Leeteuk Dead? Super Junior Singer Becomes Victim of Twitter Death Hoax

Leeteuk is dead. At least that's what Twitter is saying. However the South Korean Super Junior singer, whose real name is Park Jeong-Su, didn't die. He's just the victim of a Twitter death hoax. Leeteuk is just fine.

Rumors started going around this week that Leeteuk died. A photo of what appears to be a real CNN article made rounds on Twitter. The article says that the 29-year-old enlisted singer died in friendly fire from an unnamed soldier.

The article is fake. It's nothing more than a good PhotoShop job. The real CNN article about this doesn't exist. In fact no news sources have reported on the singer's supposed death.

Many pointed to a Twitter user named Cheryl as the person who started the rumor. The user, whose handle is @makeup admitted to spreading the rumor and making it a trend on Twitter.

"Basically I started a rip leeteuk trend and it's gone viral and elfs are so mad
