SM Entertainment launched a new boy group RIIZE in early September, and their debut showcase will be led by fellow Super Junior leader Lee Teuk. I wonder if this picture looks familiar to you? Because in the past ten years or so, every time SM releases a new idol, it seems that they always invite the same MC XD
On September 2, 2009, the girl group f(x) held a debut showcase at the Samseongdong Fiber Center in Seoul, with Leeteuk and Girls’ Generation’s Sunny as MCs:
On March 31, 2012, EXO held the “EXO Debut Showcase”at the Olympic Hall in Seoul Olympic Park, South Korea, with Leeteuk as the MC:
On February 7, 2018, NCT held its first V LIVE broadcast “WELCOME NCT 2018″with all members, with Leeteuk as the MC:
The girl group aespa debuted on November 7, 2020, and held an online press conference for the new single “Next Level”on May 17, 2021, with Leeteuk as the MC:
On September 4, 2023, RIIZE held its debut showcase “RIIZING DAY: RIIZE Premiere”, and the MC was still Liteuk:
Netizens joked that Leeteuk “delivered babies”to many of SM’s new junior groups, calling him SM’s internal midwife. They also complained that SM had not arranged for Leeteuk to make a solo debut, and they ignored the fact that he had just suffered from enteritis the day before RIIZE’s debut, questioning SM. Entertainment treats Li Te unfairly.
