The group SUPER JUNIOR is celebrating its 20th debut anniversary.
On November 6, SUPER JUNIOR marked its 20th year in the industry, showcasing exceptional teamwork and an impressive stage presence.
- Album milestone and ambitions: 12th studio album → Global chart dominance
To commemorate its 20th anniversary, SUPER JUNIOR released its 12th studio album “SUPER JUNIOR25” in July, drawing inspiration from its first studio album “SUPER JUNIOR05”. The members stated, “This album will be the one that E.L.F. considers the best,” expressing both confidence and ambition.
The album contains nine tracks, including the title song “Express mode”, and surpassed 300,000 sales in its first week, setting a personal record and reaffirming SUPER JUNIOR’s renewed power. The album topped real-time charts on KKBOX in Taiwan, the daily K-pop new releases chart, the K-pop singles daily chart, as well as iTunes Top Albums in 20 countries, and also ranked high on QQ Music and Kugou Music in China.
- SUPER JUNIOR pride and E.L.F. love: “SUPER SHOW” → Firsts, sold-out stages, and glowing reviews
The world tour concert series “SUPER SHOW”, another source of pride for SUPER JUNIOR, continues this year. Since the launch of their anniversary tour “SUPER SHOW 10” at the KSPO DOME in Seoul in August, the group has reached 200 concerts, including performances in Jakarta, and plans to hold 28 concerts across 16 cities until March 2026.
SUPER JUNIOR will be the first foreign group to perform at the Taipei Dome for three consecutive days, from November 14 to 16. Ticket sales saw over 80,000 simultaneous connections when they opened, prompting an additional show and limited-view seats to meet the local fans’ demand.
- Success in Latin America and worldwide impact
SUPER JUNIOR, who achieved the largest South American tour by a Korean artist in 2013, also sold out four concerts this year in Mexico City, Monterrey, Lima, and Santiago. Their Manila concert was praised by local media as “a celebration of a long-standing relationship” and “a heartwarming stage that felt like coming home.”
- 2025: “The year of SUPER JUNIOR” → Members still active and passionate
In 2025, SUPER JUNIOR continues to showcase its signature style with “Express mode” and remains highly visible through various projects, including the anniversary reality show “눈 떠보니 슈퍼TV”, stage performances, variety programs, and media content, blending entertainment with emotion. Their participation in the “2025 MAMA AWARDS” has also drawn the attention of music fans.
The celebrations continue with the special “SJ WEEK” beginning November 3, offering SUPER JUNIOR-related content worldwide, including at Namsan Seoul Tower, the Dubai Imagine Show, Siam Paragon in Bangkok, and Times Square in Hong Kong. Thus, 2025 will remain memorable as the year of SUPER JUNIOR, or the “SJ YEAR”.
