Korean Boyband Super Junior wows the audience

The 20th of march is one of the memorable day for most of the ELFs (Super Junior fans' name) in Malaysia. Super Junior consisting of 13 members and with another additional 2 members for their sub group were known as the biggest boy band group in Asia. They kick off their 2nd Asia Tour concert Super Show in Korea last year and reach Malaysia on the 20th of March recently. This is their 3rd visit to Malaysia after their last visit back in year 2008 for the MTV Asia Awards.

The boys who attended the press conference 3hours before the concert starts already dress themselves in the opening suit and show off their usual sign while the media snaps every single moves of them.

Before the concert starts, some of the medias went to check out the crowd outside the stadium and some of the media who are not familiar with Super Junior's market were shock looking at the crowd. As interview some fans were there to camp a day before in order to get their nice place. Super Junior fans who are mostly female teenager are not the only ones who fill up the stadium but there are male fans and even aunties. It seems like their target market has expanded from teenage to all ages. A few local celebrities was spotted there too however it seems that fans were only interested to meet Super Junior and forgot about other celebrities.

The "Blue Sea" scene

Fans from different country and different races that day come into ONE because of Super Junior. Surprisly One Malaysia goal was success that day as most of the ELFs from different races come united as one and they actually shouted "Only BLUE, No! Colourful!" when some fans were using colourful light stick. The fans shouted only Blue is because Super Junior theme colour is BLUE and they wanted to create the "Blue Sea" scene like what happen to Super Junior concert in other country. Another proof of unity and cooperation between ELFs, a shinning star scene was created too when Super Junior sang the song "Shinning Star". Message was forward among ELFs in different forums and websites to inform them to switch off the blue light stick and turn on a white mini flash light on the Shinning Star performance. ELFs from Singapore even prepare boxes of mini flash lights and distribute it for free.
