[ENG TRANS] FTISLAND's full record @ Taiwan; via Fun Music

PLEASE TAKE OUT WITH FULL CREDITS. THANK YOU ^^


Korea's first flower boy band FTISLAND will be holding the first stage of「2012 TAKE FTISLAND Asia Tour concerts - Taipei stage」on 15th December at the Taipei Exhibition Hall 2. Two hours before the concert started, the lead vocal Lee Hongki went out to the east side to shop, and even impulsively decided to take a Taiwan cab and trawl around. When the car passed the Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall, the staff members told him that that was the venue in which they held the February 2010 concert in Taiwan. Because everytime they are in Taiwan, everywhere they went was by van, and they were sent right into the venue itself. Hence, they never once had the chance to see the exterior of the venues. Lee Hongki was then shocked that actually the venue for that year's concert was actually so beautiful. When they passed the Taipei 101, he could finally see clearly how high the building was, and his excitement was no different from a regular tourist. Because while he was shopping, no one recognised him, Lee Hongki did not hide away his playful character. When he returned to the concert venue, in order to catch the fans' attention, he purposely acted as if he were uncomfortable and had no energy, going in by the back door with the security's guidance. It could be because Lee Hongki's acting was too real, but at the venue, although there were many fans who were excitedly awaiting the start of the concert, they did not realise that Lee Hongki had just slipped right past them.

In the middle of the concert, there was the emergence of guitarist Song Seunghyun's leg cramp incident. According to Korean practice, they would use a thin needle to release pressure and ease the situation. But because the incident happened so suddenly and there was no way to find a real and proper needle, the Taiwan staff members quickly went to buy medicated gel to massage the affected area. It's no longer an issue, so we want to assure all the fans not to worry!

After the concert ended, the five members held a High-Five fan-meeting backstage. There were girls from all sorts of age-groups present, even including those from third or fourth-year elementary school students. When the little girls saw the older brother whom they liked right in front of them giving them a high-five, they were stunned immediately, and the members are also very happy to have such small super-fans. Main vocal Lee Hongki's mood was very high: At first, he used Korean to say "Thank you", conveying to all the fans his grateful heart. But after listening to the Taiwan staff members speaking the Chinese "Thank you", he invented the「Chinese-style Korean」: “Xie Xie Hamnida”. He was even rather happy with the new line he had invented, posting it on his own Twitter that night, together with the photo together with fans. He even wrote below, "Thank you! Everyone really did well as usual! Xie Xie Hamnida." After the fan-meeting ended, they headed to a renown sukiyaki shop to have a huge feast. (After that), FTISLAND headed back to the hotel to rest, recovering their physical energy for the next day's concert.
