When SUPER JUNIOR’s “Sorry, Sorry” hit the pop-sphere in 2009, the dance track unlocked a new level of international recognition for the group and the broader K-pop industry, especially across Asia. With the rhythmic earworm, the second-generation group earned the “King of Hallyu Wave” designation, dancing their way into global pop history. Twenty years after their 2005 debut and ahead of a world tour, SuJu released Super Junior25, an album celebrating their decades-spanning success and launching a new group chapter. Lead single “Express Mode,” a club-pop anthem about SUPER JUNIOR’s endless ambition, announces its arrival with a disclaimer: “This right here is a 100% certified slapper.” That easy confidence continues across the album’s nine songs, which include noraebang-ready ballad “I Know,” R&B breakup track “Say Less,” and fan song “Stuck with You.”
