Happy Kim Hee Chul day 10-10-10!

The Canadians reading this are probably celebrating Thanksgiving by over-indulging in turkey and mashed potatoes, but according to the astounding number of Asian teens on Twitter, today is Kim Hee Chul Day.

What is this day, and who is this man? You may be asking. And rightly so. I used our good friend Wikipedia in hopes of answering those questions. However, while I discovered that Hee Chul (sometimes spelled Heechul, which he sometimes mononymously goes by) is a South Korean music superstar, I did not find out why one girl had tweeted that today is the day “we celebrate Kim Hee Chul taking over social networking.”

I do know that Heechul is the ‘sub leader’ of 13-member boy band Super Junior, and that he sang a song by the popular band X Japan’s guitarist hide once.

So, in conclusion, I can’t answer all of your important questions about today or, really, about the world. It seems Kim Hee Chul Day has given us a perfect metaphor for life: it’s confusing, and no one has all the answers. (Also, it’s largely Asian.)

… Happy Thanksgiving/Kim Hee Chul Day!
