Background and release

In July 2015, Super Junior released the compilation album Devil to commemorate their ten years debut anniversary.[1] A repackaged edition of the album, retitled as Magic, was released in September 2015.[2] They underwent hiatus shortly afterwards due to most of the band members were undergoing their mandatory military enlistment.[3] In January 2017, Star News reported that Super Junior are going to make a comeback later that year.[4] In September 2017, Sports Dong-a reported that Super Junior would release a new album on their 12th debut anniversary on November 6, 2017, two years since the release of Devil.[5] However, Label SJ denied the rumour, saying that although the band was preparing for an album, its release date has not been decided.[6] At midnight of September 27, a photo containing the cryptic word "D-40" and "SJ Returns" was posted on Super Junior's social media accounts.[7] [8] The band's website also began a countdown to November 6, 2017, the date of their 12th anniversary.[9]

On October 9, 2017, SJ Returns, a reality program that documented the band's 120 days of preparatory period leading up to the release of their upcoming album started airing on Naver TV and V Live.[10] "Black Suit" was first introduced in episodes 17 and 18 of SJ Returns which aired on October 19, 2017, as one of the five songs shortlisted by their agency's A&R team as the lead single candidate of the upcoming album after conducting blind test involving over 100 demo tapes.[11] An anonymous voting held among themselves resulted in the song being picked as the album's lead single.[12] Super Junior released several video teasers for the track starting November 1, 2017.[13] "Black Suit" and its music video was premiered in front of journalists,[14] before it was released on the evening of November 6, 2017.[15] The single featured the voice of seven out of eleven members of Super Junior, namely Leeteuk, Heechul, Yesung, Shindong, Eunhyuk, Siwon, and Donghae.[16]

Composition and lyrics

"Black Suit" is a dance-pop song written with emphasise on synth and brass instruments.[17] [18] It is composed by the youngest winner of Danish version of X-Factor, Martin Hedegaard,[19] and Coach & Sendo.[20] It is composed in the key of F minor, with the tempo of 122 beats per minute.[21] Its composition was described as a restrained melody played on top of a swing brass rhythm.[22] Characterised by its cheerful melody and addictive chorus, the song reflected the K-pop trend during the moment of its release.[23] [18]

"Black Suit" lyrics told the story of a man in a black suit who stole hearts in the fleeting moment in the dark, inspired by the character Lupin.[24] [25] It was penned by Lee Seu-ran, Jo Yoon-kyung, Oh Min-joo, Lim Jeong-hyo and ESBEE. The band explained that the song portrayed the group's existing bright image but with addition of their maturity.[26] Heechul described it as a dance song,[27] while Yesung introduced it as a song that excites people.[28]

Choreography

The song's dance routine was choreographed by Tobias Ellehammer.[29] Band member Eunhyuk said that "simple and easy movements have became Super Junior's signature performance", thus the song's choreography focused on movements that can be easily copied.[30] The song's choreography was first performed by Super Junior on episode 100 of Knowing Bros, which aired on November 4, 2017, ahead of the song's official release.[31] Heechul originally was not planning to join the band's line-up for "Black Suit" performance due to the worsening condition of his leg injury originated from a car accident in 2006 but decided to fill in the gap left by the band members who are serving in the army.[32] [33] The song was specially choreographed to take into account of his condition so that he would only appear at the latter part of the song.[34] They are supported by backup dancers in their performances due to the band being reduced to half its size.

Critical reception

Tamar Herman from Billboard described the song as "both dynamic and playful". She further said the song's release "proves that the aging group can still pull off a powerful K-pop dance track".[35] The Korea Herald writer, Hong Dam-young, on her review said Junior's] powerful vocals blend well into the song's pulsating swing vibe". She commented on the similarity between the song and their previous single "Devil" (2015), concluding that the band "does not dare experiment with a new genre". She also opined that the song "may be a one-time hit that will not likely stand the test of time".[36] Shin Mi-kyung, writing for Osen, said the song is "full of freewheeling energy", and despite its similarity to the band's previous releases, she found the "tension of the song [to be] attractive".[37] Hwang Hye-jin from Newsen praised the song's arrangement, saying that it "starts with a simple sensation and gradually becomes powerful".[38] Shin Mi-rae from MBN also commented on the song's composition, saying that "the melody of the chorus captivates the ears with its addictiveness that makes it imprinted on you the moment you hear it."[39] News publication Ten Asia described the song as a result of the band "pursuing a more sophisticated style" yet still "showing some of their music colours".

Commercial performance

"Black Suit" debuted and peaked at number 23 on the Gaon Digital Chart for the week of November 5–11, 2017, following its release.[40] It stayed for three weeks on the chart, positioning at numbers 60 and 85 on the following weeks.[41] [42] The song also reached number 27 on the monthly Gaon Digital Chart, in the chart published for the month of November 2017.[43] It reached number 51 on the monthly Gaon Download Chart, in the chart published for the month of November 2017. It was downloaded over 92,000 times during the month.[44]

The music video of Black Suit, directed by Rigend Film is released on November 6, 2017, the same day as the single's release. It featured the band members plotting a heist to steal an expensive black suit in an auction,[48] however the suit was stolen due to unforeseen circumstances.[49] The band members play various roles in the music video; Leeteuk as the auction host, Heechul as an investor, Yesung as a courier, Shindong as a rich man, Eunhyuk as an appraiser, Siwon as a client agent, and Donghae as a bodyguard.[50] Siwon's part in the music video was retained despite his non-participation in the album promotion. The music video was filmed over a few days in September at a set located at Namyangju, Gyeonggi-do.[51] [52] [53] The visual won the International Music Video of the Year award in Myx Music Awards 2018, making Super Junior the only Korean artist to win an award in the ceremony that year.[54]
