Super Junior's Leeteuk Calls Out Google Korea For Insensitive Use Of Photo Showing Him At His Family's Funeral

The leader of Super Junior took to Twitter to ask one Korean website to remove a highly sensitive photograph as his search term.

On July 20, Leeteuk (Park Jungsoo) shared a screenshot from his phone on Twitter, calling out the insensitivity of one Korean search site. The screenshot revealed that when the name "Leeteuk" was typed in, the first photo showed Leeteuk mourning during the funeral of his father and grandparents.

"I want to ask what I did wrong here," Leeteuk demanded to know on Twitter in a heartfelt post. "What was the site thinking to use this picture as my profile photo? I really want to ask. What did I ever do wrong to you?"

Leeteuk did not include the name of the website that upset him, but the screenshot appears to be showing the first featured picture on the mobile version of Google Korea. Google uses the most viewed sites and most searched terms to determine what appears during searches.

The most popular article relating to Leeteuk on the mobile version of Google Korea is a blog post allegedly claiming to explain why Leeteuk's father committed the murder-suicide, killing himself and Leeteuk's grandparents in 2014.

Leeteuk is in the middle of promoting Super Junior's latest song, "Devil," the title track off of Super Junior's special tenth anniversary album. This is the second album that Super Junior released since Leeteuk exited the Korean army in 2014. He debuted as the leader of Super Junior in 2005.
