Meanwhile, many fans were saddened when Super Junior announced the postponement of their much-awaited comeback. Label SJ made the announcement on Feb. 1 and shared that the scheduled return of the group on Feb. 16 is moved to March 16 instead.
Before the comeback delay, Super Junior members have been releasing teaser images on various social media sites to hype their imminent return.
Most, if not all, fans are aware that the South Korean boy band was supposed to drop their 10th full album in January. However, it was canceled and was rescheduled for Feb. 16 since the group needed to polish some things to make sure that they only give the best to their followers.
Label SJ, in a statement, explained that Super Junior has been preparing for the forthcoming new album as best as they can. But, they made a very difficult decision because of the repeated trial-and-error to come up with the best results.
On Feb. 23, Super Junior has started accepting pre-orders for their imminent new album titled "The Renaissance," which has a total of 13 versions. Among the versions avid followers of the group can choose from are "Beautiful," "Versatile" and "Passionate."
The agency, at the same time, apologized to fans who have been patiently waiting for the official return of Super Junior. Label SJ even extended the regret and unfortunate emotions of the group members following the comeback postponement.
