During a special segment of “Super Junior’s Foresight,” Super Junior’s Leeteuk revealed how he was under the ‘special care‘ of an older woman during his trainee days. In response to his unique confession, many media outlets begun labeling his ex-girlfriend as a ’sponsor.’

On February 9th, Leeteuk expressed his disappointment and retorted, “Please refrain from using such exploitative news titles for promotional reasons. It does not feel good.”

According to Leeteuk, his ’sponsor’ took care of him from head to toe even giving him extra pocket change when he went shopping or to the salon. Leeteuk stated, “It was both psychologically and financially helpful“.

What do you think? Is the word, ’sponsor’ a little harsh?
