At the time he also revealed that he had told Eunhyuk to give the 'thank you' speech if they were to win the award at the end of the show.

Super Junior Hits 'Express Mode' - 20 Years Later, These Legends Are Still Breaking Records
The Kings Are Back and They're Not Slowing Down After two decades in the game, Super Junior just proved they're nowhere near retirement. The legendary K-pop group dropped their 12th studio album 'Super Junior25', and honestly, it's giving us all the feels. This isn't just any comeback - it's a full-circle moment that connects back to their 2005 debut album 'Super Junior05'. The album packs nine tracks that showcase exactly why these guys have survived the brutal K-pop industry for 20 years. But let's talk about that title track 'Express Mode' - it's an absolute banger that screams "we're not done yet". 'Express Mode' - The Anthem We Didn't Know We Needed The title track is pure fire - an upbeat club-pop number with a danceable sound and that addictive chorus that'll be stuck in your head for days. The lyrics are all about not stopping at the present and pushing toward the next goal, which is basically Super Junior's entire career philosophy. Check out these killer lines: "Watch me 1 step 2 step 3 step 4/너의 눈빛 Flip it 더 가빠지는 호흡/Watch me 1 step 2 step 3 step 4/올라가 너와 난 지금 Express Mode". It's like they're telling everyone - including themselves - that age is just a number when you've got this much passion. The music video dropped simultaneously with the album, featuring airplane and boarding pass themes that symbolize travel, freedom, and new beginnings. It's giving major retro-futuristic vibes while staying true to Super Junior's signature style. World Domination Mode - 'Super Show 10' Tour But wait, there's more! These legends aren't just dropping music and calling it a day. They're embarking on a massive world tour called 'Super Show 10' that's honestly making us question our life choices. Starting with Seoul shows on August 22-24 at KSPO DOME, they're hitting 16 cities across the globe. The tour schedule is absolutely insane - Hong Kong in September, Jakarta, Manila, then Latin America with stops in Mexico City, Monterrey, Lima, and Santiago. They're continuing through Asia with Taipei, Bangkok, Nagoya, and wrapping up in 2026 with Singapore, Macau, Kuala Lumpur, Kaohsiung, and finally Saitama. The Seoul shows are already selling like hotcakes - the second show sold out during fan club pre-sales alone, forcing them to add a third date. That's the power of two decades of loyalty right there. The Emotional Comeback That Hit Different What makes this comeback extra special is seeing member Heechul back in the dance formations. Fans are literally crying watching him perform again, and honestly, we get it. The man's been dealing with health issues but pushed through because that's what legends do. The group's chemistry remains unchanged after all these years. As member Ryeowook mentioned, "The members' banter and 'Tiki-Taka' seem unchanged. Even without a script, we could produce a million contents just positioning a camera". That's the kind of natural bond that can't be manufactured. This comeback feels like a perfect blend of nostalgia and innovation - it's Super Junior being Super Junior, but with 2025 energy. They're proving that experience doesn't make you outdated; it makes you irreplaceable. For young music lovers in India, Super Junior's journey resonates deeply with our own entertainment industry's evolution. Just like how Bollywood has legends who've adapted through decades, these K-pop pioneers show that reinvention and passion can keep you relevant across generations. Their 20-year milestone isn't just about surviving the industry - it's about thriving in it while staying true to your roots. The fact that they're still selling out stadiums and breaking records proves that authenticity and genuine connection with fans transcends age, language, and cultural barriers. In a world obsessed with the next big thing, Super Junior reminds us that sometimes the best things are the ones that have stood the test of time.
