Bonamana
Bonamana (Hangul: 미인아; RR: Miina; literally: Beauty) is the fourth studio album of South Korean boy band Super Junior. It is the first album with ten out of the original 13 members to take part. It was first released as Version A, on May 13, 2010 by SM Entertainment. This was followed by Version B on May 20, which included behind-the-scenes photos from their stage performances and music video shoots. A repackaged version C was released on 28 June, with four new tracks including follow-up single "No Other".
The album, as to the information provided by South Korean album chart Gaon, sold a cumulative total of 300,000 copies of all versions, awarding the album as the "best selling album of 2010" and outselling their previous award-winning studio effort Sorry, Sorry.
Recording and production
The group first announced that they were working on their fourth full-length studio album in January 2010 while presenting an award at Thailand's KPN Awards. A week later, Kibum, who participated very little in the group's third studio album Sorry, Sorry due to acting pursuits, discussed the possibility of participating in the production of Bonamana during an interview. After a thorough discussion with producers, Kibum decided to continue his acting career instead. With Kang-in fulfilling his two-year mandatory military service and Han Geng's lawsuit against SM Entertainment, only ten members were able to work on the album.
Bonamana (song)
"Bonamana" (Korean title: 미인아 Miina; literal meaning Beauty) is a song performed by South Korean boy band Super Junior. It is the lead single from the group's fourth studio album, Bonamana. The song was released as a digital single on May 10, 2010, three days before the South Korean release of Bonamana. The song was written by Yoo Young-jin, who also penned the lyrics.
Background
Followed by the establishment of "SJ Funky," a style that Super Junior had been exploring since the release of their third studio album, Sorry, Sorry, "Bonamana" draws influences from American electronica funk and hip hop, incorporating African rhythms and club house beats into the melody, similar to the song's writer Yoo Young-jin which later showed the same style on Yoo's later works Super Junior-M's "Super Girl" and Shinee's "Ring Ding Dong". The song incorporates the Afro tom, an African percussive instrument, and the powerful riff of a Jupiter synth, a sound synthesizer. Vocals are portrayed through usage of autotune. The song is about the sincerity of a man who is trying to win a girl's love, and the lyrics are described as witty and humorous.
