Korean boy band Super Junior has a new album hitting shelves soon, but before that comes Super Junior T's first single. Last year, Super Junior members Kyu Hun, Ryeo Wook, and Ye Sung formed the trio K.R.Y. which specializes in ballads, proving that the boys can indeed sing. Now, the latest sub-group to emerge is Super Junior T, composed of group leader Lee Teuk, Hee Chul, Kang In, Shin Dong, Eun Hyuk, and Sung Min. Moving even further away from Super Junior's dance pop roots, Super Junior T's niche is trot, traditional-style Korean pop ballads which have been making something of a comeback in mainstream K-pop in the last few years.

As if new generation pop idols singing traditional trot wasn't enough of a novelty, Super Junior T's new single Rokuko (Track 1) – the Korean word kokuro (counter direction) in reverse order – is an innovative fusion of musical styles, with challenging lyrics that can actually be sung backwards. The song is composed by Yoon Myung Sun, who also wrote popular trot singer Jang Yoon Jung's "e;Oh God"e; and Eru's "e;Black Glasses"e;. Super Junior T First Single also comes with cover versions of Seoul Sister's "e;First Express"e; (Track 2) and Chu Ga Yeol's "e;Do I Not Matter?"e; (Track 3) and three instrumental tracks.

This version comes with a VCD featuring Chinese-subtitled behind-the-scenes footage from their Rokuko MV and photo shoot.
