Recently, an online community board garnered attention for a past video clip of Super Junior’s Heechul revealing why he changed his number so often.
The clip comes from a video from actor Jang Keun Seuk’s Youtube channel.
To be honest, when I saw you, I really wanted to ask you: Why are you changing your phone number so often? Did you borrow money from someone?
— Jang Keun Seuk
To this, Heechul jokingly replied, “Should we call it the life of a star?”
To prove it, Jang Keun Seuk shared all the numbers saved under Kim Heechul on his phone.
No, I’ll show you. On my phone, Kim Heechul’s phone number is saved on my phone. This is really nonsense. I will search for ‘Kim Heecul’. It’s not eight, but it’s nine. There are so many Kim Heechuls.
— Jang Keun Seuk
Usually, I went to the mobile carrier and changed my number, but someone would contact me right away. They would say, ‘Heechul, you changed your number.’ So I have no choice but to change my number frequently.

When Jang asked if it was a fan, Heechul responded that they were extreme fans, also known as sasaengs.
I find it so surprising. There are so many good-looking and young idols, but some still love me so passionately. It’s a little bitembarrassing now. In the past, I thought this was a given. But now, when they cheer me on, it’s a little embarrassing.

No matter the case, fans should understand the boundaries set between artist and fan.
