Super Junior's Leeteuk revealed his relationship with BTS's J-Hope.
In the 364th episode of JTBC's entertainment show 'Knowing Brothers' (hereinafter referred to as 'My Brother'), which aired on the 31st, the group Super Junior, who made a comeback with the new song 'Celebrate', appeared as a guest.
On this day, Knowing Brothers was featured as a ‘Closing Ceremony Special’ to end the year of 2022. Shindong, who was the MC for the closing ceremony, asked, “If you could have a phone call with just one person for the last time this year, who would it be?”
Eunhyuk said, "Among my fans, there is a paid communication service for me. I want to talk to that friend who called me 'baby' there and he said 'wow' and I asked 'wow who are you?' I want to ask him why he did that." It caused laughter.
Kang Ho-dong mentioned soccer player Lee Kang-in. He said, "I love Chedong (gym brother). I don't know his phone number, but he's a shooting stoner. I really did my best and I want to thank him for his hard work."
Leeteuk showed off his unexpected connection by saying, "I have a close relationship with him. Donghae and I were invited to La Liga when we were at Balenciaga."
He also said, “We watch games and talk together, and we are friends. So when I congratulated him and thanked him when he advanced to the round of 16, (Lee Kang-in) responded, ‘Thank you, brother.’”
Shindong said, "First, Leeteuk finally became the representative of building 203 after a fierce battle for a good apartment to live in. He got everyone, not just the women's association president, on his side. As expected, Leeteuk really grabbed the power. He lives in the same apartment. “There is a story that J-Hope’s parents also voted for Leeteuk,” he said, unfolding a situational drama.
Leeteuk said, "Ever since my brother went on TV, he kept talking to me. One time, I went to exercise and he did the exercise upside down and said 'Teukya'. When I turned the machine around and looked at him, it was my first time seeing him. I asked who he was and he said 'Me and me'. He said, ‘You have to become close.’ We became too close.”
Knowing Brothers members and Super Junior also had time to solve various problems ranging from the MZ Culture Quiz to the 2022 Lyrics of the Year and the Line of the Year.
Kyuhyun, who took first place, created a warm atmosphere by saying, "I am grateful that this is an award given to me who is very interested in my colleagues. I hope you will call me often."
