Super Junior reportedly planning to return in September or October with Leeteuk


As fans know, Super Junior members have been dropping hints about a comeback on the way, and now there are some reported details to go along with the hints!

It's been said that they're waiting until Leeteuk is discharged from the army later this month, and they are expected to be back in September at the earliest or in October. An SM Entertainment rep added, "When Leeteuk is discharged on the 29th, we're planning to work as fast as possible. We're already recording bit by bit. Super Junior's new album will be out in the fall.

This is definitely exciting news for ELF as it has been about 2 years since Super Junior released an album as well as about 2 years since Leeteuk went on military service.

Yesung won't be participating since he's still carrying out his service, so this has fans wondering if Shindong's participation will be seen in the album. He has already revealed that he'll be stepping down from 'ShimShimTaPa' to join the army, which indicates that his enlistment isn't too far off. A broadcast insider said, "The exact date for his enlistment has not been set yet. Both fans and members hope Shindong will enlist after Leeteuk is discharged so they can promote the 7th album together."

Ryeowook speaks up against 'Show! Music Core's decision to ban lipsyncing


Ryeowook spoke up against 'Show! Music Core's decision to take action against lipsyncing to point out that to enforce that kind of rule without any improvements on 'Music Core's end was not fair.

'Music Core' CP Park Hyun Suk had apparently told Munhwa Ilbo in an exclusive interview on the 1st, "We will not allow people who are not equipped with the basics as a singer to perform on stage. Even if one's individual part is short, that is fine. The singers who perform on stage must sing." He pointed out that many MR tracks have 80-90% of the songs sang for them. He did say that he understood singing was hard while performing choreography, and that idols would not be expected to sing 100% live. Ultimately, he wanted singers on the show to perform at least 50% of the songs liv

Supposedly in response, Ryeowook took to his Twitter to say, "To singers, brilliant stages and lights are just as important as sound systems are.. It's true that performance-centric idol singers just lipsyncing is a problem as well, but I think it's tyranny to emphasize just live performances without any improvement..". Even though he did not specifically mention 'Show! Music Core', his words seem to be aimed at the decision.


화려한 무대연출, 조명 못지않게 음향 시스템도 가수들에게 중요한 부분인데.. 퍼포먼스 중심의 아이돌가수가 입만 뻥긋하는것도 문제지만 개선의 여지없이 라이브만 강조하는건 정말 횡포인듯..
