From New Album To New Tour: What Super Junior Have In Store For Their 20th Anniversary
It's a miracle when a K-pop group lasts long, especially given the growing competition from younger groups. K-pop icons Super Junior (슈퍼주니어) are celebrating their 20th anniversary this year, and they're marking the milestone with some exciting events.
Recently, the K-pop powerhouse shared their plans for their upcoming 20th anniversary comeback. The comeback is planned for early July, but there's no exact date yet. However, news reports confirmed that the new release will be a full-length album, with all nine active members of Super Junior participating. The group have also recently concluded the filming for the title track's music video.
More noteworthy for fans is Kim Heechul's (김희철) participation in the new album and music video. Many ELFs (Super Junior fans) were disappointed when the idol wasn't part of the group's previous single, 'Show Time', due to the last-minute nature of the release. This new album also marks Super Junior's first full-length album in almost three years, following 2023's 'The Road'.
The boy band is also planning a few other projects, including a new tour after their July comeback. Dubbed 'Super Show 10', the tour comes after Super Junior's 2024 'Super Show Spin-Off: Half Time' concerts, which served as a build-up for their 20th anniversary. News reports also shared that the K-pop icons will hold pop-up stores, likely featuring merchandise themed to their comeback album.
Super Junior also previously held an exhibition in Seoul to commemorate their anniversary. The 'Super Records' exhibition took fans through the group's 20-year musical career. The Seoul stop was successful, prompting suggestions for the exhibition to go global. According to reports, the exhibition will have stops in Japan and China in June, but no news of whether the exhibition will be held in other countries.
Global fan projects have also begun to celebrate Super Junior's 20th anniversary this November. Considering the milestone, we're sure the celebrations will be grander than ever, so we can't wait to see what Super Junior and ELFs have in store!

Airbnb experiences themed after K-pop boy band Seventeen to be rolled out
Airbnb collaborates with K-pop group Seventeen as Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky emphasises Seoul as a strategic market. Photo: Handout In short-term lodging, experience could matter just as much or more than the spaces themselves, which is why a collaboration with a K-pop boy band such as Seventeen is beneficial, said Airbnb co-founder and chief executive Brian Chesky. The collaboration included replicating the set of Seventeen's music video Love, Money, Fame (2024) into real-life accommodation, allowing Carats – as Seventeen fans are dubbed – to experience a unique stay. The props from the music video were also used to furnish the Seventeen-inspired Airbnb room. At a press conference in Seoul on June 4, the vacation rental website's head honcho recalled working with the South Korean group in 2024, a project he said had proved to be hugely popular with not only Seventeen fans, but also Airbnb travellers as a whole, because of the unique experience it offered. 'We plan to roll out Seventeen-themed Airbnb programmes in major cities,' Chesky said at the press conference, without identifying where. This followed a meet-and-greet event for 60 Seventeen fans where the K-pop act were one-day-only special Airbnb hosts, in celebration of their 10th anniversary. Seventeen Airbnb Experience, as the fan gathering was called, was a demonstration of Airbnb Originals, a celebrity-hosted exclusive experience that is part of Airbnb Experiences. Airbnb Originals was launched in May to focus on unique activities run by local hosts. The programme is to help travellers experience their local surroundings with local hosts, according to Chesky. 'The biggest asset in people's lives is really not their home – it's their time. What if people could share not only their space, but their time with someone else?' he asked. The latest trip to Seoul by the Airbnb CEO is part of his global tour to promote Airbnb Experiences. He has made stops in Paris, Berlin, Milan and Tokyo, and emphasised that Seoul is a strategic market he finds deeply inspirational. According to Airbnb South Korea, bookings on the platform in the country in 2024 soared 20% from the previous year. The make-up of international visitors to South Korea is increasingly becoming diverse, the company added without elaboration. – The Korea Herald/Asia News Network
