    Our leader 💙🥰 our treasure 💙🥰

  • @Ejemima · 3y ago

    39 years old, currently going through their FOURTH tragedy, as a group, while having their 9th World tour, after their 11th comeback and just handling it all so well and professionally, but still showing he's just a humble human ❤️ I have mad respect for this guy! The pride we have for our hard working teukleader is something that haters can never take away. The bond between The last men standing and their EverLasting Friends, is stronger that ever these days 💙💙 R.I.P papa Lee 💔
