An Amazing 2012 Asia Super Showcase

On Dec 11, 2012 Malaysia was once again visited by K-pop’s hottest MEN! Super Junior-M, EXO-M and BTOB performed at the Kenanga Wholesale City to a whopping 8000 fans!

Clockwise: Super Junior-M, EXO-M, and BTOB

The show started with a performance by one of the best rookie groups of 2012: Born to Beat or better known as BTOB.  They sang Born to Beat, Irresistible Lips, Imagine, One Thing I Know, My Girl, Insane and Wow!  Despite a glitch in the sound system, and the hot and humid weather, the guys still gave their 110%.

During a short question and answer session, BTOB were asked their thoughts about Malaysia, and Peniel (who answered in perfect English as he was born and raised in Chicago) thrilled the crowd by saying how beautiful Malaysia and the people are.

Then 3 Malaysian Melodies (BTOB fans) were invited on stage to do the “Kiyoumi Counting” along with rapper Ilhoon.  The girls looked happy and stunned as they were given hugs and handshakes by all the BTOB members. Many in the audience were green with envy.

After that, EXO-M appeared on stage decked in black and white outfits. EXO-M is the Chinese sub group of EXO.  They performed History, What Is Love, Angel and MAMA.  They too did not disappoint the fans, who were screaming and singing along to all of the songs.

After EXO-M ended their performance with a powerful rendition of MAMA, Super Junior-M came on stage, garnering loud screams from the audience.

They kicked things off with Super Girl and At Least I Still Have You before stopping for a short Q&A.  They introduced themselves and mentioned how happy they were to be back in Malaysia again as they missed the fans here.

Fans were happy but a little bit disappointed because Siwon was did not come. He was busy shooting “The King of Dramas“. However, they were surprised when Siwon appeared on screen – he had pre-recorded a video message for the fans!  He hoped that the fans will always support Super Junior-M.

Super Junior-M then continued with Love Doesn’t Come Alone and Lost before stopping for another Q&A session.  This time, they were shown pictures of Malaysian local fruits and were asked to name them.  They managed to answer a few correctly with the help of the fans :).  Apart from that, Donghae also teased the fans with a brief dance routine for their upcoming song…and boy, it sure is something to look forward to.

The guys then performed Destiny and closed the show with Too Perfect.  The group’s fan service was really fantastic — they were running around on stage and taking pictures with fans. But as the saying goes, all good things must come to an end — until the next Asia Super Showcase, that is…and we hear that it is happening soon ;).
