Super Junior’s leader, Leeteuk, recently took to social media to address a disturbing incident involving a sasaeng fan trespassing into his home. The K-pop star, known for his patience and warm personality, didn’t hold back his frustration this time, sending a clear message to the intruder and others who might cross the line.
Leeteuk’s Strong Statement on Instagram
On April 10, 2025, Leeteuk posted a direct warning on his Instagram story. He wrote:
Trespassing into someone’s home. It’s alarming that there are still brainless sasaeng fans out there. This is the second time. I’m warning you, if you break in again, I will publicly reveal your personal information and report you to the police.
The message was short but firm, showing how serious he is about protecting his privacy. This isn’t the first time a sasaeng—a term used for obsessive fans who invade idols’ personal lives—has targeted him. He made it clear that this was the second incident, and he’s ready to take action if it happens again.
A History of Sasaeng Struggles
Leeteuk has faced issues with sasaeng fans for years. As the leader of Super Junior, a group that debuted in 2005 and has a massive global following, he’s no stranger to the intense attention that comes with fame. In the past, he’s spoken out about fans following him in taxis, leaking his phone number, and even harassing him during live broadcasts.
One notable moment was in 2020, when he paused an Instagram Live to call out someone bombarding him with calls, saying:
I’m famous for not getting a lot of calls, so if you do it, I know who called me. If you keep calling like that, I have no choice but to block you.
He also revealed that a fan had sold his phone number, showing how far some will go to get close to him. These experiences have clearly built up over time, leading to his strong reaction now.
How Did This Happen?
Fans are shocked that a sasaeng managed to trespass into Leeteuk’s home, especially since he reportedly lives in Trimage, a high-end residential complex in Seoul known for its tight security. Many are wondering how someone bypassed the building’s safeguards to reach his doorstep and even ring his doorbell.
After the incident, Leeteuk quickly reported it to the building’s security team, who are now investigating. This breach has left fans worried about his safety and frustrated that such invasions still happen in 2025, nearly 20 years into his career.
Super Junior’s Big Year Ahead
The timing of this incident adds extra tension, as Super Junior is gearing up for a major milestone—their 20th debut anniversary. The group, formed by SM Entertainment, first hit the scene on November 6, 2005, with their single “Twins (Knock Out).” Now, they’re planning a comeback album and special events to celebrate two decades in the industry.
Leeteuk, born Park Jung-soo on July 1, 1983, has led the group through ups and downs, from their early days as a 12-member project group to their current status as K-pop legends. Alongside members like Heechul, Yesung, and Shindong, he’s kept Super Junior thriving. The anniversary plans show their lasting popularity, but this sasaeng incident casts a shadow over the excitement.
Fans Rally Behind Leeteuk
The news spread fast, and Super Junior’s fans, known as ELF (Ever Lasting Friends), flooded social media with support. Many expressed anger at the sasaeng’s actions, with comments like:
Leave him alone! He deserves peace after all these years.
How dare someone invade his home? This has to stop.
Others praised Leeteuk for standing up for himself, noting his polite yet firm tone even in frustration. His warning about revealing the intruder’s identity and involving the police shows he’s done being lenient.
A Bigger Issue in K-Pop
This incident highlights a problem that’s plagued K-pop for years: sasaeng behavior. From chasing idols in cars to breaking into private spaces, these fans cross boundaries that leave stars feeling unsafe. Other idols, like EXO’s members being tricked into fake vans or BTS being stalked abroad, have faced similar issues. Despite stricter laws and security, the problem persists, and Leeteuk’s case is a stark reminder.
For now,Leeteuk is focused on keeping his home safe while preparing for Super Junior’s big comeback. His warning stands as a line in the sand—no more chances for those who disrespect his privacy.
