The day I have waited for has finally arrived! Super Junior's music video to Mr. Simple, the title track of their fifth album, has finally been unveiled. The revelation of their latest song's MV was done through a press conference in a hotel in Seoul where press people from different parts of Asia and the rest of the world attended to cover the event, owing to the group's global reach and large following. It was attended by the ten active Super Junior members out of the original 13 and it is currently the talk of the town among many Kpop fans all over the world in various Kpop blogs, online communities, fan sites, forums and social networking sites (e.g. Facebook, Twitter and of course...Tumblr).
Ever since the MV was revealed a few hours ago, Mr. Simple has been trending at the top 10 TTs worlwide in twitter even up to this now. This was reminiscent of what happened during their previous comeback in 2010 for Bonamana where they were in the top trending topics worldwide for almost a month because of fans who were excited for their return at that time. I am also wondering how long they will trend this time myself, since this comeback is a lot bigger in scale than their previous one. I'm not saying that their "Bonamana comeback" wasn't as big as it is now, but considering the fact that both Leeteuk and Heechul will be soon going to the army, it has been reported that it will most likely take a longer time for the group to release another album in the future, so their fans (both Korean and international) are giving all the support that they can give to the boys right now. Various fan projects such as food support in various Suju-dedicated sites and massive bulk ordering are currently underway just to make sure that this comeback will be just as successful as their previous ones.
As for their music video, although I admit that I was not a hundred percent satisfied with what I saw, I am glad because there are so many improvements visually, and the overall appeal of the video has gone up to a higher level this time around. Although I am not disappointed with the boys (Well you can give them anything anyday and they can turn anything from scratch to flawless. That's how talented the boys are! :D), I must admit that I am quite disappointed with SM, and that is because I expected more from the video because of the amazing teasers that were revealed beforehand. I was expecting something as epic as TVXQ's Before You Go, but nevertheless, the talent of the members still managed to trump everything in the end. The choreography was surprisingly good. Some routines were clearly recycled from both Sorry Sorry and Bonamana, but Super Junior makes every routine look daebak so I have to give it to the boys. All of the members have also contributed to the choreography of the song in one way or another, so it's good to see them take control like that and let their talents shine.
To sum it all up, although many people say that the song is a recycle of Sorry Sorry and Bonamana to the nth time, I have to say that like the song. Although at first, I admit that I wasn't feeling it, but after putting the song on replay mode for like three times (yes, that soon!) and watching the video, I was like, "This is actually good." With that said, I am looking forward to all their comeback stages starting tomorrow up to Sunday. Well of course, an ELF will always be an ELF. That's something that will never ever change. :)
