The South Korean idol group Super Junior, who brought “Sorry Sorry” to being one of the more known songs in Taiwan, will be having their final stop* for their Asia Tour in Taipei from today for the next 2 days, making it the first concert to be held in Taiwan’s Super Dome in the year of the Tiger. It has also been said that Super Junior will become Taiwan’s tourism ambassador, showing the amount of power this “Korean wave” possesses.
Super Junior’s first concert in Taiwan is really something, with concert tickets being snapped up at a very fast rate. Moreover, this stop happens to be on the Chinese New Year, and members have already known more about the customs from their Chinese member Hangeng, making them look forward to the celebrations of the Lunar New Year.
However, fans were disappointed to know that, according to the organizers, Super Junior’s first “Super Show 2” in Taiwan will only present 10 members, as Hangeng, Kangin and Kibum will be absent, when news of this was release, fans wrote on the PPT website that they wanted to cry, saying that Hangeng’s promise to celebrate the New Year with them wouldn’t be fulfilled.
Since these 3 members have been absent since the Beijing’s concert, fans were rather prepared. However, it is a different story on the web. At the end of last year, when Hangeng was in Taiwan, he promised fans that he will be in Taiwan during their February concert to celebrate the New Year. But no one expected things to turn out this way, leaving fans expressing that they “felt like crying” and “was going to fall apart”
*: I think they meant in the East Asia region.

Super Junior’s Back! 1500 fans wildy chase at them
Braving the cold front, well over a thousand fans jam-packed Taipei’s Taoyuan International Airport to welcome the Korean wave’s hugely popular group Super Junior. The fans were chaotically pushed their way into the airport’s Terminals 1 and 2, and because they wanted to get close to their idols, they ran and jumped up to Super Junior without feeling “Sorry, Sorry” about it.
Since they are holding concerts tomorrow and the day after that, Super Junior arrived yesterday afternoon on different flights, with both flights arriving an hour airport to Taoyuan International Airport. Organizers requested the assistance of 50 additional personnel to help protect the superstar group, but approximately 1,500 fans squeezed into Terminal 2’s arrival hall area awaiting them.
Once Super Junior arrived to the airport, the thousand-plus fans fiercely pushed their way past the barricades before they were completely set up, pressing hard against the glass to take pictures, and doing everything they could to climb up to higher ground. The scene was nearly out of control, as fans were accused by the organizers afterwards for tearing down the protective corridor.
The members of the group are busy today with their busy itinerary in arriving before their concert. Yesterday, the members of the two arriving groups left the airport for the posh Sherwood Taipei hotel, then for dress rehearsal that night. This is also Super Junior’s last stop in their Asian tour.

The original author from UDN may have referred to East Asia, which would correctly refer to Taiwan and which also does not include the remaining countries in their tour.

Fans snap up Super Junior albums in anticipation of concert
K-pop boy band Super Junior proved their growing popularity in the Philippines with their “Super Show 2” live album, which topped the country’s international album chart.
According to the record label that released Super Junior’s album in the country, “Super Show 2″ is No. 1 on the Astrovision and Astroplus international album chart for the period Feb. 8 to 14. The two retail chains have about 30 outlets in the country.
The “Super Show 2” album contains 39 tracks recorded live from Super Junior’s concert tours of the same title.
This is the third time that Super Junior’s album has topped album sales in the Philippines.
Many surmise that the brisk sales of Super Junior’s albums is somehow connected to the boy band’s upcoming concert in the Philippines slated on April 10 at the Araneta Coliseum.
Super Junior’s “Sorry, Sorry” album debuted at No. 1 on the Music One album chart three days after it was released last September, becoming the first K-pop artist to top the local music charts.
In addition, Super Junior’s “Sorry, Sorry-Answer” has topped the MYX music charts.
The single is No. 1 on the MYX Hit Chart covering the period Feb. 14-20, edging out releases by Adam Lambert, Tokio Hotel and Kris Allen.
It also topped the MYX International Top 20 for the period Feb. 13-19.
The “Sorry, Sorry” album was the No. 1 bestselling K-pop album in the Philippines last year.
It was included in Music One’s top 25 bestselling albums of the year based on sales from three outlets from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2009. It was the only K-pop album to enter the top 25 list.
As an offshoot, “Super Girl,” the album of the boy band’s subgroup, Super Junior-M, also topped the sales chart of both Music One and Odyssey Records when it was released last Novemeber.

1. Leeteuk had more than 170 stitches on his face and back during the accident of 2007. So glad he’s still here with us
2. Eunhyuk is the most neat in keeping his place clean, but he doesn’t wash himself well. That’s quite a contradiction LOL
3. SHINee Taemin used to teach Zhou Mi about dancing. I can imagine little Taemin teaching tall Mimi dancing xD
4. Heechul once showed a red jumper to Hangeng but got rejected as he thought red was too feminine. At the time Heechul had a red jumper on.
5. Eunhyuk wants his sister to marry Siwon, cos he’s gorgeous, religious, and rich LOL Who wouldn’t want to marry Siwon? xD
6. Eunhyuk felt scared the first time he met Shindong LOL Why, Hyuk, why? ^^
7. SJM’s “You and Me” and “Confession” are written by Zhou Mi. He’s so talented <333 "You and Me" is so beautiful ^^
8. http://twitpic.com/12remf – Yesung has got Ddangkoma a dongsaeng. His name is Morahaji. CORRECTION! Yesung indeed has got Ddangkoma a dongsaeng, but it hasn’t been named yet. “Morahaji” means that he’s wondering on what to name him. So Ddangkoma’s dongsaeng is still nameless. We are so sorry for this mistake. We’ll make sure this won’t happen again. Sorry
9. Wookie’s favorite part in SNSD “Into The New World” is the “kicking” part. Around 2:56 http://bit.ly/cjvdGJ SUCH A PERV!
10. When asked what he thought about antis / haters, Donghae wrote “GOOD BYE”

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.
