Super Junior member Leeteuk was involved in a harrowing traffic accident.

On the 30th, Leeteuk revealed via his Instagram that "Porsche purchased my Taycan GTS after the Ambassador program ended." He added, "This vehicle had just completed PPF treatment and filming, and was a brand-new car driven only 800 kilometers in exactly two weeks. Even the seat plastic hadn't been fully removed when a rear-end collision occurred on the highway."

He described the impact as "feeling like being hit by a hammer all over my body," recalling the shock of the accident. He further stated, "The rear of the car was severely damaged, and repair costs alone are nearing 14 million won. The brand-new car instantly became an accident vehicle, leaving me heartbroken. Due to the shock from the accident, I am suffering from severe pain in my neck and lower back. I am currently undergoing physical therapy every single day."

He also added, "The accident happened in such an unprepared state that I was extremely shocked. Currently, I am managing a schedule that overlaps with new album preparation, tour planning, and TV recording, along with caring for my pet dog, Kung. Given the surrounding circumstances, handling all the accident-related communications and procedures alone (without SM's intervention) is a bit overwhelming, but I will try to resolve this matter cheerfully and properly."

Previously, Leeteuk had revealed that his pet dog, Kung, was diagnosed with heart disease and pulmonary edema. He remarked, "It took a very long time for the car to arrive after the order was placed, and just as soon as it arrived, Kung fell ill and I was in an accident. I feel this car simply doesn't suit me." He also shared his intention to "sell the car immediately after repairs, even if the financial loss is significant."

Meanwhile, Leeteuk has a history of traffic accidents. In April 2007, while returning to his accommodation after finishing a KBS radio schedule with Super Junior members Kyuhyun, Shindong, and Eunhyuk, he was involved in a rollover accident on Olympic-daero near Banpo Bridge, sustaining serious injuries. At the time, Kyuhyun narrowly escaped death, and the vehicle was completely destroyed.

In 2011, Leeteuk was involved in a seven-car pileup accident in Singapore along with Kim Hee-chul. A car carrying fans collided with the van Leeteuk and Kim Hee-chul were in, followed by five additional vehicles rear-ending the chain, resulting in a major accident. At the time, Leeteuk shared his feelings on SNS, saying, "It's nice that our car is being followed, but please drive carefully," and added, "A seven-car front-and-rear collision. I almost died."
