[091125/Leeteuk] Super Junior Lee Teuk, “The girl I wanted to marry, was two-timing with another celebrity”, Article from Leeteuk's guesting on "Strong Heart"
Super Junior Lee Teuk, “The girl I wanted to marry, was two-timing with another celebrity”
On SBS Strong Heart aired on 24th November, Lee Teuk revealed his heartbreaking lovestory which took place 3 years back.
Hesaid, “After debut, I need to show responsibility in every matter as aleader. I even have a little pre-test about going into a loverelationship.” He talks about falling in love with a woman 3 yearsback, “3 years ago, when I was doing schedule, a lady passed by andcaught my attention. And I thought ‘So you can really fall in love witha person at first sight’.”
He added, “I thought that it will beburdersome if I have gone up personally. So I asked ShinDong to help meask for her contacts. I said ‘This is Lee Teuk. I really like you thatI think I’m in love with you. I hope we can meet up and talk’. And thewoman said, ‘I feel pressured because you are an idol’.”
But towin the woman’s heart, Lee Teuk had borrowed Super Junior’s 250K kiloschedule car and prepared a CD with songs that the she may like. LeeTeuk said, “I stopped the car in a park in YeoIlDo and played the song‘DDD’ by Kim HyeRim to lighten up the mood. She said that we havesimilar taste in music. She was then thirsty and as I got PET bottlesand went to a nearby restaurant to fill it up with Cola and cider. Shesaid that she felt my love and was thankful.”
He continued, “Butshe never told me that she like me. So I proposed ‘I want to go outwith you officially’. And the woman accepted. But following that weonly meet like once a week. She called and said ‘JungSoo sshi, I reallywanted to watch that movie.”
“Even though it was peak hours, Iwent out for a date with the woman. Even though I may be caught byreporters, I didn’t care more and held the woman’s hand and we went toa cinema in KangNam. I thought that I really wanted to marry this womanand is ready to give up my celebrity life. People have saw me and asked‘Is that Lee Teuk?’. But I didn’t care more.”
But coincidentallythe woman’s mobile phone rang. And the person on the other line is aChaeBol 2nd generation celebrity. Lee Teuk said, “I passed her thephone and pretended that I didn’t see his name, she then went away totake the call. I had the 250K borrowed car and it was said that he waswaiting in front of her house with a luxurious foreign car.”
“Iwas so happy looking at the woman for 30 seconds. After that it waslike hell. After that day, she did not contact me and we did not meetup at all. And for the next 6 months, I went into a slump. I keptcalling her but she never picked up.”
Super Junior member Eun Hyuk said, “This is the first time I see Lee Teuk fall in love and get so heartbroken.”
Andwhen asked if it is alright to reveal his love story on the show, LeeTeuk said that it is alright since he has said in a calm state. “Nowthat I’ve said these words out, I feel good inside. I really wanted togive up then. But I have no regrets about it now.”
Maybe this was the past girlfriend Leeteuk talked about frequently that hurt him the most. The details are weird though since he said "3 years ago" which wouldput it in 2006 wherein he already has a car (BMW) and Super Juniordoesn't use that big van with the "Super Junior '05" written on itanymore. Maybe he edited the details a bit so netizens (and fans) wouldhave a hard time digging up the identity of the girl.
On a funny note, "Second-generation chaebol celebrity" with a "luxurious foreign car" made me think of Siwon though since fits the description to a T! Hahaha... And during that time not everyone in SJ had cars so maybe Leeteuk wasalluding to a much earlier time because he is one of the members whohad cars in 2006 along with Heechul (Peugot), Kangin (Lexus), Shindong(Honda CRV), Kibum, Eunhyuk (Hyundai), and Kyuhyun (family car).
