"There was once I went drinking with Yunho and he got a little tipsy. After that, he did this dance move that I think everyone would like to see," Super Junior's Donghae declared at the SMTOWN press conference yesterday held at the Ritz-Carlton. "It's not a cool sort of dance move, more like a silly one," he clarified, much to label-mate TVXQ's chagrin and amusement.

TVXQ and Super Junior were just two of the big names in Korean entertainment that gathered under one roof for Singapore's biggest concert to date - SMTOWN Live World Tour III in Singapore, which was held yesterday. Representatives from each of the groups attended the press conference, fielding questions from the media with grace and wit.

Among those present were Kangta, BoA, Yunho, TVXQ's Changmin, Donghae, Girls' Generation's Seohyun, SHINee's Onew, f(x)'s Victoria, EXO-M's Kris and EXO-K's Suho. Clearly thrilled to hold this large-scale event on our shores for the first time, veteran artiste BoA spoke in fluent English, a clear indication of her foray into the US market.
