The lights dimmed, and the crowd erupted as the familiar opening beats of “Twins (Knock Out)” echoed through the arena. The stage lit up with blue lights, and the members Leeteuk, Yesung, Shindong, Eunhyuk, Donghae, Siwon, Ryeowook, Kyuhyun, and Heechul took their positions, greeting the Filipino ELFs who had waited years for their return.

Siwon followed, saying, “It’s good to be back here. We missed you so much, and we prepared a lot for tonight. Let’s enjoy and have fun together!”

The concert’s pacing perfectly captured the mix of energy and emotion that defines a Super Show. After a series of upbeat tracks, the group transitioned into slower numbers that carried more sentimental weight. They performed “Walkin’,” “Our Love,” “From U,” “I Know,” “In My Dream,” “Dorothy,” and “No One,” each song highlighting their strong vocals and emotional connection with fans.

One memorable segment included a short film about a fan who rediscovered her old Super Junior memorabilia while packing up her childhood room. The story mirrored the experience of many long-time fans who grew up with the group from their first K-pop discovery to adulthood, where Super Junior’s music remains a constant source of comfort. It was a simple but effective way of showing how much the group’s legacy continues to resonate with people around the world.

Known for their humor and charm, Super Junior also made sure that Super Show 10 wasn’t just about sentimentality.
