SUPER JUNIOR's Heechul talked about the purity of the SM Entertainment junior group RIIZE. In a recently released YouTube channel "ChopChop" content called "Brain Cutters," Heechul shared stories about RIIZE, representing the 5th generation idols. On this day, YouTuber Kim Tortoru, who came out as a sexual minority, appeared as a guest. In the video, Heechul mentioned the popular YouTube channel "Hong Seok-jun's Jewel Box," hosted by Kim Tortoru and talent Hong Seok-jun. Heechul stated, "I am on a diet at SM Entertainment and aim to appear on 'Jewel Box' next year," and praised "Jewel Box" highly. Heechul then shared anecdotes about RIIZE's appearance on "Jewel Box." RIIZE appeared on "Jewel Box" in April this year. Heechul said, "The representative who produced RIIZE was very worried about them appearing on variety shows. (RIIZE is) also introverted." Heechul asked the representative, who was troubled about RIIZE's variety appearances, about their behavior at drinking parties. Heechul said, "The manager showed me footage of their drinking party. They only played the 369 game and drank juice. It was completely different from SUPER JUNIOR's drinking parties." Heechul added, "The company was worried about RIIZE's appearance on 'Jewel Box,' but fortunately, they did well. However, when I look at the videos that went up on 'Shorts,' I remember that none of the videos featured RIIZE; only (Kim) Tortoru and (Hong) Seok-jun appeared," eliciting laughter. After finishing the discussion about "Jewel Box" and RIIZE, Ha Ji-won, the host of "Brain Cutters," asked Kim Tortoru, "How do you invite a man you like?" In response to Ha Ji-won's question, Kim Tortoru said, "I am also not the type to approach directly. Usually, I ask for their SNS account," and revealed a special method, saying, "The reason I don't ask for phone numbers is that when I meet them, I am dark and drunk, so I often fail the next time we meet."
