Popular K-pop group SEVENTEEN's recent hit, Super, has become the talk of the entire K-pop world as it is the only Korean act on the Billboard mid-year Boxscore charts. Despite having performed only eight shows, they managed to secure an impressive ranking on the charts, which is a testament of their immense popularity and talent.

The 13-man group released their 10th mini-album, FML, on April 24, 2023, consisting of six tracks which are seamlessly a blend of various music genres, showcasing the group's versatility and creative prowess. F*ck my Life and Super were the double-lead singles of this particular album, out of which the latter propelled to heights no one could've imagined.

Super is an immensely infectious track with a mix of uplifting hooks, unique and energetic discography. Currently standing at an astonishing 82 million views on YouTube and 64 million streams on Spotify, Super presents a unique blend of traditional Chinese music, costumes and messages.

The meaning of the word Son-o-gong is Monkey King in Korean. It is derived from the Chinese word Sun Wukang, which was the title given to the Monkey King. The lyrics "I'm just feeling like a Son-o-gong!," resonate the profound meaning behind the song and it's energetic image.

One aspect that particularly shines through is the intricacy and precision of SEVENTEEN's dance choreography, flawlessly synchronized with the background dancers. However, it is important to note that Member The8, unfortunately, appears to be absent for the majority of the MV due to a clavicle injury he sustained, just a few days before the shoot.

Following the success of this particular track, Seventeen is the only K-pop act on the Billboard Mixyear Boxscore, while ranking No. 27 on Top Tours and No.19 on Top Ticket Sales.

Fans of the group were exhilarated at this remarkable achievement and showcased their support through numerous tweets.
