After it was amusingly revealed that Leeteuk mistook a Yeonwoo fan account for Yeonwoo herself, he took to Instagram to apologize for the mistake and claims he just wanted to show support.
Leeteuk took to his Instagram to clear up the confusion. He posted a photo of the screen capture in question and captioned his post, “I just wanted to send a message of support to a junior who is always working hard in broadcasts, or this time, for the 2018 Asia Song Festival.. [Crying face] It’s my fault, I’m really sorry Yeonwoo. I’d like to apologize to fans who were surprised by my sudden DM.” He then included the hashtags, “I called out ‘Hey, Yeonwoo.’” and “Old person.”
I mean I guess trying smash is showing support in a way.
