Super Junior, The 1st ASIA TOUR - "Super Show" is the 2008 Asia-wide live concert tour by the Korean boy band Super Junior. The tour comes five months after the release of the group's second studio album, Don't Don.[1] The concert covers most songs from the group's previous two albums, including their hit single, "U," and also subgroup hits from Super Junior-K.R.Y. and Super Junior-T. The tour kicked off from South Korea and will expand its route to Thailand, Taiwan, China, Malaysia, Japan, and other Asian countries.

[edit] History

The "Super Show" is the first Asia-wide concert tour by Super Junior since their debut in 2005. The tour was first announced in January, four months after the release of their second studio album, Don't Don.[1] 13,000 tickets for the concert in Seoul were placed for auction online on January 22, 2008. As soon as the auction began at 5:00 PM, over 120,000 fans simultaneously loaded onto the site and crashed the server. As soon as the server was back in commission, all 13,000 tickets were sold out in 18 minutes.[2] A second ticket auction occurred on January 28, 2008 at 8:00 PM for the remaining seats and was just as successful.[3] The organizers decided to add an extra show on February 22, 2008 due to the success of the sales.[4] Tickets for the concert on February 22 were all sold out in five minutes.[5]

Five months after the first stop in Seoul, it was annnounced in early May that the tour's second stop will be at Amphoe Pak Kret, Nonthaburi Province, a part of the Bangkok Metropolitan Area in Thailand, on July 12, 2008 in the 12,000-seat Impact Arena. Like the previous concert in Seoul, the tickets were sold out quickly.

The tour's live concert album was released on May 19, 2008 in South Korea.
