Check out the full blog post below:

[Professor Hong Jong Hwa’s blog entry at 24 Dec 2011, 4.25am] Phew~ I’ve completed the SM Special Concert composition that I’m in charge of, and now I’m with SM singers at the last overnight practice and orchestra accompaniment practice~ It will be broadcasted live on 29th’s SBS Gayo Daejeon~^^ (for now, the broadcast starts around 9 o’clock but at around 10.50~11.00 (Gayo Daejeon part 2), it will be broadcasted as ‘SM Orchestra’ or ‘SM Special Performance’)

It will start with Super Junior M – Henry’s violin, while the Orchestra concerto is going on, SNSD – Seohyun (Piano), Tiffany (Flute), Super Junior – Kyuhyun (Harmonica). Trax – Jungmo (Guitar), f(x) – Victoria (Guitar)..then comes SoShi’s Vocal, SHINee, etc… It ends with the appearance of all SM Artistes~ Rookie group EXO will also be featured live.^^ (t/n: not sure whether the EXO ‘live’ refers to them singing live or just EXO appearing on the live broadcast)

It was originally made to be a composition of around 20 minutes (10 Suites) but because it is a broadcast, it was cut short to around 9 minutes long. There’s a plan to separately show the full version, through music video and performance, as ‘SM Concert’~ (It will also be broadcasted worldwirde through Youtube^^)

SM Entertainment artist Zhang Liyin surprised her fans today after one of her Weibo updates revealed that she just finished recording for SM Entertainment’s Christmas album. On the 11th of November, Zhang Liyin updated her personal account for Weibo, a social networking site in China, with details of her recent activities.

On the said update she revealed that, “Christmas is coming soon. Just finished recording SM Christmas album. Now relaxing my mood, (with) a cup of hot coffee.” A photo of Zhang Liyin with a cup of coffee was also included in the update.

SHINee, the Icon of KPOP Wave in Europe, Proved Tremendous Popularity in London!

SHINee Shut Down the Britain’s Largest Theater Chain’s Server!

Britain’s Largest Theater Chain’s Reservation System Went Down Just 1 minute After the Ticket Sales Began!

Tickets for Opening Gala Concert of the 6th London Korean Film Festival, ‘SHINee in London,’ are all Sold out!

SHINee, the Icon of KPOP Wave in Europe, Proved Tremendous Popularity in London! 

SHINee proved their tremendous popularity once again by crashing the Britain’s largest theater chain’s reservation system server.

SHINee will hold this gala concert after they are invited to ‘The 6th London Korean Film Festival’ and SHINee is the first Korean idol to hold a solo concert in London.

In fact, SHINee has already performed in AbbeyRoadStudios (famous for studio of Beatles) in June as the first Asian artist, but it was intended for media and music officials and held in private. However, since this performance is the first solo gala concert in London, which is open to fans, competition for tickets was expected.

Actually, as soon as ticket sales began for this concert on the 27th, Odeon’s reservation system, the Britain’s largest theater chain, went down for 5 hours because it was overwhelmed by the thousands of fans who were trying to buy tickets.

Therefore, not only the reservation for SHINee’s concert but also reservation for other movie tickets of hundreds of theaters in Britain was unavailable. Fans made reservation through phone calls or visited the theater to get the tickets after waiting for long lines. Local audiences, who wanted to buy other tickets, unusually reserved them by phone or purchased on site.

Odeon said “It’s our first time to make server down by ticket booking. We never expect this much of people coming in all at once,” and it is said that for SHINee fans’ safety, Odeon will develop measures to keep order at the theater.

SHINee will perform their hit songs including ‘Replay’ ‘Juliette’ ‘Ring Ding Dong’ ‘LUCIFER’ etc. and have an interview session at this gala concert.

Meanwhile, SHINee will leave for the opening gala concert ‘SHINee in London’ of ‘The London Korean Film Festival’ which will be held in London, Britain on November 3rd.

11,000 fans want “SM Town Live in Mexico”

International fans have been thrown into media spotlight with the recent demonstrations by French Kpop fans as they protest for a second SM Town concert in Paris. SM Entertainment made the ground-breaking announcement of holding the first ever Kpop concert in Europe, which will be held at Le Zenith de Paris on June 10th. To the disappointment of some fans, the 6,500 tickets were sold out in 15 minutes and French fans are now organizing an impressive protest for another tour date.

Fans organizes protests all over Europe. They want a second SMTown Live.

A few days ago, Koreaboo reported the protest and flashmob thatKpop fans in Europe have organized in attempts to sway SM Entertainment to give Europe fans another concert date. SM Town Live in Paris, the first Kpop concert to be held in Europe, will be held at Le Zenith in Paris, France on June 10th.

The reason Europe fans have organized a mass of protest/flashmob is because Le Zenith only holds 6,000 seats. Therefore, many European Kpop fans were not able to buy a ticket to the first European Kpop concert. European Kpop fans hope that SM Entertainment will take notice of their efforts and give them a second date for SM Town Live in Paris.
