SM Entertainment’s U.S. stop for SMTOWN Live was full of lights, screams—and eyebrow-raising comments. Super Junior’s Leeteuk stirred up drama after shouting, “I love USA, I love Elon Musk, I love In-N-Out!” during his closing speech. It might’ve hyped the crowd in the moment, but online? Not so much! Fans set social media on fire, with critiques over the Musk mention, calling it tone-deaf and insensitive.

It didn’t stop there. A longer video surfaced, and some claimed Leeteuk possibly shouted “Donald Trump.” Others insist he said “Chipotle.” But with no clear audio and zero clarification, fans are split—some say he should’ve been more aware of America’s political climate, others think the moment has been blown out of proportion.
SM Entertainment has stayed silent so far, which only fuels the fire. While some demand an apology, the company and the Super Junior member seem to be totally chill. One thing’s clear, though: that mic drop moment was anything but smooth.
