You will start work as a civil service personnel tomorrow. You must be healthy! I’m looking forward to your cool return 2 years later! I can feel that although you’re cheerful on the outside, you’re actually very worried about the future. I think that you worried about your leg the most right? You must receive treatment for it well. Everyone in the training centre, who spent time with the universe big star, is looking forward to seeing a more handsome artiste! Oh!! You forgot to give me an autographed CD.. Hmm.. I will remember it. Haha. Next year, which Suju member will come? Haha. Will he become my team member… Should I go and apply to be Suju’s dedicated team leader? Haha. Kim Heechul, fighting!

Q1) What kind of training are you doing, now? A) Well, now, we’re doing guerilla tactics training. When we’re moving from one place to another or when we have to overcome ground obstacles, guerilla tactics is necessary in a way that we need to be safe and quick. We cross over a log, or we jump from a high place, and these are all about guerilla tactics.
Q2) You have only one week of training left. How do you feel?
A) Honestly, when I walked into Korea Army Training Center (aka. KATC), I said “I will complete 4 weeks of training, and I will work as a public service worker.” However, I was a bit worried about the whole training.
KATC was a definitely strange place for me, and my leg was injured. So, I thought, ‘well, can I complete all trainings safely?’ and ‘can I get along well with other recruits in my platoon?’
And, I was little worried that whether I will be able to communicate well with squad and platoon leaders or not. Everything was so awkward. It was even awkward to see myself on mirror, and it was hard to finish my sentences with ‘Da,’ ‘Na,’ Gga.’ Fortunately, I was quickly used to the strange rule. Well, this is just one of characteristics of army we can easily expect.
Before everyone actually had to say ‘good-bye’ to his parents and friends, squad and platoon leaders seemed pretty nice and kind to us. They even talked to us with a nice manner.
I expected squad and platoon leaders to be aggressive and tough as soon as we become recruits. However, they aren’t too bad after all. I want to tell everyone, who is planning to join the army, that “don’t worry too much, days in this camp aren’t too bad, and I get along with other recruits really well.”
Our squad and platoon leaders are frequently asking us, “are you sick?” or “do you have any issues that limit you from training?” They are caring us a lot, so I didn’t have much troubles from training.
Q3) What were you mostly worried about, before you joined the training camp?
A) Yes, well, in fact, I had a surgery nailing seven iron cores on my knee, so I was worried a lot about having tough trainings.
Honestly, I, as a singer (or public figure), felt that I don’t want to be looked at a type of person who makes a fuss about military service. That’s why I ran more, and I excessively forced myself to train harder. Even though I was told to walk on crutches, I questioned myself whether I should use them or not.
People around me told me that ‘you’re the same recruit as others, so if you have physical issues, you can walk on crutches.’ It was just me that I felt little guilt to be sick as a public figure. But, whoever will join the army shouldn’t be worry about being sick or having an issue. You just need to say, “I have a trouble.”
There is nothing to worry about. Join the army without worries.
Q4) Why did you put photos of So-Hee from Wonder Girls on your cabinet?
A) Oh! Since I joined the army, many fans sent out many photos of girl groups. I received so many photos of them. In fact, girl groups are the best celebrities in the training camp.
Girl groups give all recruits psychological energies, for sure. I remember, before I became one of training recruits, I think I said I am one of So-Hee’s fans. So, many Super Junior fans sent me a lot of photos of So-Hee from Wonder Girls. I have this much photos of her. Squad and platoon leaders and I talked about this, so I was allowed to put her photos on my cabinet. Isn’t she cute? Also, So-Hee’s photos are special because my fans sent them to me, not that I have crush on her.
Q5) What was the most impressive training you remember?
A) This is also special because I have an opportunity to do this, only in this training camp.
I hope that I only have to use a firearm in the training camp. It is good for all of us if we don’t have to use firearms at all in the future. Of course, soldiers in active service have to use them though. While I have used M16 rifle at shooting training, I felt that shooting scenes in the movies are little fabricated. Bang! M16 kicks a lot.
I had a quite interesting story from pre-shooting training. In order to count my scores on a target, a score paper is fixed with rubber bands. I should have hit the target, but I accidently cut off the rubber bands, which were very hard to hit.
As soon as I cut off the rubber bands with a bullet, our company leader said, “that’s something only Super Junior can do, no one actually did that before!”
In the actual shooting training, I had a pretty good score. There are 200m and 250, aren’t there? I passed the shooting test on the first round. Isn’t it cool?
How much score I got, it’s for you to imagine!
Q6) Then, what was the toughest training? A) I think 30km march in full gear was the toughest, but the most memorable training. I thought seeing landscape at night was pretty graceful. I’m usually busy working in Seoul, so I had no time to watch night sky. While I was marching with other recruits, we asked questions such as “what did you do before you came here?” and “how is it like to be a singer?” to get to know each other better. I thought of my family and Super Junior members, too, while I was marching.
I never thought that stars look so pretty. By looking at night sky, I had lots of thoughts about my loving friends and relatives. Although we had 4 weeks of tough training, I do sincerely respect those who go through 5 weeks of training and all other forces (army, air force, navy and marine).
Q7) What give you vital energies while you are training, here?
A) Well, of course, fans’ letters are the best. Although I received a lot of fan letters before I came here, receiving fan letters as a recruit feels so much different. Here, I’m hunger for letters, so I ask, “are there any letters for me?” I’m so thankful to all my fans for letters, but I’m so sorry that I’m not in the position to write you back.
Especially, parents’ letters…while I was reading them, I said to myself, ‘wow, time really flew by.’ Also, Sunny and Seo-Hyeon from Girls’ Generation wrote me letters. I’m sure they are busy with working…So, I want to tell them that thanks so much! Tae-Yeon from Girls’ Generation sent me signatured photos of her with comments. Thanks a lot! Although I’m spending 4 weeks of training here, I feel so loved by many people. Sully from F(x) wrote me a letter, too! I should take care of them after I get done with the service. Outside of the army, I was a little chic and naughty entertainer to fans and friends including Girls’ Generation and F(x). I really should be generous to them! Ha Ha.
Q7) Last words for your fans…?
A) Hello! I’m the world super star, Kim Hee-Chul. I’m done with today’s training, and I will be returning to my camp.
Well, thank you so much, my fans, for your endless love. I love you all.
Chung-Seong!
And, my platoon leader allowed me to do this. This is the only, and the special version of good-bye to all my fans.
Super Junior’s Kim Heechul speaks about the reason why he couldn’t join the military as a full time soldier and instead had to settle for a public service worker position.
Kim Heechul’s last ‘Radio Star’ episode before enlisting in the military was aired on the 14th.
On this day, Kim Heechul spoke about the criticism he’s been receiving about him not joining the military as a full time soldier. He stated, “As a member of Super Junior, I used to get lots of criticism for being a poor dancer. However, after it was ruled that I wasn’t qualified to join the military as a full time solider, the same people have been on my case for being too good of a dancer”.
Kim Heechul continued, “I was involved in a huge car accident 4 years back. My left leg was shattered due to the accident and I had many steel rods inserted in my leg” and he explained why he wasn’t medically fit to serve as a full time soldier.
To explain this further. All healthy and able Korean males are bound under constitutional duties to serve in the military for up to 25 months depending on the branch of the military. People with medical issues are either exempt completely or they are instead ordered to serve their military terms as a public service worker (Civil service).

TVXQ’s Choikang Changmin has proved that he’s a devotee of Super Junior’s Kim Hee Chul.
On the 12th, Super Junior’s Kim Hee Chul introduced Choikang Changmin as a ‘fervent Kim Hee Chul devotee’ on his personal Twitter account.
Kim Hee Chul said, “Shim Changmin has bright and untainted eyes that a devotee of this being should have. If you shorten what you call a true Kim Hee Chul devotee into four syllables, it’s Shindorim Yeok(Station).”
In the photo that was posted with the tweet, Choikang Changmin is seen staring into the camera with wide eyes as he holds a CD titled ‘Baby Hee game’. As the cover of the gaming CD that Choikang Changmin is holding features the steamed bun character that Kim Hee Chul likes to use, it can be predicted that either he or his fans made it.
Netizens commented, “He really is the universe’s top star. Even TVXQ are his devotees”, “The CD makes me laugh!” and “I’m left speechless by Choikang Changmin’s beauty.”
This week will be the last week for Super Junior’s Kim Heechul to be doing promotional work for ‘Mr Simple’.
It has already been known that due to military enlistment Super Junior’s two members, Kim Heechul and Leeteuk, would not be able to do ‘Mr Simple’s activities for a long time. Recently, SM-E stated, “Due to Kim Heechul’s enlistment, this will be the last week for Mr. Simple promotions.”
Heechul told his fans, “I’m very grateful to fans for loving me in the past 6 years. But, I will not ask you to wait for me. Instead, for those who love me, please support me again after I come back and start the new activities.”
Heechul’s military enlistment shows his loyality towards his country. Other SJ members are very proud of his decision.
Heechul described his feeling for his band mates saying, “I am also very thankful to SJ members. They told and wrote me a direct letter saying, “Hyung, it can’t be if it’s not you (without you).” I’m so thankful they let me know about that.” He jokingly added, “Despite the fact that I will be absent, I still believe that they (meant SJ members) would have a good lead.”
Moreover, Heechul said that he will take four week training from Nohn San. Afterwards, he will work as a public service employee at Sung Dong District. He said that due to his back injury he will work as a public service employee instead of serving in the army.
