“The members prepared special things to say in French for the fans, and communicated with the fans with their wit and sense of humor,” the rep continued. “CSJH‘s Dana & Sunday were also in attendance as special guests, performing “Look At Me” for the European fans.

Some people found it hilarious, while others thought it was a bit classless for a girl to throw her bra on stage. What are your thoughts?

Super Junior star to come home

Kangin of Super Junior Fans are expected to be out in number on Monday to greet Kangin of Super Junior as he returns from his two-year compulsory military service. In total, he has spent roughly three years out of the spotlight.

While SM Entertainment told News N that there are no official plans for the singer as of yet, other Super Junior members will join fans at Kangin’s discharge ceremony in Namyang, Gyeonggi.

Though Kangin’s military obligation was just over two years, he took a break from Super Junior about a year before joining the military after he was charged with a hit-and-run and was otherwise embroiled in controversy after violent outbursts while intoxicated. Entering military service helped him keep a low profile.

Despite SM Entertainment’s comments to the contrary, many are speculating that it won’t be long until Kangin reunites with band members on television and starts performing again.

Fans are hopeful that the 27-year-old entertainer will make a comeback in the band’s new album, set to be released in the coming months.
