Dream-fulfilling Super
Show 5 for Super Junior
There has been a constant
change for Super Junior (and their fans) over the past few years, with the
members entering army one after another and bidding temporary farewells. Kangin
left and returned, while leader Leeteuk and Heechul are currently serving the
nation.
However, Super Junior hasn't stopped moving. In fact, change seems to have
resulted in a tighter bond within the group and with fans.
At the press conference for their concert Super Show 5 on Sunday, Shindong
expressed how their new concert tour is a culmination of their dreams - what
each member has been dreaming of doing for the past five years.
Every member was involved in conceptualising the show, from song selection
to stage design to costumes.
Adding that Super Junior is accomplishing their dream through the concert,
Kyuhyun mentioned how the new show is a combination of the past four tours -
which fans loved - plus a little something more.
With humble beginnings as an Asian tour in 2008, highly popular South
Korean boyband Super Junior's "Super Show" tour returns this year
with its fifth instalment, which kicked off at Seoul's Olympic Gymnastics Arena
over the weekend (March 23 and 24).
Having missed out on
Super Show 3 and 4, Kangin, who had a lot of catching up to do, was undoubtedly
under a great deal of stress and admitted to feeling "a little
nervous". Thankfully, he was not alone. He thanked the other members for
helping him fit right back into the group, and praised them for being professionals
now.
"The past tours were about showing how each member is different, but
now it's about us as a team," Kangin added.
Funnyman of the group, Shindong, also thanked the others for helping him,
as being expected to provide humour does give him stress.
With K-Pop music
conquering fans around the world, Super Junior's management company SM
Entertainment has plans to bring Super Show 5 to even more countries - their
goal: 100 stops.
So far, concert dates have been confirmed for Brazil, Argentina, Chile and
Peru. Super Junior is also set to perform in Tokyo Dome in July.
Concert tours are no doubt tiring, but Super Junior expressed that they
have been working out more than before, and are happy to be visiting new
places.
So we posed Super Junior the question that's on every Singapore ELF's mind
- will there be a Super Show 5 in Singapore?
Shindong revealed that while there are no firm plans to bring the show to
Singapore, they are looking at adding stops in Asia.
