Apa itu 'Milk Club'?
Frasa 'Milk Club' pertama kali muncul ke permukaan setelah salah satu member Super Junior, Leeteuk menyebutnya dalam unggahan akun Cyworld pribadinya pada tahun 2009.
Dulu lewat akun Cyworld-nya, Leeteuk sering mengungkapkan bahwa dia merasa kesepian dan selalu menyembunyikan air mata kesedihannya di balik senyum dan tawa yang dia tampilkan di layar kaca.
Dalam salah satu unggahannya, Leeteuk lalu membahas soal 'Milk Club' atau yang dia sebut sebagai 'perkumpulan jiwa-jiwa depresi'.
Pada tanggal 26 Juli 2009 Leeteuk menuliskan, "I like quiet places..I like places without people..Thinking it this way, indeed I’m in the Milk Club."
Lalu pada hari yang sama dia kembali menguggah sebuah status, "Milk Club. A gathering of depressed souls. Lots of depressed feelings. It feels like I’m starting to enjoy the depression period. Always struggling in loneliness. There have been lots of tears. Hope everyone can understand that loneliness. I thought I had a good ability to hide this loneliness. For the sake of hiding my depression, I joked around more. Like to act fine. But that was definitely not fine."

Artis lain SM yang tergabung sebagai anggota
Dalam status Cyworld-nya, Leeteuk menyebutkan bahwa Taeyeon, YoonA, Onew dan Yoochun sebagai anggota lain 'Milk Club'.
"We decided to call each other court ladies. Court Lady Teuk, Court Lady Taeng, Court Lady Yoong. Although there have been many applications. 3 members (Taeyeon,Yoona) must agree together then others can register.
Now Yoochun and Onew have come onto the list. In the future, this club, will live better in order to overcome depression.
Thinking of giving each other mutual support. Sorrow..Escaping from pain..Happiness..We're anticipating to share it among all of us. In the future, Milk Club (Gathering of depressed souls). Hope the meaning will be ‘milk.. made in lovely kin.."
Leeteuk kemudian menuliskan struktur 'organisasi' yang menyebutkan dirinya memegang peranan sebagai 'Presiden', YoonA sebagai 'Wakil Presiden' dan Taeyeon sebagai 'Manajer'.

Kekhawatiran fans
Setelah Jonghyun dikabarkan meninggal pada Senin (18/12) lalu, beberapa fans kemudian mulai mengungkit kembali soal 'Milk Club' ini.
Dalam sebuah forum onehallyu yang membahas Taeyeon menyukai dua unggahan foto Jonghyun di Instagram setelah sang member SHINee dikabarkan meninggal, seorang fans menyampaikan kekhawatirannya akan keadaan mental Taeyeon.
"Taeyeon has suffered from mental health issues for a long time, and i believe she mentioned not being in the best place after her accident...
Jonghyun was a dear friend of hers...I hope she gets the help/support she needs as well as the rest of those close to Jonghyun."
Fans yang lain pun menyuarakan kekhawatiran serupa, "Taeyeon was a known member of SM’s Milk club, so she has been known to have suffered (or is suffering?) from mental illness and her and Jonghyun were especially close.
I really do hope that she and all those close to Jonghyun are given time to grieve in the way they need to and are able to seek professional help if necessary."
Berbeda dari kekhawatiran fans-fans tersebut, beberapa fans lain yakin bahwa 'Milk Club' udah enggak eksis lagi saat ini.
"I don't think it exists anymore and I don't think Jinki was in the club much to be honest? He hadn't debuted yet or it was during the time when they had debuted considering Yoochun was there and he doesn't seem to be that close with the members of the 'milk club' that much except Yoona."
Salah satu fans juga menyebutkan bahwa SM dulu sempat menegur Leeteuk atas unggahan 'Milk Club' -nya dan sejak saat itu perkumpulan tersebut juga langsung dibubarkan.
"Wasn't he reprimanded by SM for that post? Saying he can't be that way and had to think about lifting peoples moods. He posted about it shortly after and the milk club was disbanded."
