Touted as the concert of the year, the highly anticipated SMTOWN Live World Tour III in Singapore proved to be a record-breaking feat. Last night, the first ever commercial concert to be held at the Floating Platform kicked off to a 24,000-strong crowd.

With a total production value of more than S$5 million, and a stage set-up which took 96 hours to complete, the concert which featured some of the biggest names in K-pop proved to be nothing short of spectacular, as expected of SM Entertainment’s standard.

The popularity of KangTa, BoA, TVXQ, Super Junior, Girls’ Generation, SHINee, f(x) and EXO are unmistakable as it was earlier reported that the queue for the free-standing moshpits began as early as one week before the concert, and the fans did not go home disappointed.

Though one of the big screens failed to work halfway through the concert and never did recover, and though the lightings seemed mismanaged during certain songs such as Super Junior’s Superman, it is the artistes’ energy and dedication to their craft that made up for everything that was lacking technical-wise.

Pyrotechnics such as laser lights, revolving stages, water elements and mobile carts that carried the artistes around the huge concert venue have always been the highlight of SM Entertainment’s concerts. Combined performances by artistes from different groups like the Dance Battle are a hit with the fans as usual. It was a sight to behold, as the lightsicks of different colours (representing different fan clubs) filled the venue in neon rainbow shades.

Just as the idols were thankful for the downpour which subsided before the show, it started raining heavily towards the last six songs of the concert. The artistes were drenched but they still tried their best to sing and dance on the slippery stage, and the fans were soaked to the knees despite their ponchos but few chose to leave.

It was one touching moment as all the artistes came on stage for the finale song Hope, when the rain suddenly became a drizzle and eventually came to a halt, and the die-hard fans were rewarded with plenty of fan-service and splendid fireworks display.

Rain or shine an event it was, with the artistes giving their all and the fans giving their support to their idols until the very end of the concert.

SM Entertainment’s ‘SMTown Live World Tour III’ concert dazzles thousands of K-Pop fans in Jakarta, Indonesia!

On September 22nd, ‘SMTown Live World Tour III in Jakarta’ took place at the Bung Karno main stadium in Senayan, Central Jakarta, Indonesia. Super Junior, Girls’ Generation, TVXQ as well as other SM groups and soloists, dazzled thousands of concertgoers with their energetic performances.

Prior to the show, a major press conference was held, and reporters from 93 local medias appeared to interview the SMTOWN stars, and indicated the global brand power of SM. The reason for such an explosive reaction is because it was the largest K-pop concert in Indonesia, and it was the first SMTOWN LIVE show in Jakarta.

During the concert, TVXQ’s Changmin and Kyu Hyun invited an audience up on the stage to sing a beautiful serenade “Just the Way You Are”, and envoked envy from female fans as they hugged an Indonesian girl on the elevated stage.

The audiences also enjoyed the concert with great enthusiasm, and it is said that they sang a birthday song for Girls’ Generation’s HyoYeon and SHINee’s Key.

The K-pop stars wrapped up the four-hour concert with the anthem “Hope”, which was followed by an orchestra of fireworks, colorful lighting and hundreds of floating baloons.

Some artists represented by SM recently admitted ever regretting being a member of their successful agency.

The answers are f(X)’s Sulli, Krystal, SNSD’s Hyoyeon, and Kangta.

On April 30, the showcase for the movie I AM was held at the CGV Youngdeungpo, in Youngdeungpo, Seoul.

SM’s artists were faced to answer this question: “Have you ever regretted being represented by SM Entertainment.”

f(X)’s “Giant Baby”revealed, “I became a trainee when I was in fifth year in an elementary school, and started loving in a dorm. My family lived in Pusan, so I couldn’t visit my family often, and missed my mom so badly.”

Another f(X) member Krystal revealed, “I didn’t like living in a dorm and being not allowed enough free time.”

SNSD’s dancing queen Hyoyeon gave a similar reason to Sulli’s. “I felt similar to what Sulli felt. For me, commuting from home to work took 3~4 hours. It was pretty hard as I was little.”

I AM is a biographical film featuring SM Town’s artists and their years of efforts and behind stories in the process of becoming world-famous stars—the first Asian singers going on the stage at New York Madison Square Garden, the center of pop. The high-profile movie is out on May 10.

SM Entertainment‘s new documentary film “I AM,” featuring the lives of artists like Kangta, BoA, DBSK,Super Junior, Girls Generation, SHINee, and f(x), cancelled its press premiere scheduled on April 30 without further notice. “I AM” was supposed to have its first premiere event for media and sponsoring companies on April 30 at 4pm.

The PR representative of “I AM” explained, “We’ve had a long and serious meeting regarding the quality of the movie last night until 11pm. All important officials from the distribution company CJ Entertainment, SME, and the director of the movie Choi Jin Sung got together and have concluded that we could make it better.” This representative added, “The biggest reason of the cancellation of today’s movie premiere is data error. We decided to cancel the scheduled premiere, because we wanted to reveal the movie when it is perfect.”

Although the press premiere of “I AM” has been cancelled, the showcase featuring SME’s artists will still continue at 7pm on April 30. The film “I AM” will be in theaters on May 10.
