Super Junior-Music Bank


Super Junior began, “Our society is going through such hard times lately…” Leeteuk named some of the issues currently headlining on the news, such as college tuition fees and employment, and went on to say, “I’m scared to even read newspaper articles. There are so many people who are suffering in life and it’s so upsetting. We hope that everyone will listen to ‘Mr. Simple‘ and brush off their worries, if only briefly. We want to be a source of strength for them.”
On August 5th, Super Junior finally made their long-awaited comeback on KBS’s ‘Music Bank’. The boys met up with reporters in their waiting room to talk about their hopes for this promotion cycle.
As such, the song contains positive and uplifting lyrics like, “There are good times and bad, and your performance can rise and fall. It’s okay, because you’re amazing just the way you are.” Their choreography also contains a ‘point’ where they ‘brush off their stress’ and straighten their shoulders broad and proud.
Leeteuk talked about their own struggles by revealing, “Our digital ranking often rises and falls. We just checked the charts before as well. Every time we go on stage, every time we go in for an interview, we’re always nervous. I think, however, we’ve found a way to control our stress. After appearing on a lot of variety shows, I find myself laughing more. I laugh even when it’s not funny because laughing makes you feel better. I’m overcoming depression with my team.”

THE AVANT-GARDE CONCEPT
Coming from Kyuhyun's Korean fansite "Secret," and other Korean ELFs, this was the first concept that spread in the internet. It was rumored that Super Junior will try a unique style this time based from the word "avant-garde" which means deviant or edgy. Based from Eunhyuk's photo teaser alone, it can be concluded that indeed, Super Junior has deviated from the black and white concept that they used both in the 3rd and 4th album.
THE GODS
This rumor circulated in twitter, saying that the concept of the 5th album will be about gods and goddesses from the Greek Mythology. However, it's funny that both Ryeowook and Heechul were the only "goddesses" among the group. True or not, Super Junior is indeed a god on its own. Here's the complete list!
Leeteuk as Zeus - The King of Gods.
Heechul as Aphrodite - The Goddess of Love and Beauty.
Yesung as Archilles - The Brave Warrior.
Shindong as Demeter - The Warm God of Harvest.
Sungmin as Dionysus - The Joyful God of Wine.
Eunhyuk as the cunning God of the Trade.
Donghae as Poisedon - The Moody God of Seas.
Siwon as Helious - The God of the Sun.
Ryeowook as Hera - The Mature Goddess of the Family.
Kyuhyun as Apollo - The Youthful God of the Music.
THE FLOWER BOYS
This sparked the conclusion that the concept for the 5th album would be Super Junior as flowers, therefore Eunhyuk as a rose, Donghae as a sunflower and so on.
RAINBOW
Ever since Eunhyuk dyed his hair, this speculation of a rainbow-themed Super Junior hasn't stopped. From the color of their hair and now the color of their photo teasers. A rumor circulated about the different colors and order of each members photo teaser.
1. Red - Eunhyuk
2. Orange - Sungmin
3. Yellow - Ryeowook
4. Green - Shindong
5. Blue - Donghae
6. Navy - Kyuhyun
7. Violet - Hee
8. Brown - Siwon
9. Black - Yeseong
10. White - Lee Teuk
Tomorrow, another photo teaser will be released by SM Entertainment. Everyone is guessing who would that member be, and hopefully, the answer to this hot question about Super Junior's 5th concept would finally answered. After all, it's not the concept that matters, what's important is that ELFs will continue to support them no matter what the concept of the album is. How about you? What do you think is the idea of the 5th album?
This concept came from a Korean ELF's guess relating Eunhyuk's picture and Donghae's past tweet. If you will see it closely, in Eunhyuk's tattoo, there's a rose-like stem in his neck. Adding up is the rose-colored theme of the picture. Donghae's tweet on the other hand is an old saying or a pun, which translates to "Looking at you I'm a Sunflower :)"
