Luhan's friend updates a new picture onto SNS


Since departing SM Entertainment and EXOLuhan had kept quite a low profile during the beginning.  However, he is now starting to pop up more as he was not only found at a cafe in Beijing but also was seen in a picture posted by his friend onto SNS.

His friend recently wrote on Weibo, "Finally...No.4, sleep well," and posted a picture of the two together.  Again, Luhan has his head covered with a cap, but he does look quite healthy and happy as he smiles charismatically at the camera.  The friend was revealed to be his best friend named Coby.  

Leeteuk says he once discovered a high heel in Eunhyuk's room + ranks Super Junior's bodies


During a recent recording of KBS 2TV's '1 Vs. 100,' Leeteuk appeared and talked about the ban on having women in the house he shared with the other Super Junior members.

He said, "The most important rule in the boarding house is to not bring friends of the opposite sex over," revealing that no woman, except their coordinators, have ever entered the premises.

However, he then said, "We live with a first floor and a second floor, but one time,Eunhyuk called me, so I went down to his room.  However, there was a woman's high heel there.  I thought, 'Did he finally cause trouble?'" which caused the crowd to clamor.

In addition, he was asked which member had the best body, so he chose Siwon, saying, "He continuously exercises and maintains his body.  After him, I would pick myself and Donghae.  The remaining members greatly distance themselves from exercising," making everyone laugh.  

You can watch the episode with Leeteuk once it airs on October 28 to listen for yourself!

Leeteuk repeats that people can be unpredictable + recalls a strange encounter with a fan


On the October 28 edition of KBS 2TV's '1 vs. 100', Super Junior's Leeteuk made an appearance and he proved to be an entertaining guest with his blunt and honest approach to questions.

At one point, MC Han Suk Joon asked, "You became a hot topic as a fortune-teller on the internet.  Did you really know about it?"  He was likely addressing Leeteuk's previous comment on 'Radio Star' when Kim Gu Ra asked if Jessica's departure from Girls' Generation would be the last SM scandal.  Leeteuk had said, "You think that's the end, right?  You can never tell when it comes to people," after which Sungmin's wedding news came out.

Leeteuk replied to Han Suk Joon's question, "I said that without knowing.  You really can't tell when it comes to things with people.  A dating rumor with me could even come out tomorrow."

In addition, he recalled a strange encounter he had with a fan at one time.  On the show, comedian Park Na Rae said, "One of my friends tells me he/she saw you at the bathhouse.  Don't you feel uncomfortable when you see a fan?"

He replied, "It's okay.  Everything is fine, except I was asked to take a picture with all my clothes off.  Everything else is fine except for that.  I hear this and that, and I think it is quite nice."
