"Confirmation of Super Junior's Asian Tour, Premiere Performance"
And yet another confirmation of Super Junior's stature, the group is scheduled to be the first Korean boy band to hold a premiere at Expo Filipino Clark Stadium in January. The pop group sensation will travel first to Indonesia, two days before their performance in Tokyo Dome, and announced their premiere performance at the Expo Filipino Clark Philippines at an official press conference on Wednesday. SM Entertainment, which is promoting Super Junior's Asian Tour, recently agreed to bring the "Super Junior Horizon" tour to the Tokyo Dome on January 24. The Dome has hosted the world's top talents, such as Mariah Carey, the Rolling Stones, and Beyonce. The Dome, which is also the home of the Yomiuri Giants and Korean slugger Lee Seung Yeop, is the ultimate dream of many Japanese performers, but only top-drawer local acts have ascended its stage, including Ayumi Hamasaki, Glay, and SMAP.
SM Entertainment announced the news in Japan and said, "With Japan as the axis, Super Junior will spread the wave to Southeast Asia. Now the group is reconfirming its stature with the premiere at the Tokyo Dome."
Their Asian Tour means that the group is one step further from being just a Korean group and one step closer to be an Asian group.
Lingering rumors say that SM Entertainment was worried about bringing Super Junior's tour, which would mean just once performance to the said domes. The group, however, decided to go ahead with the idea, believing themselves to be "Asia's group" and also being eager to be the first Korean group to perform at the fabled stadium in the Philippines.
MY COMMENT:
