I think I’ve become accustomed to reading about the various evils of SM Entertainment because Heechul’s message about his loyalty to the company threw me for a loop. Whether you love him or hate him, he is definitely the most individualistic member of Super Junior. I always saw him as the member who walked to the beat of his own drum, was more than just a bit selfish, and seriously weird. Despite the controversies with SME at the root of it all, Heechul’s commemorative entry in his fancafe was, for the lack of a better expression, a nice change of pace. Instead of spouting off about slave contracts and the serious lack of humanity of entertainment companies, he talks about loyalty and shows real fondness for the agency that helped make him a star.

Heechul’s Fancafe Entry
2010.11.08, 02:37 AM
File under “5 주 년”
5th Anniversary
Although I’ve already debuted over 5 years,
But through this 5 years together with SJ
There have been a lot that happened
I can only say “Thank you”
Not only to the fans, to the members as well,
of course, the fans and members should thank me too
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
As what I’ve said on today’s broadcast (on Youngstreet Radio)
Everyone(members) had already renewed the contract
Just like what I always say, the company is nice and I also get along fine with the members
(They) let me do whatever I want to do and (they) don’t force me to do what I don’t want to do
Even sometimes when I say some impolite words, they don’t scold me;and also with my (bad) temper hahahaha
I said that I want to act and (they) let me go for filming
I said that I want to be in variety shows and (they) let me go to the variety shows
I said that I want to be a DJ and (they) let me to be a DJ
Because I’m now an MC, you will be able to see variety Hee soon
Even though because of the amazing results I’ve produced in this period of time, I’ve also been caught (by other companies)
Honestly, where else that I can find a company like this……
When I return back with a tired body, there are members at the dorm who would welcome me back
When I wake up after sleeping, there are members who would eat with me
During shedules, the members who chats and teases along with me
When I finished showering, I shouted “Ya! Give me the towel!” Just with one sentence like this, the members will bring me a towel
Even when laughing, crying, getting angry, playing or even getting into trouble, the members are together
etc……
I’m always very loyal
“Of course, a real man should be loyal”
Anyway, we can only live our life once(,) living on by being loyal straightforwardly isn’t bad
When drinking, the people around me will ask
“You are so loyal, what is left of you?”
I would reply
“You meet with me, what is left of you?”
This is what I want to do so thats why I do it, I like to do it thats why I do it
Nobody can control and replace my life
Recently, I feel really happy to live this life
A comfortable feeling to the soul? A sense of firmness?
Ever since these kind of feelings appeared
The times where I laugh becomes more
I want to say to everyone:
I hope that when you see me, you will also feel the happiness
Just like how I’m happy, you’ll be happy too
Only when you’re happy, I’m also happy
“Because I like Kim Hee Chul, I feel happiness in many things.”
If things like this can increase, that will be good
I didn’t use any honorifics to say all these so if you feel unhappy, please understand
When I started to write this using formal language, the feeling was very awkward, so I rewrote this
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
I hope that you can be happy because I’m happy!!
