SM Town Canada Flash Mobs were a success


Finally after months of preparation, the flashmobs for SMTOWN across Canada including Toronto, Montreal, Winnipeg, Vancouver and Ottawa were finally held which caught the attention of different Korean and Canadian medias.

After the successful concerts in Paris, fans from Canada were motivated to do something to see their idols too. An official \"SM Town Live in Canada\" fanpage (http://www.facebook.com/SMTWONLIVEINCANADA) and different SMTOWN flash mob pages/groups were created by fans from Toronto, Vancouver,Montreal, Winnipeg,Edmonton,Ottawa and Quebec to start the movement for SMTOWN Canada. In just 2 months, the main page attracted 2000 likes in a short period of time.

Fans from Canada have been tweeting #SMTOWNCANADA Twitter to show how much they would like SM Town Live to come to Canada for a concert. Fortunately, one of SM Entertainment\'s artists, Isak, saw the trending topic and decided to help out. She tweeted, \"Wow~~~ #smtowncanada sounds like a GREAT idea~~ I wanna go too~~~^^.\"
