A popular K-Pop idol recently addressed the rumors surrounding him.
Recently, Super Junior’s Heechul appeared on MBC’s Radio Star and mentioned the gay rumors.
“Jang Geun Suk, Lee Hongki, and I have similar personalities. That’s why there were so many gay rumors about Geun Suk and me.
Then rumors about me dating Mithra Jin surfaced, becoming this huge ordeal.”
— Heechul
He spoke about his friendship with Mithra Jin.
We were really close. He was the first friend I became close with early in our debut. Mithra was much taller than I was and had a macho personality. My hair was long when I hung out with him.
— Heechul
At that time, his relationship with MIthra Jin was really special.
When we met, it was so serious that Mithra Jin kept it a secret from the Epik High members. One day, Tablo caught me, and he thought it was really weird.

To this, host Kim Gura joked, “Why did Mithra Jin hide it? He must have liked you back then. He probably doesn’t now, though.”
Heechul also revealed why he liked Mithra Jin.
He was the complete opposite of me, and when we met, he listened to my stories with great care. We also had the same car, and I used to ride in his passenger seat. He would drive, and I’d take care of him.

Heechul also spoke about his early debut days, when he was recognized as a “pretty boy.”
It’s a bit embarrassing, but when I first debuted, Lee Jun Ki was a huge star, and coincidentally, we both rose to fame as pretty men. Before that, it was all about nice bodies like Rain and Kwon Sang Woo.
