Super Junior, who is finally making a comeback after 1 year and 2 months, very frankly admits that they are paying a lot of attention to rankings in terms of album sales.

Super Junior made their comeback through Music Bank on the 5th. On that day, they performed main title song Mr. Simple as well as Superman, showing off great dance moves and a wonderful performance filled with power.

At the waiting room in KBS, the reporter met Heechul, and he exclaimed, “It’s been so long since I last performed, I’m old already”. “Among the group of idols that performed, we are the oldest among them, and the rest are all small kids. When hoobaes greet us, memories from last time would resurface, feels like time has flown by too quickly.”He also added that, “Recently because it’s the time of the girl groups, so I was very excited to return, but when we came back, there weren’t many girl groups left, so I feel that It was a pity. There are too many guy groups.” Leeteuk commented that, “Meeting our fans after a long time, I feel very excited and because as compared to other times, we are receiving much more love and care, and also because we’re finally standing on stage again.”

Super Junior’s previous album, Bonamana from last year clinched first position for being 2010’s highest album sales, so there are even higher expectations for this album this time round. Since the album release on the 3rd, sales have already exceeded 50000 copies. Initial preorders have also exceeded 160000 copies.

Leeteuk frankly says that, “Honestly, we pay a lot of attention to rankings. Today, we also looked at our positions on the charts. It seems like we are doing well in album sales and digital sales as well.” Smiling, he also said, “Standing on stage, we also wish that these good results will not stop, and we will keep looking forward to it.” “The dance for this time is highly rhythmic and simplified, something like moves we can see in the clubs.” Mr. Simple is about people in the modern fast-paced society who are unable to achieve their hopes and dreams in reality, and uses whimsical and humorous metaphors to express that. Leeteuk comments, “There are good times in life, and in the working world there are bad times as well. For singers, there are also similar situations. So through our song, we hope to give many people strength.” “Super Junior will also be like what Mr. Simple’s lyrics are, and concur many other genres of music. Although we will be nervous because of the performances, we will somehow enjoy ourselves and perform with our hearts.” Super Junior will also kick start their promotional activities with Music Core on the 6th and Inkigayo on the 7th.
