Recently, footage of the idol interacting with his alleged girlfriend during a concert sparked backlash. Leeteuk was directly confronted during a live stream, during which a fan questioned why he had brought his “girlfriend” to a concert.
Leeteuk responded that he had not done that, and to not say strange things like that.
THE AMOUNT OF RUDENESS IN THIS COMMENT IS LITERALLY UNBEARABLE🤬 LEAVE TEUKIE ALONE AND STOP SPREADING THESE DISGUSTING RUMORS

After this, however, additional clips, seemingly from another event surfaced.
In clips shared, the idol was seen walking through the aisles while performing, before giving three people a hi-five and walking past a person seated next to them. The three individuals are alleged to be friends of Leeteuk’s rumored girlfriend.

Criticism followed, with many focused more on his actions rather than the fact that he was potentially in a relationship.
- “This honestly breaks my heart…. A fan paid money to buy the ticket, and even though it was a first-class/VIP seat, they had a chance to high-five the idol they like, but the idol only high-fived his girlfriend and her girlfriend’s friend…
That’s why you shouldn’t put the idol’s girlfriend in the first-class section.” - “He’s old enough to know better, but he’s acting like this, so he’s not acting his age. Who said he can’t get married? Who said he can’t date? The problem is that he brings her to the concert and pulls this kind of stuff, which is why fans keep getting angry. There are so many people in the quotes who completely don’t understand the situation.”
- “I don’t care if he brings his girlfriend, but do you think money grows on trees? Ticket prices are ridiculously expensive these days. At least send her to the second-floor seats or something. Seriously, Leeteuk, please just get married already.
