Super Junior successfully concluded their “Super Show Spin-Off: Halftime” tour with a captivating performance in Jakarta. The group had previously visited Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh, Singapore, Taipei, Kuala Lumpur, and Hong Kong.

Returning to Jakarta after a two-year hiatus since their “Super Show 9” concert, Super Junior performed at the Beach City International Stadium, Ancol, North Jakarta, on Saturday, September 14, 2024. This venue held a special significance as it was the venue of their first Indonesian concert, “Super Show 4,” in 2012.

As always, Super Junior was met with an enthusiastic welcome from Indonesian ELF, who came from all over the country. Fans were united in their signature Sapphire Blue attire, creating a sea of blue at the stadium.

The iconic second-generation boy group delivered a memorable performance, treating fans to a nostalgic journey through their extensive discography. The setlist included fan favorites like “Super Show,” “Wonder Boy,” and “Dancing Out.”

The members greeted the audience in Indonesian, further endearing themselves to the fans. Donghae said, “How are you? My name is Dimas,” while Siwon asked, “Do you miss me? I miss you too. I’m Mas Agus!” Leeteuk added with excitement, “I love Indonesia, my name is Kadirrrr.”

Super Junior also showed their special unit performances, including LED, SKY, and SR, and delivered solo songs by Kyuhyun, Ryewook, and Yesung in a group arrangement. The group further excited the crowd with covers of songs by fifth-generation groups, such as RIIZE’s “Get A Guitar” and NewJeans’ “Hype Boy.”

The group exclusively performed “SPY” and “Opera” during the “Super Show Spin-Off: Halftime” tour, further treating fans to a unique experience. The encore featured remixes of fan favorites like “A Man in Love” and “Sorry Sorry.”

After an electrifying performance of 21 songs, Super Junior promised to return to Indonesia for a grand celebration of their 20th anniversary. Leeteuk concluded the show by saying, “Thank you, Indonesia. I love you. We will come back for Super Junior’s 20th anniversary.”

With their captivating performance and heartfelt promises, Super Junior once again proved why they are one of the most beloved K-pop groups in the world.
