SUPER JUNIOR's dependable leader, Leeteuk, recently surprised his fans during a livestream when he seemingly came out as bisexual.

In the traditionally conservative K-pop industry, discussions about sexuality are often considered taboo. However, in recent years, there has been a growing wave of support for idols who express their true selves.

Before his statement, Leeteuk had already shown his support for the LGBTQ+ community, comforting a transgender fan and advocating for various LGBTQ+ causes. His open-mindedness and compassion have always resonated with fans.

Following his revelation, an outpouring of support flooded in for the idol. Netizens left heartfelt comments expressing their admiration and they commented:

• I think Heechul already kissed him, I just think.
• The only one who saves Super Junior (not only because of that, he was always cute and suffered a lot)
• It's so good to see that even indirectly, he can calmly say it
• Rocking as always, this darling doesn't disappoint me!
• His career is intact, I wish younger idols had that freedom too
• That's it, my love, you don't discriminate~
• It's really amazing!
• His words go through my head all the time. We like who we like.
• At first, it seems like he didn't understand the question, but the final sentence made it very clear that he knew what he was talking about lol
• Love you Leeteuk
• Everyone knows that Super Junior is a bunch of bisexuals + Siwon
• I don't know him but he's amazing
• He and 90% of the K-pop crowd
• Finally one in his group that is NOT homophobic
• On one side we have Leeteuk who defends LGBT causes etc and on the other we have Siwon
• So handsome and he was unlucky enough to be in the same group as Siwon
