Super Junior's Kim Heechul revealed the reason why he renewed his contract with SM Entertainment.

MBC's entertainment show 'Radio Star', which aired on the 27th, featured a special feature titled 'Suju, it's a good thing you don't fight' starring Super Junior's Kim Hee-chul, Leeteuk, Yesung, and Eunhyuk.

On this day, Kim Hee-chul said that Super Junior was in danger of disbanding ahead of its 20th anniversary, and said, "Our contract renewal was negotiated last year. Donghae and Eunhyuk started a company, and Kyuhyun went to another company."

He continued, "I talked to the members a lot and told them to leave if they wanted to leave. Even after we left, we talked about helping each other. But Leeteuk and Yesung were different. They all wanted a renewal of their contracts. One day, we went into a meeting and the atmosphere was very tense." recalled.

In response, Yesung confessed, "Only the two of us wanted to renew our contract," and Leeteuk said, "Since we have been active as singers for 20 years, we decided to try becoming a producer born in the 80s after producer Park Jin-young." He added, "I will do 100% to become a producer. “I met with over 100 representatives. I was trying to make the project a success,” he explained.

Why did Kim Hee-chul, who was looking for a new company, end up renewing his contract with his existing agency, SM? Kim Hee-chul said, "It was SM that debuted me, and I ended up renewing my contract because I thought it was teacher Lee Soo-man. Teacher Lee Soo-man also said he liked it a lot. But after a while, an article came out saying that the teacher was leaving," making people laugh.

However, his relationship with Lee Soo-man is still strong. Heechul Kim said, “I recently went on a trip to Japan with my teacher.”

Kim Hee-chul also said, "I was talking with Eun-hyuk in the car, and the question came up, 'Would Hee-chul be a good match if he also got an antenna?'" and "Kyu-hyun said he wasn't, Hee-chul said he wouldn't be a match, and the company couldn't handle it," causing laughter.
