Super Junior‘s sixth album comeback was launched to a successul start at the Imperial Palace Hotel on the morning of July 3rd with a press conference. The first question asked to Super Junior was none other than their looks.
When told by MC Kim Bum Soo about the popularity of their teaser images, Leeteuk expressed, “I really like how they turned out. I asked our manager on which member would have their teaser image released first and he said it would be Eunhyuk. I was curious to see how his came out since he said that the member with the most shocking teaser would go out first.”
He continued, “There are two times when Eunhyuk looks the best, and the first is when he grows his bangs out and covers his eyes, and the second is when he wears sunglasses.” With a chuckle, he added, “In the teaser, his eyes are covered.”
Eunhyuk replied, “I heard that the teasers would be released according to who was the most handsome. My eyes ended up being covered, though, which disappointed my parents. That’s why I came today with my forehead exposed.”
Leeteuk urged Siwon to share his opinion, to which Siwon playfully shocked Eunhyuk by saying, “I thought the teasers were being released according to who was the ugliest.”
Eunhyuk jokingly concluded the question by expressing, “Since our fifth album, we’ve been getting so many questions about ranking our looks so I tried to avoid the question this time. Our first question ended up being about our looks, though! I think we should just leave it up to everyone else to decide.”
Super Junior will be making their comeback on July 5th through Mnet‘s ‘M! Countdown‘.

At the press conference for the release of their 6th album ‘Sexy, Free & Single‘ on July 3rd KST, the Super Junior members revealed that they’ve decided to take turns enlisting for their mandatory military service.
Shindong stated, “Once, all the members discussed our plans for military enlistment all day. Should we all enlist at once, one at a time, half and half, we considered a lot of options and decided that it’s best to go one at a time in order to maintain Super Junior.”
Yesung: “I’m curious about what will happen after Leeteuk hyung goes, but it’s a relief that no matter who leaves for the military, we’ll maintain our team. I think it’s good that the other members can still be active despite one or two enlisting.”
Eunhyuk: “I’d like for Super Junior to exist for a long time. No matter what individual members do, they’ll still be part of Super Junior.”
Finally, Leeteuk, who’s enlisting after promotions for ‘Sexy, Free & Single’ are over, commented, “I think [military service] will be my biggest homework assignment and longest ‘schedule’, but it’s not important when I go to the army, it’s important that I go and finish so I can return and be part of the next album. I’ll return and show a splendid side of myself.”

Super Junior has been releasing teaser photos of the members for their 6th studio album, ‘Sexy, Free & Single‘ since June 21st without much information on the album’s concept.
On June 24th, it was revealed that Super Junior members are following the theme of “Beautiful Males” in the photos, as they make their drastic image transformation. Teaser photos of five members have been released so far including: Donghae, Leeteuk, Ryeowook, Shindong, and Yesung.
Ryeowook is seen sporting a very earthy concept in a green cardigan and a headpiece made out of branches, while Shindong has most of his face covered in white and blue chalk. Leeteuk also seems to be following the nature theme as he has a branch-like accessory lining the side of his head. On the other hand, Ryeowook donned only purple accessories. Finally, Donghae displayed a very beautiful and feminine look by wearing a black lace top with a white headpiece.
Check out all the released photos of the Super Junior members below.
Continuing with the unveiling of the teaser photos, Super Junior has released their third and fourth teaser photos for their upcoming 6th album featuring Shindong and Yesung!
The concept for the comeback this time around continues to remain a mystery. However, this pair of teaser photos still have the same soft vibe as the previous teaser photos. As most fans know, SM Entertainment is famous for releasing teaser photos that seem quite unrelated to their actual concept, so don’t be surprised when the boys are back with looks that are completely different from these!
As announced previously, the group’s 6th album ‘Sexy, Free & Single‘ will drop on July 1st online and will be followed by the offline release on July 4th.
Stay tuned for the release of other teasers to come!
