[Revealing the 9th album! SUPER JUNIOR's concert D-DAY]
[While the fans wait outside the arena]
[SJ members enter the arena for rehearsals]
Everyone looks very well today.
- I can't believe we're doing the concert today. - Right?
I feel like it was over yesterday.
I keep thinking it's tomorrow.
It's surreal, huh?
- We'll begin the rehearsal now. - Yes!
[Opening the show with a new song]
[The opening stage of "SUPER SHOW 8"]
[Rehearsals are focused on the new songs since they're introducing the 9th album for the first time]
[EunHyuk's dance solo]
[The other members are closely monitoring his performance]
[They also make sure that they utilize the cinematography well]
[New songs in their 9th album] [SJ wraps up the 1st round of rehearsal with the last song]
YeSung, in the second verse...
...don't do "like you" here.
Move to this point as you sing, and then move along.
- Let's do "I Think I" one more time. - "I Think I" one more time?
- OK. - Understood.
[Checking the choreography one more time]
[EunHyuk leads the rehearsals]
I am the executive director of SUPER SHOW 8.
The title of our 9th album is "Time_Slip".
And I wanted this concert to tell a story coherent with our new album.
So the theme of this concert is "INFINITE TIME".
It means that we want to walk an infinite path for an infinite amount of time
with our fans who've patiently waited for our comeback.
[Vivid images] We've added special video clips here and there,
[8-shaped stage] designed our stage,
[Shooting from above for a better view] and even installed high-angle cameras,
to make sure we convey that message right.
We've also researched which songs our fans like the most.
Based on that, we prepared some original performances,
and rearranged some songs, too.
[All the details for the fans] It seems that our fans really like some of our slow songs.
So we have those ready as well.
There are so many things I want to talk about as the executive director.
[SUPER JUNIOR worked so hard on SUPER SHOW 8]
[directed by EunHyuk under the theme of "INFINITE TIME"]
[Please stay tuned!]
[1 hour before the show]
[EunHyuk is doing the final checkup]
[Demonstrating]
[It's YeSung's turn to be monitored]
They're focusing on the parts they felt a little iffy about during rehearsals]
[EunHyuk kindly demonstrates the choreo]
[So focused]
[OK. I got it!]
[DongHae is practicing by himself behind the two]
I caught a cold (so I don't feel well now).
You can tell that my nose is all clogged up, right?
[I'm in trouble]
It's been about 4 days now,
and thankfully, I feel the best today.
When we were doing SUPER SHOW 4,
my eyes were so swollen because of a sty.
So I had to wear sunglasses.
[It was all because of the sty]
It's like a jinx. I'm always sick during the concert.
I hope everything goes well.
SJ members do a lot of individual work now.
And I noticed something different this time.
Look at this.
[Loads of vitamins and medicines]
We have all these vitamins, medicines, and patches prepared.
We make sure we don't run out of them
and always take vitamins before we practice.
This is a vitamin.
It's from Germany.
I didn't take this.
You shouldn't rely so much on drugs.
[What else can I do?] A lot of our members are not feeling well.
I realized that KyuHyun was still young because
he was drinking the whole week we practiced for the concert.
[Caught off guard]
- Only for two days! - He is something else.
KyuHyun is still healthy.
I was born in 1988.
[Oh...] That's why you're so healthy...
[The elder members take their medicines] [bronchial tube medicine] You've got the Hodori power of 1988.
[Looking for something] KyuHyun always makes fun of me.
[Vitamins]
- You just told me not to rely on drugs! - But krill oil's good for you.
[Whatever!] What's the difference?!
This is supposed to help blood circulation.
[It turns out that the youngest one also does need vitamins]
- Bring me one. - What?
[Share some with me] - Krill oil? - Krill oil.
[Eyes on the krill oil]
[I'm being generous since you're the leader]
Thanks.
This is expensive.
- Don't drink that. Drink ShinDong's. - No.
[That reminds me of the "Dong Americano"] No, I have my own.
Why do you carry his water in your bag?
- He left it behind so I picked it up for him. - Good job.
[Good job] It's good that we have each other's back.
[All ready for the stage now]
- Hello. - Yo! NCT!
[NCT is here to watch the concert]
[MAX of TVXQ drops by to say hi as well]
[Many other celebrities are rooting for SJ] - SEVENTEEN sent us flowers. - Did you see them?
[Families are here to support as well] There's a camera behind you.
[SiWon's niece] [Niece love] - Say hello! - Hi!
[The concert begins with everyone's support] - Bye! - Bye, uncle SiWon! Break a leg!
- How many minutes left? - 30 minutes to go!
Let's all gather around after we're done putting on our mics.
[Everyone's doing their final checkup before the show]
[Fans begin to fill up the arena]
[The place is packed]
- Listen up as you get ready. - OK.
[Director EunHyuk's last briefing] After the opening, we get on the LED box.
As soon as we get down and step away,
[Preventing any potential accidents...] the LED box will start to go up.
[by checking the movement one last time] So please be careful, OK?
We change, move to the center stage, and perform "Heads Up".
- "Heads Up"... - That's the toughest part.
After "Heads Up"...
Will they play "Sexy, Free & Single" after we are in our position or right away?
I'll tell the staff to play it after we're all in our position.
I'm not done. Everyone, gather up!
I've prepared something for today.
