Super Junior returns to Singapore with their 9^th concert tour, SUPER JUNIOR WORLD TOUR – SUPER SHOW 9 : ROAD on 3 September 2022. This marks the group’s 6^th Super Show on our sunny shores!

E.L.F (known as Ever Lasting Friends, their fandom name) kickstarted their September at Singapore Indoor Stadium with their 8 beloved members – Leeteuk, Yesung, Shindong, Eunhyuk, Donghae, Siwon, Ryeowook and Kyuhyun. Despite the late announcement, the venue was still filled with a sea of beautiful sapphire blue lightsticks, also the fandom’s official colour.

Look at the beautiful sea of lights 😍 Which member are you looking forward to seeing? #SS9inSG #SuperShow9inSG pic.twitter.com/DiiqluAcvr

Before the show commenced, fan support such as banners and even bubble tea (to battle the afternoon heat) were distributed by fans outside the venue. We must say fan service is not just given by idols themselves!

The group finally appeared and started their Super Show with songs like ‘Burn The Floor’, ‘The Crown’, ‘Super’ and ‘Mr Simple’. The atmosphere then turned slightly darker and more magical, with the members performing ‘Ticky Tocky’, ‘Paradox’ and ‘Mystery’ in glittery black outfits.

It was then time for their long-awaited first greeting! Starting off with Shindong saying “Sing-sing-Singapore” and ending with Leeteuk’s “Singapore-pore-pore”, the members incorporated their knowledge of the country with languages like English, Mandarin and even Singlish:

“We super long never meet liao,” Kyuhyun drove the audience into laughter.

“Nice to meet you la”, Eunhyuk added to the Singlish.

With each member's ment getting more hilarious, Kyuhyun dives into the various local langauges he knows - including Singlish 🇸🇬#SS9inSG #SuperShow9inSG pic.twitter.com/eLmh3W65cN

Members like Kyuhyun and Siwon also spoke some Mandarin, visibly remnants of their Super Junior-M (standing for Mandarin, one of their sub-units) days. After greeting their fans, K.R.Y, one of their sub-units, took things slower with ‘I Can’t’, blowing everyone’s minds with their solid live vocals. 

The whole group then appeared on stage again with ‘Believe’, a song specially prepared for Singapore E.L.F.

Leeteuk: “We prepared 'Believe' only for our Singapore fans. How do you like it?”

Eunhyuk: “This song was from our first album!”

Kyuhyun: “Yeah… I wasn’t here yet,” the youngest member sent fans laughing once again.

Super Junior lifts the atmosphere again with an amusing ‘God of Music’ segment, where they cosplayed as famous musicians and churned out songs like ‘SPY’, ‘MAMACITA’, ‘Rokkugo’ in opera-musical versions. They also got upclose and personal with fans while performing at the extended stage!

While the group heads backstage, D&E, another of their sub-units, kicks off a rock medley with ‘B.A.D’ and ‘Danger’. The remaining members joined later with rock versions of ‘Bonamana’, where leader Leeteuk even removed his shirt, and of course the legendary ‘Sorry Sorry’.

📢 Warning for Leeteuk fans 😆 At the very end of Bonamana rock version!

These men age like fine wine, don't you think? 😉#SS9inSG #SuperShow9inSG pic.twitter.com/tnKYOLsRJt

Much to ELF’ sadness, it was time for the group’s closing speeches.

Shindong: “Just like good friends, it’s not about meeting often, but how it still feels the same after so long. That’s how I feel with Singapore ELF.”

Ryeowook: “After we arrived in Singapore, we didn’t sleep well because we were so nervous. At backstage, I see members looking exhausted, but still trying their best to put up a good show. I don’t know how long we can keep our energy going, but we’ll try our best so we can see our Singapore fans for a long time.”

Yesung: “So many thoughts crossed my mind during the last stage. Even though we couldn’t meet for the past few years, I can still feel your love from afar.”

Siwon: “Actually I invited 30 of my friends here today! So we’ve all been looking forward to this moment. Did you guys enjoy tonight?”

Eunhyuk: “Honestly, I went through a difficult 1 month. I had a lot of worries and concerns before I finally got to meet you. There was a space in my heart that was left empty, but seeing all of you today, I think that empty space has been filled up.” The main dancer also received audible cheers and encouragement from the fans, and Siwon was also seen comforting him for the rest of their time on stage.

Eunhyuk: "I went through a difficult one month. There was a space in my heart that was left empty, but seeing all of you today, I think that empty space had been filled up."

Let's cheer our main dancer on, shall we? 💪💙#SuperShow9inSG #SS9inSG pic.twitter.com/KPMcPhyEQO

Additionally, they even saw a couple in the audience and chatted with them! 

Super Show 9 : ROAD in Singapore concluded with ‘Happiness’, giving one last throwback to their loyal ELF who missed them dearly after 3 years.

It may be the last song of the concert, but the group still wants us to be happy by ending with "Happiness" 💕 #SuperShow9inSG #SS9inSG pic.twitter.com/MeQKkfcpAn
