In November 2022, Super Junior‘s sixth sub-unit, Super Junior L.S.S., made up of Leeteuk, Shindong, and Siwon, held their first fan meeting, leading to the release of their debut single, “Close The Shutter,” in July 2023.
When the subunit released their first mini-album, Let’s Standing Show, they also announced they would be holding their first solo concert, THE SHOW: Th3ee Guys, just weeks later. However, as some fans noticed, the ticket sales for the event were slow, resulting in many unsold tickets.

As a result, the members increased their promotion of the show, posting several times about the upcoming concerts and asking fans to purchase their tickets to the show using jokes.

Who isn’t joining in on the ticketing?? Who is it?? Aren’t you curious about LSS?

Leeteuk even spoke directly about the sales situation, though in a more serious light. When fans were asking the subunit to come to their country, Leeteuk said that to do that, they needed to succeed in Korea first, but that he thinks they’re “set to fail.”

Everyone’s asking LSS to come to a lot of places but do you know what’s important? The Korean concert needs to be successful for us to be able to go anywhere else. Do you know? If you’re not successful in Korea, you can’t go to any other countries. I think we’re set to fail.

In the end, their requests for fans to attend their concerts worked, with the trio holding successful concerts in Seoul, Hong Kong, Ho Chi Minh City, Bangkok, and Taipei.
