Heechul cameos on I Am Legend
by | September 19, 2010 | 52 Comments

For all you Super Junior fans out there: Monday’s episode of I Am Legend will feature a special appearance by idol star and sometimes actor Kim Heechul.

In the episode (the 15th), the ladies of the drama’s Comeback Madonna Band visit a radio station, as guests on Lee Sook-young’s “Power FM” program. Hwa-ja (played by Hong Ji-min) is the first to spot Heechul, who plays a radio DJ but is essentially playing himself. Hwa-ja asks for his autograph, at which point he recognizes the group and declares himself their fan. He then invites them on his own program, proving that the band is making serious inroads into their career.

The producers stated that they wanted to convey the reality of the band’s rising popularity, and therefore made the request of Heechul, who readily agreed.

Heechul may be most famous as an idol singer and pop-star provocateur, but he has several drama roles over the past few years, which include Loving You a Thousand Times, Golden Bride, and one of my personal favorites, Bad Family. (All were SBS shows, as is I Am Legend.)

    Awh, Heechul. He’s not my favourite Suju member, but I’ve got a soft spot for him. Anybody with his personality does, actually. :/ Can be coarse and rude and cold, but when you really get to know him/become friends with him, he’s the best and loyalest guy you can get.
    Ahem.

    I might have to watch this episode. >_> Which is, I guess, the point of a cameo. *sigh*

      Eh? Did HeeChul act like so cold and rude to show his true personality, huh?

      I’d love to get know of him with his personality and become so good friend and get alot of love! (IF IF I met him, heh!)

    Thank you very much for the fast updating. :X

    May I ask whether I could share this article on Heechul-petals.com blog (heecat.com) & forum? :)

      lol.

    • 4.2 ItsJeswee

      hahaha… he surely is! But that’s why we love him.

    LOL… i’m not officially an ELF and heechul is not even my fav member but enough to go watch this ep live.. i was about to watch SSKS live but i guess now, it’ll have to wait. giant as well…
    haha. he may not be the best actor but how can you not love this guy… especially when his personality overshadow his looks.. now, THAT’s saying something… XD
    i’m now grinning like an idiot…

    I love this dude. I totally fell for him in Golden Bride. He was great in that.

    • 6.1 tupai

      is Golden Bride a good show? i’m interested in the cross-cultural storyline and Song Chang-eui but I’m still scarred from my first long drama experience (Chae Rim’s Job Horrendously Done).

      • 6.1.1 v

        it’s surprisingly a good show, as in it was not a fluke it was popular at the time. the main girl was slightly annoying at first but you’ll get use to her… she’s actually cute. if uve watched baker king, it’s Mi Sun.
        the highlight for me when i watched it was heechul’s adorable love story but all the other arcs are really engaging as well.

        • 6.1.1.1 tupai

          thanks! hmm i might give it a try then… add it to my growing wishlist.

  7. blue

    heechul!!!!yeah..he really is a diva. but i do love him very much. there is something in him that makes people love him. ^^

  8. dramafreak19

    Damn your smile, Heechul-ah.

  9. yui

    oppppaaaa…hwaiting…

    i wish to see all suju members there..hahaha

    Awwww, I’ve been content with just reading recaps but I now have to watch this episode for a dose of Heechul’s prettiness. I really love his personally and his wit. I got to spend some time (albeit a few minutes. a short scene) to see SuJu’s Cinderella. After all, he’s the reason I got started on my K-Pop addiction.

  11. 11 Porcelain

    Mad happy crazy hype up!!!! Thanks JB…

    Probably gonna watch this episode first just for this!

    IRL… Heechul’s radio show is really a hoot… he is so unpredictable and its really fun from the viewable radio I see sometimes!

    I think he is also friendly with Kim Jung Eun whom he teases before for not “admitting” her into his AB bloodgroup the “Chocoball”… ^^

    I think he is close to “Hwa Ja” too prev due to being in the musical Xanadu…

    Can’t wait to see it!!!

  12. 12 diadda

    crap, just when i wasn’t going to watch this anymore…heechul makes me go back again :)

  13. 13 JD

    Loooooooooooove him!

    • 13.1 jojo

      Ditto!

  14. 14 Lemon

    Heehee I love Heechul. He was the 2nd Kpop idol I loved! …The first being Kim Hyun Joong cos of BOF..

    I might watch this episode :) )

  15. 15 Beng

    sooo cute. I love Heechul too. He’s my most fave Suju members. Thanks for the info and the pictures =)

  16. 16 candidmom

    Thanks for the heads up, I love super junior. I am just curious though, is Heechul gay? I find him quite unique and very soft just like my gay friends.

    Anyways, I till like him whether his gay or not and I still love super juniors! :)

    xoxo

    • 16.1 v

      lol. i don’t think he’s gay… altho he seriously looks like a girls sometimes and he’s the kpop resident guy-kisser but i think that’s just for fanservice. anyways, he denied it as well on many occasions, including strong heart and has a manly personality. i don’t care either way but that’s just the fan in me. ^^

      • 16.1.1 Candidmom

        Thanks for the reply. :) I also love and still will love him gay or not. :)

        xoxo

      • 21.1.1 rob

        thank you so much :D

  22. 22 rainerust

    Aw my SJ bias in IAL! Nice work Heechul. Now I’ll have to go and watch this episode, just to see his smile…

    The boy is so amazing and sparkling with wit, although he has his moments of terrible surliness, which is only human (one of the biggest reasons why I like him – I can relate!).

    Only following this drama through recaps but IAL seems like something I could check out once I’m done…with…all the rest….

  23. 23 Ace

    Aw! The prettiest of the pretty boys out there (and the prettiest among the pretty girls even!)

    Not watching IAL but would catch a glimpse of Heechul!!!

  24. 24 honest_will

    he is pretty much a pretty boy
    and he can wear high heels and dress like lady gaga as he did in his suju concert
    pretty hilarious and confident i have to say
    anyway cant wait for more eps of i am legend but sad it is nearly over
    oh
    need to find another tv show to watch

    there’s not much to watch when baker kim tak gu is off air
    dont know about plan b theres alot of hype but not really buying into it until i see an episode
    didn’t like rain in full house (mid way through, he was fine at the start he was yeah)

    anyway
    lalalala

  25. 25 M

    i dont check java beans for a few days and miss this breaking development!!!!

    LOVEEE heechul
    his personality is, mine, but i wish i could do / say everything he does

  26. 26 jen

    OMG he’s so ugly, no offence to all his fans and SJ fans. and whats with his haircut???

    • 26.1 Ani

      HAHAHA! I use to think so too when he was sooo skinny. But, I wouldn’t go to extremes and call someone ugly unless you’re a fine example of angelic beauty.

      As for me, I’m not a fan of his because he’s in SuJu, but because of Bad Family and his various variety shows. The guy is hilarious to the point that I fell in love with his personality (which just happens to be the reason why I find him adorable now). It’s what’s on the inside that counts, the outside is just packaging that needs to be peeled.

    • 26.2 tuyettu

      Dear Sir/Madam!

      Please take a look of yourself in the mirror before go & call someone ugly!

      -_-

    i LOOOVVED bad family too. one of my absolute faves.

  28. 28 Sam

    Awesome :D

  29. 29 minnetter

    GAH!!!
    I’m an ELF and Heechul is my fave! out of the Suju boys, not because of his looks, though they are awesome, but because of how sarcastic and witty he is on TV programs, looved him when he was on X-Man, during the Dangyunhaji section, his wittiness ensured that the Kang Team would win^^ I don’t watch this drama usually and instead just read the recaps, but now I’m gonna go and watch that eppy… oh boy, I’m going to do a lot of screencaps on his smile^^

    • 29.1 Alexis

      Yeah YEAH!!!! I did watch him in TV program too!

      I knooowww! Lolz, I really enjoy watching him act soo sarcasm and silly when he was on X-Man and Dangyuhaji section, too! Hahahaha, it made me so laugh, lolz. =)

  30. 30 Laica

    I watched it! It was very cute! And very meta, what with the band girls going gaga over him and Heechul being a real celebrity… kind of cool.

  31. 31 maldita

    Heechul! <3 I want him to be casted for a new drama soon. He's actually not bad as an actor. I really liked his performance in "Golden Bride" and "Bad Family." :)

    I swear, SBS really loves him. He used to host Inkigayo. Then his radio show now is on SBS radio, most of his variety show appearances are in SBS shows, he hosts the annual Gayo Daejuns, Dream Concerts, and whatever other music festivals that SBS airs. They better give him a new drama role soon! He's gonna get called up for military service anytime now in a couple of years.

  32. 32 Cam

    HEECHUL!!! =) =)

    Of course, I had seen him that before when I watched him in that show, um…..X-man shows and kinds of show what he’s acting that way — Awesome, lolz.

    Ah, I think it might be good idea if they’d put HeeChul into another incoming drama someday, what did you think?! (big beams) Oh yeah! (nods)
