Super Junior's 5th album 'Mr. Simple' has set a record for selling over 500,000 copies.
According to Gaon on April 13th, 'Mr. Simple', which was released August 3rd, 2011, sold about 502,830 copies by the end of March 2012, which proves Super Junior's immense popularity.
Super Junior's half-million record sales have only been achieved by 2 other artists, namely Kim Gun Mo in 2003 with his 8th album 'Hestory', and TVXQ in 2008 with their 4th album 'MIROTIC'. As soon as 'Mr. Simple' was released, it not only dominated the music charts in Korea, but also in Taiwan, Thailand, Philippines, and other countries. Super Junior also set a record in Taiwan for their track "Bonamana", which held the #1 position on KKBOX's chart for 63 weeks straight. "Mr. Simple" is following in its footsteps by holding the #1 spot for 34 weeks straight now.
Super Junior, who is currently on their world tour, have already toured Asia 3 times before, uniting over 500,000 fans and evidencing their popularity not only through their album sales, but also through their concert ticket sales. On the 6th, they performed in Paris, France, which made them the first Korean group to hold a solo concert in France. After successfully completing their concert in Paris, Super Junior is continuing on their world tour to perform in Shanghai, China on the 14th, and in Jakarta, Indonesia, on the 28-29th.
