Super Junior member Leeteuk is dealing with renewed fan criticism following clips from a recent concert that appear to show him interacting with people linked to his rumored girlfriend. The idol previously denied bringing her to events during a live stream.
Dating rumors involving Leeteuk and a woman 18 years his junior first emerged last year after the pair were seen together. He addressed the speculation directly in a live stream at the time.
New footage from a concert has since surfaced, showing Leeteuk walking the aisles and high-fiving three people while passing another seated nearby. Fans claim the three are friends of the rumored girlfriend.
During a later live stream, a fan confronted Leeteuk about bringing his girlfriend to the show. He replied that he had not done so and asked the fan not to say strange things.
Criticism online has centered on the high-five moment rather than the relationship itself, with some fans expressing disappointment over perceived favoritism toward VIP ticket holders.
