I know I'd probably get shot saying this anywhere else, but I just watched their "live" performance of Superman and the lipsyncing was so bad it was laughable. Like, some of them weren't even trying.

Dude, I'm just glad Eeteuk is just wearing a wig in this "preview" image. The styling for the actual MV/live performances looks like complimentary couture compared to THAT 'do.

I have theories about Heechul stumbling into all of their MV shooting/live performances a half hour late and drunk, eyes red and not giving one single fuck. That's just the way he rolls.

edit:

I can forgive them of their sins, if only they just wore leather jackets all the time. ... yes, I'm totally shallow. shiwon i don't care if you're a jesus freak get in me

[showraniy]

Heechul's lipgloss is popping.

That is all I have come to contribute to this thread.

[Molly]

It's been announced Heechul is enlisting on the 1st of September as a public service worker.
I've been crying for like half an hour at this point :/

Anybody been keeping up with Super Junior lately? They just released their repackaged album with their new MV A-Cha .

Personally it bores me, it's like Mr. Simple remixed trying to make the MV more cool by adding special effects but I don't think it works. Also I think some people are missing from the dance parts but I can't tell who

[Molly]

My life is Super Junior haha. I adore Acha, but I was hoping for the cuter concept that usually comes with the repackage. Whatever, I know this is going to be awesome at SMT so I'll deal.

Heechul and Siwon aren't there - Heechul presumably because he was in the process of/had already joined the army, and Siwon because he's balls-deep in his big drama, Poseidon, and has basically ceased all day-to-day promotions with SJ for now (so, music shows and the like). They probably didn't even create spots for them in the dance routine knowing that.

I'm very underwhelmed, tbh. The other songs on the repackage are good, though. Oops!! (featuring f(x)) is a hot fucking mess but the lyrics are absolutely hilarious. Shindong's jacket made of dinosaur leather, Eeteuk being president of the ladies, and Heechul proclaiming his personality isn't good, then Shindong going "Hyung really isn't bluffing..."? Classic. These idiots, ugh, I love them.

[Plum]

The Oops! lyrics had me rolling. Awesome.

I'm still not super into SuJu and I really hardly recognize any of them, but they put out some catchy tunes now and again and seem pretty funny.

Shindong can just get a muzzle though, mraw.

Says the video is private. And hey, they get out of the box in Seoul Song! I only recently got into Super Junior, but so far they're the only Korean boy band I actually like so far (being new to kpop in general). Seoul Song has been absolutely addictive, because I love both Girls Generation and have a growing love for Super Junior.

I imagine they were shoved right back into the box after Seoul Song so that their fans would be assured that they cannot go anywhere.

[KawaiiYankee]

I love the teaser.
Though the concept of the teaser seems to have nothing to do with the teaserphotos. But what do you expect when it's SM.Entertaiment?

[Molly]

The entire CD has been released digitally and it's absolutely wonderful and I love it. I just ordered my physical copy of it, so I can't wait for that. And it's so nice to hear Kangin again.

[Farrah]

I haven't listened to the rest of the album but holy SHIT, it's amazing how subpar SuJu have become over the years. Seriously, I used to be in love with them but literally every single they release now is basically SM's attempt to capitalize on the success of Sorry Sorry by making a song that sounds almost exactly like it. I miss the SuJu that surprised me with stuff like Don't Don :(

[Anderei]

I've only listened to the title track. It's not as catchy as the previous singles were.

[showraniy]

Well, that's not good to hear. I really hated everything about Mr. Simple and Bonamana was just good enough to like.

[Molly]

Well the problem you're all having is judging the entire thing based on the title track. WE all now SM hates SJ and is still cashing in on the Sorry Sorry success. The members get a lot more say in the album tracks and as a whole their non promoted songs are their best.

[Farrah]

I'm not judging the whole thing on the title track - I'm judging the title track on the title track. I just want another good single! Come on, SM. Toss me a Neorago. I know you can.

[Molly]

SM really doesn't give a shit about SJ anymore :/ I was expecting something neoragoish last summer but then got Acha. They should honestly just let the boys write all their own music because it's so much better.

[Rally]

"Butterfly" would have made a better title track, honestly...

This came off as a typical SM album to me: Good title track, MAYBE (if we're lucky) a good album track, and the rest is filler crap. Like seriously, I didn't see the point outside of anything other than "Sexy, Free, and Single" and "Butterfly".

We all know that in a month or two SM is just going to release a repackaged album anyways

[KawaiiYankee]

I feel like they are giving to much promotion on SNSD and the promotion of EXO.
The whole EXO-album was amazing; maybe Super Junior could've got some of EXO's songs? xD

[Molly]

MV is out! They may be dancing in empty rooms but they look fucking perfect doing it. I love this song, dance, and MV.

[KawaiiYankee]

I love this
I love the song, the MV, the dance! Everything. I've loved Super Junior since I saw them in Paris last April ^^
They never fail to impress me!

OMYESUNG!!! HE SINGS LIKE A GOD!
EUNHYUKS DANCING IS ALSO AMAZING!!!! *calling my kpopfriend* XD

[showraniy]

.... Well, you guys had me expecting something terrible and this was delicious. That refrain is killer (my new favorite word? D: ), and other than the super thick foundation they have going on, the boys are bringin' it as always.

Also, KANGIN! I can tell he's cut under that outfit, so ten times the hotness there, but lol at him being relegated to the back for dances. He probably got super rusty these past two years.

And I can't survive talking about this MV without mentioning Siwon because those abs are so delicious I can't even asklhgiodaj.

[Farrah]

Okay, so the song has grown on me. I will say that it's not a complete rehash of Bonamana/Sorry Sorry/Mr. Simple, but I'm just not a fan of Super Junior doing this kind of music. It just doesn't suit them, imo. I really can't take them seriously doing it and they don't NEED all of that autotune - they have several very capable singers in the group! Can we just autotune all of Siwon, Shindong and Eunhyuk's lines and call it a day? I gotta say, watching this really made me realize how old they are in comparison to all of these new groups - it really doesn't feel like there's a maknae! Just a bunch of grandpas breakin' it down on the floor. I LOVE IT! It's really awkward watching a bunch of 14 year olds pelvic thrusting in skinny jeans, gotta say.

Also LOL, poor, poor Kyuhyun. His styling here is ridiculous - in the red box parts, everyone is super costumed up but he looks like he walked in late to the shoot and they just decided to let him wear his own clothes. In the leather-and-spikes portion of the video, apparently someone thought throwing a random piece of scrap leather around his neck would be a good look. Poor, poor Kyuhyun.

ANNNND can I just say that it's SO weird to me how Eunhyuk is like, a front man now? He was always sort of in the back but I guess with so many members leaving he has been steadily pushed more and more to the front. It didn't really don on me until just now, probably because I avoid most new SuJu like the plague LOL.

I completely agree, but we're probably going to be stuck with SM autotuning Super Junior for as long as their in the music industry now, because it's apparently their "genre" or something and they're going to stick with it T.T . I just hope that they have a different type of song for the repackage. I'm hoping

OMYESUNG!!! HE SINGS LIKE A GOD!

YES YES YES. Yesung love :)

The MV was all right, the only thing I really don't like is Leeteuk's armor thing during the close up shots, it's really awkward.

I liked the title track and the album as a whole though, it's better than their last album. The only song I didn't like was Rockstar. A little to similar to LMFAO for my tastes.

[showraniy]

Wait, there are more people who adore Yesung? That's awesome. He seems kinda ignored by the Korean fanbase... :/

[Molly]

Yesung is actually a lot more popular than people realize. From what I've seen he has more fanbases than any of the other members, but that could also be my exposure to him seeing as my ex best friend is head of the tumblr Clouds. But he's forever tied for 2nd place on my bias list with Ryeowook, Kyhyun obviously being number 1.

[KawaiiYankee]

I've loved Yesung since I herd 'It has to be You' for the first time.
For me; he is one of my top bias with only Onew in front of him. (trust me Onew will forever be my number one)
Yesung has everything: the looks, the voice, and the personality.
I just love that guy *__*

[Molly]

First performances: From U, SF&S

[showraniy]

I'm ready too Bingo

...

I think I'm just gonna stick with "I'm ready to mingle."
