Super Junior held a press conference for their new album “Mr. Simple” on August 4th, marking their official comeback to Korea in 14 months. Leetuek opened up by saying, “K-Pop’s center and leader, Super Junior is back. There were a lot of pressure too but through your growing love it turned into expectations.” The group’s leader added due to his age and mandatory military service he is yet to serve, Super Junior would like to promote this album for as long as possible. “We’re planning to run promotions for as long as possible with this album. But because of my military duty, this time we’re thinking of a world tour instead of an Asian tour,” he added.
