SINGAPORE : With thousands of energetic teens in attendance, “Super Show 3″ over the weekend was nothing short of a screamfest.
Some 10,000 fans – mostly teen girls – congregated at the Singapore Indoor Stadium to experience Super Junior (SuJu) – one of the hottest act in the K-pop scene right now.
With the Saturday concert sold out in an 90 minutes, a second show was added and though the group had to handle an extra show, all they could think about at the press conference, were their fans.
“We’ll work harder in the future, hopefully the tickets will be sold out in 30 minutes,” the group said jokingly as they thanked fans for their support.
But if the show was anything to go by, fans could snap up tickets next in less than 30 minutes.
As the lights dimmed, the seating arena was transformed into a sea of sapphire blue as SuJu fans – who call themselves ELFs – waved glow sticks as if to conjure up the 10-member band who appeared on the massive two-tiered circular platform at the centre of the stage.
Decked in all-white suits, the group opened with their mega-hit “Sorry Sorry” with the expert choreography of Nick Bass – whose resume boasts of collaborations with Beyonce, Kylie Minogue, Justin Timberlake, just to name a few.
Despite the countless covers and YouTube parodies of the song, nothing beats watching SuJu performing live the infectiously catchy “Sorry Sorry” which ranks alongside the Wonder Girls’ “Nobody” in the K-pop Hall of Fame.
Having revved up the crowd, the group followed up with more dance tracks such as “Super Girl”, Don’t Don”, and “No Other”.
Upping the adrenalin another notch, SuJu leader Lee Teuk and mate Sung Min got wired and hauled up mid-air in the midst of flashing parallel light beams and pulsating beats.
As if to allow the crowd to catch a collective breath, SuJu member Ryeo Wook kick-started the solo segment with an acoustic rendition of “Bomnal”, accompanied by Sung Min on the guitar.
Next up was Kyu Hyun, appearing dashing in a three-piece black suit as he mesmerised with his heart-rending delivery of a popular Mandarin hit “Endless Love”, winning one of the loudest cheers and applause that evening.
Also included in the concert were performances by members of sub-group SJ-M – Henry, who proved he can handle the piano as well as he does his violin, and Zhoumi who kept the groove going with a song and dance routine.
Not to be outdone, SuJu member Hee Chul aced the team with his jaw-dropping Lady Gaga impersonation – belting out “Poker Face” complete with a blond wig, red stilettos and outrageous fashion sense.
More gender-bending followed with Dong Hae, Shin Dong and Eun Hyuk giving their take on Beyonce.
“We wanted ‘Super Show 3′ to be impactful and powerful, so we thought dressing up as Lady Gaga and Beyonce would entertain all the fans,” said Hee Chul speaking through a translator at a press conference.
“I’m (a) genius,” Hee Chul quipped in English on the group’s decision to turn into American women which definitely went down well with fans – and hopefully Beyonce and Lady Gaga too.
Lest anyone imagine that SuJu enjoy cross-dressing, the lads quickly shed their wigs and returned the stage, performing more hits such as “Shake It Up”, “Bonamana”, “U”, and “A Man In Love”.
There was no doubt that the “Super Show 3″ concert tour worked on a massive budget, but it was money well-spent.
Apart from the wired mid-air stunts in the opening half of the show, along with impressive special effects, and the sound system was terrific for the well-chosen song sets.
As for the band, they kept the pacing tight with genuinely spontaneous interactions by the 10 members without dropping a beat during the entire show.
As fans at the mosh pits teased them with toys and knick-knacks, the members played along until soon it resembled a stuffed animal ‘fight’ with creatures swooping back and forth.
A few lucky ELFs even managed to get their pictures taken with Dong Hae and Eun Hyuk, who would stop in mid-song to pose with them, while others gamely sang along in Korean when handed the microphone – proving language is no barrier when it comes to music or fan following.
The show was a blast. And those who haven’t had enough of the three-hour, 30-song set show, there’s an encore experience on March 19 when Super Junior stage their gig in Malaysia.

Exclusive long-term contracts later lead some groups to dispute the rigorous demands

-Super Junior, KARA, JYJ-

Surh Jung-min, Music Correspondent
In the world of South Korean pop music, dubbed K-pop, there have been a string of disputes between popular idol groups like TVXQ, Super Junior and Kara and their management companies over their exclusive contracts.
It has ceaselessly been pointed out that there are a considerable number of problematic articles in the exclusive contracts signed in the entertainment sector. Most typical are the long-term contracts of 10 years or more. Also highlighted as problems are contract articles that violate the entertainers’ human rights, some for example that control their private lives. Also problematic is the way companies use unreasonable fines in the case of breach of contract as a tool to forcibly tie entertainers to their companies.
Despite these disadvantageous conditions, most aspiring entertainers sign these deals without much objection. This is because when there are so many aspiring entertainers, it is difficult for them to refuse. There are many instances, however, when entertainers change their mind after becoming famous. They demand to be treated in a manner worthy of their fame. There are also many instances in which other management companies try to lure entertainers over by offering better conditions.
Management companies protest that because they must invest a great deal of initial capital to make just one singer, long-term contracts and steep fines for breaking a contract are a minimum of protection. One music industry official said if a new musician releases an album, a management company must spend a significant amount of money on promotion, from 100 million Won ($89,662) to 300 or 400 million Won is the norm. In the case of major management companies, the initial investment can be even greater. Teaching dance, singing and foreign languages, taught from the time prior to their debut with foreign markets in mind, requires even more time and money.
The problem is that even if the costs are great, it is difficult to make money. Broadcast appearance fees are a pittance, and a great deal of money is required for coordinators and backup dancers to ensure frequent appearances. Profits from albums are also not huge. Even endorsements and events, a major revenue stream for signers, do not result in significant earnings for new singers.
“Even if a new singer reaches the top of the charts, he or she does not bring in much money, so for producers, three or five years will not cut it,” said one management company official. “With the exception of some big management companies, most producers are struggling.”
Despite this, many producers are still jumping into music. They look to hit the jackpot, as the music business is a model “high risk, high reward” business. With so many would-be singers, it is not easy to reform these outdated exclusive contracts and industry structures. Experts say the situation must be improved gradually by improving the profit structure and getting management companies to view their singers not simply as means to make money but as partners.
There have been loud calls to burst the bubble of promotional costs by changing the broadcast-centered singer promotion system. Broadcast companies should try to discover good music rather than dancing to management company promotion, and the public, too, should become an active consumer that looks for good music rather than just the music played on the radio.
Another basic change, too, would be to improve the digital music profit distribution system, in which music site and mobile telecommunication companies take an excessive share, to produce a market structure where performers could make money from their music alone, not advertisements and events. The Fair Trade Commission and other government bodies urgently need to keep continuous watch and make efforts to improve the situation so that unfair acts do not take place in the digital music market or in exclusive contracts with management companies.
