Curiosities


Who or what exactly is Sellectice and his friend Karrion?

‘Sellectice and his friend Karrion’ were cartoon characters that Heenim created when he was still in high school. His best friend from high school, Daehyun, was ‘Sellectice’ and Heechul was ‘his friend Karrion.’ Sellectice was a super hero, but the thing that set Sellectice apart from all other super heroes was that he didn’t protect the world, but rather he only protected himself. Sellectice believed that everyone should take care of themselves instead of asking someone else for help LOL
Heechul said the characters were quite popular among his classmates and he’d often get requests to draw those characters for them during breaks. He has even drawn the characters on camera in an episode of “Banolim 2.” If you ever see Heenim’s autograph, the round faced character with a flower on his head is ‘Sellectice.’

  • Heechul, Leeteuk, Donghae, Hangeng and Shindong live in the second apartment. Heechul and Leeteuk used to be roommates, but as Heechul couldn’t stand Leeteuk’s sleeping habits (especially in the morning), he moved into his own room. Donghae is now Leeteuk’s roommate. Shindong, who used to share a room with Donghae, is now roommatea with one of their main managers.
  • They live in the 12th floor.
  • Korean people count age differently than we do.

When someone is born, he is automatically 1 year old. Due to this, in Korean age we are always one year older than our “actual” age.
Also, anyone born before March is considered to be in the previous year (for instance, someone born in January 1987 will be considered to be from 1986) because the school new year starts on March 1st in Korea. Thus, someone born in the beginning of the year will then have a Korean age count 2 years older than what their “actual” age is.

MORE INFO:

Previously, Heechul, Kibum, and Hankyung lived in the same dorm (with Jay) and the other members lived in another dorm about two minutes walking-distance away. Apparently, they’ve changed dorms again so most of them are living in the same building, just on different floors.
