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!
