ELFs in Vietnam are staggered by tickets of MTV EXIT's Super Junior Concert

Since MTV EXIT announced their concert'll have Suju, E.L.Fs in Vietnam ( V-E.L.F for short) have hunted for concert tickets. Since concert tickets is free and there's a limited number of tickets (about 30,000 tickets). So each of V-E.L.Fs always try on best to become a lucky fan has one ticket.

As recently as some days ago, Internet had a rumour: " MTV EXIT'll distribute 5,000 free tickets of MTV EXIT concert to fans in My Dinh stadium ( where concert'll take place) on March 23, 2010" that is spreaded so fast.

A large amount of Suju's fan gather together early in the morning in My Dinh stadium on March 23 with hope of getting concert ticket. They shouted clamorously incessantly: "Super Junior! Super Junior!" . Atmosphere in there was very animotion. Even, Suju's fans who don't live in Ha Noi, depended on their close for the getting ticket. A number of fans have hired people to get ticket, because they was busy for learning at that time.

The end, that rumour is not really. Nothing to distribute in there at time. Representative of MTV EXIT didn't assert to have any official announcement of that news. They just said "may be"

Due to grasp of information was not exact and believe in fasle report so Suju's fans who were in My Dinh stadium, came home with their disappointment.

MTV EXIT said:" We issue tickets at the latest on March 23, 2010

Super Junior puts on a Super Show in Malaysia

Super Junior has finally performed in Malaysia.

On the 20th, Super Junior held their 2nd Asia Tour Super Show 2 in Malaysia. The concert came up to around three hours in total and was attended by nearly 15,000 fans.

Super Junior performed their hits, Sorry Sorry, U, Happy and many more. They also put on special performances such as solo stages, sub-group stages, a performance of Gee and Chu~♡ and more. Even Super Junior-M’s Henry was there to perform his self-written song, Sick of Love.

Leader Leeteuk said at the press conference before the concert, “Super Junior’s concerts are special because the fans are closest to the artists than at any other concerts.” That’s quite a treat for the fans.

Super Junior has performed in Seoul, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, Nanjing, Taipei and now Malaysia. They have performed 15 shows in all and will finish off on April 10th in the Philippines.

f(x) Interview with Thai Media

On March 18, 2010 at 5:40PM at the GMM Grammy Place Bangkok building. The idol f(x) (Victoria, Krystal, Sulli, Luna and Amber) artist from Korea, cross the sky to participate at the Pattaya International Music Festival 2010. Today they have open a friendly interview with the Thai media.

Introduction:
Victoria : Hello I'm Victoria
Amber : Hello I'm Amber
Krystal : Hello I'm Krystal
Sulli : Hello I'm Sulli
Luna : Hello I'm Luna
(note: they may have said hello in Thai which is sawadee ka)

What is your latest work:
Krystal : Right now we are work on our new album, but we don't know when the comeback will be yet. We are working really hard and we would like you to keep following us (watch out for us.)

Is this your fist time in Thailand? How do you guys feel about Thailand?
Luna:This is f(x) first time in Thailand. Krystal came when she was really young with her family so she can't really remember anything. Even thought this is our first time in Thailand, but our fans here warmly welcome us. Before we came we search on the net to check out how Thailand is. We think that Thailand is a beautiful country. The weather here is warm. We really like it.

How did you guys prepare for the Pattaya festival?
Sulli:When we heard that we are going to Pattaya we were really excited. We tried to study some Thai words, such as sawadee ka (hello) and kub khun (thank you.)

Right now there are a lot of girl band and boy band. What make you different or what is your charms?
Luna : f(x) is a band that have a lot of power. We have members with different ethnicity as well not just Korean. When we visit other countries we can speak other languages, such as Chinese and English. Each one of us have different power and talents, which in turn when we stand on the same stage we have something special. We want to be an Asian group. Please support us.

How is the fans response for your first time in Thailand?
Luna : Even thought this is our first time in Thailand our fans have welcome us warmly. This make us want to work even harder at this event.

Please say something in Thai.

SHINee's Onew's Musical 'The Brothers Were Brave' CF

Super Junior’s Hangeng to join eeMedia Entertainment in China?

If Han Geng joins eeMedia, he might work opposite Meteor Shower actress Zheng Shuang.

In last week’s interview, ex-Super Junior member Han Geng said that he’s confident of ending the contract with SM, but didn’t say what will happen to him. Yesterday, famed anonymous blogger “wumeishi” revealed that “Han Geng signed with eeMedia before Chinese New Year’s. The company will spend millions to create a special group called SD5 for him. The new group will be revealed in April. Han Geng, SD5 and Li Yuchun’s film contracts will all be under Long Danni’s Shenshi Film (Shine Show).”

In response, eeMedia representative said that “Our company has had good relationships with Han Geng, but we can’t say anything about any contracts.”

It’s wellknown that Han Geng’s good friends with Hunan TV hosts He Jiong, who’s been helping Han Geng and SJ in China a lot. “wumeishi” claims that after Han Geng left, Hunan TV and eeMedia (both are part of the same overall company- Golden Eagle/Hunan Broadcasting Systems) decided to sign Han Geng. To allow him to be able to expand in all areas, Han Geng will receive a contract with the newly formed Shengshi Film along with Li Yuchun.

While “wumeishi” is known for making true statements half of the time, this makes sense. Han Geng has had excellent relationships with Hunan TV. Hunan TV provided opportunities for Han Geng and SJM to go on almost of its best shows – Happy Camp, A Date with Luyu, Behind the Story, etc. And Han Geng’s image fits with eeMedia’s crow of young, good-looking Super Boys and Girls. By signing with eeMedia, Hunan TV will receive viewership from Han Geng fans, and Han Geng will receive some of the best promotions possible in China.

Signing with Shengshi Film, another Golden Eagle/Hunan Broadcasting Systems subsidiary, will also make sense for both parties. Han Geng has shown the penchant for acting in his CCTV drama, and Shengshi Films has the money to spend on new film and TV projects and expensive actors. Plus, it would make Shengshi CEO Long Danni, who is also the head manager of eeMedia, have a lot more easy of a time managing both.
A partnership with eeMedia and Shengshi would definitely benefit both Han Geng and the companies. But then, it could be that eeMedia will spend all of its money and resources on Han Geng and won’t be able to support its new ship of Super Boys this year).
