Super Junior's Leeteuk has barely over a week until his enlistment on the 30th.

In an interview, he brightly revealed, "Time really does fly. Just a few days ago, I told Donghae, 'There's only 13 days left', and Donghae said, 'Hyung, it's 12 days.' And now there's about a week. I feel like I've experienced how time flies by so fast. I read that the world looks different according to how I think, so I'm trying to be optimistic."

Even though member Kangin had gone and come back from the army and Heechul is currently enlisted, Leeteuk's absence from the group has a different meaning because he has been the team's center as its leader.�

When asked who would be the leader in his place, he laughed and answered, "The members are so good that I'm just going to leave. If I give the spot to someone else and he does it so well, I'm going to have no place to stand when I come back. I'm going to tell them that I trust them and just go. I'm a bit worried, of course. The worst case scenario would be seeing the team weaken when I'm gone. I think.. I think that'd be hard. But I trust the members. I believe they'll do well."
