==Overview==
Rokkugo, ({{lang|ko|로꾸거}}) is "gokkuro" ({{lang|ko|거꾸로}}) spelled backwards, a term meaning "backwards" or "opposite". The single is promoted as a [trot](/source/trot_(music)) single, although influences can be heard in each track, such as [rap](/source/Rap_music) and stylized modern music rhythms, included [K-pop](/source/K-pop). The music video features fellow label mate [Isak](/source/Kim_Isak) as a comedic rabbit who was playing [Whack A Mole](/source/Whac-A-Mole) with the members as the targets. Although trot music are usually more accepted by the older audience because of its older style of Korean popular music, Super Junior-T's "Rokkugo" has been well-accepted by young audiences as each track in the single are bending more towards a new style of trot to attract the attention of the young audience, hoping to make traditional trot music more accepting in mainstream music.

Three more [EPs](/source/Extended_play) were released after the single was released in [Taiwan](/source/Taiwan). A [music video](/source/music_video) and making video of "Rokkugo" is included in the package.

The second track from the single album, "First Express" is originally sung by the [girl group](/source/girl_group) Seoul Sisters. {{ill|Bang Sil-i|ko|방실이}}, a former member of the group, is featured in the Super Junior's [cover](/source/song_cover) of the song.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://v.daum.net/v/20070223213214145 |script-title=ko:〈스포츠칸〉슈퍼주니어-t '가요무대'한번 밟아봐야죠 |trans-title=<Sports KHan> Super Junior-t, let's try 'song stage' once |last=Kang |first=Su-jin |work=[Kyunghyang Shinmun](/source/Kyunghyang_Shinmun) |via=[Daum](/source/Daum_(web_portal)) |date=February 23, 2007 |access-date=August 3, 2025 |language=ko}}</ref>
