Super Junior had some worries about an online concert: they were afraid it would just feel like a long music show and not like a concert. And without fans being there physically, how to perform correctly?

So they decided to connect with fans maximizing the elements offered by online concerts: like AR and the possibility of having 9 different camera views at the same time.

They had to work hard on the use of the cameras: the placement of fans are wildly different during a concert and a music show. Beyond Live was a concert but the placement of fans and camera was closer to a music show.

Therefore, they had to change the choreographies and formations for these to be closer to the music shows ones so the camera would capture the concerts in the best way possible.

What could have been better? Different groups performed on the same stage every week, because of that it was the same framework for everyone. They hope to create a more unique framework and stage next time.

They could indeed feel the difference between an irl and an online concert. They miss the events, the signs, the people reaching to them. Online concerts are great but there is a little smth that give them less energy.

But it was also incredible for them to connect with global fans without time and space constraints. It's also less of a hassle for fans (cheaper and unlimited tickets, no travelling, no queuing, ...).

And they can make better eye contact in online concerts ㅋㅋ So Eunhyuk and Shindong made everyone make eye contact with them for 10 seconds during the SDF talk to verify that theory

To them Beyond Live aren't a replacement of irl concerts. Online and offline concert can coexist at the same time! Especially to reach more global fans. They also are thinking about hybrid concerts.

Q&A part:
1. A lot of people wrote in the comments that E and S are such good speakers. A participant (might be an ELF ㅋ) wrote that E and S should come to her school give a speech for "academic purpose".

2. What elements of online concerts can you apply to offline concerts?
They're thinking about holding both kind of concerts. If ELF like to do several dates of the tours, they might like also doing the online version of said concert.

It's a big transition to go from artist to director, what motivate this choice?
Eunhyuk: No specific reason, just that as an artist on stage he saw first hand many things to improve with the years.

First he was just giving some advice and since SS7 he has been directing all Super Junior concerts, especially the storyline of concerts and he wants to keeps directing all next Super Show too.

Shindong: He's working more on the equipment and camera work part of the concerts (and also MVs). So he does most of the VCR during concerts, it's like a second job to him now.

3. Park Yangwoo, Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism sent a video message. He said the Korean government planned to support (financially?) online concerts teams and venues soon.

Eunhyuk and Shindong were very flattered, they said the format would become more common and grow even bigger as a real time form of entertainment and communication between artists and fans.

4. What new attempts could you try to communicate with fans?
They mentioned they were interested into trying VR glasses one day that would also fans to feel like being in the concert hall itself

They briefly mentioned KRY Beyond Live and the upcoming online fan meeting (no spoiler ) and closed the panel by saying they would keep challenging themselves: NO CHALLENGE! NO CHANGE!
