HK: Actually today, it has been very long since our Seoul concert. There was supposed to be an Asia Tour, but because of various reasons, it got delayed.

HK: Thus, it has been long since we last had a concert here. As expected, it is enjoyable and interesting. Actually, the setlist this time, there might be a lot of songs that you might not be familiar with. Is that okay?

(IN KOREAN)

HK: Actually, not long ago, I had a fall. My knee hurts right now. And when I sing, I sing with my entire body. Entire body you know? (showing us that he uses strength from leg up to his head to sing) From here to here, with strength to sing. But, my knee really really hurts when singing.

JH: That’s because you are getting old.

HK: Getting old?

JH: You are getting old.

HK: He said I’m getting old. Aging.

HK: It’s not the case. I’m still young. I am still young right?

Fans: Yessss

SH: (IN CHINESE) Uncle

Fans Laughing LOL

HK: What’s that? (translator explained) Hahaha.. Am I Da Shu (uncle in chinese)?

Fans: Yessssssss

HK: Wo Shi Da Shu? (I am uncle?)

Fans: YESSSSSSSSSS

HK: Oh.. Aish.. (clearly pissed off hahahaha)

He was asking the translator how to say Aunty in Chinese.

HK: (IN CHINESE, pointing to us) Aunty! Aunty! (omg his pronounciation is no where close hahahaha) Ah, how do you say that? I don’t care.. (pointing to us again) Ajumma! (Aunty in Korean)

HK:(Points to themselves) Uncles! (Points to Fans) Aunties!

Fans: Ehhhhhhhhh

HK: Yes, If we are uncles, you guys will be aunties. Let’s not be uncles and aunties. Understand?

JH: (IN CHINESE) We are friends.

HK: (IN CHINESE) Friends. (IN KOREAN) Friends. Friends?

SH: (waves his hand) No.. Da Shu (Uncle in Chinese)

Fans called SH Oppa.

SH: Oppa? Oppa? (and he turns shy)

HK: Uh.. We are nearing the end of today’s concert. Time alway passes very fast, and is with this regretful/reluctant feeling, we will come and visit again. There are still quite a few songs left.

HK: Actually, after the release of this recent album, I am very grateful to all of you. Uh.. As compared to the release of the album I WILL, we are actually more worried about the release of this second album.

HK: At the release of this second album with the music that we want to do, will the response be still as good?

(This is when JJ starts doing some hand waves at the back. /screams and laughters/)

HK: Fortunately, the album was very well received. It was a very happy and enjoyable process. With that, I feel that we are able to do the music that we want comfortably from now on.

HK: And.. I feel that I seems to have created some trouble..

Fans: Nooo.. Nooo..

HK: i’m Sorry. /heartbreak/

Fans: It’s okay! It’s okay!

HK: But.. you guys will also get a boyfriend or get married some day isn’t it?

Fans: YESSSSS

HK: There are even some of you who are currently attached, or are already married.

Fans: We don’t have!

SH: Mei You! (Don’t have)

HK: In the end/ After all, I am sorry! (very formal)

Fans are chanting: (IN KOREAN) It’s okay! It’s okay! It’s okay!

HK: Of course.

JH: Why did you made the ambience like this?

HK: Because of this, I have thought a lot recently. And in the end, this is the conclusion that I got. The benefit of this is I got to drink a lot of alcohol. Anyways, we are a bunch of friends that want to do music, and through music, we got closer with all of you right here. And because of this reason, we will not persuade those who said they will no longer support/listen our music to stay with us. We will work hard put more effort in doing good songs for those who are still rooting for us.

HK: Actually I am very worried about the concert today. What if I stood on stage and realised that there is no one in the audience? Thank you very much. Really.

JH: (IN CHINESE) Hongki, have you had alcohol today?

HK: We are really putting a lot of efforts in writing songs recently, preparing for our new album. Next year is our 10th anniversary right? We will present to you with even more awesome music. And, to be able to meet with all of you more often, we will be more actively participating in various activities.

HK: Thank you very much. You guys are really awesome. Awesome.

Fans: Fighting!!

HK: (IN ENGLISH) I will come back with good music. Thank you!

HK: And the next stage, we will present you with songs that we really want to do. (IN ENGLISH) Thank you for coming tonight. Bye.

Fan: In English! In English!

HK: In English? (IN ENGLISH) Thank you~ Hehe

HK: (IN KOREAN) And, (IN ENGLISH) And… Oh yea~

HK: It has been a long time since the 5 of us stand together and perform on stage. We have all been doing our own things, having our own solo activities. Thus it has been long since we stood together on the same stage. As expected, it is the most fun and interesting when we do music together and perform to all of you on the same stage.

HK: We will continue to work hard. I kept thinking about all these recently. My heart keeps feeling very stuffy, until we stand here together tonight, singing together with all of you, hearing your screams and support, this is really the most interesting and fun moment.

HK: (sigh) In future, we will also work hard in producing good music and also meet you through our solo activities.
