Ken Zhu is dating Maggie Wu

Earlier this year, Taiwanese actor-singer Ken Zhu ended his five-year relationship with ex-girlfriend Kelly Lin, who got married in March at the Maldives.

During the filming of "Remember, About Us" in March, it was rumoured that Ken was courting all three of his female co-stars, including Michelle Chen, Jennifer Chu and Maggie Wu. Their suspicions were recently confirmed when they saw Ken having a dinner date with Maggie.

On the evening of September 9, a member of the public tipped the media off and claimed that he had seen Ken dining with Maggie at a restaurant along Taipei's Jiangkang Road. The pair sat in a secluded area, where the actor was seen cutting Maggie's steak for her. After the two left the restaurant, Ken sent the actress back to her own apartment. Shortly after that, Maggie re-appeared again with a huge luggage, boarded the car as they drove towards Ken's residence.

When they realised they were being followed, the 32-year-old stopped by his friend's bicycle shop for a quick chat, before carrying on with the journey. The pair took a long detour, but soon gave up after their failed attempts to shake the paparazzi off their trail. Ken and Maggie returned to the actor's home and did not leave the building until the next afternoon.

After the couple's date was caught on photographs, when reporters reached the managers of both parties for a statement, they did not deny the ongoing relationship between Ken and Maggie. Ken's manager, Summer, expressed that she encouraged Ken to find a new girlfriend, because it would help to boost his self-esteem.

Maggie's manager said, "Both are still unmarried and have been admiring each other."

Leeteuk: "I will enlist in the army next year"

Following the ever so publicized (but not intentional) enlistment of Kim Heechul just this month, everyone's eyes are now on Super Junior leader Park Leeteuk and his plans of enlisting in the military as well.


In an interview after the "SM TOWN Live in Tokyo Special Edition" concert, he shared, "I plan to enter the army next yearI’m saying this because I don’t want to have hateful articles saying ‘Just go the the army ’", he jokingly added.

The funny leader also revealed, "Tokyo Dome was my dream stage. I always wanted to perform here before I go to armyI was really happy to see the fans go crazy especially on our ending performance where we sang 'Light', a song composed by our senior".



Oh well, if this plan will really push through this year or early next year, fans like ME can do nothing but just wish him well. But I would definitely love it if he enters right after Kang In leaves. I want to see a reunion, if you know what i mean. Haha! Anyway, it's cool how Super Junior related news are just everywhere these days. Fighting, eternal leader!

Kim Heechul in the army

After thanking his fans and the press, Super Junior member Kim Heechul formally enlisted in the army on September 1, and it created quite a stir in the entertainment industry.

Fans from Korea, Japan and all over the world waited at the entrance before his arrival. He arrived wearing a hat, which he immediately took off to greet his fans. He began with a warm smile, “I wasn’t going to greet anyone before enlisting, but I think my haircut came out okay.”

 
He continued with a bow, “I’ll come back as an adult. Thank you so much for coming all the way out here." After making a cute pose for the cameras, he added, “Please edit the pictures nicely if you’re going to upload them!" And although he stayed for only a brief moment, he made sure to wave to his fans before leaving the scene. The fans shouted in unison, “Be well, we’ll wait for you until the end.” Some emotional fans couldn’t help but shed tears over his enlistment.

Heechul will be receiving four weeks of training at the Nonsan Training Camp before beginning his service as a member of the public service personnel for 23 months.

Recently, pictures of Heechul in his army uniform surfaced online, causing fans to sigh with relief over Heechul’s smooth adjustment. The first picture shows the idol holding up his right hand as he pledges his military oath, while the second picture shows him confidently holding onto a gun, completely focused on his senior’s orders.




Commenting on his enlistment, Heechul expressed, “It’s still a bit unfamiliar, but I had already heard a lot of training stories from member Kang In, so I think I can do well.”

Super Junior Leeteuk sheds tears during Heechul's last TV appearance

Kim Heechul will be enlisting in the army soon and the other Super Junior members are feeling the sadness and pain of him being away from them for two years.

On Sunday, Heechul, together with the boy band, held his last TV performance on SBS “Inkigayo” music program to promote “Mr. Simple," the title track of their fifth album.  It was a perfect sendoff to Heechul as Super Junior won their second “Inkigayo” Mutizen Song chart award. However, Super Junior’s leader Leeteuk could not help but shed tears as he thanked everyone for the award. "Thank you for giving us this award. Thank you SM family, and Heechul for being a Super Junior member. I love you ", he said.

 
For his part, Heechul thanked Super Junior members and said he will come back as a healthy person. “Today was my last performance, and I wanted to say thanks to our Super Junior members. I’m thankful to my fellow younger members for always following me. Please listen to your hyungs. And to my friend, Jungsoo (Leeteuk), for always smiling through difficult times. Thank you to all of our managers and crew for putting up with my bad temper. Lastly, I love our fans. I’ll come back safely, stay healthy!

Heechul will be entering the military training camp on September 1 quietly and without fanfare. He is the second Super Junior member to enlist in the military. Kangin enlisted first last year. Leader Leeteuk will also be enlisting soon but no specific date has been confirmed yet.

We wish you good health, Heechulie!!!

Kyuhyun's confessions... which members are dating?


Photobucket
Super Junior’s youngest member, Kyuhyun, leaked out a little secret that some Super Junior members are possibly in a relationship.

On a recent episode of "Strong Heart", MC Kang Ho Dong suddenly asked Super Junior member Kim Heechul, “How many Super Junior members came out today?” Heechul answered, “10 members came out today“. With this, Kang Ho Dong quickly asked, “How many are currently dating out of those 10?
Heechul was visibly tense and started looking around awkwardly at his members making the audience even more suspicious. Shortly after, Kyuhyun said, “From what I know for sure, less than half of the members are dating“.

Even though there is still a chance that none of the members are dating since he pointed out specifically ‘less than half‘, the studio was filled with a mysterious vibe. The other cast members shouted with certainty at Super Junior, “So there are some who are dating! Choi Siwon and Lee Donghae seemed the most suspicious as Siwon awkwardly looked away and Donghae started drinking his water rapidly.

To even increase the viewers’ curiosity,  Heechul jokingly added, “Actually, before we came on the set, some members revealed to me that they broke up with their girlfriends that I never knew about”.
Moving on, Kyuhyun confessed his devastation over how he lost his crush to fellow member Eunhyuk. Apparently, Kyuhyun met this mysterious crush when he went to the hospital after a car accident. He explained, I went to take care of some hospital bills after receiving treatment, and I experienced love at first sight with a female employee there. It was the very first time in my life that I really felt what love at first sight was like. I asked her for her phone number while taking out my phone, but after hesitating for about three seconds, she turned me down. People recognized me and started talking so I left the area, but I regretted leaving after being rejected only once —  I decided to make plans in my own way.

He decided that the best course of action was to use the same tactics that actor Park Shin Yang used in the drama ‘Lovers in Paris‘, but he soon learned that his crush had a boyfriend. Kyuhyun was so disappointed that he thought, “Fate must not exist.”
Surprisingly, he got to meet that crush again at a Super Junior fan meeting, and he thought, “Maybe she broke up with her boyfriend, and came to find me. As she got closer, I felt like my heart was about to burst, but then she got into Eunhyuk’s line. I found out right then that she was Eunhyuk’s fan. Seeing her so shy as she asked for an autograph, I wondered to myself if this was a dream. If she had been Choi Siwon’s fan, I wouldn’t have said anything, but I was shocked that she was Eunhyuk’s fan. After that, I don’t believe in fate anymore.”
