Super Junior’s Kim Hee-chul Clarifies Fake Lawsuit Against Donghae: “Did You Really Think I Sued Him?”

Super Junior’s Kim Hee-chul has set the record straight about the now-viral “lawsuit” against fellow member Donghae.

On the 24th, Kim Hee-chul shared a playful update on his social media story, posting a photo of the mock lawsuit along with the caption, “Yesterday, while performing ‘A-Cha,’ Lee Dong-hae kept hitting me, and right at that moment, the lyrics were ‘It keeps hurting, I’m in pain’—I really was hurting from being hit!”

This post served as an explanation for the earlier fake lawsuit photo he had uploaded targeting Donghae. Hee-chul clarified, “Surely, none of you cuties actually thought I really sued Donghae, right?”



On the 23rd, Hee-chul had sparked a buzz by posting on his social media story, “Were you surprised by Donghae’s nonsense today? Lee Dong-hae, I’m going to sue you. Let’s be together at every Super Show around the world!” along with a photo of a mock lawsuit addressed to Donghae.

The playful document listed Kim Hee-chul as the plaintiff and Lee Dong-hae as the defendant, with “Woojudaestar Entertainment Law Firm” as the legal representative. The “relationship” section humorously described them as fellow idol group members and former sworn brothers.



Of course, the lawsuit was just an inside joke. Hee-chul crafted the fake legal document in response to Donghae sharing an embarrassing photo of him, turning their friendly mischief into a source of laughter for fans.

Meanwhile, Super Junior—featuring both Kim Hee-chul and Donghae—is celebrating their 20th debut anniversary this year. The group kicked off their milestone ‘SUPER SHOW 10’ 20th anniversary tour on the 22nd, thrilling fans with spectacular performances.
