Oops, I completely forgot

After sweeping all the music show awards for weeks on end with “Mr. Simple,” Super Junior is back with their follow-up song “A-CHA,” which is a Korean phrase that’s synonymous with “Oops, I completely forgot!”
The remaining 8 members of the originally-13-member boy band held their return performance today on Music Bank and the response has been enormous (not that we’re surprised).
But with member Siwon busy filming his new drama Poseidon and Heechul away at basic training preparing for his 2 year paper-pushing military job, we can’t help but notice how spacious the stage looks.
Earlier today, SM Entertainment released the teaser for “A-CHA,” heightening the anticipation for the full music video, especially since we get a glimpse of the two newly-departed members.
Super Junior’s got a pretty good track record for successful follow-up singles — take “No Other” after “Bonamana” and “It’s You” after “Sorry Sorry,” for example — and “A-CHA” is already shaping up to exceed initial expectations.
Though the release of the song first elicited some disappointment from fans for being, well, just another SM song that could have been given to any of the SM artists, from TVXQ to f(x), the explosive performance and MV teaser may just change their minds.
What do you think? Without Siwon and Heechul in the picture, will “A-CHA” even get a chance to taste the popularity “Mr. Simple” enjoyed?
ELFs all over the world are busily celebrating Super Junior's Shindong's 27th birthday today, but the honor of the first birthday message went to none other than KARA's goddess Gyuri!
Fellow "Shimshimtapa" DJ and friend Gyuri updated her Twitter on September 28 with the message, "Today, September 28, is Shindong oppa's birthday! Dongie oppa, have a happy birthday! Everyone, please congratulate his birthday!"
Shindong promptly replied back, "Gyuri was the first to congratulate my birthday! Truly the amazing woman."
The official Twitter of "Shimshimtapa" also updated with a picture of the two with a special birthday cake provided by Gyuri. Netizens said, "I can feel Gyuri's genuine feelings for Shindong," "So you were the first to congratulate him!" and "It's so nic eto see their friendship."
Happy birthday, Shindong!
