Our OT13 heart is fluttering to see Heechul and Kibum (virtually) reunited once again.
Super Junior member Heechul made ELFs' hearts jump for joy when he promoted the YouTube channel of former SuJu member Kim Kibum on his social media account.
The K-pop idol posted a screenshot of Kibum's first post as a YouTuber and said, “Hello, I'm Kim Heechul, editor of Kim Kibum's YouTube channel.
“How's he doing? Kibum, who's curious, made the channel for fans. He doesn't know how to do this more than I do.
“Kim Heechul, the king of research, channel management, content editing, and so on. It's going to be terrible beyond amateurs, but… LOL.
“Anyway, our Kibum is doing well like he always has.”
The clip shows a barefaced Kibum introducing his channel endearingly to fans.
He also said, “Heechul told me to take a two to three-minute long video but I'm running out of words to say.”
The short video also had an editor's note in the description, probably from Heechul, that said: “Kibum, let's cut your beard. LOL.”
Kibum's first vlog has already garnered 34,000 Views and his channel has amassed over 17,000 Subscribers.
Kim Kibum became a member of Super Junior in 2005 however after the release of their third studio album “Sorry, Sorry,” he announced his leave from the group to pursue an acting career.
It was in 2015 when he announced he ended his contract with SM Entertainment.
Heechul takes legal action
Over the past few days, Heechul has also updated fans who's been helping him deal with bashers online.
On July 22, the Super Junior member posted photos of documents that show an official criminal complaint about the alleged violation of the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection.
He said in the post, “I'm showing no leniency.
“Even if there's a settlement, I will be giving everything to my lawyers. Thank you to the lawyers at Jung Sol and the investigators at the Seoul Gangnam Police Station.
“I won't stop here and I will keep catching these malicious commenters.
“Also, to my fans who continue to fight with the horrible malicious commenters, who collect information, and who gives me strength, it must have been harder for you than anyone… I'm so grateful.
“Although, I may continue to be someone who just can't catch a break, I'll be Universe Star Kim Heechul who doesn't cause any trouble.”

Heechul has previously openly expressed his frustrations against critics and malicious commenters online in JTBC's 7.7 Billion in Love.
He also began asking fans to help him fight against cyberbullying in April after posting a selfie in DC Inside, a South Korean internet forum.
He captioned the post with, “After bidding farewell to two of my closest friends last year, I lost the interest of keeping my image as a celebrity.
“I told my company that I wanted to rest and receive therapy. But, if I didn't speak up, I thought my fans might pick fights with those trash reports again.
“So, I urge all of you, whoever comes across malicious comments or false accusations involving me, please leave them here in this gallery or wherever you feel comfortable.
“I will personally hire a lawyer and take strict legal actions against them.”
