Super Junior's Kim Heechul and Leeteuk to Unite as '83z' Unit
Kim Heechul and Leeteuk of the group Super Junior have teased new unit activities. In the 'SUPER JUNIOR-83z' episode released through the YouTube channel 'Kim Heechul's Chuka Chuka Chu' on the 16th, the two directly revealed the background of their unit formation. This unit has drawn reactions from members that it is quite novel, piquing the curiosity of fans.
Kim Heechul has solidified his position as a sub-vocalist and sub-rapper by participating in all activities from Super Junior's 1st studio album 'Super Junior05' to the 12th album 'Super Junior25'. Unit activities are also another new challenge for him, as he has expanded his musical spectrum through various project teams such as Super Junior-T, Kim Heechul & Kim Jungmo, and Space Cowards.
His activities in variety shows are also notable. As a fixed member of Knowing Bros, he has showcased his direct way of speaking and excellent ability to perform girl group choreography, and through My Little Old Boy, he has built a friendly image by revealing his daily life and health management process. Combined with the sharp hosting skills he showed during his time as an MC on Radio Star, he is demonstrating a presence that spans both the music and broadcasting industries.
Proof Shot with Hyoyeon, the Strong Friendship Between Girls' Generation Seniors and Juniors
Along with the news of the unit activities, the updates on his colleagues shared by Kim Heechul also draw attention. Kim Heechul posted a selfie taken with Girls' Generation's Hyoyeon and Super Junior's Leeteuk on his social media. In the photo, Kim Heechul gazed at the camera with his characteristic relaxed smile in an indoor space, while Hyoyeon, standing in the middle, created a cheerful atmosphere by making V-signs with both hands. Leeteuk also proved the close relationship of the three by waving his hand.
Kim Heechul added the text "I met Girls' Generation's Hyoyeon sunbae. I also support Hyolee-soo's activities" to the post, conveying his respect and support for his senior. This meeting drew even more attention as it took place just before the debut of Super Junior-83z.
Meanwhile, besides group activities, Kim Heechul has steadily varied his musical color through various projects. The key to their future activities will be what kind of musical results the new unit '83z' will present and how they will differ from previous unit activities.
