On the November 8th, MTV Taiwan’s Top Entertainment show covered SHINee‘s recent visit to Taiwan.
Among some of the things shown was an announcement saying that SM Town will be making a stop in Taiwan next year!
The show talks about how SHINee went out for Taiwanese food and they love bubble tea and noodles before their first fan meeting. Although one of the members had to sit and sing because of a foot injury, the presence of so many fans made the boys very emotional.
The show mentions how the fans were being really creative in trying to draw their attention and some were even wearing Korean clothes.
Of course, they also covered how Jonghyun cried during the meeting and the Korean media has said that it was because of the pressure he’s under but MTV Taiwan believes it was because of the warmth of the fans. All five said they want to come to Taiwan next year.

Asia’s most popular group Super Junior celebrates 5th anniversary of their debut.
They first appeared on November 6th 2005 through SBS Inkigayo. Since then, they have become Asia’s super star through various activities. Super Junior will hold their 5th year anniversary party in Korea College, Seoul on the 6th. Let’s take a look at the activities they had for the past 5 years.
▶Multi-talented entertainer group’s ‘separately and together’ strategy
Super Junior is made of multi-talented members who work in various areas as actors, MCs, DJs, gagmans, composers and models in addition to working as singers. Since the debut, they had a catch phrase ‘separately and together’ and performed various activities. Many were suspicious of this strategy. But now, it has become a trend.
Siwon, Heechul, Kibum and Donghae are working as actors, while Leeteuk, Eunhyuk and Shindong are working as radio DJs and are appearing various variety shows. Kyuhyun, Yesung, Sungmin and Ryeowook are actively participating in musicals and OSTs.
▶First to introduce unit system
Super Junior is a pioneer in introducing unit system to Korean music industry. Along with their ‘separately and together’ activities, unit system was also unfamiliar. However, it has now become aground breaking system that other singers have also tried this system.
Starting with the ballad unit, Super Junior-K.R.Y. made up of Kyuhyun, Ryeowook and Yesung who have great singing abilities, there was also Super Junior-T who was the first showcase trot as idols. Super Junior-M worked in China and achieved grand slam at Chinese award shows. Lastly, Super Junior-Happy showcased bright and fun music. The group transformed itself through various genres and performances that their diverse music and charms received recognition.
▶Breaking records in Asia
Super Junior is receiving overwhelming interests from all of Asia.
Also, the fourth album Miinah released this year is expected to have their highest CD sales. The album has been ranked number one for 22 weeks on KKBOX.
Moreover, Super Show 2 which was held in 9 cities in Asia for a total of 15 shows had cumulative audience of 2,000,000. Their third Asia tour, Super Show 3 will be held in 13 cities in Asia for a total of 16 shows.

Worthy of the name of ‘Korea’s Best Boy Band’, specializing in all 18 arts of variety. Full of ‘points’, with accurate all-kill skills, the Super Show-hand which had no boredom for three hours straight!
In a sea of sapphire blue light, performing in the Seoul Olympic Stadium, Super Junior started their concert with their hit song ‘Sorry Sorry’ among blasts of fireworks on a unique stage, blinding the eyes of all that were watching!
Members took turns hanging from metal wires five yards above the air, and when they were performing ‘No Other’, Leeteuk and Sungmin flew into the air amidst spurts of bright fireworks and moved to the center of the stage to throw flowers and confetti at their fans, and even before the fireworks were over, the pretty boys floated around like angels appearing out of nowhere.
Besides the extended stage that allowed the boys to get closer to their fans, the stage directors Shindong and Eunhyuk designed countless stages using the elevator that brought them up to the stage, making them ‘appear out of nowhere’, as well as riding around in carts to interact with their fans, these ideas making it so that there was no awkwardness whatsoever within the first half hour of the starting of the show. The 10 boys who were full of ‘dance’* power did not forget about their personal talents, with Heechul banging on his drums and Sungmin playing the guitar, they put their entire heart into performing their 34 songs, proving the fact that they indeed are idol singers.
*A Cantonese pun; it doesn’t make sense when translated into English.
Laughing point! Super Hilarious!
Seeing the members work to make everyone laugh is a sure hit of their concert. Last time, they danced ‘Gee’ and that wasn’t even enough, this time they just decided to play it big and transform into Beyonce and Lady Gaga! Heechul, who is known for his determination and slogan of ‘If I do it, I might as well do it to the best of my ability’ completely changed into Lady Gaga, with the fishnet tights and fiery red lipstick- the best thing was, he looked even better than the original! Compared to the beauty of ‘Lady Heehee’, Shindong’s ‘Shinyonce’ won the laughter of the fans, working with Eunhyuk and Donghae and their exaggerated M-shaped leg movements, they caused their entire stadium burst out into laugher. The colourful variety did not just end there, as the trot-specializing Super Junior T sang their new song ‘Tok Tok Tok’ (Knock Knock Knock) and made everyone laugh until they had no air left. The idols seemed to throw their image away and made everyone laugh, and afterwards they put on a performance of ‘The Terminator’ and ‘Ninja Assassin’, extending the laughter coming from their fans. The funniest part of the show was definitely the ‘fruit basket’, where the 10 boys appeared dressed up as vegetables, and upon seeing the pretty boys dressed up as life-sized bean sprouts, chillies, grapes, onions, and more, it was definitely a new sight to see. The members who reached the high point of their concert with their fans gave it their all on the stage, joking around with each other, spraying dry ice, and attacking each other with water, exposing their playful sides and their brotherly bonds, bringing warmth within explosive laughter.
Crying point! Super touching!
Kangin entered the army in July because of his drunk driving incident, Super Junior especially designed a stage using 3D technology to have a ‘reunion’ with him. In the video message*, it showed leader Leeteuk crying while declaring that he would protect everyone as they waited for Kangin to return from the army. At this moment, there was a crying noise, and looking back, the ELF (Super Junior’s fanclub) were already streaming tears to make a river. This type of crying, it is seriously no lie.
*There was actually a song title, but I didn’t know how to translate it into either romanized Korean or English.
After the sad moment, Super Junior KRY’s best singers Kyuhyun, Ryeowook, and Yesung once again drew out their talent – R&B method of luring tears out, the princes of romance’s soothing voice entering the ear and shaking the heart; Yesung who had been chosen by SM Entertainment as the best singer in Super Junior sang his OST ‘It Has To Be You’, showcasing his sturdy singing skills, and ‘Little Prince of Singing’ Kyuhyun, who was all dressed up in a suit, and Ryeowook with a high-pitched but soothing voice performed as well.
Exposing point! Super sexy!
Summer has arrived again, besides the heavy-bodied Shindong who isn’t in a position to showcase his body, the other nine boys let their fans have a large serving of ice cream. Of course, there was definitely Siwon who claims ownership of the best body. The entire point of the stage outfits was to let the fans have their money’s worth of looking, and Siwon showed off his tight abs and chiseled stomach muscles, presenting a gift of chocolate abs to the fans, as well as swelling chest muscles, and even causing a ripple effect when he ripped his shirt off his back. It was definitely something worth seeing*, and the girl fans who watched until the blood was pulsing through their veins and they nearly contracted nosebleeds’ heart rates definitely rose to above 100 beats per minute. ‘Dancing machine’ Eunhyuk and ‘pretty boy’ Donghae did not lose in any of the action, fighting for a girl onstage, with an explosion of manliness and sexiness. Even Sungmin who is a little more feminine let out an explosion of manliness, under the direction of leader Leeteuk, he performed a sexy dance with four female dancers onstage, with the hardly-seen man power all onstage. Leeteuk’s body isn’t as good as the other members’, and he who was wearing a wife beater onstage showed his muscles and bare back while sending looks at the fans, using his expressions to catch others’ attention, he is definitely the group’s leader!
*Cantonese pun inserted here; it doesn’t make sense when translated into English.
Oops! The imperfectness in the perfectness!
When they were singing ‘A Man In Love’ at the end of the concert, Siwon who is the most fit began to take off his clothes, working hard to be the most handsome he could be, when sudddenly, the elevator ‘suddenly’ began to descent, and Siwon tripped over the small gap and twisted his ankle; however, he withstood the pain, stood up, and continued to perform. Ouch! On another hand, another member, Sungmin, also got his shoe stuck in the elevator, and as a result he had to take it off and walk around with only one shoe on. Eunhyuk who saw the situation quickly ran over to help, and used all of his strength to pull the shoe out, points added for that!
During the press conference cute lunchboxes were provided, as well as cookies, cakes, and fruit baskets. The charisma of Super Junior is unstoppable, attracting millions of international fans to watch their concert. The ‘luggage safe’ outside the concert venue allowed fans from overseas to dump their luggage right away and rush to go watch the concert.

“YouTube plays an important role in attracting fans from all around the world.” -A representative of SM Entertainment
A representative of SM Entertainment (hereafter refers to SM), Kim Young Min, said, “The world’s famous video-sharing website, YouTube, has played the role of an engine to attract fans from all around the world.”
On September 3 (hereafter indicates local time), Kim was interviewed at a restaurant located in Los Angeles and said, “SM signed a contract for providing content to YouTube last year. We built an official website within YouTube which already has an established variety of users worldwide, and people all around the world could watch the content from singers who belong to SM through the YouTube website.”
Actually, many audience members and fans who participated in the “SM Town Live 2010 World Tour in LA” held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, USA on September 4 said that they had become to know singers from SM and watch SM’s content through many Internet websites such as YouTube and Facebook.
An American member of Dong Bang Shin Ki’s fan club entitled Cassiopeia, Luisa Houdek (18) said, “After I watched the music videos of Dong Bang Shin Ki on YouTube, I also came to like the music of Super Junior and Shinee, who also belong to SM, as well. Every singer in SM is showcasing excellent singing and dancing, and they all look very cute. I usually enjoy listening to K-POP instead of American pop music.”
Another fan named Yosophi (18), who came from Spain via a 27-hour flight, said, “I happened to know Super Junior through the Internet.” He was holding the national flag of Spain on which the name of Lee Teuk, a member of Super Junior, was written in Korean.
If the quality of the content spread through the Internet had not been good enough, this kind of favorable response could not have been expected, according to SM. A person at SM explained that the high quality of content produced from the well-established system used to produce star singers by SM, which has been operating for 15 years, could be verified as high-quality content by many people abroad, many of whom have become SM fans.
An American fan named Herisa (19) interviewed at the Staples Center also said, “I listened to the songs of Big Bang at first on the Internet, and now I am a huge fan of Super Junior and f(x). I like both the melodies and the lyrics of their songs.” An advantage of using the Internet is that fans abroad can obtain the information on new songs from their favorite singers in real time.
Thanks to the Internet, fans of Super Junior and Shinee living in East Asian countries could sing and dance along with Super Junior and Shinee even when they first visited their country. And the Internet also established the foundation that could attract 20,000 fans to the debut showcase of Girls Generation held in Japan. The representative of SM Japan, Nam So Young, said, “At this moment, even before the official debut of Girls Generation, there are continuous inquiries from many music stores in Japan including Tower Record about the new album from Girls Generation that will be released in Japan. Girls Generation has already become famous in Japan as they have been publicized through the Internet so far, and so they are performing activities in Japan not as rookie singers, but as ‘Asia’s number one star girl group.’”

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.
