K-Pop fans unite at Super Junior ‘Super Show 5’

MANILA, Philippines- It was a night filled with fun and unforgettable memories for K-Pop fans as Korean boy band Super Junior held its “Super Show 5” concert.

The show started at past seven in the evening of Thursday, October 24, at the Mall of Asia Arena. Philippines’ K-Pop fans united for this one night concert, united by their love for Super Junior with the help of Globe Telecom.

The place was filled with lights, both from the audience and the stage. Aside from the pumped up performances of Henry, Zhou Mi, Kyuhyun, Siwon, Donghae, Eunhyuk, Sungmin, Shingdong, and Heechul, people were amazed with their grand stage production.

The fans can’t help but scream as the nine boys present that night say “I love you,” “Magandang gabi,” and “Kumusta Philippines.”

These boys indeed prepared for this grand night as they filled each production with surprises.

The boys showed the fans short clips they prepared before performing a song: portraying an agent’s life, playing Russian roulette except the guys are their hands, and role play of a guy sacrificing their life for the girl they loved—which by the way made the crowd go loco.

One major surprise is when four of the members—Kangin, Ryeowok, Sungmin, and Siwon— came out of the stage wearing girl's clothes, as they impersonate a Korean girl group.

But the whole place was filled with laughter when the nine boys came out the stage impersonating superheroes like Ironman, Spiderman, Son Goku, Woody, Hulk, Loki, Wolverine, and a giant white bear.

The night would not have been complete without the boys singing the hits like “Super Girl,” “Bona Mana,” “It’s You,” “Can’t Breath,” “Trap,” “Marry You” and for the finale, “So I.”

What made this concert extra special was the return of Hee Chul from military service, and when the fans sang happy birthday for Donghae, who celebrated his 27th birthday last October 15.

Before they finally left the stage, each member gave a message thanking the fans for their overwhelming love and support.

Henry, one of the members who knows how to speak English, said that the support of their fans is “the reason why we keep doing what we do.”

The Super Junior left their Filipino fans with one promise, “We’ll be back soon!”
