Leeteuk’s family died when he was in military Leeteuk’s case may be the most heart-broken
story to be told.
During his time in the military, Leeteuk’s father and grandparents had been found dead
in their residency on the 6th of January 2014.
It was reported that Leeteuk’s grandparents had been suffocated to death by Leeteuk’s
father, their own son, and the reason was that “he could not afford to take care of
them”.
Leeteuk’s grandfather had been suffering from dementia and his grandmother had been
suffering from some forms of cancer.
Needless to say, Leeteuk was extremely shocked and had a total breakdown when hearing the
news.
At the time, he suffered from serious depression, and it was so bad that the military suggested
they give him an early discharge because of his condition.
In a previous interview on MBC’s “Good Day,” Leeteuk doesn’t shy away from talking
about his painful past and how it changed him and made him stronger Voice đọc xong
chỗ him stronger thì mới chèn cái này vào.
He also talked about his depression on multiple occasions to encourage youngsters to stay
positive and keep on fighting.
Not only that, Leeteuk also revealed that before his father died, he had left him a
spiteful one last message and a debt of 5 million won.
Leeteuk then had to sell his car and accepted every job possible in order to pay his father’s
debt.
What shows just how amazing of a human being he was, was the fact that he could have chosen
not to pay the debt, but he did.

Kyuhyun in a serious car accident in 2007 On April 19, 2007, netizens were shocked by
the news of the accident involving 3 Super Junior members.
This is probably the most terrifying accident in Kpop history during the past decade.
Specifically, on the way back from the night radio broadcast, the car which carried Leeteuk,
Eunhyuk and Kyuhyun and the staff lost control, hit the lane and then overturned.
Kyuhyun unfortunately was the most injured member, w ith a broken rib, a punctured lung
and was close to death.
12 years after the nightmare night, Kyuhyun mentioned the accident on the show "My Little
Old Boy".
He shared that the doctor told him that he needed to have surgery to cut his throat and
insert a tube, but his father didn’t agree with that.
That is scary.
Just imagine if his father had agreed, Kyuhyun wouldn't have continued to be an idol by now.
Earlier, when talking about the moment he was close to death, Kyuhyun recalled that
he suddenly remembered the beautiful memories from his childhood and fainted.
The doctor at the time announced the chance of him surviving was extremely low (only 20%),
but fortunately, a miracle happened.
More than 3 months after the tragic accident, Kyuhyun was discharged from the hospital and
"lived a second life".
However, to this day, Kyuhyun is still in constant pain because of that serious injury
in the past.
His face was also marked with a large pitted patch and that makes fans heartbroken every
time they look at Kyuhyun's face.

crying.

Wendy’s accident on SBS Gayo Daejun K-pop fans might not be unfamiliar with the
accident of Wendy (Red Velvet) at the end of 2019.
At that time, Red Velvet had just released the song “Psycho”, and they first performed
the song at SBS’s annual Gayo Daejun event.
But unfortunately, during the rehearsal of the collaboration stage with other idols,
Wendy fell from a platform and got serious injuries.
Some staff who witnessed the accident reported that she had prepared to go down the stairs
during the song, but the stairs were not set in place, so she lost her balance and fell
down the stage.
The staff also went on to explain that in addition to the stairs not being ready, the
tunnel "was dark and cramped" and did not even have the fluorescent markings required
to make it visible.
Wendy was then immediately brought to hospital and diagnosed with fractures in her pelvis
and wrist as well as injuries to her face.
The news shocked all K-pop fans and other Red Velvet members themselves.
But what makes netizens angry is that SBS didn’t have a proper apology for their carelessness.
Because of the accident, Wendy had to cancel every schedule with Red Velvet to focus on
receiving treatment and recovery.
However, Wendy shared on the 7th anniversary of the group that she thought she was more
upgraded, that those times had been much help to her and she thought it had been a much-needed
time.

Jiyeon (T-ara) having the feeling of losing her identity
Depression and anxiety are the common mental issues that many K-pop idols have faced because
of the pressure to cater to the public.
Although idols have the tendency to not show their struggles with mental health, there
are still a couple of celebrities who have opened up about it.
And Jiyeon is one of them.
On the May 20 episode of Mnet’s “4 Things Show: Outrageous Interview”, Jiyeon appeared
and had a psychological test during the program, where she vocalized her serious stresses and
concerns.
The psychologist said that Jiyeon was having a really hard time, and in her current state,
she needed professional help.
The psychologist also advises her that she should find someplace to recharge, meet good
people, and have positive relationships.
Hearing those words, Jiyeon started to shed tears.
She said that at some point, she felt like she had lost herself.
Sometimes, there was more to her than what people might necessarily think, and she had
become afraid of people’s gazes.
According to her sharing, we know that she has been covering her fear and problems for
such a long time.
She can’t run away from the pressure of living up to the public’s standard, and
that makes
her mental issues more serious.
