Super Junior Heechul 'Disses' Himself: 'Drinking and cursing on a live broadcast, I despise those people'
On July 4, Super Junior Heechul garnered attention after indirectly apologizing and self-reflecting for his recent controversy of drinking and cursing in a live broadcast.
On this day, Kim Heechul appeared as the special guest on the recently uploaded episode of "Salon Drip," a YouTube content posted by channel TEO and led by MC Jang Doyeon.

During the broadcast, MC Jang and Heechul dished on his past rumors and controversies, as well as his status as a "social butterfly" in the music and entertainment industry.
In particular, when asked:
"How do you manage your personal connections?"
Heechul replied and explained:
"I think it's important not to manage personal connections. If you insist on setting up a date, like, 'Let's meet each other,' or 'Let's do something,' we get tired of each other.
If we don't have anything to expect from each other, we don't seem to have anything to be sad about."
Regarding his position as a heavy drinker among K-pop idols, Jang Doyeon asked:
"Did you quit drinking?"
Heechul, who was a bit perplexed by the question, playfully responded:
"I should have noticed when you said your job was a BJ. What was the question?"
He then apologized to fans, saying:
"I couldn't stop drinking. I promised my fans that I would reduce alcohol. I rarely drink now, but how can I stop drinking at all? I drink quietly for short."
However, he showed his self-reflection by dissing himself.
"When did I do a drinking broadcast? In fact, those who drink alcohol, curse profanely and say something on a live broadcast, I despise those people."
Super Junior Heechul Indirectly Mentions Recent Drinking & Cursing Controversy
Apparently, the comment was an indirect hit to his issue, which arose earlier in February.
At the time, Kim Heechul caused a lot of controversy after swearing while drunk on YouTuber Choi Koon's live broadcast.
During this live broadcast, Heechul and the YouTuber were enjoying some drinks when they suddenly decided to discuss social issues. Heechul who was drunk mentioned a controversial women's online community and complained about how he was criticized for not donating money even though he has been doing that secretly.
He continued to criticize South Koreans who started boycotting Japanese products in 2019 and cursed at them, calling them "weirdos" and "stupid."
While Choi Koon tried to stop the idol from swearing at a certain group of people by trying to turn off his mic, Heechul would eventually turn it back on and continue talking about it.
Following that, Heechul eventually apologized to his fans but remained critical about saying sorry to the women's site and for talking about school violence.
