Super Show 9: Road was the sixth world concert tour and ninth tour overall by South Korean boy band Super Junior, in support of their eleventh studio album, The Road. The world tour commenced with three shows in Seoul from July 15–17, 2022.[1] This tour marks the return of the group on world concert tour after three years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On June 13, Label SJ announced that Heechul would not be joining the tour due to ongoing health issues.[2]

Background

On June 3, 2022, Super Junior announced their dates for the tour Super Show 9, before the promotion of their eleventh studio album, The Road : Keep on Going.[3] The concert on July 17, 2022 was broadcast via Beyond LIVE. On March 16, 2023, Super Junior announced their encore concert in Seoul, titled "Super Show 9 : Road Show".[4] The second show (April 16) will also be live-streamed via Beyond LIVE.

Critical reception

Jan Lee, writing for The Straits Times highlighted their stage presence, saying they "showcased the top-notch polish and showmanship" of a K-pop act and "unlike newer groups who perhaps still feel the pressure to be perfect, Super Junior were so comfortable and at home, it was akin to a meeting with old friends." Georgie Joseph from Harian Metro, in his review of the Malaysian stop said that Super Junior were "well prepared" for the concert. He elaborated that "they are ready to bring a performance concept that is rarely seen" and "to show off their different side".[5] He also praised the "broadway segment" in the concert, in which the band wore English nobility costume, saying it was "quite entertaining".
