Super Junior’s Leeteuk and Kang Sora began filming for ‘We Got Married’?

 

Although the PDs of MBC‘s ‘We Got Married‘ vehemently denied that Super Junior‘s Leeteuk and actress Kang Sora were the show’s new couple, an increasing amount of evidence is starting to prove otherwise.

On October 6th, the two were spotted filming together at the Kimhae Airport in Busan, confirming many theories that the two were indeed the new couple. Previously on October 1st, the show released a preview that showed the bottom half of a woman’s face, and fans speculated that the lips matched Kang Sora’s.

Kang Sora hit jackpot earlier this year with her movie, “Sunny“, and is currently starring in KBS’s daily drama, “Women of Our Home“.

Boom and Super Junior’s Leeteuk to temporarily take over Kang Ho Dong’s position in ‘Star King’

 

It’s just been announced that Boom and Super Junior‘s Leeteuk will be taking over MC Kang Ho Dong‘s place in SBS‘s ‘Star King‘.

Kang Ho Dong‘s decision to temporarily retire earlier this month left the seat vacant for quite some time, and so producers decided to bring in Boom and Leeteuk to fill his role.  Episodes with Kang Ho Dong will run until October 8th before recordings with the two new MCs begin.

Although it was previously revealed that Kim Sung Joo was the most likely candidate for the role, producers felt that a two-person position would be better for the show, especially since Boom and Leeteuk are known for their work together on ‘Strong Heart’ as fixed guests.  Since their MCing skills have already been acknowledged by viewers, they became the most likely choice.

On September 29th, producers of SBS revealed, “Boom and Leeteuk’s positions are temporary and the producers will continue to work to direct the show down a new path.”

Aiding Boom and Leeteuk on the sidelines will be Byun Gi Soo and Jo Hye Ryun.  A third MC position is currently in discussion.

Super Junior members expose Leeteuk’s ‘Jekyll and Hyde’ personality

 

Super Junior’s Leeteuk had his ‘Jekyll and Hyde’ personality exposed by his fellow members on the latest broadcast of SBS’s “Strong Heart“! This episode featured appearances from Leeteuk, Heechul, Siwon, Ryeowook, Yesung, Kyuhyun, Sungmin, Donghae, Eunhyuk, and Shindong.

Donghae began, “As the leader, Leeteuk stepped up and said that he’d directly tell the manager our complaints. However, Heechul went up first and came to tell Leeteuk, ‘It’s your turn next,’ but Leeteuk said that he didn’t know anymore and washed his hands of the issue. He turned Heechul and the other members into the bad guys.”

Shindong continued “At an overseas shooting, Sungmin and Eunhyuk jokingly teased Leeteuk, but after a little while, Leeteuk’s mood suddenly changed and he told them to stop. Leeteuk gave Sungmin, Eunhyuk, and I an evil glare, and then grabbed Eunhyuk’s neck.” Shindong then gestured grabbing a neck, which caused the audience to laugh uproariously.

Leeteuk cheekily responded, “Shindong is too big and Sungmin learned martial arts, so a skinny person like Eunhyuk was the easiest to grab.”

Other double personality stories about Leeteuk were also told by Siwon, Yesung, Eunhyuk, and Heechul.

Boom gets discharged from the army

 

On August 22nd, rapper/MC Boom finally completed his two years of military service, and was welcomed back by hundreds of fans and reporters at the gate.

The producers of SBS’s ‘Strong Heart‘ had prepared a special banner that read “BOOM’S BACK” near the area. Before officially making his exit, Boom bid his farewell to his fellow celebrity soldiers, Lee Junki, Kim Ji Suk, Lee Dong Gun, Andy, and Park Hyo Shin. The group was seen hugging and shaking hands, congratulating Boom on his discharge.

‘Boom Academy’ members Super Junior’s Leeteuk, Shindong, Eunhyuk, as well as singer Jay Park greeted Boom once he finally stepped outside. When asked how he felt, he replied, “I trained my hardest, knowing that it’s my duty to my nation. Now I believe that my duty is to bring happiness and joy to our citizens, so I will be using what I learned in the army to passionately make everyone laugh on TV.”

When asked if he had prepared any variety skills while serving, Boom replied, “A lot of people were probably curious about that, but I was dutiful to my training and watched variety shows whenever I had the time. I didn’t have a lot of time to prepare any personal skills, but I do have about 1,000 ideas.”

Commenting on his actual service, he said, “I’m grateful to my time in the army because it allowed me to see and understand myself for who I truly am. What I felt within my service was that the Korean army is stronger than what’s perceived externally. I hope that everyone puts their trust in us and lives happily.”

Boom then told Leeteuk, “I think it’s fortunate that you protected ‘Strong Heart’ until my discharge. Thank you so much for giving me so much love before and after my service.”

Concluding his interview, he said, “My goal is to now hold on tight to the hands of my juniors and slowly walk forward. I’ll be walking forward with the big steps I learned in the army.”

Boom will be returning to ‘Strong Heart’ on September 1st in addition to DJing for SBS’s ‘Young Street‘.
