Super Junior delays release of 10th full album to March 2021

The 10th full-length album of legendary K-pop boy group Super Junior has once again been delayed and will be released this March.

In a post made on Twitter, Super Junior's management, Label SJ, broke the news to their adoring fans and cited “unavoidable circumstances” as the reason for the delay.

It said, “Hello, this is Label SJ.

“To all the fans who have waited for Super Junior's 10th album with great patience, we kindly express our sincere apology.

“The release date of Super Junior's 10th album, originally planned on February 16th, has been delayed to March 16th.

“What has happened is certainly against our will, but we are putting all our efforts and hearts into bringing the best for the upcoming album. Due to unavoidable circumstances, the rescheduling was a painful decision for Label SJ.”

It added, “We are sorry for the multiple changes of schedule. We express our sincerest apologies on behalf of the Super Junior members, who have also waited for a long time to greet you with a new album.

“Surely, we promise to satisfy our invaluable fans with perfect preparation and a satisfactory album. Thanks for your generosity and understanding.”

It was in December 2020 when Super Junior first announced that they'd be delaying their album release to January.

However, it was then again pushed back a month later due to the many title track changes.

The label said, “We initially aimed the album to be released this January, but we inevitably adjusted the comeback date to release a title song that is of quality.

“We continually thank fans for eagerly waiting for Super Junior's 10th album. The members and the staff have been putting all their efforts into preparing for the new album.”

Before these announcements, the K-pop boy group's members have been heating their upcoming comeback by releasing various social media content.

They have since released the remake of their song “Raining Spell for Love” and the pre-release singles “Burn the Floor” and “Tell Me Baby” back in December.

In early January, member Donghae teased fans that they've finally chosen a title track through a surprise Instagram Live.

He said to the camera, “Finally, we got a title song. So, we will meet soon. Keep it a secret because it is a spoiler. I'm an agent of ELF.”

“The Renaissance” is said to have a total of 10 tracks of various genres, which will allow their loyal fans, called ELFs, to enjoy Super Junior's wide range of musical abilities.
