Tickets for Super Juniors Seoul Concert sold out in 18 Minutes!!

Tickets to Super Junior’s “The 1st ASIA Tour-‘Super Show’” Seoul concerts were sold-out in 18 minutes! However, it was not a smooth ride for fans when they purchased the tickets because there was a moment when the server was down.

Last January 20, at 5 pm, the ticket sale opened at Auction Ticket and at that time, more than 120,000 people were connected simultaneously in the site, which the server was not able to handle. After the server was restored, all of the 13,000 seats were sold-out in 18 minutes.

“We’re glad to hear the news that the tickets were sold-out. We’re going to repay the fans’ support by preparing hard for the concert and presenting the best performances,” the group said.

The tour will start in the Seoul Olympic Fencing Stadium on February 23 and 24 and will continue to other cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Bangkok, Taipei and Kuala Lumpur, totaling to 9. The concert tour will have a total of 10 performances.

Super Junior (Korean: 슈퍼주니어), also known as simply SJ or SuJu (Korean: 슈쥬), is a thirteen-member South Korean boy band formed by SM Entertainment in 2005, masterminded by Lee Soo Man. The group initially debuted with twelve members on November 6, 2005 with the single, "TWINS (Knock Out)". The original twelve members, from oldest to youngest, are Leeteuk (the leader), Heechul, Han Geng, Yesung, Kang-In, Shindong, Sungmin, Eunhyuk, Donghae, Siwon, Ryeowook, and Kibum. The Chinese member, Han Geng, was chosen among the 3,000 applicants through auditions held in China by SM Entertainment in 2001.

Many of the members had already pursued an entertainment career before Super Junior's debut through acting, DJ-ing, and modeling. On May 23, 2006 SM Entertainment announced the addition of a new member, Kyuhyun, making them the thirteen-member group they are today.
