Super Junior Leeteuk shares his thoughts on performing at the Tokyo Dome

Super Junior Leeteuk recently revealed his thoughts on bringing the Super Show 4 tour to Japan’s iconic Tokyo Dome, a 55,000 seat stadium that has become a dream stage for many artists hoping to breakthrough within the Japanese market.

“The Tokyo Dome, to be quite honest, is a difficult venue to perform in unless you’re an established artist,” said Leeteuk at a Super Show 4 press conference in Japan. “In a short amount of time, we have received the chance to perform a show here despite the fact that we haven’t promoted in Japan.”

“There are a number of Hallyu artists that are popular in Japan, but Super Junior has broken the mold of idol groups with an image that is completely different from theirs. I believe that this is one of the strengths of Super Junior,” continued the leader. “Hallyu starts like Bae Yong Joon and Lee Byung Hun have all succesfully established themselves overseas with a mysterious and charismatic image. Super Junior, however, breaks that image in an effort to frequently show our fans a more free-spirited and approachable side of ourselves, which in turn helped us received much love and support from the public.”

“Even though we haven’t properly promoted in Japan yet, I believe it was by various online sources such as Youtube and social networking sites that gave our Japanese fans access to the dramas that our members were in, our work as radio program DJs, as well as our music videos that gave them the chance to get to know us as and our work,” concluded Leeteuk.

The Super Show originiated in 2007, and has launched 3 separate times as Asia Tours. Ever since its first show, the Super Show concerts have become one of the key factors that have shaped up Super Junior’s global fan base and support. Currently, the 4th Super Show is the first tour to include dates outside of Asia.

Meanwhile, Super Junior will be returning to the Seoul Olympic Park Stadium on May 26th and 27th to play additional encore shows.

[news] Netizen ranks idol stars according to variety show skills

A recent post on an online community board ranking idol stars on their variety show appeal is drawing attention from fans.

“Idol Variety Show Rank“, the post read, and the top three spots in the upper rank were seized by Super Junior, g.o.d, and Girls Generation..

The netizen wrote, “Super Junior is the real deal when it comes to variety show entertainment, and g.o.d were the best of their time.” In regards to Girls’ Generation, the netizen wrote, “I was debating whether to put them amongst the top or the middle, but there are no female idols that perform as well on variety shows as Girls’ Generation. Even Seohyun, who is more of the EBS (educational channel) type, has middle-level entertainment skills.”

The mid-rank variety show idols included 2PM, 2AM, MBLAQ, T-ara, and Big Bang, while groups like SECRET, f(x), SHINee, 4minute, KARA, B2ST, miss A, and TVXQranked amongst the bottom.

The netizen went on to label legendary idol group Shinhwa as the ‘gods’ of entertainment television, while Wonder Girlswere referred to as a ‘disaster’ when it came to variety shows. “Shinhwa is like the official textbook of variety entertainment. If idols want to be on variety shows, they need to be on par with them,” the netizen wrote, while also saying, “[Wonder Girls] have opened the hell gates of JYP when it comes to variety entertainment.”

Fellow netizens who saw the post responded with mixed reactions, stating, “Let’s just enjoy entertainment shows for what they are- entertainment“, “Shinhwa truly is the best“, “Yes, I acknowledge Shinhwa as the best“, “Don’t you think Super Junior are the gods of variety entertainment?”, and more.

The article on Nate has already received numerous comments by other netizens and fans who disagree or agree with the ranking of the individual.

What about you? Do you agree or disagree with the ranking?
