From New Album To New Tour: What Super Junior Have In Store For Their 20th Anniversary
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!

Japanese star convicted of indecent assault in Hong Kong
HONG KONG: A Hong Kong court on Wednesday found J-pop artist Kenshin Kamimura guilty of indecent assault after he harassed a woman working as his interpreter at a restaurant earlier this year. Kamimura, 26, is a former member of the boy band ONE N'ONLY, which expelled him shortly after the allegation. Fans queued to get into court for hours before the hearing, and some broke down in tears upon learning Kamimura had been convicted. The court heard Kamimura touched the woman's thighs multiple times despite her objections, and invited her to go to the bathroom with him. Magistrate Peter Yu found he had assaulted her, adding his behaviour "clearly shows disrespect for women." The incident took place in March during a celebratory dinner, after a fan meet for which the woman had been working as an interpreter for Kamimura and others. The Japanese star was fined HK$15,000 (US$1,900). Kamimura, who is also known as an actor in the Japanese drama "Our Youth", hugged his court translator upon hearing he would be fined without facing jail time, media reports said. Kamimura got "what he deserved", Yu said, adding that "had the victim not refused to remain silent and courageously come forward, she would have suffered an unpleasant experience in silence." But ardent fans inside and outside the court were in tears. Chen, a 30-year-old screenwriter and fan who gave only her last name, said she had come from northern China to watch the court session. She told AFP before the verdict that the trial has had a negative impact on Kamimura's image, and had incited "public outbursts of vitriol against the artist."

K-pop Demon Hunters Break Records with Golden at No. 1
The fictional girl group HUNTR/X has made history by becoming the first female collective to top the Billboard Hot 100 in nearly 24 years. Their song 'Golden,' from the Netflix animated film KPop Demon Hunters, hit number one on the chart on August 11, 2025. Before HUNTR/X, the first female collective to top the Billboard Hot 100 was Destiny's Child, whose Bootylicious reigned in August 2001. Voiced by EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI, Golden is the ninth K-pop-associated track to reach No. 1 and the first led by female vocalists. It is also only the second song from an animated film this decade to top the chart, following Disney's We Don't Talk About Bruno from Encanto. With this, K-pop Demon Hunters becomes the first non-Disney animated feature to achieve such a feat. Released on June 20, the film's track climbed to the top in just seven weeks, fuelled by 31.7 million official US streams in the August 1–7 tracking week, alongside an impressive 71% boost in radio airplay and 7,000 digital sales. On streaming platforms, 'Golden' has consistently outperformed many real-world pop acts, even rivalling numbers from BTS, Rosé and Katseye. This has made 'Golden' not just a chart-topper but a serious contender for music awards, elevating its status in the soundtrack and K-pop spheres. The soundtrack's reach isn't limited to HUNTR/X. Rival fictional boy band Saja Boys has also scored chart success, with 'Your Idol' climbing to No. 9 on the Hot 100. Nearly every track from the film's OST—aside from a couple of B-sides and score pieces—has entered the main chart. The success of 'Golden' has extended beyond the US. In the UK, the track has topped the Official Singles Chart, making it the first K-pop song to do so since PSY's Gangnam Style in 2012. It's also reached No. 1 on Amazon Music, Apple Music's global and US charts, and US Spotify. For an animated soundtrack, this level of crossover appeal is rare—Let It Go from Frozen famously peaked at No. 5 in 2014, despite its cultural ubiquity.
