Heechul says his ideal type is still Sohee + reveals he'd date his 'We Got Married' co-star



Heechul was a special guest on the October 3 installment of SBS's radio program 'Park So Hyun's Love Game'.

On this day, he confirmed that Wonder Girls member Sohee was still his ideal type, saying, "I have seen many other girl group members, but there is no one like Sohee."  It is true that Sohee has a very unique charm and charisma.  


Park So Hyun revealed that EXO's Xiumin was known to look very similar to Sohee.  She said they really did look a lot alike in person.  She went even further, saying she discovered someone who looked like a combination of Xiumin and Sohee.  This turned out to be none other than Ladies' Code's maknae, Zuny.

Heechul also revealed later on that he considered joining MBC's 'We Got Married' and even had a meeting with the production crew.  He said that if he were on the program, he would probably end up dating whoever played his wife on the show.  If they were to break up, the show could either fire him or get a new girl.  He jokingly said he would probably be greatly criticized. 

When asked about Super Junior activities, Heechul said, "I don't know when we'll be making our comeback, but we are continuing to practice.  It's hard since I haven't practiced dancing in a while."

Check out the video above to watch him on the radio program!  He talks about Sohee around 4:19 and 'We Got Married' around 9:18.



Super Junior's Heechul reveals he quit smoking + underwent surgery to fix his nose during his time away



On October 3rd, Heechul appeared on SBS's radio program 'Park So Hyun's Love Game'. Here he revealed many different things about himself, surprising some of his fans whom he hadn't been able to update as much during his time away from the entertainment scene.



During one part of the show, he revealed, "During my break from activities, I succeeded in quitting smoking." When asked what prompted him to make the decision, Heechul said, "I've been thinking I should quit and around that time, a person I had my eye on said that it'd be good for me to stop smoking."

But what really convinced him to quit was the status of his gums. He warned others who smoke as he said, "Once your gums start changing colors, they don't go back to how they used to be. Normally they would be pink, but after you smoke a long time, they start turning purple. It's not attractive. Sometimes you'll even see girls who look so pretty on the outside and then they'll smile and you'll see purple gums. I started noticing that my gums started look kind of purple. It's not attractive at all, so I recommend quitting."  

In addition, while he was answering questions sent in by fans, he answered "no" to the comment that read "Kim Heechul is completely natural, he's never had any type of procedure or surgery". He explained, "My nose got broken before so it was crooked. While I was working as a public service officer, I got surgery to correct it. But the bridge of my nose became a little flatter than before. The doctor told me that because that part was where it broke, if I wanted to return my nose bridge to its original height, I'd have to get fillers or silicone injected. But I was scared about doing that, so I didn't." 



Heechul thinks only Sungmin and Jaejoong are prettier than himself?



Super Junior's Heechul appeared on SBS's FM 'Park So Hyun's love Game' on October 3rd.  On this day, he revealed that his ideal type is still Sohee and he would probably date his 'We Got Married' partner.


Heechul, who is known for being quite a pretty boy, also revealed that he thought Super Junior's Sungmin and JYJ's Jaejoong were the only male celebrities prettier than himself.

He explained, "Sungmin is pretty because he's very cute; Jaejoong looks like a haughty cat."

He further said, "I never met a woman prettier than I am.  I don't really get the concept of 'pretty.'  Maybe it's because I hold my face to be the standard, but I rarely looked at a girl and thought she was pretty."

Heechul speaks up about celebrity dating, denies hooking up Shin Se Kyung / Jonghyun & Hara / Junhyung


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.
