Prior to his debut in Super Junior, Heechul began his acting career in 2005, starring in the second season of teen drama Sharp 2. This led him to host radio shows, his first music show Show! Music Tank and appear on advertisements. However, in 2006, just a year after his Super Junior debut, Heechul was involved in a car accident which fractured his left leg.[5] The accident left him unable to perform Super Junior's strenuous dances and he has since contributed to the group mostly as a singer.[6] Heechul ventured into the soundtrack singing career in 2009 by releasing his first single "First Star", as part of the soundtrack for the drama Loving You a Thousand Times.[7] He has participated in writing lyrics for not only Super Junior but also for his project groups and other artists.[8] Heechul debuted as a solo singer in 2019 with the digital single "Old Movie".[9]
Heechul became a regular cast member on Radio Star in 2010, where his popularity rose significantly and he won "Best Newcomer Award" at the 11th MBC Entertainment Awards.[10] Following that, he made a breakthrough in his television host career after appearing on the variety shows Knowing Bros and Weekly Idol in 2015 and 2016.[11] In 2019, he was recognized for his role in reality shows, receiving the "Excellence Award" at the 13th SBS Entertainment Awards, his first major award as an entertainer.[12]

Kim Hee-chul was born in Wonju, Gangwon Province, on July 10, 1983.[2][3] His family consists of his parents and an older sister, Kim Hee-jin.[13] He graduated from Sangji Youngsoe College in 2004 with a bachelor's degree in English tourism translation.[14][15] In addition, he graduated from Sangji University in 2009 with a bachelor's degree in informatics through Bachelor's Degree Examination for Self-Education.[2][3]
In 2002, after seeing Psy, who was singing "Champion" on a television program, he searched the internet for entertainment companies and found out that SM Entertainment was having open auditions.[16][17] He moved to Seoul when he was twenty years old with his friends in order to take part in the auditions.[18][19] Being unfamiliar with the area, he got lost and missed the open Starlight Casting System audition.[18][19] However, they still allowed him to perform because of his looks. He sang the Korean national anthem and passed.[18][19] He was cast and signed a contract with SM Entertainment, becoming an official trainee and being trained in singing, acting, dancing, and other performing talents such as hosting and modeling.[18]
He was initially placed in a four-member group called Four Seasons along with Jaejoong, Yunho and Kangin.[20] The project group was dropped when Yunho and Jaejoong joined TVXQ in early 2003.[21] Heechul was later preparing to debut as the main vocalist of TraxX, but had frequent clashes and misunderstandings with the person in charge at SM at the time.[22][23] Frustrated, he abandoned his debut and returned to his hometown in Gangwon Province.[22][23] Later, with TraxX's Jungmo's, Jay's, Yunho's and Donghae's encouragement, he returned to SM.[22][23] He joined other trainees under the company to form the group Super Junior 05, the first generation of Super Junior.[24]

SM Entertainment began to recruit new members for the next Super Junior generation in March 2006.[34] However, plans changed and the company declared a halt in forming future Super Junior generations.[35][34] Following the addition of the thirteenth member Kyuhyun, the group dropped the suffix "05" and officially became Super Junior.[35][34] The re-polished group's first CD single "U" was released on June 7, 2006, remaining their most successful single until the release of "Sorry, Sorry" in March 2009.[36] Heechul faced criticism from Super Junior's fans when his voice cracked while performing "U", which negatively affected him and made him want to quit singing.[37][38]
