[NEWS] 11.09.01 Heechul says farewell to fans and officially departs for the military to fulfill his 2 year services

By forsujuindonesia

Fans across the world has assembled at the residential military camp in Chongnam, Noksan on September 1st at 11AM KST to wish Heechul farewell as he officially enters the military to fulfill his 2 year mandatory services to his country.

It was reported that over 400 fans from Taiwan, Russia, Turkey, Thailand, China, Japan, in addition to Korean fans, and more have bid him a farwell, with some fans bursting into tears at the scene.

Fans created many banners wishing Heechul the best of luck with some saying, “Heechul, I love you” and “I’m looking forward to your return.” ELFs everywhere across the world are also waiting for news on his leave and are also expressing their sadness at Heechul’s military leave. One fan on an international website said, “Return safely and healthy from the military in two years and we’ll see you when you’re done.”

Other fans have said, “Your haircut looks nice. I still can’t believe you’ll be gone,” and “Have good health and take care of yourself.”

Heechul will enter the residential army camp where he will stay for 4 weeks to undergo basic military training. He will then proceed to serve as a public service personnel for 23 months. Heechul will serve as a public service personnel due to the iron rods he acquired in his leg after his car accident in 2006 that required him to have a major surgery done.

Prior to his enlistment, Heechul has been tweeting to his fans photos and thank yous for their endless support. A special duet single featuring Kim Janghoon and Heechul is set to be released sometimes in September as a last special gift to fans from Heechul.

ELF can now look forward to welcoming Super Junior’s Kangin next year as he returns from the military, but will also have to prepare themselves to say goodbye to Super Junior’s Leeteuk as he will soon enlist as well. A date has not been released on when Leeteuk will enlist.

FOR EVERYONE TO KNOW:

If some one goes to army. the best present for him are sweets like candies and chocolate bars but SOMETIMES recruits like Heechul are not allowed to get presents from the outside. SOMEtrainers don’t let their trainees take gifts while he is training. Be aware of this.

FOR EVERYONE TO KNOW TOO:

Someone is spreading rumors that sending Heechul letters is ILLEGAL and he will be punished my receiving these letters.

IT IS NOT TRUE. Kangin is also receiving letters and so are other people inside the army!

We are not invading Heechul’s privacy, we know his address but we only aim to send him letters. Letters can make a soldier happy especially when they have been inside their camp for a long time :)

Comment from Flitto.com:

FYI, the best present trainees want to get from other people outside is a LETTER.

I think someone who spread the rumor that sending a letter is illegal should look for the TRUTH and should feel sorry for spreading lies.

Of course it’s not good to disturb their stars but sending letters to trainee does not DISTURB him.

HERE IS A MESSAGE FROM FLITTO.COM TO YOU ALL:

Many E.L.Fs were questioning about the letters they wrote on Flitto.com

Some of them were saying it’s illegal to send letters to Heechul and he will be punished when he gets letters from the outside.

Some said Heechul will throw all the letters into a trashcan.

We are sending all the translated letters to a base at 3:00 pm every day. Also we give copies of letters to SJ managers so that they can keep those letter for Heechul (Heechul might not have enough time to read letters).

Today I got a call that Heechul’s reading every letter from fans and also he read letters from Flitto.com. As all the letters from flitto.com were translated into Korean it was much easier for him to read.

Thank you for writing and believing us. E.L.Fs.

Let’s keep on writing and give heechul energy.

* If you speak more than a language, you can also translate any letters tweets, cartoon etc from flitto.com.

HOW ARE WE GOING TO SEND IT TO HIM?

People from www.flitto.com print out the original and translated letters and put them in a document envelope. They send it to Heechul at Nonsan Training Center at 3PM everyday. They also send a copy to SM’s office for keeping purposes.

Heechul reads fan letters but we are not assuring you that he can read all!
