Super Junior is still going strong though this year marks their 8th anniversary as a group.
Super Junior held a press conference for their new 6th album “Sexy, Free & Single” on July 3rd at 11 AM at the Imperial Palace Hotel in Nonhyun-dong of Seoul.
Leeteuk was asked about how the group was number one on the Taiwanese music charts for 100 weeks. The leader answered, “We heard that it’s quite a feat even from the locals there. We’re wondering if we’re worthy of receiving such love for so long. Even among us we’re curious about such a record. Thank you so much for your love and support. We hope you’ll support us on our new release “Sexy, Free & Single” as well. We want to go see our Taiwanese fans soon.”
Super Junior’s “Bonamana” off of their 4th album in 2010 topped the chart in Taiwan starting in June and lasted for 63 weeks at number one until August of 2011. Then, their title song “Mr. Simple” from their 5th album replaced “Bonamana” as number one for another 64 straight
weeks, giving them the record of 100 straight weeks at the top spot.
Their new album is the first release in 11 months and will feature the return of Kang-in since he has recently completed his military service. The title song “Sexy, Free & Single” is described to showcase a Super Junior-esque rhythm and an addictive chorus.
There’s also a song to show their fans (ELFs) their gratitude for sticking with them for the past 8 years. The song is titled “From U”. It’s about the relationship between a star and celebrity, where though there are rough patches, the love for each other is always there.
Super Junior will make their official TV comeback on M! Countdown on July 5th.
