Leeteuk reveals it felt awkward to record Super Junior's album & Heechul picks AOA as his rival on 'Entertainment Relay'

Super Junior met with 'Entertainment Relay' at their press conference for their long-awaited comeback with 7th full-length album 'MAMACITA'!

Leader Leeteuk shared his thoughts on his return from the military, "I went and came back well. It wasn't as easy as I thought it would be."

Since it is their first group comeback in two years, the reporter asked the members to recite their roles from when they were rookies for old times' sake. Heechul introduced himself as 'Hello, it's Super Junior's Cinderella, Heechul', Shindong introduced himself as 'Hello, it's Shindong who's in charge of being the talented one among Super Junior', and Kyuhyun introduced himself as 'Hello, it's Kyuhyun who joined Super Junior as a new member.'

Leeteuk also explained the meaning of 'MAMACITA', "The title is 'MAMACITA'. In Spanish, it's the word used when you see a beautiful woman." Shindong then stepped out as if he was a pretty woman passing by while the boys called him, "MAMACITA", and Siwon andEunhyuk played with words by saying, "I hate you" [the Korean phrase for this is "Nahn je sheelta" which sounds like "MAMACITA".]

Leeteuk shared how it felt to record their album in a long time, "It was very awkward. I went into the recording booth and told the audio engineer that I was too embarrassed to do it. Because I found it was so awkward to hear my voice through the headphones." Shindong shared, "I don't experience anything like that at all. I sound really good at the recording studio. But oddly, I can't sing well outside [of the studio]. Only in the recording studio..."bringing laughs.

When asked, "Honestly, while you were on hiatus, was there an artist who caught your eye the most [as a potential rival]?", Heechul blurted out, "AOA." But Heechul didn't realize that the question was asking which group caught their eye as a rival, not in terms of attraction. But Kangin added that Heechul really considers AOA as his rival to which Heechul joked, "I get angry when I see pretty people", sharing his frustration in seeing people just as pretty as he is.

Super Junior's Heechul threatened by girl group AOA



On an interview on 'KBS Entertainment Weekly' on August 30, Super Junior's Heechul made everyone shocked when he chose girl group AOA as their group's huge competitor. 


Heechul's reason made everyone laughed. He said, "If I see someone more beautiful than me, I get angry."

Super Junior is making a comeback with ten members for their 7th album "MAMACITA." Their physcal album will be released on September 1.

Taemin wows the crowd with his performances on 'Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook' + gets interviewed


Taemin impressed the crowd on the August 30 edition of KBS 2TV's 'Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook' with his performance of solo track "Danger" as well as acoustic versions of SHINee's "Replay" and his own "Experience."

After showing off his awesome dance moves, he sat down for an interview where Yoo Hee Yeol jokingly asked if he always walked around like that, such as doing the moon walk.

Taemin replied that in the past he actually had because he deemed all grounds as the dance floor.  As for how promoting as a solo artist was different from promoting as a group, he said that he had thought he was good at live because there were parts in which he could rest while his other members took over during group promotions--hence, teamwork made it easier.  

He said, "Now that I've tried it alone, I find solo artists to be really respectable and amazing.  It's hard," and Yoo Hee Yeol agreed with his sentiment.

Check out his awesome performances below!
