Leeteuk bid his final goodbye to "Kiss The Radio" after more than ten years of hosting the radio program on Sunday. The Super Junior member played their 2005 hit "Miracle" as his finale song with show.

"There will be a bit of a change to our daily lives starting tomorrow. It's scary when the things we're used to in our lives change. Don't try to repress your feelings, and please miss [the show] as much as your heart desires," Leeteuk told his fans during his final "Kiss The Radio" episode.

The Super Junior member tuned in to his final episode with "Kiss The Radio" aired on Oct. 2. Leeteuk took to his Naver account to thank his fans who supported the radio program for more than a decade.

"Thank you for doing this together with me for ten years and two months," he said as per Soompi. Leeteuk added he only realized the meaning behind the song "Miracle" when he played it during his "Kiss The Radio" finale.

"Thank you to everyone! Our line has been able to continue thanks to our members, the PDs, staff, and all of the "Kiss The Radio" family... I love you. Goodbye," the Super Junior wrote.

Previously, a source affiliated with KBS announced Leeteuk's departure from "Kiss The Radio" was decided by the show's producers after long talks, Allkpop reported. It was later confirmed by SM Entertainment who said Leeteuk is currently caught up with his busy schedule, making him decide to leave the radio program.

After the announcement, rumor has it that Leeteuk's departure from "Kiss The Radio" will lead to the cancellation of the show. However, reports suggest FTISLAND's Lee Hong Ki will take over the radio program starting Oct. 17.

For the meantime, guest hosts will lead "Kiss The Radio" before Lee permanently takes on the radio program.
