However, some of the things he commented on seemed to have angered those involved, and netizens have been buzzing about them since the statements were released. In particular, the statements relate to his claim to have been a part of Super Junior at the beginning of the group’s formation.
In the interview, Kim Taehoon claimed that Super Junior had 15 members, and that he was picked to be part of the group due to his ability to perform MC duties. He eventually left SM Entertainment before ever debuting with the agency. He also commented that Super Junior now only has 11 members.
Earlier today, Leeteuk tweeted, "What is with the non-sense article about us beginning with 15 members and having only 11 members now? It's different when a group has been formed during the training days in comparison to when a group is really debuting. Isn't it kind of ridiculous to say that you have been part of a group when you have only been involved for only a little while? If that's the case, I would have been a part of every senior group."
Since then, the article with the original interview with Kim Taehoon has been taken down, along with Leeteuk’s angry tweet.
