The first impression that Korea’s super group Super Junior left for the Singaporean media yesterday was: friendly and fun. Their funny behaviors make them very suitable as promoters.
Super Junior arrived in Singapore yesterday to promote Samsung’s new handphone model, hold a press conference and a private concert. The members who came were leader Leeteuk, Heechul, Yesung, Shindong, Sungmin, Eunhyuk, Donghae, Siwon and Ryeowook. Kyuhyun just had his ear surgery done, so he could not come.
Super Junior held their press conference in Marina Bay Sands in the afternoon. Although it was only 15 minutes, they showed the press how lively and natural they were.
When asked how they can stand firm and survive in Korea’s competitive music industry, Leeteuk answered, “The secret is to have a lot of passion for singing and dancing”.
After saying that, he asked Eunhyuk to demonstrate what is called passion. Eunhyuk danced a short part of “Bonamana”, winning a round of applause.
After Leeteuk finished answering, there was a sudden clapping sound, and then the media were dumbfounded. It turns out that Shindong was playing the “applause” sound in the phone.
The funniest on the scene was Shindong. The moment he entered he kept playing with the phone, and even using it to take pictures.
When Shindong was asked if there was something that the group could not try, they answered, “I have nothing to be afraid of. Recently, we tried doing a lot of things like cross-dressing, and played a game in a variety show, where a member would be poured with water all over their body if they fell asleep.
Leeteuk treats Samsung as “friends”
Previously, a media stated that there was information from inside sources which said that it required a 7-digit sum of Singaporean dollars to invite them to Singapore. If this is true, then it was definitely worth the money, because Super Junior kept stating how much they loved the new handphone that they received during the short conference.
Leeteuk even spoke in English saying “My best friend is Galaxy S (the handphone model), my brother is Samsung, my father and mother is SingTel and I love Singapore.”
After listening to that, the business will definitely smile from ear to ear!
2000 people celebrated Ryeowook’s birthday
The showcase, which was planned to be held at 7.30 pm, was delayed by 25 minutes. The moment Super Junior entered the stage, the atmosphere could only be described by one word—deafening.
The performance lasted for about 30 minutes. The sound system was terrible—it was difficult to listen clearly to Super Junior singing and talking. Nevertheless, they seem to be unaffected by this and continued to perform 100%, which was highly appreciated.
They performed 5 songs, including their new song “Bonamana”, the song popular in Asia “Sorry Sorry” and Yesung’s solo “It has to be You” from Cinderella’s Sister OST.
During the concert, the members and the 2000 participants celebrated Ryeowook’s 21st birthday. They boys naughtily took a small piece of the cake and dabbed it on Ryeowook’s nose. The event organizers cleverly wiped his nose, and asked fans if they want to eat this “precious” piece of cake, arousing fans to scream wildly “YES!”
Towards the end of the performance, the members became more and more “high”*, Leeteuk even jumped off the stage, making fans go crazy. Siwon even moved the off-stage camera to the stage, making the crowd excited.

thanks Marion for the help
A Taiwanese fan named Liushi, in preparation for Super Junior’s 4th album, wrote a message written in Chinese on the evening of 5th May “This May! SJ’s 4th album daebak!”* in the LED display of Galleria Department Store in Seoul, Apgujeong, which lasted for 8 minutes. SJ’s member Lee Donghae posted his response in twitter “ELFs did a promotion for us in Galleria! I’m almost moved to tears. Thank you, I love you guys, 4th album GOGO!”
Last month, Galleria Department Store held Chinese customer feedback activities. A lucky Taiwanese fan Liushi read about it and posted it on her blog, saying that she wanted to help promote Super Junior, because the department store is very close to SM Entertainment’s building. Leader Leeteuk and member Donghae went there to take a picture, Heechul also publicly thanked their Taiwanese fans through a television program. SJ’s 4th album BONAMANA will be available for sale in Korea on the 13th.

Why I love Super Junior? I wasn’t into K-Pop when Super Junior debuted, I started noticing them only after they released Sorry Sorry (in my opinion, THE song that shot them to superstardom and got them where they are right now). My first impression of them was “Why so many members?” and “What’s with the haircut?” While watching EHB, it was then when I realized that these boys began to grow on me. They have a nonchalant approach to fame and they don’t take themselves too seriously, that’s a quality I rarely find in other K-Pop groups. I realize in Korean entertainment world, idol images are shaped and they have to maintain that, but every so often, with SJ members, their real personalities appear in interviews, variety shows, radio broadcasts and especially Super Show. They way they interact with each other make me feel like I’m watching the boys-next-door, approachable, funny, dorky and humble. I guess that imperfection shows that they are real and relatable.
Why I love TwELFs and SPL? When I first started collecting information about Super Junior, I stumbled upon several fanbases, but TwELFs stood out to my attention immediately for several reasons: quality content, good English, pleasing to the eyes & easy to navigate.Like any other new converts, I joined in the fandom bandwagon and participated with gusto especially on Trending Topic projects. I was surprised to know that TwELFs founders were still in college, because they ran a tight ship with the blog and Twitter account. I was even more pleasantly surprised when I communicated via Twitter with the founders, because they were so friendly and unpretentious.
TwELFs blog has meaty content without sacrificing entertainment value. It is informational without sounding too serious and at the same time, provides all the fun tidbits for fans –newly minted or veteran.
SPL is oozing with creativity (e.g. forum members referred to as Students and Super Junior members as Professors!) and over a short period of time has gained the reputation of being one of the most acclaimed international forums for ELFs. SPL keeps making changes for the better and continues to carry out credible projects for Super Junior and ELFs. SPL is a labor of love, and I salute the people behind it, who are such dedicated hard-workers.
