Boy band Supernova (Cho Shin Sung) held a launching party to commemorate the release of its 14th Japanese single on May 23 at Tower Records’ headquarters in Tokyo, Japan.

Their launching single “Stupid Love / Come Back to Me” managed to come in at fourth on the daily Oricon chart. The release is the boy band’s first single in Japan since its leader, Chung Yoon-hak, was drafted into the army last October.

Due to fierce competition for the event, fans were randomly picked to gain entry to the launch party. “Only 100 of you were picked from a pool of 3,000. This has got to be the most special event promotion we’ve taken part in. We can’t wait to party with you,” the band said as the event kicked-off.

Since it’s the group’s first release since the departure of Chung, the band said that it was “nervous.” Nevertheless, the group members said that they would work hard to reach No. 1.

Supernova started its tour in Japan on May 17; the tour will continue until the 25th.
