Leeteuk is the best leader in kpop. Period. No doubt about it.
I will admit, I’m not entirely objective on this matter–Super Junior was the group that got me into kpop, and they’re still in my top 3. But I think that regardless of how much you love them (or don’t), you can and should recognize Leeteuk’s skill and strength at being a leader.
Also I just want to make it clear that I will neverput down an idol or group just because there’s one I happen to like more. I’m not trying to disparage other leaders by saying this. There are so many incredible leaders in kpop, and all of them deserve enormous amounts of recognition and admiration. I just say that Leeteuk is the best leader because of everything that he’s done for Suju, other groups and the world as a whole. Also here’s a read more since I’m sure not all of you want to read all this.
“What he really wanted was someone like — someone like a parent: an adult wizard whose advice he could ask without feeling stupid, someone who cared about him (…) . And then the solution came to him. It was so simple, and so obvious, that he couldn’t believe it had taken so long — Sirius.”
You know what breaks my heart? The fact that if Hagrid had let Sirius take Harry, Sirius would probably have had more control and wouldn’t have gone after Peter and wouldn’t have been charged with the murder of Peter and twelve muggles. Because he had to watch over Harry. Get his godson to safety. And he could have told someone that it was Peter who betrayed the Potters and Peter would have gone to Azkaban. And Harry would have grown up with his godfather. And he would have known about his parents. And he would have been somewhere where he was loved. And Sirius wouldn’t have had all that endless guilt stored inside himself because he would have his godson. And he would do whatever he could to do right by him.
I’m not saying it’s completely foolproof because I know Peter set him up, but. I like to think that Sirius would have had a better chance if he could have taken Harry with him.
That, and also if Dumbledore has spoken up for him at his trial, but that’s a different post entirely.
