun became huge. “It is true that I made a profit thanks to ‘Las’,” he said, emphasizing that ‘Las’ contributed greatly to Kyuhyun’s success as an entertainer.
Kim Hee-chul also explained why he feels that Super Junior is not as good as before, saying that in the past, the members often fought, but now there is not much to fight, so the episodes are depleted. He then made people laugh by promising, “I will fight with the members and create a fight episode” if he sings on “Las” next year, the 20th anniversary of Super Junior’s debut.
Meanwhile, Kim Hee-chul mentioned the past when he dominated Cyworld's popularity with his heavenly visuals, saying, "When I debuted, I weighed 56 kg, but now I weigh 70 kg." At that time, wherever I went, I naturally received people's attention and care, so I took an arrogant attitude, saying, "I thought it was natural." MC Yoo Se-yoon responded to Kim Hee-cheol's past story of living a life of a 'no-paddy' with no tomorrow. “It’s something I can’t even talk about these days,” he said, sticking his tongue out.
In addition, the dark history of Kim Hee-chul, who was loved and envied by everyone for his outstanding visuals, was revealed, and he wanted to erase it immediately. Kim Hee-chul shuddered and complained of pain, saying, “I feel like I’m going to throw up,” making people even more curious about what was going on.
You can check it out on 'Radio Star', which will be broadcast at 10:30 pm on the 27th.
