You are 100% right, that group are not the pioneers no matter how much their fans claim so. Old Kpop fans all know this. The problem is that many new kpop fans don't have any respect for older groups. One thing I've always loved about suju is that they always acknowledged the first generation groups and taught ELF to do so as well. I love your reactions btw and I hope that eventually you'll react to their varieties because you'll fall even harder in love with them :)
true. they always acknowledged 1st gen idols contributions and thats what i love about suju. theyve been up for so long and never even forget who help them open the doors of kpop.
Super Junior were selling out concert tour in latin America before that group even debuted. Let's not forget about them being the 1st kpop group to have their own concert in Europe, 1st kpop group to have a concert in many asian countries and even years later they still were the 1st kpop group to perform in Saudi Arabia. 😌👑👍 Suju debuted before some of music charts were even created. Leeteuk was the one to propose the creation of Gaon chart.
Had this conversation last night while out drinking with the girls. That group that shall not be named is nothing but a coattail rider. Basically the entire 3rd generation and follows is just living in the GLORY of 2nd generation hardwork and accomplishments. I blame SM for this because Super Junior was the first to conquer the international world winning awards and breaking records but it was never promoted. So the public overlook SuJu in many aspect.
I’m really glad that you said that ;; I don’t care if people kept saying _that_ group is the biggest in the kpop world and whatsoever. Even though it’s not. But they went as far as denying FACTS. You see, Super Junior came to Saudi Arabia in 2019. At that year, Saudi Arabia has just recently started allowing concerts at all. And Suju were the first kpop group to have a concert in Saudi Arabia. It was _in a tent!_ Big enough for maybe 2000 people. Sold out in a couple of hours. They made the best performance, made a lot of memories with us ELF, Heechul even said it reminded him of SS1 because of all the memories we made. It was not befitting legends like them, we honestly elf were mad at the organizers of the concert, but all anger went away after the beautiful beautiful memories we made and really a tent wasn’t bad at all since we felt the closest to them 🥺❤️ and they were as happy as us and gave their all in the performance. They performed at the level of any Super Show in a big stadium. Anyway, they accepted to perform even in a tent with stage that was just set up in the day they arrived. Not at all befitting for legends like them. Yet Leeteuk kept his promise to come to Saudi. A promise he made in 2009 when it was impossible for anyone to make a concert there cuz it was banned. But he came as soon as it was possible. They weren’t scared to come even though it was no doubt a new territory for them. They came to meet their fans first and also paved the way for other artists to come as they always do. They knew it’s their job and if they don’t come first no one else will. Stray kids also came, suju gave them a portion of their concert and they performed a few songs. But Suju did a whole Super Show. It was SS7s. They even adjusted some of their choreography so it is appropriate to perform in a conservative country. Like.. who does that?! T_T They’re just so amazing and really care for their fans. Any other group would just refuse to perform there if they were given restrictions and were asked to change there choreos, cuz it’s not easy. ANYWAY, A few months after, _that_ group came and performed in Saudi Arabia too. In a stadium. With 30,000 fans. And after that, EVERYONE kept saying that “bts is the first kpop group to perform a concert in Saudi Arabia”. EVERYONE. TV news, Newspapers, Tv shows, in both Saudi Arabia AND KOREA. Like SS7s never happened!! How DISRESPECTFUL! It’s so frustrating. I know for a fact that bts and any other group would have never come if suju hadn’t come first and made it possible for them. That made me upset for a while:( But I know suju don’t care because they know there’re legends. They know their worth and have nothing to prove to anyone. But yeah, Super Junior are obviously the true pioneers, and will always be. Kings. 💙
Can I say ... thank you for your information. SUJU were pictured in the stadium so ELF thought that was where the show would be. Many ELF had questions about why SJ were stopped/redirected (whatever) from having their SS7 in the stadium and ended up in the tent. We were all so 'hurt' to see our men like that but as you said, they love us and obviously cared enough to do their best .. as always. That is why we love and respect them.
Wow... I can't believe you just said something that others would never say in their reactions. Respect you for telling the truth! And yes, Superman used to be their opening song for Super Show.
suju's songs superman, the crown, and super are actually all connected to each other. if you read the lyrics... superman: "should i pluck the stars for you, count them one, two, three. with the stars we've lost we are thirteen stars. but we are not lonely. we have SM family and elf" the crown: "within the many stars scattered in the darkness, set the scene like a comet. the many stars that are stronger than ever" super: "the scattered stars finally find their places. turn the boring atmosphere around. time to steal your heart once again. the moment the blinding light overlaps, it blazes up and shine" the stars represents the members 💙
What I really love about them is that they never lose sight of their beginnings. It keeps them grounded. And I truly love how they always credit the ones who came before them, the 1st generation of K-Pop such as H.O.T, Seckskies, Shinhwa, and the ones behind every success such as their staff and dancers. They maintained a healthy competition with their friends in the K-Pop industry like TVXQ, SNSD, BigBang, 2PM, 2AM and other 2nd generation groups. They also don't forget to support their hoobaes. Siwon has mentioned before they want the younger K-Pop groups to succeed for a long time, as SuJu has, because they know how difficult it is. By staying active together for almost 20 years, they hope that they can inspire their hoobaes, too. I think that by setting that example, E.L.F. have learned also to embrace or warm up to every group that SuJu interacts with.
Super Junior is pretty much loved by fans. since before debut To the point that fans protested, SM intervened many times when SJ was in trouble. Even bought some SM shares, bought it to negotiate the fans' dissatisfaction and fully protect SJ, and if Super Junior is in danger, the elf will immediately become a mother bear
I didn’t notice that tears were streaming down my face while you were talking about how SJ is a pioneer. you see, our fandom has been belittled, mocked and disregarded just because according to them we support the wrong group. No matter what others say we will always stand by Super Junior. We might have disagreements within the fandom and sometimes it gets a little overwhelming but at the end of the day we are more than Everlasting Friends. We are Everlasting Family.
I am so touched with comments you left😭 yes, It was they that paved the road. I feel upset whenever the young say "go away, the old!". They don't know how tough time they have endured and made their "young" idols go easily. (Of course, they are still perfect Idols! How rude they are! So many fans in the world want to see them on the stage!!) SJ deserves all the respect from millions of K-pop fans.(and SJ and we Elf are respecting for 1st gen. Idols who opened the road as well.) I love all your comments. Thank you so much.
super junior is a unique group, they put sweat, tears and their heart for 15 years and counting, they were the first to bring kpop to latin america, france and the rest of asia, they always try to deliver the best if their fans, their concerts seem more private parties with elf than just singing on stage and everything is mixed with a touch of humor and fun
I have been in 2 sushow. I can compeletely agree with you. Its our party. Since its not an idol performance. Its they deliver and we accept. And both parties enjoy the moment together. I am sorry … i mean 3 sushow? 🤣 miscounted since its been too long time ago 😭 i miss sushow so much
That's it! You just watched ELF's two initiation videos, you are now officially a certified ELF! Welcome to the cult! 😜😂 There is no turning back now, we just fall deeper and deeper into their trap! ☺😂 And yes, they are some of the most genuine, humble, funniest, craziest people on earth. That's not an exaggeration. These are the reasons why I fell in love with them. No cockiness at all, just pure love for each other, their craft and their fans. They don't treat their fans as fans but really as friends. How they interact with ELFs are truly just like a bunch of friends.
In the crown the lyrics "beyond being the first and becoming the best" are so powerfull because YES SJ are the kings of the hallyu wave. But they are not conformed with that, they want to be more than having the label of been the first and they are proving that with their amazing dedication. Thanks to them and the bands of the 2 generation kpop is what it is today. And yeah honestly 1st and 2nd gen idols suffered a lot.
Suju are special. The amount of times they have bowed towards the audience. I have so much respect for them and what they have accomplished. They are humble and don't let the fame get to their head. Anyone that is willing to give them a chance ends up falling for them.
ruclips.net/video/-tlMMaHI7Zs/видео.html Their full bow to audience looklike make some new idol surprise, then there was Leeteuk always bow to senior or junior, always say sorry for his member mistake, take responsibility for everything(heechul rant at strong heart).
"when you're very bored and surfing the internet, if you just type in super, our results will come out" is definetely my favourite lyrics from suju hahaha, cause they just spit the fact
Super Junior has been through a lot. I know I’ve repeated myself in a lot of various RUclips comments, but there really is no band or fandom that have as much mutual love for each other as much as Super Junior and ELF. There have been two devastating car crashes. One that almost cost the youngest his life and voice. We’ve seen members leave due to poor treatment from the company and/or toxic fans. Poor Leetuek has been through things no one should ever face and he’s always put his group and fans first and I just have so much respect and admiration for him as a human being let alone the best leader in kpop. I could go on but I’ll stop before I start getting too emotional and sentimental 😅. Again, thank you for your reaction!
One of the reasons I really love SuJu is that they are very humble people. They may joke about their fame and their greatness sometimes but they do stay grounded. Maybe it's because they fought with sweat, tears, and blood that they value their roots and are proud of where they come from and where they are now.
We somehow know that they're humble n professional in their work because a lot of people in the Korean entertainment industry (idols, celebrities, staff) say so, people older or younger than them. Though they can be chaotic n noisy but their own staff (managers, stylists, dancers) have been working with them for years, even decades. In some variety shows or their own vlogs you can see how they tease and treat their staff like their own fam. They are loved not only by Elf but also by people working for n with them.
You finally found this Anthems. This 2 songs are very special for Super Junior and to Us - ELF. Oh yes they are bunch of smart people with variety of skills thats why they have may different songs and genres but still have a touch of Super Junior Style song in it and they dare to try new things, like new genre and collaborations. Their up beat songs enjoyable to listen as well as their ballads.
each member had a wide evolution, they went from being the leftovers and test dolls of sm, to autonomous artists with their own sub-agency added to the fact that they can make decisions about when and how to make their comebacks, In addition to directing and planning their concerts, that stage in the form of 8 in the crown was designed by Eunhyuk, he was in charge of the supershow 8
@@yuhyi0122 I've read somewhere that since SS7, Eunhyuk has been the chief stage director & that he's been taking to learn (apprentice?) about it since SS4..cmiiw💙😉
To be honest, it’s my first time watching their live concert video. My heart feel like bursting..with love , with quiet pride , and jaw slack from amazement.
What I will say about *that* group, is it's understandable to say they paved their own way to fame, but the way many of their fans spin the narrative to suggest they paved the way for all kpop idols is simply not true. Not even in the region people say they pioneered. They've paved some way that worked well for them, and that's fine. It's also fine that some groups are following that path as well hoping to achieve similar accolades, but there is only so far they can run with it. Super Junior has true confidence. They aren't bothered by disrespect because they don't need to prove anything. They just do what they always do, and the haters fall behind. Superman and The Crown are the exceptions where they humbly brag about this fact.
When I first attended Super Show 8 (Super Show is the name of SuJu concert) when Superman was played. I feel like I can't breathe. It felt so surreal and dramatic hahaha well they aren't SuJu if they're not dramatic and passionate when it comes to performance, singing, and having fun. That's what they do best. Thank you for reacting to their videos and hope that you can also attend a Super Show, hopefully soon. Stay safe!
I just discovered your channel with this video, and I have to say, all your thoughts made me so happy! I've been an ELF since 2009, (back when practically no one in the US knew what Kpop was LOL). I was in high school when I discovered them, and now I'm almost 30. I feel almost like I've grown up with them. LOL I've seen all the hardships they've gone through, so these songs always have so much meaning when I hear them. It was so nice hearing your lovely thoughts on the "paving the way" topic. Unfortunately, a lot of younger fans don't give the older groups the respect they deserve... (and I'm not referring to just SJ, but the 1st generation groups like Shinhwa and H.O.T.) I'm so happy that you reacted to these. These are some of my favs. They give me goosebumps every single time. ^-^ Thanks for reacting! (Now I have to go find your other vids! ^-^) Have a lovely day!
I saw a tweet from an ELf to those other toxic fandoms trying to put down Super Junior. Something about “before you start, remember that your idol ‘s idol is Super Junior and that Elf backed it up with screenshots of various new gen of kpop idols admitting in interview or variety shows that their fav is Super Junior or a member in Super Junior. Another Elf tweeted “My Idol is your idol’s idol! “ What a clapback haha
I just wanted to let you know that your comment/reaction in SUPERMAN made me cry. Thank you for acknowledging the experiences and things Super Junior had been through. They might not be the top 1 now but they definitely are one of the best out there and going strong for 17 years. Kings, Legends, Icons, Inspiration not just in Hallyu Wave but in all aspects. Again, thank you. You have gone deeper in their musicality as a group/sub-unit/solo. Soon enough, you’ll be digging through years of variety & educational (😅) shows. Trust ELF, you won’t see the end of it all coz you’ll just find yourself repeating the same shows over and over. 😂
When you said something about pioneers it reminds me of their old song where they basically representing South Korea as a country, "Victory Korea" (for World Cup if I'm not wrong) and "Seoul" feat. SNSD (to boost tourism). Definitely should check them out 😁
..if you would like to see a "Hyper Yesung", then "Victory Korea" is a must see one.. again, i will bet my happiness if the MV will not make you love Yesung more.. hehehe.. 🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰
I agree that it’s the passion for the performance and the music but also the brotherhood, (even separate from the relationship between them and ELF) Superman and The Crown I’ve learned kind of highlight that the brotherhood is what makes them stronger and helps the confidence on stage. It may come off as cockiness because it’s beyond the relationship with ELF but they can look to each other even in the middle of a song and be like “Hyung you good?”
Im so glad you said that about "that" group, because same. It was something that had to be said. 1st gen groups created kpop and set the foundations of what the genre would be and 2nd gen groups like tvxq, suju, shinee, big bang... helped shape it
I agree, I found k-pop from that newer group, I shazam-ed a song on an advert and it brought me into this whole other world I didn't know about. Luckily did my research though, it's SuJu over everyone for me. Everything they've been through over the years and they're now absolute legends. Incredible. I love both of these songs, they're completely iconic, but The Crown is the one that gets me super pumped! I'm hoping a member guide is to come by the way! 😊
Got scared the first time I listened to Superman too. This isnt a song they made for our playlists, its to show that they know that theyre on top of their game
This is why we all insisted you needed to hear these songs and reacts to these. These tell their story and it’s why we call them our anthems. We hear these songs and we are proud. Thank you so much for reacting to these!!
Couldn"t agree more to everything you have said about them... these guys are the pioneers, or named among the pioneers of Kpop.. coz we still have the 1st gen groups that opened the gate china, and BOA & TVXQ that opened the way to Japan, and SJ opened the gate to all countries.. and what I love about them is they always mentioned and acknowledged their respects to their seniors, which you know these acknowledgement rarely happens now a days. Superman really hits different for ELF. Thank you for reacting and respecting their hard work. I'll now catch up watching your reactions to SJ...LoL
I won't blame you that I cried watching this reaction 🤧 You are accurate about the so called other group aint paving the way; especially-obviously not the pioneer (worry not; I highly respect them. just that... sadly things often time be kept distorted among the fans smh) and to look back at the Crown lyrics; it is making me emotional. it is their acknowledgement of their own self and them as a unit - the dedication, the struggle and also the success story. that song is deserving to them. They are not cocky I dare say. it is them being them (one of the transparent group ever) doing what they like with people they love. Thanks for the reaction. yeayy finally SJ anthem checked 💙💙💙
My first time watching Super Junior’s super show was the Super Junior’s Beyond Super Show last year on VLive . They opened with this song and i was just… no words could described how I felt. And yeah i also had that feeling you described..i just joined a cult.. except I couldn’t put into words 😅
agreed with every word you said 💙 there is no one like Super junior , and yes they were the ones opening the door for other groups.. Like they were the first on performing on most country . * it's took them 10 years for all member to finish military service.
You are right unfortunately most of kpop stans think that kpop started with their favorite groups and starting making wars everywhere but kpop is known all around the world because of super junior and we have proofs 😌 voting, charts, streaming .....ect Was not important in that time (I'm talking about 2005 to 2010) but suju is the gate of this industry they present them as hallyu wave kings they were just phenomenal comparing them to 2nd Gen and if you are new kpoper I'm not waiting you to understand what I'm saying the group who spreaded Korean pop to the world is super junior hands up 😌
Yes finally!!!! My next recommendations are some rock songs, - Mr. Simple + Bonamana Remix (SS7 live; rock ver.) - Don't Don (a rock song released in 2007) - Rockstar (SS5 Japan)
From the project group of the camp, the training period is 6-7 months, a group of people with diverse abilities come to practice together. Then it suddenly became a permanent group because of the fans. It's incredible, isn't it? they were born to be Super Junior born to be a legend
Just came across your channel..... Thank you so much, i feel like crying!! That group xxx are not the pioneers. Anyone who's interested or know a bit of KPop history will know that SUPER JUNIOR aka SUJU/SJ are the real KPop pioneers of modern times. Hence, SUPER JUNIOR is known as the HALLYU KINGS as they actually started the HALLYU/KPop Wave!
They do open SuShows with Superman. Although in SS8, they used The Crown and had Superman played before they started the concert. As always, I am enjoying your reactions. 😊
You are the first one who strongly say true words. That is the fact, SJ are pioneers. But there are not many people are doing stuff like you, can say. Respect and support.
thank you for the reaction SUJU Superman song is a sacred song between SUJU & ELF, don't be bored to enjoy SUJU songs because there are many choices of songs approaching 800 titles, please choose what you like ELF will be happy to support anything related to SUJU💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
thanks for reacting to SJ. Superman and the crown are very special songs for SJ and ELF because they represent the challenges we have been through as a group and fandom. I respect the bravery you have in saying an honest opinion about a certain group with pretty crazy fans😅. really if in the future you have the opportunity to attend a Super Show, do not miss it It will be worth every penny ☺️👌
your video reminded of Yesung's amazing vocals in the crown.. I want to go and listen to the song..haha Thank you for showing so much love to our SuperJunior 💙
i really like how objective you are with your reactions and commentaries. thank you for loving suju and appreciating them for their talents and the people that they are.
Love your reaction videos as usual :) Your videos made me feel like listening to a friend and learning more about the bands together in an open-minded, calm, and mature manner. It's nice that you also talk about how your perception or opinions on certain things changed the more you learn about the bands as it is a good reminder that what we see from these talented and hard-working artists are only one side of their talents and who they are. I felt that many Kpop fans are often stuck with the (often unrealistic) specific 'image' of the idols which actually render these idols' ability to challenge themselves and grow as an artist. For Super Junior, it might have been a blessing that they started off as project group since people and SM had no expectation for them which allow them to be able to cultivate very fluid image of themselves and their band compare to the typical bands whose image were already carefully planned and set before debut which can be very hard to change.
I love the way you said the truth, the fact after you watched SuperMan. That really touch me, not many people can say that. Appreciate, will follow your channel.
Thank you, Hurraira. I have chills everytime I hear both Superman & The Crown. I love the vibes from both songs. Can't wait for your Ahora Te Puedes Marchar reaction💙
Superman and The Crown always make my soul burn. The lyric, music and performance so dramatic. Another vibe music you must watch is -Shirt (please react the video from music show, not the concert) - somebody new (mv+live) - runaway Can't wait to the next suju reaction!
Thank you for your reaction!!! Amazing songs!!! Strong and important message!!! I have never been to their concerts but these openings put me to trans…. it must be fantastic experience to be there live!!! 💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙
You should check out Ryeowook's ( A medley songs about "Night&Star" ) video where he runs through the Youth of May OST he did in 2021 and Yesung's Beautiful night cover as well as a collection of other songs of his cause for a lack of a better word, it's amazing lol
Thank you so much for this... I"m one of those who requested for these two songs. Hoping also for Rokkugo live performance (also its hip-hop version SS8 Japan) and Eunhyuk's SS6 Dear Two. Thank u again..I really love your reaction videos 👍💙
I can't say I like Kpop because I only listen to 2 groups/bands (Suju and CNBLUE). After finding them, I thought: Ok, maybe I'm ready to listen to 'that group' and see what all the people see/feel, I have tried several times through different approaches (mv, interviews, concerts) and it is impossible to find in them the level of charisma, power and confidence of Suju.💙
Rewatching this, and everytime I watch superman and the crown makes me proud being an ELF, proud of Super Junior. Thank you for your reactions, I love it
Amazing reaction and amazing choices i love it, you know the superman is an anthem of SJ and ELF it's still gives me a goosebump، Thank you for appreciating Super Junior's music and their hard work to be at this level of professionalism, yes they are very humble appreciating and respect their seniors and this is the power of super junior
It has been a joy to watch your journey into Super Junior. I look at your channel every day to see if you have done any others. It is a 'hole' you just do not want to climb out of. They have filled a void in my life and have for many other ELF as well. As you said, they are truly one of a kind. Not many people would be 'up front' and acknowledge them as who they truly are. Thank you so much for such honesty.
Yup! So true..it makes me feel so proud too! There r times that Iget emotional when I see this esl reading d lyrics too . There r few othr grls older than them & around their age that r still standing strong but to d wide range of shccess in d whole entertainment industry..they r kn top..+ d consistency & all throughout all these yrs. & yes, solo, sub-units & collabs included .. I akwys listen in shuffle so every tym these songs r on, they make me fele so empowered & encouraged. Very doff kind of songs but I'm in luv w/ them jst as much w/ d othr types..esp when u watch d live..haha..yes, girl! They r d pioneers to soreading kpop in d world, thru them kpop reached d other side lf d world..no one ckuld deny that, d grp u'r refering maybe d most popular today but they jst continued what these supermen started... & d times & techonology is w/ them, so it's a bit easier to b known..unlike going back 10+ yrs ago..imagine how great it isbto b known worldwide w/ such limited opportunities . D same reason y I sometimes feel so sad when ppl keep ongiving recognition to younger grps esp d rth gen ones w/out knowing SJ & othr grps lyk ij 1st & 2nd gens who had to go thru a lot more jst to succeed in xtra circumstances given d tym.. That's y i really appreciate those who give honor to their sunbaes a lot coz to b honest, they r reaping too what their sunbaes sowed in d earlier yrs.. Thank u so much! Girl, u have to see d giide nxt pls..it's jst about d tym & nxt is d weeklt idol 2020 episodes .it's best to briefly show who they r indvdually & as a grp in d past & present.. Btw, both prformances r openings to SS4 & SS8 concerts, respectively.. Tc!
You are 100% very correct that that certain group are not the first to make kpop very well known around the world. Sure they are very popular now because they are young but Super Junior and other 2nd generation groups made kpop well known not only in Asia but around the world
Yes, you're right, they're not hungry for money. not hungry for fame They've all reached the top of their careers. They just do it because the elf is still there. They made it fun and happy with the members as long as the elf was there. They will continue to sing and dance on stage.
You are 100% right, that group are not the pioneers no matter how much their fans claim so. Old Kpop fans all know this. The problem is that many new kpop fans don't have any respect for older groups. One thing I've always loved about suju is that they always acknowledged the first generation groups and taught ELF to do so as well. I love your reactions btw and I hope that eventually you'll react to their varieties because you'll fall even harder in love with them :)
true. they always acknowledged 1st gen idols contributions and thats what i love about suju. theyve been up for so long and never even forget who help them open the doors of kpop.
most accurate
Yeah even some fans of their own dongsaeng of same company.... *smh
💙💙
Super Junior were selling out concert tour in latin America before that group even debuted. Let's not forget about them being the 1st kpop group to have their own concert in Europe, 1st kpop group to have a concert in many asian countries and even years later they still were the 1st kpop group to perform in Saudi Arabia. 😌👑👍
Suju debuted before some of music charts were even created. Leeteuk was the one to propose the creation of Gaon chart.
Had this conversation last night while out drinking with the girls. That group that shall not be named is nothing but a coattail rider. Basically the entire 3rd generation and follows is just living in the GLORY of 2nd generation hardwork and accomplishments. I blame SM for this because Super Junior was the first to conquer the international world winning awards and breaking records but it was never promoted. So the public overlook SuJu in many aspect.
Thanks for putting it so succinctly 👍💙
I’m really glad that you said that ;; I don’t care if people kept saying _that_ group is the biggest in the kpop world and whatsoever. Even though it’s not. But they went as far as denying FACTS. You see, Super Junior came to Saudi Arabia in 2019. At that year, Saudi Arabia has just recently started allowing concerts at all. And Suju were the first kpop group to have a concert in Saudi Arabia. It was _in a tent!_ Big enough for maybe 2000 people. Sold out in a couple of hours. They made the best performance, made a lot of memories with us ELF, Heechul even said it reminded him of SS1 because of all the memories we made. It was not befitting legends like them, we honestly elf were mad at the organizers of the concert, but all anger went away after the beautiful beautiful memories we made and really a tent wasn’t bad at all since we felt the closest to them 🥺❤️ and they were as happy as us and gave their all in the performance. They performed at the level of any Super Show in a big stadium. Anyway, they accepted to perform even in a tent with stage that was just set up in the day they arrived. Not at all befitting for legends like them. Yet Leeteuk kept his promise to come to Saudi. A promise he made in 2009 when it was impossible for anyone to make a concert there cuz it was banned. But he came as soon as it was possible. They weren’t scared to come even though it was no doubt a new territory for them. They came to meet their fans first and also paved the way for other artists to come as they always do. They knew it’s their job and if they don’t come first no one else will. Stray kids also came, suju gave them a portion of their concert and they performed a few songs. But Suju did a whole Super Show. It was SS7s. They even adjusted some of their choreography so it is appropriate to perform in a conservative country. Like.. who does that?! T_T They’re just so amazing and really care for their fans. Any other group would just refuse to perform there if they were given restrictions and were asked to change there choreos, cuz it’s not easy. ANYWAY, A few months after, _that_ group came and performed in Saudi Arabia too. In a stadium. With 30,000 fans. And after that, EVERYONE kept saying that “bts is the first kpop group to perform a concert in Saudi Arabia”. EVERYONE. TV news, Newspapers, Tv shows, in both Saudi Arabia AND KOREA. Like SS7s never happened!! How DISRESPECTFUL! It’s so frustrating. I know for a fact that bts and any other group would have never come if suju hadn’t come first and made it possible for them. That made me upset for a while:( But I know suju don’t care because they know there’re legends. They know their worth and have nothing to prove to anyone. But yeah, Super Junior are obviously the true pioneers, and will always be. Kings. 💙
Can I say ... thank you for your information. SUJU were pictured in the stadium so ELF thought that was where the show would be. Many ELF had questions about why SJ were stopped/redirected (whatever) from having their SS7 in the stadium and ended up in the tent. We were all so 'hurt' to see our men like that but as you said, they love us and obviously cared enough to do their best .. as always. That is why we love and respect them.
Wow... I can't believe you just said something that others would never say in their reactions. Respect you for telling the truth! And yes, Superman used to be their opening song for Super Show.
😭😭😭
She's the BEST 👏👏👍
I respect her for her honestly and courage too!
suju's songs superman, the crown, and super are actually all connected to each other. if you read the lyrics...
superman:
"should i pluck the stars for you, count them one, two, three. with the stars we've lost we are thirteen stars. but we are not lonely. we have SM family and elf"
the crown:
"within the many stars scattered in the darkness, set the scene like a comet. the many stars that are stronger than ever"
super:
"the scattered stars finally find their places. turn the boring atmosphere around. time to steal your heart once again. the moment the blinding light overlaps, it blazes up and shine"
the stars represents the members 💙
What I really love about them is that they never lose sight of their beginnings. It keeps them grounded. And I truly love how they always credit the ones who came before them, the 1st generation of K-Pop such as H.O.T, Seckskies, Shinhwa, and the ones behind every success such as their staff and dancers. They maintained a healthy competition with their friends in the K-Pop industry like TVXQ, SNSD, BigBang, 2PM, 2AM and other 2nd generation groups. They also don't forget to support their hoobaes. Siwon has mentioned before they want the younger K-Pop groups to succeed for a long time, as SuJu has, because they know how difficult it is. By staying active together for almost 20 years, they hope that they can inspire their hoobaes, too. I think that by setting that example, E.L.F. have learned also to embrace or warm up to every group that SuJu interacts with.
Super Junior is pretty much loved by fans. since before debut To the point that fans protested, SM intervened many times when SJ was in trouble. Even bought some SM shares, bought it to negotiate the fans' dissatisfaction and fully protect SJ, and if Super Junior is in danger, the elf will immediately become a mother bear
I didn’t notice that tears were streaming down my face while you were talking about how SJ is a pioneer. you see, our fandom has been belittled, mocked and disregarded just because according to them we support the wrong group. No matter what others say we will always stand by Super Junior. We might have disagreements within the fandom and sometimes it gets a little overwhelming but at the end of the day we are more than Everlasting Friends. We are Everlasting Family.
Omg, your comment makes me 😭😭. Yess, we are Ever Lasting Family 💙💙💙
I am so touched with comments you left😭 yes, It was they that paved the road. I feel upset whenever the young say "go away, the old!". They don't know how tough time they have endured and made their "young" idols go easily. (Of course, they are still perfect Idols! How rude they are! So many fans in the world want to see them on the stage!!)
SJ deserves all the respect from millions of K-pop fans.(and SJ and we Elf are respecting for 1st gen. Idols who opened the road as well.)
I love all your comments. Thank you so much.
Yes, true 💙💙💙
"This are the people that made that possible"
Goosebumps!!!!
super junior is a unique group, they put sweat, tears and their heart for 15 years and counting, they were the first to bring kpop to latin america, france and the rest of asia, they always try to deliver the best if their fans, their concerts seem more private parties with elf than just singing on stage and everything is mixed with a touch of humor and fun
I have been in 2 sushow. I can compeletely agree with you. Its our party. Since its not an idol performance. Its they deliver and we accept. And both parties enjoy the moment together.
I am sorry … i mean 3 sushow? 🤣 miscounted since its been too long time ago 😭 i miss sushow so much
That's it! You just watched ELF's two initiation videos, you are now officially a certified ELF! Welcome to the cult! 😜😂
There is no turning back now, we just fall deeper and deeper into their trap! ☺😂
And yes, they are some of the most genuine, humble, funniest, craziest people on earth. That's not an exaggeration. These are the reasons why I fell in love with them. No cockiness at all, just pure love for each other, their craft and their fans. They don't treat their fans as fans but really as friends. How they interact with ELFs are truly just like a bunch of friends.
In the crown the lyrics "beyond being the first and becoming the best" are so powerfull because YES SJ are the kings of the hallyu wave. But they are not conformed with that, they want to be more than having the label of been the first and they are proving that with their amazing dedication.
Thanks to them and the bands of the 2 generation kpop is what it is today. And yeah honestly 1st and 2nd gen idols suffered a lot.
Suju are special. The amount of times they have bowed towards the audience. I have so much respect for them and what they have accomplished. They are humble and don't let the fame get to their head. Anyone that is willing to give them a chance ends up falling for them.
ruclips.net/video/-tlMMaHI7Zs/видео.html
Their full bow to audience looklike make some new idol surprise, then there was Leeteuk always bow to senior or junior, always say sorry for his member mistake, take responsibility for everything(heechul rant at strong heart).
"when you're very bored and surfing the internet, if you just type in super, our results will come out" is definetely my favourite lyrics from suju hahaha, cause they just spit the fact
I just tried ..it’s true..it’s fact 😅
When i first find this song, i also immediatelly try it, and it works 😂😂😂. They are not lying 🤭🤭
I just realized.. it's works.
Super Junior has been through a lot. I know I’ve repeated myself in a lot of various RUclips comments, but there really is no band or fandom that have as much mutual love for each other as much as Super Junior and ELF. There have been two devastating car crashes. One that almost cost the youngest his life and voice. We’ve seen members leave due to poor treatment from the company and/or toxic fans. Poor Leetuek has been through things no one should ever face and he’s always put his group and fans first and I just have so much respect and admiration for him as a human being let alone the best leader in kpop. I could go on but I’ll stop before I start getting too emotional and sentimental 😅. Again, thank you for your reaction!
One of the reasons I really love SuJu is that they are very humble people. They may joke about their fame and their greatness sometimes but they do stay grounded. Maybe it's because they fought with sweat, tears, and blood that they value their roots and are proud of where they come from and where they are now.
yes, both Superman and The Crown are opening songs for SS4 and SS8 respectively..
We somehow know that they're humble n professional in their work because a lot of people in the Korean entertainment industry (idols, celebrities, staff) say so, people older or younger than them. Though they can be chaotic n noisy but their own staff (managers, stylists, dancers) have been working with them for years, even decades. In some variety shows or their own vlogs you can see how they tease and treat their staff like their own fam. They are loved not only by Elf but also by people working for n with them.
Super junior didn't pave the way, they open the doors 💙💙💙 they are true Legendary Kings of Hallyu waves no matter what
Well said
Yes 🙌
Wow you finally found the song. SJ Superman's Cult
You finally found this Anthems. This 2 songs are very special for Super Junior and to Us - ELF.
Oh yes they are bunch of smart people with variety of skills thats why they have may different songs and genres but still have a touch of Super Junior Style song in it and they dare to try new things, like new genre and collaborations. Their up beat songs enjoyable to listen as well as their ballads.
true! super junior aren't called the kings of hallyu (korean) wave for nothing!!! 💙
each member had a wide evolution, they went from being the leftovers and test dolls of sm, to autonomous artists with their own sub-agency added to the fact that they can make decisions about when and how to make their comebacks, In addition to directing and planning their concerts, that stage in the form of 8 in the crown was designed by Eunhyuk, he was in charge of the supershow 8
Wasn't he also as chief concert director of SuperShow 7 and 7s?
@@q-noonkade4115 yeah too
@@q-noonkade4115 actually doesn’t he direct all of it?
@@yuhyi0122 I've read somewhere that since SS7, Eunhyuk has been the chief stage director & that he's been taking to learn (apprentice?) about it since SS4..cmiiw💙😉
I hope a lot of people would realise what you said just after SUPERMAN as it's clearly the truth.
To be honest, it’s my first time watching their live concert video. My heart feel like bursting..with love , with quiet pride , and jaw slack from amazement.
Welcome to the Blue World
"Have I just joined a cult?" 🤣 a must reaction while listening to Superman💙
What I will say about *that* group, is it's understandable to say they paved their own way to fame, but the way many of their fans spin the narrative to suggest they paved the way for all kpop idols is simply not true. Not even in the region people say they pioneered. They've paved some way that worked well for them, and that's fine. It's also fine that some groups are following that path as well hoping to achieve similar accolades, but there is only so far they can run with it.
Super Junior has true confidence. They aren't bothered by disrespect because they don't need to prove anything. They just do what they always do, and the haters fall behind. Superman and The Crown are the exceptions where they humbly brag about this fact.
When I first attended Super Show 8 (Super Show is the name of SuJu concert) when Superman was played. I feel like I can't breathe. It felt so surreal and dramatic hahaha well they aren't SuJu if they're not dramatic and passionate when it comes to performance, singing, and having fun. That's what they do best. Thank you for reacting to their videos and hope that you can also attend a Super Show, hopefully soon. Stay safe!
Thank you for openly talkin lik tat @ 6:25... Most people don't admit tat..
"With the stars we've lost we are thirteen stars"... that's one of the most powerful lines in that song. Just perfect!
I just discovered your channel with this video, and I have to say, all your thoughts made me so happy! I've been an ELF since 2009, (back when practically no one in the US knew what Kpop was LOL). I was in high school when I discovered them, and now I'm almost 30. I feel almost like I've grown up with them. LOL I've seen all the hardships they've gone through, so these songs always have so much meaning when I hear them. It was so nice hearing your lovely thoughts on the "paving the way" topic. Unfortunately, a lot of younger fans don't give the older groups the respect they deserve... (and I'm not referring to just SJ, but the 1st generation groups like Shinhwa and H.O.T.) I'm so happy that you reacted to these. These are some of my favs. They give me goosebumps every single time. ^-^ Thanks for reacting! (Now I have to go find your other vids! ^-^) Have a lovely day!
I saw a tweet from an ELf to those other toxic fandoms trying to put down Super Junior. Something about “before you start, remember that your idol ‘s idol is Super Junior and that Elf backed it up with screenshots of various new gen of kpop idols admitting in interview or variety shows that their fav is Super Junior or a member in Super Junior.
Another Elf tweeted “My Idol is your idol’s idol! “
What a clapback haha
SJ's national anthem is Sory Sory.
Wow, Superman's song is known as SJ's cult song😂
I just wanted to let you know that your comment/reaction in SUPERMAN made me cry. Thank you for acknowledging the experiences and things Super Junior had been through. They might not be the top 1 now but they definitely are one of the best out there and going strong for 17 years. Kings, Legends, Icons, Inspiration not just in Hallyu Wave but in all aspects. Again, thank you.
You have gone deeper in their musicality as a group/sub-unit/solo. Soon enough, you’ll be digging through years of variety & educational (😅) shows. Trust ELF, you won’t see the end of it all coz you’ll just find yourself repeating the same shows over and over. 😂
When you said something about pioneers it reminds me of their old song where they basically representing South Korea as a country, "Victory Korea" (for World Cup if I'm not wrong) and "Seoul" feat. SNSD (to boost tourism). Definitely should check them out 😁
..if you would like to see a "Hyper Yesung", then "Victory Korea" is a must see one.. again, i will bet my happiness if the MV will not make you love Yesung more.. hehehe.. 🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰
@@alou1367 I’ll try to watch it too, thanks!
I agree that it’s the passion for the performance and the music but also the brotherhood, (even separate from the relationship between them and ELF) Superman and The Crown I’ve learned kind of highlight that the brotherhood is what makes them stronger and helps the confidence on stage. It may come off as cockiness because it’s beyond the relationship with ELF but they can look to each other even in the middle of a song and be like “Hyung you good?”
Im so glad you said that about "that" group, because same. It was something that had to be said. 1st gen groups created kpop and set the foundations of what the genre would be and 2nd gen groups like tvxq, suju, shinee, big bang... helped shape it
I agree, I found k-pop from that newer group, I shazam-ed a song on an advert and it brought me into this whole other world I didn't know about. Luckily did my research though, it's SuJu over everyone for me. Everything they've been through over the years and they're now absolute legends. Incredible.
I love both of these songs, they're completely iconic, but The Crown is the one that gets me super pumped!
I'm hoping a member guide is to come by the way! 😊
Got scared the first time I listened to Superman too. This isnt a song they made for our playlists, its to show that they know that theyre on top of their game
The Last Man Standing! 💙😎👑 They've been through so much as a group and as individuals. Super Junior is their safe place. That's why they keep going.
This is why we all insisted you needed to hear these songs and reacts to these. These tell their story and it’s why we call them our anthems. We hear these songs and we are proud. Thank you so much for reacting to these!!
Couldn"t agree more to everything you have said about them... these guys are the pioneers, or named among the pioneers of Kpop.. coz we still have the 1st gen groups that opened the gate china, and BOA & TVXQ that opened the way to Japan, and SJ opened the gate to all countries.. and what I love about them is they always mentioned and acknowledged their respects to their seniors, which you know these acknowledgement rarely happens now a days.
Superman really hits different for ELF. Thank you for reacting and respecting their hard work. I'll now catch up watching your reactions to SJ...LoL
I won't blame you that I cried watching this reaction 🤧 You are accurate about the so called other group aint paving the way; especially-obviously not the pioneer (worry not; I highly respect them. just that... sadly things often time be kept distorted among the fans smh)
and to look back at the Crown lyrics; it is making me emotional. it is their acknowledgement of their own self and them as a unit - the dedication, the struggle and also the success story. that song is deserving to them. They are not cocky I dare say. it is them being them (one of the transparent group ever) doing what they like with people they love.
Thanks for the reaction. yeayy finally SJ anthem checked 💙💙💙
That's the exact point "they are just bettering their self" This is why they are such as an inspiration 💙
My first time watching Super Junior’s super show was the Super Junior’s Beyond Super Show last year on VLive . They opened with this song and i was just… no words could described how I felt. And yeah i also had that feeling you described..i just joined a cult.. except I couldn’t put into words 😅
I laughed at your comment 'have i just joined the cult' 🤣🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅😅
😂😂
Superman! SJ anthem 💙 ...Super Junior, the last man standing!!...
...and Yesung's adlibs!
Kudos to you Hurraira for being fully honest and open about your thoughts and opinions! Not everyone has the guts to speak it out like you did
agreed with every word you said 💙 there is no one like Super junior , and yes they were the ones opening the door for other groups.. Like they were the first on performing on most country .
* it's took them 10 years for all member to finish military service.
You are right unfortunately most of kpop stans think that kpop started with their favorite groups and starting making wars everywhere but kpop is known all around the world because of super junior and we have proofs 😌 voting, charts, streaming .....ect Was not important in that time (I'm talking about 2005 to 2010) but suju is the gate of this industry they present them as hallyu wave kings they were just phenomenal comparing them to 2nd Gen and if you are new kpoper I'm not waiting you to understand what I'm saying the group who spreaded Korean pop to the world is super junior hands up 😌
Yes finally!!!! My next recommendations are some rock songs,
- Mr. Simple + Bonamana Remix (SS7 live; rock ver.)
- Don't Don (a rock song released in 2007)
- Rockstar (SS5 Japan)
From the project group of the camp, the training period is 6-7 months, a group of people with diverse abilities come to practice together. Then it suddenly became a permanent group because of the fans. It's incredible, isn't it? they were born to be Super Junior born to be a legend
Facts. Everything you said in this video is 👏 FACTS 👏
Yesss, louder please 💙💙
Louder for those in the back 👏👏👏
Just came across your channel..... Thank you so much, i feel like crying!! That group xxx are not the pioneers. Anyone who's interested or know a bit of KPop history will know that SUPER JUNIOR aka SUJU/SJ are the real KPop pioneers of modern times. Hence, SUPER JUNIOR is known as the HALLYU KINGS as they actually started the HALLYU/KPop Wave!
you are correct that is the opening of the super show 4 with the anthem of suju and elf called "superman"
Love every word you have said here. Welcome to our Blue World. I feel like you've been here before you knew yourself. 😉💙
They do open SuShows with Superman. Although in SS8, they used The Crown and had Superman played before they started the concert.
As always, I am enjoying your reactions. 😊
The fact that I always get goosebumps everytime watching these two powerful song being played
Omg you’re so brave for saying what you’ve said, but well that’s just a fact… 🙌 imagine being like this since the tine where internet is scarce!
You are the first one who strongly say true words. That is the fact, SJ are pioneers. But there are not many people are doing stuff like you, can say. Respect and support.
To this day I can't listen to the song SUPERMAN without a BIG SMILE & TEARSTAINED FACE.
thank you for the reaction SUJU Superman song is a sacred song between SUJU & ELF, don't be bored to enjoy SUJU songs because there are many choices of songs approaching 800 titles, please choose what you like ELF will be happy to support anything related to SUJU💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
I think you are right when you said you are now part of the inner circle :P Sing the anthem and bow to the kings😁
THE LAST MAN STANDING
thanks for reacting to SJ. Superman and the crown are very special songs for SJ and ELF because they represent the challenges we have been through as a group and fandom. I respect the bravery you have in saying an honest opinion about a certain group with pretty crazy fans😅. really if in the future you have the opportunity to attend a Super Show, do not miss it It will be worth every penny ☺️👌
your video reminded of Yesung's amazing vocals in the crown.. I want to go and listen to the song..haha
Thank you for showing so much love to our SuperJunior 💙
i really like how objective you are with your reactions and commentaries. thank you for loving suju and appreciating them for their talents and the people that they are.
thats a mixed the crown performance. huhuhu i love my babies so much. 💙💙💙🥺😍
Love your reaction videos as usual :) Your videos made me feel like listening to a friend and learning more about the bands together in an open-minded, calm, and mature manner. It's nice that you also talk about how your perception or opinions on certain things changed the more you learn about the bands as it is a good reminder that what we see from these talented and hard-working artists are only one side of their talents and who they are. I felt that many Kpop fans are often stuck with the (often unrealistic) specific 'image' of the idols which actually render these idols' ability to challenge themselves and grow as an artist. For Super Junior, it might have been a blessing that they started off as project group since people and SM had no expectation for them which allow them to be able to cultivate very fluid image of themselves and their band compare to the typical bands whose image were already carefully planned and set before debut which can be very hard to change.
I love the way you said the truth, the fact after you watched SuperMan. That really touch me, not many people can say that. Appreciate, will follow your channel.
Thank you, Hurraira. I have chills everytime I hear both Superman & The Crown. I love the vibes from both songs. Can't wait for your Ahora Te Puedes Marchar reaction💙
Superman and The Crown always make my soul burn. The lyric, music and performance so dramatic.
Another vibe music you must watch is
-Shirt (please react the video from music show, not the concert)
- somebody new (mv+live)
- runaway
Can't wait to the next suju reaction!
Thank you for your reaction!!!
Amazing songs!!! Strong and important message!!!
I have never been to their concerts but these openings put me to trans…. it must be fantastic experience to be there live!!!
💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙
You should check out Ryeowook's ( A medley songs about "Night&Star" ) video where he runs through the Youth of May OST he did in 2021 and Yesung's Beautiful night cover as well as a collection of other songs of his cause for a lack of a better word, it's amazing lol
Thank you sooo much for ur reaction, i'm so in love 😍😭 this song makes me proud as an elf for 11 years 💙
Gracias mil por apreciar a nuestro reyes
Thank you so much for this... I"m one of those who requested for these two songs. Hoping also for Rokkugo live performance (also its hip-hop version SS8 Japan) and Eunhyuk's SS6 Dear Two.
Thank u again..I really love your reaction videos 👍💙
from ss6 eunhyuk and shindong directed the concerts themselvs. proud elf
I can't say I like Kpop because I only listen to 2 groups/bands (Suju and CNBLUE). After finding them, I thought: Ok, maybe I'm ready to listen to 'that group' and see what all the people see/feel, I have tried several times through different approaches (mv, interviews, concerts) and it is impossible to find in them the level of charisma, power and confidence of Suju.💙
Music is really the universal language. We always say superman is the song to call everyone to join the cult in Mandarin. lol
Rewatching this, and everytime I watch superman and the crown makes me proud being an ELF, proud of Super Junior. Thank you for your reactions, I love it
🤗 hugs Hurraira. Thanks 😭 so touched by your words 💙💙💙💙
Always goosebumps everytime i watch superman and the crown ...i love super junior
Amazing reaction and amazing choices i love it, you know the superman is an anthem of SJ and ELF it's still gives me a goosebump، Thank you for appreciating Super Junior's music and their hard work to be at this level of professionalism, yes they are very humble appreciating and respect their seniors and this is the power of super junior
One thing you get when you love SUJU, youre life will never be boring ☺️
YES, you just joined Super Junior Cult, and can't go out anymore
It has been a joy to watch your journey into Super Junior. I look at your channel every day to see if you have done any others. It is a 'hole' you just do not want to climb out of. They have filled a void in my life and have for many other ELF as well.
As you said, they are truly one of a kind. Not many people would be 'up front' and acknowledge them as who they truly are. Thank you so much for such honesty.
I swear, whenever I finally get to see Superman live.... I am definitely going to p*ss my pants...
ok i just cried listening to your comments
" I just joined a cult " 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍
Yup! So true..it makes me feel so proud too! There r times that Iget emotional when I see this esl reading d lyrics too . There r few othr grls older than them & around their age that r still standing strong but to d wide range of shccess in d whole entertainment industry..they r kn top..+ d consistency & all throughout all these yrs. & yes, solo, sub-units & collabs included .. I akwys listen in shuffle so every tym these songs r on, they make me fele so empowered & encouraged. Very doff kind of songs but I'm in luv w/ them jst as much w/ d othr types..esp when u watch d live..haha..yes, girl! They r d pioneers to soreading kpop in d world, thru them kpop reached d other side lf d world..no one ckuld deny that, d grp u'r refering maybe d most popular today but they jst continued what these supermen started... & d times & techonology is w/ them, so it's a bit easier to b known..unlike going back 10+ yrs ago..imagine how great it isbto b known worldwide w/ such limited opportunities . D same reason y I sometimes feel so sad when ppl keep ongiving recognition to younger grps esp d rth gen ones w/out knowing SJ & othr grps lyk ij 1st & 2nd gens who had to go thru a lot more jst to succeed in xtra circumstances given d tym.. That's y i really appreciate those who give honor to their sunbaes a lot coz to b honest, they r reaping too what their sunbaes sowed in d earlier yrs.. Thank u so much! Girl, u have to see d giide nxt pls..it's jst about d tym & nxt is d weeklt idol 2020 episodes .it's best to briefly show who they r indvdually & as a grp in d past & present.. Btw, both prformances r openings to SS4 & SS8 concerts, respectively.. Tc!
Its so humbling to hear your reaction and comment to my love Suju. Thank you so much!💙💙💙
You are 100% very correct that that certain group are not the first to make kpop very well known around the world. Sure they are very popular now because they are young but Super Junior and other 2nd generation groups made kpop well known not only in Asia but around the world
I love Super Junior because they are so real.
when you enter the fandom, you can never go out anymore. so proud of suju.
Can’t help but keep coming back here
😘💙🥰
Yes, you're right, they're not hungry for money. not hungry for fame They've all reached the top of their careers. They just do it because the elf is still there. They made it fun and happy with the members as long as the elf was there. They will continue to sing and dance on stage.
That's hot tea hurraira lol i enjoyed it ^^
