Think of the work required to make just one Justin Bieber. The production, the management, the vocal training, the choreography, the swagger coaching — all that effort to create one teen-pop star in a country that’s still starving for them. South Korea has no such drought, thanks to several companies that specialize in manufacturing a steady stream of teenage idols, in groups of various configurations. One of the longest-running of these companies is SM Entertainment, which on Sunday night hosted SM Town Live, a sold-out showcase at Madison Square Garden for several of its acts, any one of which any American reality-TV talent show or major-label A&R department worth its salt would be thrilled to have discovered.

KPOP on New York Times.

This is so wonderful, I can't even.

And yes, that's Super Junior there in the picture - appearing in the site for the whole write-up.

That's a simple thing.

But it means a lot to me.

There were 11 Super Junior songs performed at SM Town New York.

But this just got me on my knees.

It wasn't the first time I heard this of course.

It wasn't the first time I saw them perform this - on video.

But it feels like heaven graced me with its presence because of the immaculate voices of these three supreme angels.

Geez.

KRY's harmony is undeniably surreal.

Like you'll think where they're getting those voices and techniques from.

And meehee... I love Wookie on that old rose suit. <3

난 사랑이란걸 믿지 않았어 너는 마치 마법처럼 내 안에 들어왔어 my boo

이제는 사랑에 빠져버린 바보

전부 너 때문일걸 It’s you

멈추지 않는 시계처럼 널 사랑하겠다고

혹시라도 가끔 우리 사랑이 조금 슬프고 너를 지킬게 my love

때론 지치거나 힘들어보일때도 있어 영원히 사랑해

하지만 절대 내 손 놓치 말아 언제나 널 지켜줄 내가 있어………
