The album's original 12 songs are also still around, kicking off with mega hit "Sorry Sorry," the house dance number for which Super Junior collaborated with renowned choreographer Nick Bass.

Contemporary urban dance track "Why I Like You" has also turned into a fan favorite with its unique rhythmic melody and catchy beats.

    Why only SM artists??? Pssshhhh I want to get a hold of SS501 and KARA albums (at a cheaper price). Oh well, I guess SM artists are more popular. but this is totally killing OPM LOL but I don't think we should be the ones to blame...it's not KPOP singers' fault that we love their music more...
