Leeteuk tries to slide into the DMs of Momoland's Yeonwoo

[sjtaazrz.livejournal.com]

Leeteuk thought he was DMing Yeonwoo but it ended up being a fan account. He wrote, "Yeonwoo-ya", to which the fan replied, "OMG I can't believe".

Leeteuk later clarified in an official statement, "I wanted to tell a hard-working junior singer that she was doing great. I'm so sorry about that, Yeonwoo-ya, and sorry to the fan who was probably surprised by my sudden DM."


Article: Leeteuk, "I'm sorry for the mistake of DMing Momoland Yeonwoo... apologies to fans too" (official statement)
1. [+478, -28] Wow, seriously? ㅋㅋㅋ Think of your age gap, why would you even DM her? You can tell her she did a good job when you meet later.

2. [+417, -28] Why would you randomly tell someone they did a good job through DMs ㅎㅎㅎ Can you grow up already? I can already tell what he was intending to write after saying "Yeonwoo-ya"...

3. [+337, -23] Grow up already...

4. [+59, -4] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Tried to slide in her DMs and failed ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I can see why, Yeonwoo is quite pretty ㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+57, -3] ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Ajusshi... act your age...

6. [+53, -2] His excuse is pretty pathetic??? ㅋㅋㅋ

7. [+50, -2] Ajusshi, you're embarrassing yourself

8. [+45, -4] We see that she's pretty too but you shouldn't be hitting on her

9. [+43, -2] Look at him put his tail down when he tried to hit on her ㅋㅋㅋ

10. [+40, -2] Think of your age

11. [+39, -3] This ba$tard has done this a few times ㅋㅋ

12. [+34, -3] Leeteuk-ah, this is embarrassing

13. [+27, -2] Men always pull the same stunt... it's obvious he was trying to hit on her. Sigh... pathetic ba$tard.

14. [+23, -1] I heard celebrities hit on each other through DMs but that's so pathetic ㅋㅋㅋ makes you look like you're not taking them seriously

15. [+13, -0] That's the best excuse he could come up with? tsk tsk tsk

16. [+11, -1] Gross ㅡㅡ

17. [+10, -1] Leeteuk has history of sending Kim Yuna a DM and then saying on a TV show that she never responded which caused SuJu fans to terrorize her SNS. He still hasn't given up hitting on kids through SNS, has he?

1. [+102, -3] Yah ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ think of your age gap ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Leeteuk must be feeling so damn embarassed

2. [+91, -2] Failed at hitting on her ㅋㅋㅋ

3. [+68, -4] So embarrassing ㅋㅋㅋ now Kim Heechul has to suffer another headache. I had a feeling Super Junior was too quiet these days.

4. [+13, -1] Wake up

5. [+12, -0] All she had to do was reply "yes~ sunbaenim" and he would've begun his seduction

Source: Naver

1. [+2,011, -222] I think it's a mistake anyone could've made, why are people thinking so negatively about it.. just why?

2. [+1,367, -60] It's pretty obvious by the way he calls her 'Yeonwoo-ya' that they're not even close enough to have exchanged contact info

3. [+865, -122] He's getting all this hate just for saying her name ㅋㅋㅋㅋ have you all never called someone by their name before;

4. [+643, -175] But why would you DM her on Instagram for it ㅋㅋ

5. [+1,083, -826] Ajusshi... please think of your age and stop hitting on girls

6. [+246, -40] If he really wanted to tell her she did a "good job", he wouldn't have just said "Yeonwoo-ya", he would've said something like, "Yeonwoo-ya, good job at the Ah Song!" ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

7. [+187, -3] Ahh, would've been so funny if the fan account DMed back, "Yes?"

8. [+173, -12] If he knew her personal contact, he obviously wouldn't have DMed her. He could've just left her a Katalk message. Obviously he doesn't even know her Instagram account which shows that they're not close at all. Just a business relationship. No?

9. [+154, -44] Why is an '83er hitting on a '96er ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I doubt this is his first time either

10. [+100, -33] I'm so embarrassed for him......

There has been no statement from Yeonwoo's side, so she most likely remains unbothered

Omona, have you ever try to holler at someone 13 years younger than you under the guise of a supportive work relationship with someone whose contact info you don't even have in the first place?

dude has always seemed like a greasy creep tbh.
it makes me sick to my stomach to think about the kind of shit young female idols must have to deal with from their seniors :/

[sjtaazrz.livejournal.com]

It reminds me of Sistar's advice to Sohye


The funny thing is that I forgot Leeteuk was an MC for this show. Sistar gives her the advice about avoiding seniors, and at the end, he just agrees with them.

[pikapika217.livejournal.com]

EXPOSE HA!!

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

What a creep
I'm glad that Yeonwoo didn't receive this immediatly, with the seniority she would probably feel pressured to answer :/

Also I'm a little disappointed than the fan didn't play along to see what he would have followed up with

[sjtaazrz.livejournal.com]

About your second point, I think that fanpage is run by someone who doesn't speak Korean. I did a quick search and it's pretty much all in English.

Still, it would have been interesting to give a simple "네?" and then at least google translate his response or something. They might not have been able to keep it up for long, but it would have been interesting.

[daceymormont.livejournal.com]

He's got a track record of being a creep, like jokingly proposing to krystal and yoona when they were trainees and underaged, and yet elfs still want to give him the benefit of doubt because this was an "innocent" message and it's not like he hit on her and he only wanted to praise her for doing a good job mcing with him at a festival (or whatever). If he wanted to do that he could've made a post on his ig praising her and the other idols who mced with him, or, idk, told her that in person after the festival?

I'll never forget when leeteuk asked sistar to give young female idols advice and they told them to stay far away from all male seniors.

[http://users.livejournal.com/psychedelico_/]

i remember when krystal exposed him about the proposal. she said he was scary, which is why she "agreed" to marry him and that he even told someone that they'd kissed. she was a minor at that time. why do men have no boundaries

[little-giant.livejournal.com]

At least he's graduated from calling Suzy fat...

[aures.livejournal.com]

yeah but that's because suzy is thin now so he probably can't
he'll find someone else soon probably

[ohbubbajoan.livejournal.com]

Gross

6. [+246, -40] If he really wanted to tell her she did a "good job", he wouldn't have just said "Yeonwoo-ya", he would've said something like, "Yeonwoo-ya, good job at the Ah Song!" ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

disgusting. he needs to rot. glad this didn't actually go to her because she definitely would have been pressured to reply.

[vintage-boom.livejournal.com]

do it in person at a music show or variety show you creep. just because women your age see through your bullshit and want nothing to do with you doesn't mean you go after the younger ones.

[lolknope.livejournal.com]

Garbage. I’m glad his creep ass was caught

[torontok.livejournal.com]

He has a history of being a creep and hitting on younger women and his excuse is total bullshit.
If he wanted to support her, he would have said that in the message instead of just saying her name informally and nothing else. And he MCed with Nancy too, why not congratulate her as well? He's a sleazebag piece of shit

[baekpedaling.livejournal.com]

I wish they had of replied and really exposed him but the fanpage is probably a fan of his

[nekobot.livejournal.com]

It's such a textbook abusers tactic. I bet he does this to everyone and is deliberately overt about it so he can pass it off as "it's just my way of joking around, everyone knows that!" and find out which girls are easy targets by scoping out how they respond to his creepiness.

[ggumd.livejournal.com]

He is truly disgusting, people have been bringing up previous creepy behavior and comments he has made and I just learned about this incident today:

https://www.allkpop.com/forum/threads/leeteuk-makes-a-get-girls-drunk-joke.125297/

(I know akp but I couldnt find another link)

Like in the extremely small chance that he had no bad attentions on what basis does he get the benefit of the doubt?

[petecarl.livejournal.com]

I remember watching that episode and commenting about it here. He's such a creep, and it's scary how people co-sign him.

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

he is one of the creepiest male idols in kpop, given his history of hitting on underage girls. i'm glad that the fanpage exposed him. older girls probably already know about him so he has to hit on the younger and fresh ones.

[lydzi.livejournal.com]

SuperJunior should have been canceled so many years ago. I'm just flabbergasted by the fact that elfs still go strong for their "oppas". It baffles me truly.

[rainstormraider.livejournal.com]

Seriously.

The one group among all other groups that are problematic as a whole and individually and yet they are still thriving? Their fans are a piece of work too. I still remember the Black Ocean mess. And now the recent Sungmin BS too. Never have I detested a K-Pop group and their fan base more.

[ashdevilrun23.livejournal.com]

i'll never forget yoona on strong heart talking about how he hit on her when she was like 13.
5. [+57, -3] ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Ajusshi... act your age... < the only comment needed

[mortkero.livejournal.com]

Ewwwwwww

[daynr.livejournal.com]

I'm dying at all the comments calling him ahjussi.


You just know that burns him up more than anything...

[dior-chic.livejournal.com]

Yesssss, this old fucking skeezeball deserves it

[nekobot.livejournal.com]

And here we have the reality of how those gross af 10+ years age gap entertainment industry relationships that so many people seem to defend REALLY get started! None of this introduced via friends mutual interests positive feelings nonsense, plain grownass men creeping on newbies.

He's such a skeeze, when is he finally going to settle down and stop messaging and harassing young girls? Actually nevermind, women his own age deserve better than this.

[vonnadarling.livejournal.com]

Leetuek dated Go Are when she was pretty young too. He definitely has a pattern and a reputation for being a creep

[lydzi.livejournal.com]

Ugh don't remind me... And then Kyuhyun proceeded to slutshame Go Hara once on a radio show saying that she dated multiple idols and that she was "easy" (and?). I just can't with SJ. I don't understand why they still have fans when the three quarter of them are misogynistic assholes and it's quite plain to see.
As far as I'm concerned, the only decent one was Han Geng and he got out as soon as he was finally able to.

[lizanka23.livejournal.com]

i can't believe super junior still has fans. that group is full of terrible people

[dior-chic.livejournal.com]

Exactly. I like some of their songs but I don’t want to listen to them much further because it seems like a lot of members are shitty men. Idk whose ‘good’ (maybe the guy that got married?) but I don’t think they outweigh the bad

[sra-interesante.livejournal.com]

well leeteuk is a certified creeper .... i always feel bad for those girls around him🤦🤦🤦

how funny he wrote to a fansite 😂😂😂😂
the way he cant tell the diference between a real account and some random fansite is beyond me

[horichansenpai.livejournal.com]

I'm really smh @ people (especially fans) taking his apology and "I just wanted to tell her good job" excuse seriously, how naive can they all get??

[theweebdream.livejournal.com]

Leetuk stays being a creeper cheesus. It seems like everyone in SJ is problematic, why tf did SM screw over Soshi and not them I’ll never understand.

[lizanka23.livejournal.com]

seriously! I thought SNSD was an even bigger cash cow than SJ, and they could tour around the word just like them

[modestgoddess79.livejournal.com]

He’s a habitual line stepper

[rainstormraider.livejournal.com]

Anyone who believes his lies is either delusional or has questionable judgement. This douchebag is 110% a sleazy perv who should be retired permanently.
