Super Junior-M on Spring Festival Gala (Confirmed)

Today (January 7, 2009), the source close to CCTV release a list of pop singers to media, including Super Junior-M (SJ-M) lead by Han Geng. Upon receiving the information, the reporter calls Han Geng’s Korean manager Mr Han and he confirms this information. He also reveals that the Spring Festival Gala crew is very interested in SJ-M’s dance songs and hope that they can dance in the performance. The exact songs are not decided yet, however, the song will be chosen from ‘U’, ‘Me’, and ‘Love Song’ if everything goes according to plan.

Before, there is rumor that Han Geng will participate in the gala. The manager says that Han Geng has a busy schedule at the end of the year, and he can not perform alone on stage. However, this time the organization invites the group Super Junior-M to perform and surprises a lot of people. According to the manager, this time there is no problem with the schedule, but the detailed information is still in negotiation. The organization asks them to choose a dance song. The talent company has circled the rough scale of songs. If everything goes according to plan, Han Geng will lead group SJ-M to sing one song of ‘U’, ‘Me’, and ‘Love Song’ in Chinese.

(Basically it is confirmed now. It is interesting to notice that Han Geng can not perform alone and he is said to be too busy then when only Han Geng is invited, while SJ-M is invited this time and Han Geng is not busy now. What a miraculous schedule! What a miraculous company!)

‘If it is allowed, we will choose one dance song and a ballad, but it is decided by the organization.’ The manager is confident that SJ-M will perform at the gala. When asked whether they feel pressured since singers are asked to sing live, and SJ-M has to sing while dancing which is very difficult, he answers that before only when the sound equipment is broken or the earphones are not prepared will SJ-M not sing live, and they always sing live whenever the situation allows. SJ-M is accustomed to sing live so they don’t feel pressured.

(Personally I have never heard SJ-M singing dance songs live before. I will cross my fingers while watching the performance. Please join me. By the way, it is rare for even super stars to sing 2 songs on the gala, since the total time of pop music performance is limited to 6 minutes. Maybe SJ-M can sing 2 songs with 100 other singers together, or they have to wait until they have conquered the whole universe.)
