On August 8, 2013, a 3D film of the Seoul concert was released in 30 theaters across South Korea.

Concerts

edit

The two concerts in Osaka were played to a total audience of 80,000 people.[3] In February, the group set records for the fastest selling concert in Taiwan and also the first overseas artist to hold four consecutive concerts at the Taipei Arena.[4] In March, the group became the first Korean singers to hold two consecutive concerts in Macau,[5] and broke the record for the biggest concert audience in Thailand, with 40,000 people.[6] The French and Indonesian legs of the tour also marks the group's first solo concert in Paris,[7] and Jakarta.

On March 29, 2012, Sydney based promoter JK Entertainment announced that Super Show 4 will be held on May 5 at the Allphones Arena.[8] However its cancellation by the promoter was announced on April 16,[9] due to the hospitalisation of the concert director requiring immediate medical treatment.[10]

On April 23, 2012, SM Entertainment announced the addition of two encore concerts in Seoul on May 26 and 27. Tickets went on sale on April 26 along with special concert packages for overseas fans offered by SM Town Travel.[11] The encore shows were played to an audience of 22,000 for three and a half hours.[12]

For the second leg of the Japanese dates, 400,000 fans tried to buy tickets for the May 12 concert, as soon as they went on sale resulting in the addition of the May 13 concert.[13] The two concerts were played to a total audience of 110,000 people.[14]
