Super Junior's Leeteuk Opens Up About His Personal Life After 20 Years in the Spotlight
Leeteuk, the leader of the iconic K-pop group Super Junior, is set to reveal his private life and inner thoughts on the upcoming episode of TV Chosun's 'Nae Meotdaero - Overimmersion Club'.
In the third episode, airing on the 17th, Leeteuk, who is celebrating his 20th anniversary since debut, will delve into his personal struggles and evolving perspectives, offering a relatable glimpse beyond his dazzling stage persona.
He confessed that over the past two decades, he has never attended celebrity gatherings and has no close celebrity friends, describing himself as someone who primarily stays at home, a sentiment echoed by his Super Junior bandmates, Shindong, Ryeowook, and Eunhyuk.
Seeking new experiences, Leeteuk ventured out to a Muay Thai gym, admitting he had 'never used his legs before.' His journey as a beginner, including his first-ever sparring match, promises to showcase a different side of his personality.
The episode will also feature Leeteuk's first-ever scheduled meeting with a fellow celebrity colleague since his debut. He spent a unique day in Seongsu-dong, a popular spot for the MZ generation, and shared surprising stories about how intense 'sasaeng' (obsessive fan) taxi chases in the past made dating impossible.
Leeteuk is renowned for his leadership within Super Junior, guiding the group through numerous successful years. He has also established a strong career as a television host, known for his wit and engaging presence. He maintains a close connection with his fans through various social media platforms.
