Heechul's Interview in February Issue of GQ Magazine

[sequinstilettos.livejournal.com]

Highlights:

"I don't act according to how my company wants me to act or how my fans want me to act. I only act how I want to act. The thing I'm thankful for is that my fans respect my tendency and the company thinks that I'm a free soul and let me be."

"The reason I'm in Super Junior is because I love my members and there are fans who love Super Junior. I don't want to betray them so I work hard at concerts. My interest in singing has faded long ago."

"I really hate sasaeng fans. I'm thankful to fans that quietly buy our albums and visit us at our concerts."

"We're number 1 in Taiwan for 38 weeks...Next time, let's do the photoshoot in China, I'm like a god in China."

"Ah, we've been on good terms with Mnet lately. I think it would be fun to do a Super Junior reality show."

A really honest interview. A tad long but worth a read.

I'm like a god in China.

Heechul, never change. xD

"My interest in singing has faded long ago." Well, I figured but it's still kinda depressing to hear.

[xxwasurenaide.livejournal.com]

:/ i agree. but it's good to hear that he has the intention of standing by his members til the very end.

If there was a 10 Most Fascinating People in K-pop, he'd definitely be on that list...

Lots of good stuff in this interview but "My interest in singing has faded long ago." really stood out to me. It takes a lot of guts to say that.

[flowmarine.livejournal.com]

he'd definitely be on top i think~

[plantbottle.livejournal.com]

I think that if he could elaborate about said friend, he would. But after all, he was told by the company to speak curtly, so...

sigh, that issue is still so confusing.

Kim Heechul, let me swim in the goodness of your brain matter ♥

[tuski-no-hime.livejournal.com]

as always! he amazes me more and more each day~!! i have tremendous respect for Heenim!!! glad that you are happy being who you are and not what someone wants you to be!!

[strawberry-efeu.livejournal.com]

Ah, this is the article the controversial comments came from.

I like his view on fans, especially the ones who are hateful. It's nice to think that he wouldn't support hateful behavior from people who call themselves his fans.

based on this interview, I kinda figured Hee's quite polarizing isn't he? but imo he's a fantastic person and I respect him for just being him.

[takteng-kamote.livejournal.com]

I think all outspoken people are. Esp. in kpop.

[kuchiutsushi.livejournal.com]

No matter how far I stray from Kpop, Suju, or even Heechul himself, I am always going to love him with all of my heart because this is who he is and always has been and always will be and I love this person to death. <3

[simplyobessed.livejournal.com]

THIS EXACTLY FOR ME TOO! :)

[eleclya111.livejournal.com]

Oh how I love this perfect selfish asshole~ ♥

GQ has some really great interviews

[anconeous.livejournal.com]

Awesome interview is awesome. AS ALWAYS. This is exactly why I loved Heechul from the start. He never gives off the fake, manufactured idol vibe even if his appearance totally screams it. He tells you how it is because he can and he will.

I loved his answer for the "what if you were in YG or JYP?" question. I also liked how he answered why he's only been in long family dramas. It makes sense why he chose to do those shows instead of shows like "Dream High."

LMAO at his comment about MNet and SME being friendly lately.

[sundrunk.livejournal.com]

seems genuine.. which you never see in kpop

[sinfulcherries.livejournal.com]

amazing <3

"I'm going to watch Last Godfather with Sulli. Since Sulli is a minor, we don't have a lot of choice."

So many quotable quotes! I'm having a blast :D

[initialc.livejournal.com]

SO LONG, but TOTALLY WORTH IT. I'm a Heechul stan though. Fucking awesome Heechul is awesome.

I enjoy his honesty. And I liked what he said about his interest in singing has faded. Some people don't get that it's still a job. You can't love your job forever, that's why you do different things. Heechul certainly does that.

[baptismtonight.livejournal.com]

This bitch.......I love him.

[cascadingascent.livejournal.com]

Genuinely enjoyed it. Heechul's a good man, worth the read.

[dream-raine.livejournal.com]

YES SUPER JUNIOR REALITY SHOW!!!

This is an awesome interview and awesome translation!!! Very mature answers with some crazy moments. Heechul has grown alot.

[suzukisan.livejournal.com]

I love to read his interviews because he's always extremely honest in everything he's talking about. The Super Junior part however, even though it broke my heart a little, I felll happy that he doesn't pretend to like something and just tells us the truth.

but heechul, you're a goddess in china lol

[purinchun.livejournal.com]

LOL yeah i was like thinking "but... the psycho HanChul shippers in China see you as a goddess. Geng is the god" lol

[sya-fhya.livejournal.com]

i really enjoy the interview overall.

i wonder if there's a girl idol that's actually as much of a ~free soul~ as heechul but she's either too scared to be herself once she debuted or the companies aren't as nice to her because well.. she's a girl.

[himitsu-no.livejournal.com]

Oh how I love Heechul.

Reading this, I'm really struck with how perfectly AB he is XD.

[sundrunk.livejournal.com]

ooh what are ABs like? I'm ignorant when it comes to this whole blood type thing that Korea seems to be obsessed about.

I'm AB, too, so I'm curious *-*

I am in a new city feeling totally out of sorts and... the content of this post made me feel so much better. Thank you forever for existing, sir.
