Super Junior bring in a large crowd at the airport and arena for their concert in Mexico City
Super Junior has proven their worldwide fame once again. Their 'Super Junior World Tour Super Show 5' took place in Mexico City on November 7.
Before the concert, they encountered 2,000 of their fans excitedly waiting for them at the Mexico City International Airport despite the late hours because it was Super Junior's first time visiting Mexico. The fans even held fan signs written in Korean for the members. As there were so many of them, Super Junior were led out through the VIP passage with the help of the airport employees.
When it came time for their first performance in Mexico, 14,000 fans, mostly teenage girls, came out to see them perform twenty dance and ballad songs for two hours.
The boys showed off their charisma through dance and song, took part in comic acting, and did fan service by having skinship with the audience members. They even alternated wearing the Korean and Mexican national flags on their bodies, moving the hearts of their fans from both countries.
Andrea, who came with her mother to sing along to Super Junior, said, "I was Super Junior fans for seven years . . . They dance and sing well and I like them because they entertain people."
Super Junior members said on stage, "We came to Mexico for the first time and had not known that we had this many fans . . . If we get the chance, we will come here again."
Check out the video posted by the Mexico City Arena YouTube channel showing the large crowd of fans waiting outside to enter for the concert!

Super Junior to Give Special Lecture in Oxford
King of K-pop Super Junior will give a special lecture at the University of Oxford, the group’s agency SM Entertainment said on Thursday.
Super Junior has been invited by Oxford Asia-Pacific Association and Oxford Korean Student Council to give the special lecture at Oxford Union Debating Chamber in Oxford, England this Sunday at 5 p.m. in local time.
“As Europe has high interest in Korean culture, we decided to invite top Hallyu star to the Europe’s prestigious university. Their visit will be the important momentum to make Oxford people acknowledge Korean culture,” said the organizers.
Drawing in over 300 applicants in three days, Super Junior will mark themselves as the third Korean figure to stand on the podium following Hwang, former Samsung Electronics chief and K-pop sensation PSY.
The group, currently on their global concert tour “Super Show 5,” will excite Mexican fans at the Mexico City Arena on Thursday and then jump to London to heat up the Wembley Arena two days later.

The Independent: South Korea's One Direction: Super Junior's Wembley gig shows K-Pop is on the rise
Boyband Super Junior will address the Oxford Union on their UK visit
They are the epitome of manufactured, commercialised pop - and they are coming over here. Super Junior, a 13-piece South Korean boyband and "super franchise" are playing their first UK headline gig at Wembley Arena on Saturday night before delivering a guest lecture at the Oxford Union on Sunday, representing a new high water mark in the apparently unstoppable rise of "K-Pop".
Ironically for a group from the youth-obsessed world of South Korean chart music, the band is made up of music-industry veterans, some of whom are going on for 30 years old.
Their first hit came in eight years ago and while they are almost unknown in the UK they have had top 10 albums hits all over the world and were the best-selling K-Pop artist for three consecutive years.
After performing in front of a sellout crowd at Wembley, they will follow in the footsteps of fellow K-Pop star Psy with an address to the Oxford University Asia Pacific Society at the university's prestigious debating chamber.
Super Junior were created in 2005 after a mass talent contest run by their management SM Entertainment, that reportedly imposes a stringent singing and dancing training regime on its young performers. The firm's talent also includes Girls' Generation, a catchy pop group that earned a reported $88m in 2011 and appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman.
In this tightly controlled world - sex scandals and drug use are practically unheard of - Super Junior are noteworthy as they are regularly split into different mini groups to appeal to different demographics and allow members to come and go as they complete their military service, which is mandatory in South Korea.
For example in 2008 Super Junior-M, one of the groups five major spin-offs, was aimed at the burgeoning Chinese market and so included Han Geng, a Chinese singer.
According to Keith Howard, a professor of music at the Centre for Korean Studies at SOAS University in London, this is typical of the wave of pop music that evolved in South Korean in the mid-2000s run by "ruthless" management companies, which were not afraid to drop members and substitute new ones for commercial reasons.
"Typically, they are manufactured in a music boot camps for three to six years and given all the skills, from music and media training to language and dancing so they are launched as a fully formed product," Professor Howard said.
The non-stop lifestyle of the South Korean pop machine isn't without casualties though. Speaking recently at the K-pop KCON conference in Los Angeles a former member of girl group After School spoke of sleep deprivation and a gruelling schedule.
"The worst thing was not sleeping," said Rebecca Kim. We came home with 1 hour 30mins left [until the next activity]. I had to wash my makeup off, shower and I went to sleep. But by then, I only had 30 minutes to wake up again at 6am."

The actor chose the Big Bang member as the star he most wants to get to know on the November 8th broadcast of SBS Radio Power FM's 'Park So Hyun's Love Game'. He was asked about his experience hosting 'M! Countdown' and revealed, "I'm really enjoying watching all the performances. Honestly, the MC spot and the performance stage are kind of far. I personally became a fan of many singers."
Kim Woo Bin then confessed he's a fan boy of G-Dragon, saying, "I'm such a big fan of G-Dragon that it was hard for me to talk to him."
DJ Park So Hyun suggested that Kim Woo Bin approach the idol star first saying that he's actually friendly and agreeable despite his intimidating aura.

B1A4 to make a comeback in January
2013-11-09 02:30 pmin-noctem.livejournal.com
Fans may be seeing B1A4 make their return in about two months from now!
One rep from WM Entertainment reportedly spoke to media outlet 'Star News' to reveal, "B1A4 will be releasing a new album in January of next year and kicking off promotions."
The rep also added, "The members are currently in the last stages of preparations."
This should be music to the ears of fans as their longing for the boys seems to have only increased with the release of the group's OST song for 'Reply 1994' the other day.
Hopefully we'll have some solid confirmation or follow-up as December draws near!
