Q: How do you feel embarking on this new world tour?
(Yunho): Thank you for having me at SM Town Live World Tour III
This is our third time having this tour and concert experience
We home to make it better then it has been in the past
We are thankful that you are all here today. We will work hard with our juniors, seniors and staff to give you a K-Pop night.
Q: Could you share with us how you feel about this world tour as well?
(Leeteuk) Rather than touching upon past concerts, we will focus on the concert right now. So now that we're here, lets focus on our own SM Town
Q: You just made your debut this year, this is your first time being on SM Town's live stage. As such, you must be feeling a whole lot. Do you mind sharing with us your feelings about being on this worldwide tour?
Kris: This is the first time for us to come out of Asia to meet our North American fans in person, so that is such an honor and we're really happy to be in SM Town to perform.
We promoted our teasers and music video through YouTube online. We never got to meet our fans in person, so this is a great chance. We'll keep working hard. Thank you!
Q: Every time you visit the states it seems like you always receive crazy love and support. Can you feel it?
Sooyoung: Yes.
Being on an American talk show was a very fun experience.
There are so many great people who have supported us, so we are really happy to perform there too. We are really glad to be here.
Q: You recently received a lot of love with your recent comeback "Sherlock." Do you have something special for the concert tonight?
(Onew) Yes, thank you for having us. This will be the first time we will be performing "Sherlock" in the states, and we are definitely looking forward to it.
If you could just watch us and enjoy, that would be great.
Q: As this will be your second time, can you tell us the difference beween the concert you had on the world tour last time in LA and the concert that you have tonight?
Krystal: This is our first time performing our songs "Pinocchio" and "Hot Summer" in Los Angeles, so we are very excited about it. I hope you guys enjoy the show.
Q: Not only are you participating in the SM Town Live World Tour, but you are also on your own special Super Junior Live World Tour.
How do you do it? How do you always manage to have an explosive reaction from your fans worldwide? What's your secret?
(Eunhyuk) Maybe it's because of their great good looks and image worldwide, and because they're so handsome. The rest of his team members are handsome,
and Eunhyuk thinks that he's also handsome as well.
(LeeTeuk) Its not only Super Junior receiving love, but all our artists receiving love from you guys and everyone else.
We ask that you continue to support us.
Q: Speaking for all the artists participating the SM Town Live concert performance,
do you have anything else to share about what to take away from today and what to expect?
(Changmin) Collaborations are one of SM Entertainments strong points and that's something to definitely look forward to.
Also with the addition of the new group, EXO, this will be their first time that they on the tour, so that is another thing to look forward to.
This concert is live, its upgraded. It is a whole different new level for you guys.
They are very nervous and excited to be on the stage.
(Leeteuk) It looks like we have a lot of people, fans and audience members here, including in the press as well.
We look different and we talk different languages, but we just ask that you enjoy in the music together.
If you don't know the lyrics, if you don't know the songs, just go ahead and continue to sing and shout.
Q: After tonight, DBSK and Super Junior (and Girl's Generation and f(x)) will be going up to Northern California to perform at the Google Concert There.
How do you feel about that tonight? Are you excited, nervous, tired?
Q: Because K-Pop has become such a global phenomena, what formula and sort of things are required to keep K-Pop in that success?
(Leeteuk) I have a nervious happiness that is overflowing from his heart. 39 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:48,000 In Korean that word is goo-geul, so he was feeling very "goo-geul goo-geul" (sounds like "Google"). A Korean Joke.
They would like to focus on providing more variety in the content of songs.
More exciting, out-of-the-world performances will be needed to keep on having K-Pop continue.
There are few people out there who think that K-Pop is going down, or the quality has gone down.
That's something all artists are working on together to always improve themselves and to have a better performance, and to not get tired, to keep K-Pop going forever and ever.
They are also just receiving love with just their choreography as well,
so now you have artists and companies that have worked with Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson now flying to Korea and also collaborating with Korean artists as well, in singing and dancing.
So that definitely is a landmark as to how K-Pop is flourishing now.
Q: Does Girl's Generation have and plans to do solo concert tours in the states or other parts of the world?
Q: For Jessica, is she aware that her family was on ESPN?
Jessica: I hope my fans aren't really disappointed because I actually practiced a lot. I had fun first pitching.
There are no plans of having a Girl's Generation solo world tour concert yet
Sooyoung: As of right now there are no further discussions. Nothing has been confirmed yet.
Jessica and the rest of the Girl's Generation members would just like to focus on this world tour.
So continue your love and support for that.
Jessica did see her family on ESPN. She was thankful she was able to debut on a sports channel.
(Leeteuk): Eunhyuk said he had no idea what Jessica was doing (that she was pitching) until she pulled out something that looked like a baseball.
Q: I was wondering if you made any accommodations in your concert to suit the non Korean speaking audience.
Jessica: This is my sister. Krystal and I are going to perform Katy Perry's "California Girls"
because were are actually born in California. I hope you guys enjoy.
(Leeteuk) There are things planned for non Korean fans that are present.
starting from Girl's Generation performance of "The Boys" in English,
any their many collaboration performances, of which you already heard.
Jessica and Krystal will be performing perform Katy Perry's "California Girls," and
Changmin and another member from a group (Kyuhyun) will be performing Bruno Mars' "Just The Way You Are."
Eunhyuk will try to put in some English comments in between.
Q: Leeteuk, would you like to go ahead and make a closing comment before you go backstage again?
(Leeteuk) Thank you for having us. This is our first concert in LA (Anaheim).
In the midst of your busy schedule, thank you for attending once again.
We did talk a lot, so please enjoy our performances one by one...
instead of sitting back and saying "Let's see and wait what happens," just have fun with the concert.
Thank you for having us
