Heechul apologizes to fans via Weibo live for not being able to participate in Super Junior's comeback filming

On July 17, Super Junior's Heechul took to a Weibo live broadcast to communicate with his Chinese fans.

According to fans, the Super Junior members were recently spotted filming an MV for their comeback in Macau. However, Heechul was reportedly not present at the filming, and so the idol personally took some time to address the issue.

Heechul began, "As you know, I was not able to go to Macau [for Super Junior's comeback MV filming]. So it looks like I will not be able to participate in the comeback." He continued, "I debated a lot. I said to myself, 'How long am I going to make excuses saying that my foot and my leg hurts', and it's not exactly an excuse but, I can't exactly say I'm injured forever. But I still need to restore my health. Health is the most important. Our E.L.Fs need to be healthy too! But I'm not healthy right now, so if I just 'pretend' like I'm participating in the comeback by just being in the MV and in the jacket photos, then it doesn't sit well with me and I feel sorry. It sure is sad, to be unhealthy is a sad thing."

To Chinese fans, Heechul also stated that he will find a way to visit, even if it's not through broadcasts, in order to greet the fans waiting there. When asked if he participated in any recordings for new tracks, Heechul answered, "I wasn't able to. In my personal perspective, I hate being in a situation where I feel humiliated or dissatisfied because I can't put my all into it." Finally, the idol also apologized to his fellow member Ryeowook for not being able to make a comeback with him right after his discharge from the military.
