Super Junior Kim Heechul reveals hair prepped for military
Super Junior member Kim Heechul has revealed photographs of himself with a buzzcut ahead of his military entrance tomorrow.
The photos, uploaded through two separate posting on his Twitter account late on Wednesday, showed the idol star with a shaven head.
He then wrote that he reminded himself of 'Choonja' in both photos, a female singer who is known for her trademark shaven head.
Earlier in the day, he had unveiled a photo of himself sitting beside singer Kim Jang-hoon while sporting hair with length which reached beyond his ears.
The two had met to record a duet song that Kim Heechul called "My final present of my twenties by Jang-hoon," which is set for a release in the form of a digital single in September, an official at SM Entertainment explained.
Kim Jang-hoon made his singing debut more than a decade before Kim Heechul did but the two, both known to have many celebrity friends, have been friends as well.
Kim Heechul, 28, will be the second member of K-pop's most popular idol groups to enter the military to fulfill the two-year mandatory duties required of all men.
He will receive four weeks of basic training at a training camp in Nonsan of the South Chungcheong Province and then serve as a public service worker for the 23 months that follow.
However, it is unknown whether fans and the media will be able to catch a glimpse of the idol star head off to the military since he has already stated he wants "a quiet leave."
