Korean boy band Super Junior dished out their brand of pop music combined with world-class production in front of their screaming Filipino and Korean fans last night, April 10, at the Araneta Coliseum in Cubao, Quezon City.
The Manila engagement was part of Super Junior's Asia tour dubbed Super Show 2, in support of the group's third studio album. Prior to the Philippines, Super Junior's itinerary included South Korea, Hong Kong, China, Thailand, Taiwan and Malaysia. Manila was the last stop in the tour—which kicked off on July 17, 2009 in Seoul, South Korea—making the Big Dome concert the culminating event. The three-hour concert provided Leeteuk, Lee Donghae, Choi Siwon, Kim Heechul, Yesung, Shindong, Sungmin, Eunhyuk, Ryeowook and Kyuhyun more than enough time to deliver most of their songs plus special video presentations, which were a curious hodgepodge of straight-out boy band posturings and cartoonish themes. As previously reported by PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal), the originally 13-member group was reduced to ten as the three other members attend to personal and professional matters. Some of the songs performed by SuJu were "It's You," "She Wants it," "Miracle," "Disco Drive," "Dancing Out," "Baby Baby," "Soul," "Beautiful," "Heartquake," "Honey," "Blue Tomorrow," "Who Am I," "Our Love," "Gee," "Sunny," "Super Girl," "Carnival," "Sapphire Blue," and the hit single "Sorry, Sorry."
LOUD AND WILD. Super Junior brought their state-of-the-art concert gear and equipment to complement the music and to enhance the overall production numbers. The group is well-known for incorporating colorful animation into their live set to play up to the sensibilities of their young fans. The massive stage resembled the type commonly seen in big rock 'n' roll concerts abroad. It was clearly designed to accommodate the group's large number and its style of performing. But more importantly, it allowed all ten members to be seen by their fans at close range.
Since their arrival in Manila last Friday, April 9, the boys of SuJu have been swarmed by eager fans all hoping to meet them up close. At their press conference held yesterday at Edsa Shangri-La in Ortigas, it was reported that the number of attendees exceeded the capacity allowed by the hotel's function room—something that can also be attributed to the organizers' failure to properly account for their invited guests. Last night was loud and wild as fans tirelessly screamed, yelled and sang along with the group from start to finish. Fans also threw stuffed toys onstage to show their love and admiration for the K-Pop sensations. Super Junior reciprocated the warm reception by shooting water at the audience at random using their plastic water guns.
"We love the Philippines!" Super Junior said to their Filipino and Korean fans as they ended the evening with "Marry U."
