Is Celebrity’s Family Life A “Right To Know?” Different Feedbacks Arise For Leeteuk

Popular boy group Superjunior's leader Leeteuk on January 6 lost his father and grandparents, and the public is expressing their opinions regarding the unveiling of Leeteuk's family life.

Many believe it is too cruel to have Leeteuk's family life uncovered, just because of the fact that he is a well-known celebrity.

In the beginning, the death of Leeteuk's father and grandparents were reported as a car accident. However, after the police announced that they speculate the three died of a suicide, the news disseminated incessantly.

The public's opinion in Korea is currently focusing on consoling Leeteuk. Chansung of 2PM, Joo Kwon of 2AM, and Ryeowook and Shindong of Superjunior have expressed their condolences on radio, Twitter, and in person.

SM Entertainment, Superjunior Leeteuk's agency, is asking the news media to refrain from specific, detailed reports. SM Entertainment in the morning of January 7 said, "Leeteuk is in a grave sadness. He is frustrated about the details of the deaths of his family spreading out in the news, and wishes to let them go quietly and peacefully."
