Super Junior's Leeteuk reveals his honest daily life. In the third episode of TV Chosun's variety show "My Way - Over-Immersion Club" (hereafter "My Way"), airing on the 17th, idol Leeteuk, celebrating his 20th anniversary since debut, appears to share his previously undisclosed daily life and inner thoughts. His human worries hidden behind the glamorous stage and his changed values resonate with viewers.
In the broadcast, Leeteuk confesses that he had no private life outside of work for the past 20 years. Meeting Super Junior members Shindong, Ryeowook, and Eunhyuk in the practice room preparing for the 20th-anniversary concert, he says, "In 20 years, I have never once attended a typical celebrity gathering. I don't have celebrity friends I meet separately." Hearing this, the members nod, saying, "Leeteuk really just stays at home."
Leeteuk decides to change now and takes on a new over-immersion challenge. To do this, he goes outside and visits a Muay Thai gym. Saying, "I've never used my feet before in my life," he puts all his effort into learning kicking moves. His 'Muay Thai Day 1' training, full of beginner mistakes, and his first-ever sparring challenge show another surprising charm of his.
Also revealed is Leeteuk making plans with another celebrity colleague for the first time since his debut in the entertainment industry. Saying, "He is a good hyung and senior, so I made up my mind to meet him," he spends a special day in Seongsu-dong, a hot place famous among MZ generation for date courses. Watching this, Chae Jung-an says, "I don't think he has ever been on a date," to which Leeteuk replies, "When I was active, there were 20 to 30 sasaeng taxis following me around. So I couldn't go on dates," surprising everyone.
During a conversation with his celebrity friend, Leeteuk also opens up about his changed views on marriage. Once a non-marriage advocate, he recently changed his mind, saying, "Living with someone might be okay." This change appears through Leeteuk's sincere confession and new challenges, drawing great interest from viewers.
Leeteuk's honest story and new challenges can be seen on TV Chosun's "My Way - Over-Immersion Club," airing at 10 PM on the 17th. This program focuses on Leeteuk's personal worries and new attempts.
