Leader Leeteuk shared his thoughts on his return from the military, "I went and came back well. It wasn't as easy as I thought it would be."


Since it is their first group comeback in two years, the reporter asked the members to recite their roles from when they were rookies for old times' sake. Heechul introduced himself as 'Hello, it's Super Junior's Cinderella, Heechul', Shindong introduced himself as 'Hello, it's Shindong who's in charge of being the talented one among Super Junior', and Kyuhyun introduced himself as 'Hello, it's Kyuhyun who joined Super Junior as a new member.'


Leeteuk also explained the meaning of 'MAMACITA', "The title is 'MAMACITA'. In Spanish, it's the word used when you see a beautiful woman." Shindong then stepped out as if he was a pretty woman passing by while the boys called him, "MAMACITA", and Siwon and Eunhyuk played with words by saying, "I hate him" [the Korean phrase for this is "Nahn je sheelta" which sounds like "MAMACITA".]


Leeteuk shared how it felt to record their album in a long time, "It was very awkward. I went into the recording booth and told the audio engineer that I was too embarrassed to do it. Because I found it was so awkward to hear my voice through the headphones." Shindong shared, "I don't experience anything like that at all. I sound really good at the recording studio. But oddly, I can't sing well outside [of the studio]. Only in the recording studio..." bringing laughs.


When asked, "Honestly, while you were on hiatus, was there an artist who caught your eye the most [as a potential rival]?", Heechul blurted out, "AOA." But Heechul didn't realize that the question was asking which group caught their eye as a rival, not in terms of attraction. But Kangin added that Heechul really considers AOA as his rival to which Heechul joked, "I get angry when I see pretty people", sharing his frustration in seeing people just as pretty as he is.
