"Kings of Hallyu Wave" has once paved the way for K-pop in another country, stamping their name on the history as the first Korean idol group to receive an invitation from the Royal Commission in Saudi Arabia!
According to Elf Journalist Team, the worldwide superstars have been personally invited by the Royal Commission to attend the winter season of Tantura. This includes them to participate in a joint ceremony with the Republican artists enjoying the scenery and views from the party's venue.
This is after their successful concert in Saudi Arabia, making them the first Korean group to perform in the conservative country, specifically having their first performance in Jeddah last July 2019 and bringing their SuperShow7s in the country to keep their promise and delight to come back again in UAE for another show.
Super Junior's popularity in the Kingdom is no joke, for they have sold out their concert ticket just for a few hours, despite the short notice of the concert. In addition to this, their influence is tremendous in Saudi Arabia, as young women in the Kingdom are learning Korean as well.
Meanwhile, Super Junior dominates as their popularity grows bigger in Saudi Arabia, breaking the language and culture barrier between two countries, as Saudi Arabia signs a memorandum of understanding with the cooperation of the Tourism field between Saudi Arabia and South Korea for the first time ever!

Moreover, another history was written interwoven with the appearance of Super Junior in the Kingdom, being the first K-pop idol group that was able to perform in the country not only once but twice.
On the other hand, Tantura Festival is one of the historical places which is representing the great history of Saudi Arabia, and Super Junior is set to experience it, adding up to the list as the evidence of them being labeled as "Kings of Hallyu Wave."
This list includes Super Junior, going viral alongside Wonder Girls worldwide for their track "Sorry Sorry" and setting the K-pop favorable to the mainstream.
Furthermore, Super Junior is also the first Korean group to have a foreigner member, and controversy about Hangeng had opened the door for K-pop groups to have a foreigner as their members.
On top of the list, Super Junior was the pioneer as well of bringing K-pop and Korean Culture on several parts of the world including United States of America, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Indonesia, China, Taiwan, Japan, Philippines, Vietnam, Venezuela, Turkey, Germany and many more.
Super Junior is set to influence the world more as they continue to promote domestically and internationally, after each member has completed their military services, and are now able to promote with the whole group.
The group recently released their repackage album "TIMELESS" and "2YA2YAO" as their main track, taking in the challenge of hip-hop, and serving the blend of the 16-year-old group and the modern sound in collaboration with Zico as their song producer.
