ELF Show Support After Tragedy


Following the horrible news of the deaths of Leeteuk’s father and grandparents, ELF around the world have been showing their support for the beloved leader of Super Junior.


Fans were shocked to hear his family members had passed away and immediately turned to social media to show their support. #StayStrongLeeteuk and #StayStrongParkJungsoo quickly became twitter trends around the globe. Kpop stars and various celebrities also began sending their condolences to Leeteuk. The outpouring of support from both fans and celebrities show how well-liked and respected Leeteuk is in the Kpop world.


When the official report was released concerning the tragic circumstances of the deaths, fans were heartbroken to realize the further difficulties Leeteuk and his family will be facing in the aftermath of such a tragedy.


“It’s hard enough dealing with the loss of one loved one, but facing the loss of three family members at once is almost more than you can bear,” said one fan. “Now for the whole world to know the details of their deaths is horrible. I can’t imagine what Teukie is going through right now. I am praying for him and his family.”


Another fan stated, “He is so kind and tender-hearted, I cannot imagine his heartbreak right now. I hope his faith and the love and support of all those that care for him will carry him through this difficult time. It’s so awful to be going through all of this, especially in the spotlight of the media and the public.”


Others tweeted messages such as, “Prayers to them and their families. May they be given enough time and space to grieve in peace” and “Telling him we still love him no matter what and praying for him is always the best thing to do. May God be with them through this time. Another also tweeted, “Leeteuk has always shown ELF his love and support. Now it is our turn to return the favor.”


The ELF fandom has always been well-known for their friendliness and the family-like bond among themselves. They are also known for their dedicated support and faithful love for Super Junior over the years. It is evident that they are truly hurting for their SJ leader and showing their support in the only way they know how.


Though many pages are sharing more details surrounding this tragedy, as the writer of this article, I will not be doing so out of respect for Leeteuk and his family. I can only sincerely offer my condolences to the Park family and assure them they have my full support and prayers during this difficult time.
