On October 3rd, JTBC aired a new episode of 'Ssul Jeon' in which Heechul spoke up about celebrity dating.
Heechul revealed that people thought he was one of the main people involved in the creation of couples such as the Shin Se Kyung and Jonghyun couple; Hara and Junhyung couple; and most recently, the Choiza and Sulli couple. He denied any connection to these couples, saying he is unable to even manage his own relationships.
In relation to the Choiza and Sulli dating scandal, Heechul replied, "When that dating rumor came out, I was in Japan and received about forty missed phone calls, some from reporters. Some friends asked, 'Weren't you dating Sulli?'" He explained how he got a text from Sulli, who was about to explain the scandal when he stopped her saying he had to film for 'Ssul Jeon' on Monday and they were definitely going to bring her up as a topic of discussion. He did not want her to tell him anything so he could honestly go on the show without knowing any relevant information.
In relation to how SM Entertainment copes with these situations, Heechul said, "Truthfully, our agency handles dating rumors really well. Usually, they do not act upon the rumors, but this time, it's true they were a bit shaken by it."
He also said, "If it's true that they're dating, it's something to congratulate them for. They're adults, a man and a woman, so SM and Lee Soo Man would warmly welcome dating."
He also talked about fans' reactions to celebrity dating. He said, "There's no doubt that fans raise idols. That's why I think fans feel betrayed."
He revealed that some idols involved in scandals came to him and said, "Because I was popular, I sold a lot of fans, but after my dating rumor, my fan sales decreased by 75%." And they weren't talking about the fans you were probably thinking about, as a joke they said it as the fans that you wave around to keep yourself cool.
