Super Junior's Leeteuk has found himself in the hot seat after expressing his love for the current U.S. president, Donald Trump, during a recent SM concert.

On May 11, SM Entertainment held a large-scale concert titled 'SMTOWN LIVE 2025' at Dignity Health Sports Park in Los Angeles, commemorating the company’s 30th anniversary. 

Many artists representing SM Entertainment joined this commemorative event and spent time with fans. During the concert, Leeteuk shouted: “I love USA,” “I love Elon Musk,” “I love In-N-Out,” and “I love Trump.” A clip of the moment later spread on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), stirring a discussion online.

This moment has garnered much attention on various overseas social media platforms and sparked a discussion in popular Korean online forums. Korean netizens facepalmed in reaction and commented:

"Did he need to say that?"

"Geez..."

"Does he have a brain? The vast majority of overseas K-pop fans lean liberal. Way to alienate and anger your fanbase."

"He hasn't changed. Stop giving him the mic."

"That's the same thing as someone coming to Korea and yelling, I love Yoon Suk Yeol!"

"He has no clue... Does he think people who like K-pop really support Trump??"

"He needs to close his mouth."

"Why... just why?"

"He's still ignorant as ever."

"Is he serious?"

"This is like a pop star coming to Korea and shouting 'I love Yoon Suk Yeol' during a concert... lol."

"Please be quiet."

"He's in the heart of the Democrat area in LA and California. What is he even thinking?"

"Someone take that mic away from him."

"This is so embarrassing."

"He's so pathetic."

"He needs to always be at the center of attention."

"He really needs to shut his mouth."

"This isn't even surprising. Just embarrassing."

"Has he not matured with age?"
