Super Junior's new track 'Lo Siento' featuring Leslie Grace debuted at No. 13 on Billboard's Latin Digital Song Sales chart this week, which is a first for any K-pop group or artist.
Billboard commented on Super Junior's achievement as "Marking new territory for the Korean-music scene." and "The song is allowed on the Latin charts due to producers Play-N-Skillz being a Latin-core artist. The move could indicate a rising possibility of more Korean and Latin acts collaborating if it is performing well on charts that reflect the tastes of both Latin and K-pop fans."
Furthermore, the song reached No. 2 on Billboard's World Digital Song Sales chart.
Meanwhile, Super Junior has successfully held SUPER JUNIOR WORLD TOUR - 'SUPER SHOW 7' in Buenos Aires (Argentina), Lima (Peru), Santiago (Chile) last week, and the group will be heading to Mexico City (Mexico) to wrap up its Central and South American tour on April 27.
