Super Junior Promises to Dazzle Fans

On November 20th, the boys of Super Junior held a press conference for their ‘Super Show 4‘ tour, which kicked off in Seoul recently. Members of the press flocked to the Olympic Park Stadium to see the superstars live and hear them express their thoughts on their latest adventure.
Leader Leeteuk began, “What’s special about this performance is the style we used to set up the stage. We took the idea of the “continental drift theory” and used it to create our own “stage lift theory”. Up till now, we have had performances where we were lifted up into the air. This time, however, the stage itself will move around, which will make this show even more spectacular.”
He confidently asserted, “If you listen to the lyrics of our song “Superman“, there’s a part that says ‘Our scale is the best’. To make those words come true, we will bring Korea a performance that has never been seen before.”
When asked to choose a theme for their show, Leeteuk chose, “The world is one“.
‘Super Show 4′ will bring that idea to life, as it’ll be travelling to venues all over the world. Super Junior will hold concerts in Seoul, Osaka, Taipei, Bangkok, Singapore, Beijing, and many more cities in Asia, the Americas, and Europe as well.
Super Junior will be performing songs from their 5th album, ‘Mr. Simple‘, as well as fan favorites and solo stages.
