Celebrating the group’s 12th anniversary with a new album, Super Junior will reveal how it prepared for its much-anticipated comeback in a special reality show.

The show “SJ Returns -- Super Junior Real Comeback Story,” which started its six-week run Monday on the Naver TV Cast channel and V Live channel, captures how the members prepared for the new album over 120 days, according to the group’s agency Label SJ on Monday.

Going back in time to member Eunhyuk’s discharge from the military in July, the first episode of the show featured the process of preparing the album and heartfelt conversations between the members. “SJ Returns” airs at 11 a.m. from Mondays to Fridays.

Super Junior’s comeback on Nov. 6 will mark the group’s first release in two years since its albums “Devil” and “Magic.” Originally a 13-to 15-member group at its peak, only seven of the group’s main members are participating in the upcoming album. Members Ryeowook and Kyuhyun are serving in the military, while Kangin and Sungmin are on a break.
