Supernova proves popularity in Japan with 70% of M!Countdown's attendees being fans

Hallyu group Supernova has proven their popularity in Japan once again after it was made public that about 70% of the crowd that attended last week's M!Countdown in Japan was in fact there to watch Supernova.

Last April 25th, Mnet held a one day even in Japan at the Saitama arena with an incredible line-up of various K-pop artists. Among them, was Supernova as they had just made their return to the Korean music scene with their latest release "Stupid Girl". Before their performance at the festival, a video of the group arriving at Haneda Airport already showed a heavy response from Japanese fans. When the group later performed at the arena, however, it was revealed that of an estimated amount of 10,000 fans, more than 6,000 were there to watch Supernova.

Though the group's popularity in Japan is well-known, even the organizers of the music show were surprised as they didn't expect such a big amount of people to show up. The show's producer stated "there are almost 10,000 number of fans in Saitama arena, and I can say that about 6,000 fans came here for Supernova. That is 2/3 of the total number. The fans singing along during the group’s performance was amazing." Fans of Supernova, grouped in Japan under the fan club name of "Milky Way", were seen to be waving their light sticks to the performances of the group, lighting up the arena with their star-shaped blue-colored lights.

Supernova performed their comeback track "Stupid Love", as well as "Saturday" of the same release, and was able to receive much response from the Japanese fans present. During the event's finale, they performed a stage of Shinhwa's "Perfect Man", while being joined by Shinhwa member Minwoo.

Supernova is set to finish up promotions for "Stupid Love" sometime this month before they head back to Japan with a small tour and a new single release.

Tbh this was actually a surprised. More people seem to be there for FT Island imo. I mean, there was a sea of yellow.

Probably fans of both or something. Idk how they gathered that 70% were there solely for Supernova.

Wow, I'm really impressed! Hopefully their Japanese fans buy their Korean album too to boost their sales. :3
