Super Junior fans rejoice! If you missed this influential idol group's 2011/2012 world tour then this week you'll have a chance to get in on the magic with "SUPERSHOW 4"…in 3D! Super Junior's tour was in support of their fifth album ("Mr. Simple") and spanned twenty-four concerts in eight different countries around the world. This included performances in Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, China, Thailand, France, and Indonesia. It might sound a little strange to have feature film released of a live music tour, but the huge popularity of this, indeed, superstar group most definitely has the edge to pull something like this off – and it's in 3D!
