A blockbuster concert by a group of K-pop singers from SM Entertainment a month ago earned the 10th ranking in the Billboard Boxcore chart, published on Oct. 9, the Yonhap news agency reported Friday.

SM Town Live Tour, which was featured on Sept. 12, brought 15,015 fans to the Staples Center in Los Angeles, the United States, marking $1,101,582 of ticket sales.

The Boxcore chart took the following factors into consideration: overall popularity evaluated after overseas performances for the last three months, ticket sales and the size of audience recorded by performance promoters around the world.

SM Town toppled pop celebrities such as Shakira, Sting, Justin Bieber and Guns N’ Roses, who ranked 16th, 20th, 24th and 27th, respectively. It is surprising that artists officially ranked from 1-9 in the music chart have performed more than twice, while the SM Entertainment performed just once, an official from SM Entertainment stressed.

“It is very rare for K-pop singers to enter top 10. Through the landmark performance in Los Angeles, we saw would-be potentials for both SM and its artists,” an official from SM Entertainment said. At the stadium, a group of SM musicians such as Boa, Kangta, TVXQ, Super Junior, ShiNee appeared on the 9/12 music showcase, each showcasing their hit numbers. The SM Town Live Concert is slated for January in Tokyo, South Korea’s largest entertainment agency added.

h”Is it the best acquaintance in my life? It feels like it’s the one time I’ve met good people.”

This is the answer that was received when Shindong was asked what Super Junior meant to him. “Clenching my fists and following the difficult flow of life, the Super Junior members were the strong wall that was supporting me.” After debuting for 6 years, they have become one of Asia’s top idol groups.

Before and after meeting the members of Super Junior, Shindong strongly stresses that his self-confidence took a 180 degree turn.

“It was like I was a kid that didn’t know how to do anything, and after I became a member of Super Junior, the climax of my life came. From that time onwards, life started to rise up like a platform. That meaning, you could say that it was the best acquaintance in my life? It feels like it’s the one time that I’ve met good people.”

Of course, if life before having a goal wasn’t this hard, that would definitely be a lie. In reality, they are all very worried about the state of their Chinese member Hangeng.

“It’s not like I’m not satisfied, there’s no way that I can’t be. But the company is also very worried about us, and the fact that we are doing so well right now, we want it to last longer. Some say that an idol’s life span is only 5 years long, but in order to prove that wrong, the members often discuss together and work hard to do our best. We want everyone to see a different side of us.”

He stressed once again that ‘If someone gets famous, they will change, but in life Super Junior is the best.’ and ‘I don’t want to give up.’

Through the episode of ‘Dr. Champ’ that will air on the 27th, there could lie the reason of Super Junior’s strength.

“Before that there was also another drama, but I want to do better this time. Because I want to show a better side of me to the members, that’s the only reason why I’m so nervous, right? Or maybe acting is just that hard (hahaha). Lines that are like everyday words are even harder, and when I say my first line, because I’m very nervous, I won’t even know if I’m bitten by a mosquito.”

Appearing as a taekwondo practitioner and filming for the first time high up in the mountains, he was ‘super’ nervous. But that also produced ‘higher’ expectations.

“I only realized after I performed that I wanted to get through that work, and that I had to dig up more of my talents, which caused such a high expectation. Even though I don’t get much airtime, but through this chance I can see a me that is getting better and better, and to this type of change, I am very thankful.”

Super Junior has been discussing about other teams that are seen as their ‘rivals’. ‘The best acquaintance of his life’, Shindong still thinks that it’s like that, and in order to let the members see a better side of himself, there is internal conflict between the members.

“As long as we have a strong foundation, we will grow more. It basically feels like I’ve stepped into the world of acting, but I won’t forget that this heart belongs to Super Junior.”

Super Junior member Leeteuk has revealed a little story regarding his stage name.

Leeteuk has appeared on the SBS Chuseok Special “Star Real Video” on the 21st, on the show he revealed “My initial stage name was not Leeteuk”.

He said “My initial stage name was Kangsu. Just like the meaning behind the name Kangta was ‘The slugger* of the music industry’, the meaning behind the name Junjin was ‘The advancer of the music industry’, the meaning behind the name Hyesung was ‘The comet of the music industry’, etc.”, “Lee Soo Man representative said that now ‘You have to become the strong competitor of the music industry’ which was the meaning of the name that he has initially given me, Kangsu.

Leeteuk said “I wanted a more concise name, thus I went to apply to change for another name. After a few days, I had a second stage name ‘Shin Lee’. When I asked for the meaning behind that name, he answered ‘a certain deity who has came down to the earth’. I felt that it was too womanlike thus I went to apply to change my name again and I was finally given the name Leeteuk. Lee Soo Man representative said that the meaning behind that name was ‘You are a special guy’”. Leeteuk’s words have made everyone around him to burst out into laughter.

Guests who had appeared on this week’s show includes Park Hyunbin, Jung Juri, Sungmin, Luna, Key, Hwang Kwanghee, etc.

Surely everyone has seen the teasing teaser of ‘Hoot’ that was released on SM Entertainment’s official youtube channel last week which has since gathered more than one million views. The music itself reminds most of us with the ’007′ style while the concept has more of a western feel to it, with all the cowboy hats and boots. An unusual yet unique combination. Just when we think it can’t get any better, this morning, one of the Super Junior members, Siwon, was confirmed to make a special appearance in the music video. Want to know how he looks to go with the whole theme? Check it out yourself.

 

Andy Lau is grateful towards Super Junior Choi SiWon.

In the midst of preparing for the movie ‘Detective Dee And The Mystery Of The Phantom Flame’, Andy Lau was on MBC show ‘Section TV Entertainment’ on the 24th. Through the interview, he responded saying he is grateful and feeling touched that Choi Si Won regards him as his life saver. With that, he has also prepared an autograph CD as a gift.

Choi SiWon revealed on a Strong Heart saying “I met Andy Lau through the movie The Battle of Wits in 2005”. Due to blood pressure and having to film under high temperature, he was unconscious and almost fell off. It was Andy Lau who held on to him and saved him.

Regarding that, Andy Lau responded with “It’s a pity I haven’t been able to see Siwon for a long time” and has sent his wishes saying “I hope Super Junior’s concert will be successful”.

• 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.
