슴콘 의상 재탕 아니나고 하는데, 이번 공연 자체가 제작비가 많지 않다고 해서. 제작하면 활동비로 빠지고 우리가 부담을 하는 거고 공연도 많지 않아서. 의상 제작하면 몇 백만원 나와요.

Leeteuk: People are asking whether the outfits at SMTOWN Concert were reused, but this concert actually didn't have a large production budget. If we produce new outfits, it's either going to be taken from the funds for our promotional activities or we bear the cost ourselves. Besides, the number of shows isn't that high anyway. Producing new outfits can cost hundreds of thousands of won.

The reason why I keep explaining this is because this could cause a misunderstanding. If I don't speak up, the stylists will get all the blame.

As the cost of producing outfits is deducted from the concert production budget or the funds for our promotional activities, it would be a waste to make expensive outfits that we only wear once.

That's why we sometimes reuse outfits for some events. We have reasons for reusing outfits, and if we think we've reused it too much, we'll speak up and say, 'This isn't right!'

Please understand the circumstances behind this decision regarding the outfits.

I can totally understand Leeteuk's point. Producing too many clothes can harm the environment... So it's completely understandable to reuse outfits for group concerts like SMTOWN Concert.

-It's not even a solo concert, it's a joint concert... It's weird how people are complaining about the outfits...

-I love how he cared enough to explain this.

-Honestly, this is the right approach... Why make new clothes for a one-time event when they already have so many great outfits?

-Is SMTOWN Concert really a one-time event? I mean... They're also going to Tokyo, LA, Mexico City, etc...

-I'm actually okay with idols reusing their outfits, but fans seem to hate itㅋㅋ For a one-time event like SMTOWN Concert, isn't it understandable...? As long as they're not reusing outfits for their comeback stage, it's fine.

-I love it when idols reuse their outfits! It's a waste to only wear them once and wearing old outfits brings back memoriesㅎㅎ

-I actually love it when idols reuse their outfits. It's fun to guess when the last time they wore it.

-With environmental issues going on these days, what's wrong with reusing outfits a bit? Everything costs money these days...

-That's right. I like it because I get to see some outfits that I wanted to see again.

-He explained this so that the stylists wouldn't get blamed. That's very thoughtful of him.

-I fully support idols reusing their old outfits. It saves money, time, labor, and reduces environmental pollution.

-I love it when idols reuse their outfits. It's a waste to only wear something once, especially considering environmental impact it would cost. Besides, those outfits aren't cheap.

-I was so happy to get to see my favorite outfits again.

-If they didn't reuse outfits and raised ticket prices instead to produce new outfits, fans wouldn't like it.

-My fave's stylists got criticized for reusing outfits... So, thank you for explaining.

Leeteuk discovered his old fan when he became an MC at RIIZE's showcase

Apparently, the fan was holding Wonbin's slogan. Ah, so sadㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋ Leeteuk recognized her right away, but he pretended not to know until the end because he was afraid she wouldn't be able to enjoy the showcase if he recognized her.

instiz

-In which show did he mention this?
ㄴAround 16:20

-So sad... But still, that fan has pink blood...

-Wow... I bet he had so many mixed feelings...

-Huk... If he recognized her, that means she must've attended a lot of offline events

ㄴIn the video Leeteuk said that she has been supporting him since his debut and have always followed him.

-But these kinds of situations are pretty common... There are many cases where fans who switched fandoms get recognizedㅠ

-That's actually sad...ㅠㅠ

-Hul... It must've been a huge shock for himㅜ

-There's nothing we can do about it...

-Ah... If I were him, I wouldn't be able to hide my expressions... It's somehow so sadㅠ

-It's sad, but also funny... What are the chances of him spotting her in RIIZE's showcase...

-Maybe she's multi-fandomed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-If it was RIIZE's debut showcase, that Noona might be pink bloodㅠ I don't think he should be too disheartened...

-Maybe she just made room for another group in heart...!

-Maybe that fan's heart just got a bit more spacious...?
ㄴI agree. I also have many people living in my heartㅋㅋㅋ

-How many years has she been a pink blood..... SM Ent., you better treat fans well.

The stage names Lee Sooman had suggested for SM artists, but were rejected

 

Tony Ahn

1st suggestion: Pickle (Because it suits his fresh image)

2nd suggestion: Tony (Originally, it's his English name)

>> If he used the name Pickle, he's afraid he's going to get a lot of offer to star in Pickle advertisements instead of Pizza. So he decided to go with Tony. 

Leeteuk

1st suggestion: Kangsu (Means 'precipitation', Lee Sooman wants him to bring the rain to the music industry)

2nd suggestion: Shin-i (Means the kid that God has sent)

3rd suggestion: Leeteuk (Means a special kid)

>> Right after the 2nd suggestion, he decided to go with Leeteuk

Shindong

1st suggestion: Woo-dong (Dong is taken from his real name + because it suits his chubby image)

2nd suggestion: Dong-chun (is actually the name of a Korean circus group, Lee Sooman chooses this name because Shindong has a lot of talent)

3rd suggestion: Shin-don (But then Shindong requested it to be 'Shindong)

>> There was a drama in MBC titled 'Shin-don' airing at that time, therefore he went with 'Shindong'

Kyuhyun

1st suggestion: Gwi-hyun (Because Kyuhyun is difficult to pronounce + it means 'precious')

2nd suggestion: Kyuhyun (His real name)

>> The manager heard Lee Sooman's stage name suggestion and opposed it, that's how he went with Kyuhyun instead

DBSK

1st suggestion: 오장육부/The Five Visceras and Six Entrails (Means just like the internal organs, this group can't leave out anyone)

2nd suggestion: 동방불패/Swordsman (Lee Sooman was inspired from the movie with the same title)

3rd suggestion: 동방신기 (Means Rising Gods from the east)

>> The 2nd suggestion was rejected because the Hanja was not aesthetically pleasing, that's how they went with DBSK

theqoo

-If DBSK had used 'The Five Visceras and Six Entrails', I wonder if they're using the organs' name as the members' stage names too...? Kidney-Yunho, Pancreas-Changmin...

-Was he even serious when he suggested all those names...?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I can't believe he almost named Shindong after a Circus group...

-It's so funny how the manager opposed the idea of 'Gwi-hyun'ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Isn't Gwi-hyun harder to pronounce than Kyuhyun...?

-What the heck is The Five Visceras and Six Entrails...ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-He has a fresh image and yet Lee Sooman was going to name him Pickle??? I thought Pickles were sourㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Kyuhyun's name is so pretty, why would you change that to Gwihyunㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-If they went with The Five Visceras and Six Entrails, we would have Kidney-Yunho, Liver-Yoochun, Heart-Junsu, Small Intestine-Changmin, and Large Intestine-Jaejoong...

-I wonder what would've happened if they decided to go with The Five Visceras and Six Entrailsㅋㅋ

-What the f*ckㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Shin-i was actually a good name...

Leeteuk sounds like he has some dissatisfaction after attending MAMA

Leeteuk: 'Why did (I) come here?'

Eunhyuk: 'Hyung, that Hongkong grandmother ghost will come out soon, go to sleep:)'

No one knows what made him post that

But we all know that MAMA didn't give Super Junior any awards, not even an ending stage.

instiz

-Why do you think it's because of MAMA?

-I would be mad too if I were him..

-What happened..?

-If he really did post that because of MAMA, then I wonder if there were any parts of MAMA that made him upset..?

-But still, let's not jump into the conclusion this fast!

-Yeah, let's not jump into the conclusion right away.. But even if he really got upset because of MAMA, I can totally understand it.. I mean, he even flew to Hongkong just for one performance..

-First of all, how did you know that picture was taken during MAMA. And also how did you know he has some dissatisfaction after attending MAMA? Just because he uploaded that picture? You guys are jumping into the conclusion way too fast..

-He could be upset because of other things, and not because of MAMA..

-But frankly speaking, I wonder why did MAMA invite him in the first place.. And I also wonder why SM sent him to Hongkong for MAMA.. SM, I wanna hear your explanation, okay?

-I know that we shouldn't be judging too fast but.. What's wrong with having dissatisfaction towards MAMA? He has every rights and freedom to express it..

-...???

-The ending stage..? What about it..?

-But MAMA was indeed very mean.. I mean, he only got to perform once and.. That's all..

-You guys are surely very busy minding other people's life..

Leeteuk's joke towards Mamamoo's Hwasa is stirring up a controversy?

Hwasa: Who's the member that makes you think 'Ah.. She's so-so..' when you see her in person?

Leeteuk: Can I turn back to see them?

Caption: Time to show off their charms

Leeteuk: It's Hwasa

instiz

-It's just a joke..ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-He just said that because Hwasa was the one who asked the question..

-What.. He's just joking, though..

-Hwasa asked that question, and he couldn't answer it.. He was just joking..

-Because it would be really weird if he really answered that question honestly..

-It must be a joke.. right..?

-It's weird if you cut the scene out like this..

-If you watch the whole video, it's actually really funny.. He was just joking..

-He was just joking, right?

-Hwasa asked the questionㅋㅋㅋㅋ This post scared me..

-Ah.. It was just a joke, thoughㅋㅋㅋ If only the article also insert a video of the scene..

-What's wrong with the article.. That was a joke and they all laughed it off..

-Hwasa joked around by asking him that question in the first place..

-I was like ...? at first, but then I found out that was a jokeㅋㅋㅋ

-I've read all of the comments and found out what was really happening.. The screen capture made it as if he really meant it..

-Pardon..? Please don't cut the scene just like this..

-People will misunderstand if they haven't watched the full video..

-You should've explained the whole situation so it doesn't stir up a controversy..

-I wouldn't know that he was joking if I didn't read the comments..

-It's obvious that he was joking..

-He should've answered 'None of you'..

-This scene was really funny, though..?
