Super Junior's Kim Hee-cheol recalled the strict rules during his days as an SM Entertainment trainee.

On the 21st, a video titled "Finding the Roots of Super Junior | EP.149 Leeteuk & Hee-cheol" was released on the YouTube channel TEO 'Salon Drop'.

That day, Kim Hee-cheol began by saying, "I came to SM when I was 20, so it was my 20th year. I partied a lot." He continued, "After going to a nightclub, I went to sing the next day, and the trainer said, 'Hee-cheol looks happy today. Did something fun happen yesterday?'"

He then added, "When I told them, 'I went to a nightclub yesterday and got free beer,' they asked, 'Where did you go?' and I was suspended from practice."

When Jang Do-yeon asked, "Do you write apology letters when you get scolded?" Kim Hee-cheol replied, "Even after going to a bathhouse, I wrote one."

He recalled, "Looking back now, the company wasn't as big as it is today, and there were only two or three trainers. We had to report where we went every time, but I didn't. After going to a bathhouse with Yesung, the trainer sister asked, 'Why do both of you look so happy today?' When I said, 'We went to a bathhouse,' she asked, 'Why did you go without telling anyone?' and made me write another apology letter."

He added, "I don't know what I did wrong, but since they told me to write it, I did. I wrote 'I'm sorry' like it was nothing. Yesung got away with it, but only I was suspended from practice."

In response, Jang Do-yeon asked, "What happens when you're suspended from practice?" Kim Hee-cheol answered, "I either went to Gangwon Province or stayed only in the dormitory."
