Sexy, free and single

By Kim Ji-soo

"Every single day try.

We're almost there…

Sexy, free & single, all preparations have been made.

Sexy, free & single, I'm ready to bingo".

Those are the first lines of Super Junior's latest hit, "Sexy, Free & Single", carried on its album released in July.

Since their debut in the winter of 2005, the 13-member Super Junior have worked diligently.

The group is now down to 10, with Hee Chul serving his military service.

"We're different from J-pop and pop music in China in that we both sing and perform. The singers in China and Taiwan are gradually adapting our style, but our mix of singing and performance is still rare in other countries", said Lee Tuek, 29, leader of the group.

Lee is talking about the "Super Show".

They recently wrapped up their "Super Show 4" with an encore performance in Seoul in late May, after touring Osaka, Taipei, Singapore, Jakarta, Macau, Paris, Shanghai and Tokyo.

Their two-day encore performance in Seoul drew some 22,000 people. When they performed at the Tokyo Dome on May 12 and 13, a total of 110,000 Japanese fans attended.

With the popularity of K-pop getting strong, Super Junior remain dedicated to entertaining more fans in other countries.

"We would like to perform in South America, South Africa and in the Middle East. We believe that the world's cultural center is moving toward Asia so we're not so fixated about the U.S. market", said Lee.
