On November 6th, Girls’ Generation’s Yoona made a brief appearance on SBS’s “Strong Heart” as part of a farewell episode for Super Junior’s Leeteuk, a regular cast member of “Strong Heart” who recently left the show and concluded his other activities to enlist in the South Korean army.
During the episode, Yoona revealed that one year ago, Leeteuk had said he was going to enlist in the army. However, whenever she would ask, “When are you going to the army?”, he always answered, “I’m going to go soon.”
Yoona also explained Leeteuk invited her and other artists under SM Entertainment to an MT (editor’s note: membership training, a chance for co-workers or schoolmates to bond through various activities). However, rather than lead the event, Leeteuk instead stayed inside a room to watch TV and play on his cell phone.
Leeteuk explained that he had planned on giving quizzes and prepared prizes, but that Shim Jaewon played music at the MT for three hours. He said, “Everyone was having so much fun that they were just dancing, so I didn’t think there was anywhere for me to fit in.”
MC Shin Dongyup later asked Yoona if she planned to visit Leeteuk when he enlists. She answered, “If my schedule permits.”
Yoona continued, “While he is Super Junior’s leader, I feel that he also played a role as SM artists’ leader really well, and if he’s not in that position anymore, I wonder who is going to create good atmospheres like him.”
Finally, Yoona gave Leeteuk a signed copy of Girls’ Generation’s “MR. TAXI” album, saying, “If it would become of any help, this is to give him strength, with little messages. It’s a gift that’s not really like a gift.”

this proves SM entertainment is like a family. Teuk and Yoong unnie are really close. That gift might be just little, it provides strength and comfort. I wish Teuk will do good in the army. And for the leader, who?

Can i know which espisode is this i want to watch
ep 153..
but untill now, i dont get full vers with eng sub..
:(
Love the friendship between these two.
I being an ELF SONE this is a very beautiful moment for me. And we miss you Leeteuk :(
me too. i love Nateuk.I’m SONELF haha
while none of us can ever really tell what the true
feelings are between the members of snsd and leeteuk,
we can learn a large amount of civility from this situation.
while sone and elf continue to combat each other in
hostile, distasteful, and immature ways, the girls and guys
of these two groups have gotten together just fine. while
fans feel the need to fight to the death to protect their
respective band, the idols themselves have melded
into one cooperative group. if the idols themselves do not
see it practical to fight amongst themselves for their
respective interests, why do the fans? it is so much harder
to go out of your way to show animosity toward another
group than it is to just be positive about your own group.
the idols know this, and we all claim to love and emulate
our band, yet we conduct ourselves in the contrary. how
about we act like mature adults, as those who have the
most at stake have already decided to do.
Damnn… this couldn’t have been stated better. :D
Well said. I love and respect our girls and would dishonour them by fighting with other “fans.” Great job Franimal!
Yoona is beautiful and sweet. Don’t worry too much Yoona about whose going to “create good atmosphere” when he’s gone. I’m sure that whoever else that take up where he left off will make it better.
that sounded quite rude…as if leeteuk hasn’t done a good job or something lol
@elitsu oh well i wouldn’t know since Soshi is the only group i follow. sorry if it come out rude.
