Heechul was late for SM Entertainment audition, gets in anyway because that face

Heechul

You know the rumors that SM Entertainment picks its artists based on looks?  Well, that might have some basis in fact, especially considering Heechul pretty much brags about it in the latest recording of 'Happy Together 3'--although who can blame him?  That face. Good decision, SM.  Pat on the back.

While the episode will air tomorrow, a snippet of what he said on the show was revealed earlier today.  He talks about first coming to Seoul, saying, "At first, I was scared of people in Seoul.  I first came for an SM audition when I was twenty and toured Seoul.  At first, I went to the place called Gangnam and wandered the streets.  Then, the friend next to me said, 'Hey, you can't do a U-Turn in Seoul.  If you do a U-Turn, you're thought of as a bumpkin,' so, because of those words, we were unable to find a nearby street and just went around in circles.


After wandering like this for a long time, I was late to the audition, but they just looked at my face and chose me immediately.  I sang the Korean national anthem, but they still chose me.  This story is legendary among SM auditions."
