How tall is Super Junior’s Leeteuk? “I get smaller as I age”

Super Junior’s Leeteuk was recently humiliated on a TV show.
Super Junior members, who are keeping busy as singers and entertainers, appeared in the September 12 episode of MBC Every1′s Week Idol to talk about themselves.
Leeteuk, who has been checking other stars’ profiles, including heights and weights, on another TV show, made the entire crew laugh by talking about his own height.
His officially publicized height is 178 centimeters but group members denied it strongly by saying, “That’s absurd.”
Leeteuk said, “My backbone has curved as I get older. That why I am smaller.” He looked puzzled at first but he showed off his sense of humor so as not to reveal his real height.
Group members, however, told everyone about Leeteuk’s real height and changed his officially publicized height.
The show will air on September 12 at 6:00 p.m.
