K-Pop legends Super Junior has announced an online global press conference in celebration of their highly-anticipated tenth album, "The Renaissance."
The global press conference will be including an album introduction and a Q&A session with members of the press all around the world. The nine active members of the SM Entertainment boy group - Leeteuk, Heechul, Yesung, Shindong, Eunhyuk, Siwon, Donghae, Ryeowook, and Kyuhyun - will share their stories and insights that went into the production of their 10th studio album.
About The Renaissance
"The Renaissance" marks the 10th full-length album by Super Junior and is set for a March 16 release. It follows their 2019 release, "Time_Slip," and was originally scheduled for a December 2020 release. However, Super Junior made an announcement on its official Twitter page last December 9 that they will be moving the release date to early 2021 in order to improve and create a more complete body of work.

By January 8, the group announced that "The Renaissance" will have a February 16 release date. However, by February 1, it was announced that the album will be released on March 16 instead.
Super Junior has also released one single ahead of the album - "The Melody" - last November 6.
"The Renaissance" will be having 13 physical versions: four "The Renaissance" style versions named Passionate, Beautiful, Versatile, and Renaissance; and nine "Square" style versions, each corresponding to a Super Junior member.
Fifteen Years in the Industry
Super Junior was formed by the SM Entertainment founder himself, Lee Soo Man, who once called the upcoming group "The Gateway to Stardom of Asia," since most of its members already had experiences in various aspects of South Korean entertainment industry. For example, Kibum and Heechul were already known actors before joining Super Junior.
The twelve-member boy group first made their official debut on the SBS music show "Popular Song" back in November 2005, where they performed their first single "Twins (Knock Out)," followed by their debut album "Twins" roughly a month later.
Since then, the group has released nine Korean language studio albums and two Japanese albums, the latest being "Star" released just last January.
