Super Junior ‘It’s You’ MV released

The MV to Super Junior‘s new single ‘It’s You’ is finally released today. The MV looked a little like a dance version of the song but good thing is fans get to see more of member KiBum in the MV. But it makes me wonder if KiBum will join the 12 for the promotion of the song.

Anyway, the song is great and addictive, and I’m looking forward to their comeback stage this weekend.
