Super Junior's Heechul responds

Seeing the matter explode on social media on June 4, SM Entertainment's K-pop idol Heechul responded to his alleged involvement in the NCT scandal. Heechul is famous for being very social, and fans think he might have played a role in that. A screenshot surfaced where a fan directly asked him, “Heechul, what did you do in Japan?”

The K-pop idol immediately debunked the news, saying, “I've been keeping an eye on it anyway. I'm afraid of causing an incident on Instagram again, so I just spoke to the company.

However, it seems that fans are skeptical, as his response seems to suggest that he was more focused on protecting the NCT members rather than admitting that he had been drinking with the girls. “If it really wasn't true he would have been so vocal on Instagram calling people feminist bitches but the way he talks to the company it's probably true lol,” one fan commented.
