Filipino ELFs are really amazing, aren’t they? But no worries since their efforts are all being recognized by Super Junior’s leader, Leeteuk. Through his Twitter account, he sent his gratitude towards the ELFs and challenged them to beat their most amazing record. He said, “Super Junior’s Miinah has been number 1 in the Philippines for 10 weeks in a row^^ Have to work harder in order to break Sorry Sorry’s 37 weeks in a row in Taiwan’s record^^.”
This only proves that the K-Pop craze has deeply penetrated the Philippine market. So Pinoy ELFs, are you up for Leeteuk’s challenge? Are you going to beat Taiwan’s 37 weeks? Let’s all wait for that.
As for now, KPOPLIVE sends their warmest congratulations to Super Junior for these achievements, and of course to the successful conclusion of the Super Show 3 Asian Tour kick off in Seoul.
