They trust him so much. Sometimes too much.

That's why when new kpop fans talk about best leaders in kpop, I always mention Leeteuk. Arguably, I could say that he is the best because of his sacrifice, patience and love that he gave to his members. The fact that he has to carry 12 people on his back (trainee until now) while he himself has problems and issues speaks how great of a leader and a person Leeteuk is.

I watched the episode when Teuk told the story about him took the coins Yunho saved. Back then I was so young and during that time, fanwar between these 2 fandoms were still common. Back then, as a Cassiopeia i thought Leeteuk was so bad for 'stealing' from Yunho who worked hard to save all those coins. But as i older know, I recalled back and could imagine how hard back then as a trainee. Especially during SuJu tvxq trainee times wasn't like how idol traine these days. Now I'm so proud of these two groups for them still standing strong until now.. Leeteuk is seriously another level of best leader i must say..

[@bluesapphire4262]

Even when they were joking around in a chaos, 90% of the times they'll looked at Leeteuk whenever they needed something, be it a decision, new gag moves, greeting, etc. And like in Super TV eps 8, when Leeteuk prompted them, their first instinct is to follow him (even if they teased him again when they regained their sense, but it's painfully obvious from their body language that they automatically follow and obey).

So if they were already traines why they struggled so hard, why the company they were training for didn't took care of them? They seriously didn't provide them with anything, a nice place to say, make sure they had food? Or was it something like you are working for free and you all have to figure out things on your own and you won't receive anything until after you debut if you actually make it big?
