🐤: When I asked, "What is my name?", they told me, "Leeteuk."
I cried immediately. "Leeteuk"? Not even "E.T."... what kind of name is "Leeteuk"? I really cried a lot. I said, "I won't debut, I can't promote and work under the name Leeteuk."
At that time, the members teased me so much: "Isn't it E.T.? E.T." I think Yesung teased me the most, I still remember. He said, "Woah! Hyung, what are you going to do? What are you going to do?" while my tears were falling... I said, "Ah, I really can't do this, what is Leeteuk? What is E.T.?"
However, since a dinner meeting was already scheduled, I decided to ask to change the name during that dinner. I sat next to Teacher Lee Soo-man. It was while we were eating grilled tripe (yangdaechang) or something like that... I don't remember the exact name of the restaurant, but I remember its location clearly.
When we met and started eating, I wanted to take the chance and said, "Teacher, but... isn't Leeteuk..."
At that time, I had a few names that I brought with me, as my mother had gone to naming centers and brought me several options. Among them was the name "Sehyun", "Sehyun-i", and there was a name starting with "Ye...", about three names in total.
I asked him, "What do you think of names like these?"
He said, "No, Leeteuk. Isn't the name Leeteuk so great?"
So I asked him, "What meaning does the name Leeteuk carry for it to be this nice?"
He replied, "Hey! Kangta was like that, Junjin was like that, and Hyesung was like that... Aren't their names so cool? Didn't they love their names when I named them? They liked them very much. And you will like it too, right? Don't you like it?"
I told him, "Yes, but... don't you think the name Leeteuk or E.T. sounds a bit heavy or sharp to pronounce? Will it be suitable?"
He said, "No, it's a great name. It means (the special kid in this world). Leeteuk... isn't it great? The special kid in this world. This name carries a very beautiful meaning. You are going to become a special person in this world. Your seniors (sunbaes) loved the names I chose for them, and you will like yours too, right?"
So I answered, "Yes..."
Then I went back to the dorm that day, and I think it was Yesung - according to my memory it was Yesung - who asked me, "Hyung, what happened?"
I told him, "It's over... I couldn't change it."
When the teacher asks you, "Isn't it pretty? Your seniors loved it so much, and you will like it too, right?"... who could say to his face, "I hate it so much, I can't do it"? He put me in a situation where I had no choice but to agree. As long as he said my seniors loved it and I would like it too, I had no choice but to say, "Ah... yes, it's really great."
And because of that, even though it's a stage name, I have been working and promoting under this name for 21 consecutive years.
But what I like about it is that I have my real name, and whenever I need to write my name somewhere I can use my real name, so I think that's a good thing.
