Starting the year in “Express Mode”, Super Junior brought their New Year celebrations to Singapore this year. From a lively countdown performance to their 20th anniversary and a special fan sign, Singapore E.L.F.s were truly spoiled after waiting so long for Super Junior’s return. The long-awaited SUPER JUNIOR 20th Anniversary TOUR <SUPER SHOW 10> in Singapore was a mix of bittersweet memories and the thrill of hearing so many of their songs live. As expected, it was incredibly entertaining, with nonstop laughter and high energy throughout the night. Here’s a glimpse of what happened that night!
I didn’t know that there are so many E.L.F.’s in Singapore! — Kyuhyun
The venue was packed on both nights, with E.L.F.s waving their blue lightsticks in unison. Super Junior took the crowd on an unforgettable journey through their discography, from the soft, sweet vibes of “No Other” and “Delight”, to the high-energy, sexier stages of “D.N.A” and “Mr. Simple”, and through the emotional moments of “Dorothy” and “Marry U”.
Change your mind, change your life, (but don’t) change your idol! — Eunhyuk
Super Junior has the stage presence, vocal skills, and dance moves of the perfect boyband, but they are also natural entertainers, with many members thriving in variety shows. Every Super Show is always entertaining, and fans can always look forward to their playful banter. This time, they had us rolling with laughter when Shindong wished the fans “Gong Xi Fa Cai” as Lunar New Year approached, and Heechul immediately followed up with “Hong Bao Na Lai”, jokingly requesting red packets. Ryeowook also delivered a cheeky line, saying he hadn’t slept well the night before because the fans were jumping in his heart, and wondered aloud if they would let him sleep tonight, making everyone burst into laughter at the cheesiness. Leeteuk also cracked up the crowd with his line, “I’m your superstar, I’m your idol, I’m your uncle”.
It was easy to feel how much Super Junior loves Singapore E.L.F.s and how genuinely that love is reciprocated, especially at the end of the concert when the members lined up and slowly made their way around the sides of the stage, doing their best to get closer to fans and making sure everyone, from every angle, could see them.
I give you water, I give you life, I give you my heart. I’ll protect you until the end. Everyone, I love you! — Donghae
One memorable moment from the concert was a VCR highlighting a fan’s journey as an E.L.F.. It showed her experiencing the highs, such as Super Junior’s music show wins, and the lows, like the shocking news of the group’s car accident. The video captured her growth and how Super Junior accompanied her through her life, from her studies to flourishing as an adult. It was easy to relate, as fans, we celebrate our favourite group’s victories and share the pain during in their hardships. Being a fan may not always be easy, but having artists who genuinely care and do their best to protect and give back to their fans makes the bond truly special.
As both Super Junior and E.L.F.s grow older together, it is heartwarming to see the bond they have nurtured over the years. With Shindong reminding fans that health is the most important priority and that he wished E.L.F.s could meet with Super Junior as often as possible, we hope that they would keep their promise that the group would return to Singapore as soon as they can.
