Super Junior's Kim Hee-chul Reveals Why He Hasn't Owned a Car for Over a Decade

Super Junior's Kim Hee-chul recently shared on the YouTube channel 'Study King Genius Hong Jin-kyung' why he hasn't owned a car for over 10 years, citing concerns about drinking and driving.

On October 19, the YouTube channel 'Study King Genius Hong Jin-kyung' released a video titled “20-Year Idol Veterans Shindong and Hee-chul's Epic Revelations Leave Hong Jin-kyung in Stitches (Fight Stories, Faker).”

In the video, Kim Hee-chul candidly admitted, “People say celebrities should find their original mindset, but I shouldn't. I was too arrogant as a trainee. I would go to nightclubs and then confess everything to my trainer, writing a reflection paper saying, 'I don't know what I did wrong, but I'm writing this because I was told to.'”
He further explained, “I drink a lot, and the reason I don't own a car is that I'm afraid of causing an accident after drinking. I couldn't give up drinking, so I gave up driving. I haven't had a car for over 10 years.”

Meanwhile, Super Junior is set to hold their world tour encore concert 'Super Show 10 SJ-Core in Seoul' from November 3 to 5 at the KSPO Dome in Olympic Park, Seoul.
