-OPENING-
<Song 1: Lose>
<Song 2: 원해 (Want)>
<Song 3: The Night>
<Song 4: Champagne>
HK: How's it? Shall we continue like this for a while more? Continue more? Are you guys really gonna be alright? Good. I feel like I can be doing moonwalk here~ (at the walkway to the extended stage) It is very slippery. /p.s. HE REALLY TRIED TO MOONWALK -.-/ Anyway, with this current vibe, this song, it has been very long since we last sang it in Korea. Everyone should know it. Are you ready? Let's get it started now~ Let's do it.
<Song 5: Flower Rock>
HK: How should I still continue? Let me just continue till I die then >.<
<Song 6: Falling Star>
HK: Sit down. Sit down. Standing too, sit down. (Standing Pen: what?!) Just sit down. Don't complain, sit down. Standing, just take a step back and crunch your back a little. Okay, let's try to jump excitedly. /JJ & SH are prepared to RUN anytime/ Are you ready? Are you really ready? I told you to be prepared for this concert right? We'll be going now~~ I'm really gonna start~ Ah... I'm dying... /JJ got impatient as HK kept talking. He signalled that they are running out of time >.</ Let's go.
<Song 6: Falling Star continues~>
HK: /singing/ my heart feels like bursting~ really it's bursting~
HK: It's just a random melody~ We will give our official greeting. One Two Three, Hello we are FTISLAND. Are you guys well? Are you really well? It has been long since we last jumped and had fun right? But how... Today is really... really will be dying~ Uh.. We were really prepared (mentally) as it has been long since we last did a concert in Korea. And our age is exceeding 30 mark.
JJ: There's members who still hasn't passed the mark.
HK: Yes, there's members who hasn't passed the mark. But because I have passed it.. Anyway
SH: /chuckles/ I'm not trying to laugh at you but that's really the case (HK being the only member who passed 30)~
HK: This guy really... Uh.. It has been long since we had a T-stage, and be able to view all your faces up close, it feels really welcoming right?
HK: As you know, we have became 4 now. Ah... Don't say those things because we are alright. Today's concert we kinda had to transform into 4 in a sudden, how's it? Is it alright? Those who stayed have stayed. Somehow, for everyone, please also remember the times with that friend as a precious memory. We also viewed the times with that friend as a precious memory. Moving forward is what's important right? So everyone please don't be like that~!
HK: Anyway, thank you for coming here today to play with us. And we will slowly bring you more songs. There will be songs that you haven't hear them for quite a while. We have tried our best to prepare a lot, so everyone, please be comfortable and have lots of fun until your pants (underwear) are wet....
SH: Hongki-ssi~~~
HK: Yes yes
SH: It's a little racy~
HK: Talking about pants is racy/pervert?
SH: Wait a minute. If you say it like this, I became the pervert >.<
HK: Why are you thinking about weird things? I'm wearing pants and everyone is wearing pants too! Why are you like this?!
SH: Okay.. I know it now. /& Seung started "grumbling" to the fans in front of him/
HK: Okay~ So this time, I would like to tag onto the vibe and play more excitedly. We will tell you what we want to say a little later after singing more songs. Understand? And.. It seems like I should at least greet in different languages. (KR) Annyeonghaseyo. (JPN) Konnichiwa (CH) Ni Hao (EN) Hello (FR) Boujour
then HK gave up thinking of more languages.
HK: Annyeonghaseyo. Everyone please memorise that. Annyeonghaseyo. This is the greeting in South Korea. Annyeonghaseyo. I will sing a song called Annyeonghaseyo. /and no one moves to start the song/ Yah~ Like this and no one starts moving?
HK: Okay I understand. Let's be serious and talk about Jaejin-ssi's... Our Jaejin's sad (sigh)
SH: Why are you sighing?
HK: I feel like crying (LOL What?!) Jaejin-ssi's breaking up song and also a song that will show us the light. We will present to you this two songs.
SH: JAEJIN HYUNG HWAITING!!
<Song 7: Nowhere>
HK: It has been a while, shall we on the lights?
<Song 8: To The Light>
HK: Thank you. Erm.. Everyone can sing very well. I'm thankful that although it has been quite a while but you guys did not forget anything and sing along with us.
HK: Actually in all the stages/performances that we have prepared today (staff started to bring out the preparation for acoustic stage) at the back too, in front too that's what you guys wanted. So this time, we will move to the front to sing for you guys...
/fans are making too much noise/
HK: Shh! Be quiet! Be quiet!
HK: First of all...Uh... Everyone.. We will now present you songs from FTISLAND's past to present.
JJ: Everyone... Who can hear Lee Hongki-ssi's voice from here?
Fans: Yesssss
HK: It feels like you guys can't hear me >.<
HK: So, everyone.. Do you know about the four seasons? Do you know four seasons? What's in the four seasons? Spring. Summer. Autumn. Winter. And if I were to add one more in between them?
SH: Rainy Season?
HK: We will have to include the rainy season too~ So this time, as we are singing the old songs, Spring Summer Rainy Autumn Winter we will fit it in the four seasons. Everyone, when you think of Spring, which song will come into your mind? Why did I hear First Kiss?!
SH: Spring will reminds you of First Kiss? Or is it because you (fans) had your first kiss in spring?
/HK started humming a little of First Kiss/
HK: Is it like this? Not this song, but songs that we promoted during Spring. Songs we promoted during Summer.
SH: Oh.. We did a lot of comebacks during Summer.
HK: and also Rainy Season. It seems to be a promotion in Summer but it kinda got mixed with the Rainy Season, we kinda have such a song. and... Autumn.. Autumn is kinda a chilly season right? and it feels very Severely.. and lastly, Winter. Everyone, which of our songs are there in Winter? Distance? Don't tell us Japanese songs.
SH: Don't give us Japanese songs. Because we are now in Korea... Yuki? That song is good too but it is also a Japanese song.
HK: In our songs, what songs will remind you of Winter? Come to think of it, there doesn't seems to be much songs.
SH: From the songs that (HK) hyung likes... I Wish?
HK: What are you saying?! Please leave I Wish aside for now..
SH: Ah.. Okay~
HK: For Winter, we felt that it probably should match this kind of vibe/feeling, so we have prepared this song. Minhwan-ssi, why are you with a guitar? Are you not drumming?
MH: I will drum too~
HK: How do you drum (with the guitar)?
MH: I will spread the time and do both.
HK: Ah...
MH: Actually, for this concert, I felt that I should at least play the guitar once on stage. It's kinda like to fill up the empty space and also to fulfil my own greed(?)
HK: Guitar is your own greed? Will you be able to play the guitar and drums at the same time in the future? You can't do that? Guitar and Drum at the same time?
MH: It seems possible....
HK: Then please do it at the same time in the future... I have a curious question. You will be playing the guitar but why is it that guitar?! I didn't know that he is using my guitar! I only know about it today! Why is it like this?!
MH: I would also like to use my own guitar, but it is too tiny. It is cute and small, but I heard that the sounds it produce is not good during a concert.
HK: My guitar is also on the smaller side..
MH: Oh really? It is bigger than mine.
HK: Today when I came during rehearsal, Minhwan was like "Hyung, sorry, I can use this right?" What if I told you not to use it when you asked?
MH: No.. This was just lying around in the practice room
HK: What do you mean by lying around?!
MH: It is really just lying there since you are not using it.
SH: kekekeke lying around
JJ: It's not lying around. It is just being parked there.
HK: What do you mean by parked there?! Not long ago I was strumming this here and there in the practice room~
JJ: Really?!
MH: Please show it to us then /hands the guitar to HK/
& the other FT members started to get fans to chant "Lee Hongki.. Lee Hongki.."
JJ: Everyone, Lee Hongki-ssi will show you his guitar performance!
HK: Ehhhhh... I don't want to. Don't want to. (to JJ) Please do not say big words~
Fans: Please show us.. Please show us... Please show us...
HK: BE QUIET! BE QUIET!
MH: Why not just show us a few chords?
HK: If it's just chords... (walks over to MH & wanted to show is the chords placement) Okay then you (MH) just strum it.. Strum.. This is E chord and this is C and this is G~ It you know this 3 chords, you can play 1000 over different songs. This is just a joke~
HK: Anyway, with this close distance with everyone, let's fall into the past memories with the old songs from Spring, Summer, Rainy, Autumn, Winter. Do you understand? In English, it is (EN) Spring, Summer, Rainy Season, Autumn and Winter. /& HK is proud of his English then he repeats it again in Japanese/ Now Chinese.. Jaejin-ssi..
JJ: With this meaning, we will start the songs~~ Let's go~
HK: Everyone, please dance along too..
<Song 9: Love Love Love>
<Song 10: I Hope>
HK: This is really good. Really good. Everyone, do you feel that is is Spring and Summer? In the front part of I Hope, we have added in a little like Cool seonbaenim's (해변의 여인) song.. "Ije ddeo-na-ja iya-iya-iya"
(and we have Minari strumming the tune)
SH: A little that kind of feeling?
HK: Yes.. A little like that. Today it rained too right? Today it rained, early in the morning. Maybe you didn't know about it, but it rained. Today it rained! So today, this song, it feels very fitting. This song, it feels like everyone will really like it. So everyone please sing along to it alright?
HK: This song is from an album that was released at the beginning of the Rainy Season.. Please listen to it.
<Song 11: Wind>
SH: Feels like I really got hit by the rain.
<Song 12: Severely>
<Song 13: Meeting>
HK: Everyone. The songs that we have not sang in Korea for a while, we would like to express it to you guys in terms of seasons, so we had it prepared like this. Does it fit the theme? Wow, you guys still can remember the lyrics and songs from the first album. Thank you so much.
SH: We too.. I think we will do better for first album than the fifth album.
HK: That's right. Even so, first album is really good.
SH: There are really many songs. Other than fans, other people are also praising the songs from the first album. Like.. Because I Don't Know How To Love, Don't Love
HK: A Man's First Love Will Follow Him to His Grave
SH: Only One Person..
HK: A Man's First Love Will Follow Him to His Grave, especially guys, they really like it. You want me to sing it?
<Hongki Sings A Man's First Love Will Follow Him to His Grave>
HK: Oh.. (surprises that fans can sing along too) For me.. I like this song from the past that Jaejin-ssi sang.. Sonagi or is is it not? Boy Meets Girl? What is it? Sonagi.. Please sing a little for us.
JJ; What was it?
HK tried to help by singing the chorus.
Jaejin: My part is the one before this.
HK: Ah...
<Jaejin Sings Boy Meets Girl>
SH: Okay.. Now.. Thank you. (Seung tried to cut JJ off as he sings a little too much? keke)
JJ: It has been long since I sang it and I got excited.
HK: This tour, we would like to do this a lot with you guys. Although this was made in a rush, this towel's design, why is it done like this.. Usually, when we grab the towel to swing, we will grab it like this (at the ends). But rather than that, if you grab onto the middle portion....
SH: They said it is not pretty though~
HK: If you grab the middle... No... If you grab it like this (in the middle), it is more comfortable to swing around!
SH: But it is not pretty though~
HK: It is comfortable to swing around...
SH: But it is not pretty
HK: Everyone.. Everyone.. This way (grabbing in the middle) is more comfortable >.< I will hold it this way on my own.. Everyone please hold it on whatever way you please >.< I WILL grab it this way myself!
JJ: It's everyone's freedom on how they want to hold it.
HK: Yes, please do as you please
JJ: Yes, everyone please just hold it the way you like.
HK: And this time too, nail art. It has been quite a while since I've done it. The winner of the contest did it for me on my nails personally. I told everyone to come and play with us today. Thank you very much. In the future too, after we are back from the army...
Fans: Awwwwwww
HK: Hiya, those people who are outside, time will pass by very very fast.. It's only those people who are inside will be tiring. Those who are outside will probably just find someone to date & spend their time interestingly. Anyway, we will go and come back. And when we are back, we will find another chance to be with you and be able to present you with new contents. It will be interesting. While we go and come back, please train your energy/stamina. We will also train ours when we are in there. Why do you need to train? Because from now onwards, we will be jumping excitedly. Everyone please keep your lightsticks and play excitedly with towels. Are you ready? It has been long since we did this so are you ready? Okay, let's go!
<Song 14: Shinin' On>
<Song 15: Freedom>
HK: Okay.. It's not over. Are you ready? 2nd Floor sit down! 2nd Floor sit down! 2nd Floor sit down!
<Song 15: Freedom continues~>
<Song 16: Puppy>
HK: I'm okay. Actually, I am not thinking about tomorrow (he meant he is not holding back/reserving any strength for tomorrow. He is giving us his 100% today). If I am thinking about tomorrow now, I will probably try to save my body today.
SH: So you mean those who comes tomorrow will not be able to see the 100% you? Should't it be like that?
HK: That will not be it.
SH: Oh... That will not be it?
HK: Because a human should be able to give up to 120% and above. As long as after today's concert, I can have a good meal, I will be able to do well at tomorrow's concert again right? What kind of bullshit (gae-sori = dog sound) is this?!
SH: Because you just sang Puppy /LOL/ (He meant HK just sang Puppy so he is giving out some dog sounds aka bullshit LOL)
HK: Everyone, how's it? Are you really having fun? Is it getting very hot? Those in 2nd Floor are you hot too? You don't look like you feel hot~ Are you feeling hot? What about those at the back, are you feeling hot? Uh.. That's good.
HK: Actually as we are playing like this, we are nearing the end already.. Everyone, time pass very fast here. Although we were playing really excitedly and the end is getting closer.. But everyone, you know this right? There's such thing called Encore. If everyone just call for us loudly, we will know it and come out on our own after we have changed our clothes isn't it?
HK: That's why, although I have also said this in Japan, there will be no Encore, and we will go by Part 1 and Part 2 of the concert. We don't have encore. We will have Part 1 and Part 2 to our concert. You understand this right? The ticket price for Part 1 and Part 2 is different. /What?!/ I'm sorry.
JJ: This is not funny.
SH: Thought we have Part 1 and Part 2, is there any toilet break?
HK: Uh.. There's no toilet break. There's no time for toilet break.
SH: We just wanted to go by a different atmosphere/feel~
HK: We are nearing the end of Part 1. And it has been long since we use such a big venue for concerts. It has always been in those small live house where everyone kept telling us "please save me. please save me. please step one step backwards." So we decided to have it in a big venue this time, where everyone will have a bigger space to jump around.
HK: We have been trying to hear and fulfil everyone's opinions. Trying to come closer to the front with the T-stage. Letting you hear more of the members' voices, we have that prepared too. So everyone, this concert actually holds quite a lot of meaning to us. We wanted to gain a lot of strength from it (the concert) too. To create a lot of memories too. That's why we have this prepared. Thank you for coming to play with us today. And now for the last of Part 1, there will be no smiles, we will be going very hard and rock. Can we move on with Rock? Are you ready to shake your heads excitedly? Can I believe in you? We will not go hard from the start, but it will gradually gets harder. Do you understand?
HK: Anyway, we are now ending Part 1. Thank you very much everyone!
<Song 17: Fade Out>
<Song 18: Time To>
<Song 19: Where's The Truth>
<Song 20: PRAY>
-ENCORE-
<Encore 1: Paradise>
Paradise ending "Oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh~"
HK made us do it in the following order:
1) 1st Floor only
2) 2nd Floor only
3) Lee Jaejin only
4) Song Seunghyun only
5) Choi Minhwan only
6) Male Fans only
7) All together~
<Encore 1: Paradise continues~>
HK If you know this song, please sing with us together.
<Encore 2: Who I Am>
HK: Shall we sing it a little longer?
JJ: "Oh oh oh oh oh~"
HK: One more time.
Fans: "Oh oh oh oh oh~"
HK: Thank you.
SH: I thought we will do it once more. I was already preparing for it.
JJ: Me too.
SH: Isn't it supposed to be in even numbers?
HK: Ah that's because we did it too much in Paradise, so I have shorten it here. Please don't think too much into it.
SH: I just thought we will continue.....
HK: Everyone, FTISLAND's concert Part 2, we have also reached the ending for today. Ah... Part 2 is interesting too right? Part 2 too, we have done it for almost an hour... Everyone...
SH: Shall we do a Part 3 too?
Fans: YESSSSS
SH: For Part 3, please go to youtube...
HK: For Part 3, Jaejin-ssi will do it on instalive later tonight~~
JJ: No no no...
SH: Will he do a fansign too? /keke what nonsense/
JJ: There's something else arranged for Part 3
HK: Ah.. Jaejin-ssi will continue Part 3 on his own later.
JJ: Everyone, you know the thing that I always do?
HK: Yes, he has something prepared
JJ: You can't go home.
HK: Everyone, you know right? There's something else that I promised you today. A song that has not been released, today we will sing it for you. You saw my instagram right? The title is as it is "Don't Lose Yourself".
SH: What does it mean?
HK: This is a song telling you not to lose yourself, with that kind of meaning. Everyone, did you memorise it before you came? Did you memorise? Shall we try it once?
Hongki tried singing the "Don't Lose Yourself" portion and wanted us to continue.
HK: You need to put more feel at the last line. Do you understand? Do you know why this is important? It is a song that has not been totally completed. This part, we will record everyone's singing voice from today's concert. And then we will make it into a music release with the recorded part. So, everyone will need to sing well today right? We will not be able to tune everyone's choir today. Because we can't do tuning, you will need to sing well. You understand right? Everyone is now participating in our album.
HK: We would like to make a song like this before we go to the army. Shall we practice again? It's because this is really important. Really~
Practice Round 2.
HK: You will need to do this. After the 2nd verse, you will need to come in quickly. If you can't do this right, we will have to do it again.
SH: The full song?
HK: Eh? That part only. Everyone this is important, there's only one chance. Do you understand? I'm really nervous. Please take care of us! Let's make a cool song together alright? Okay, let me present to you the unreleased song - Don't Lose Yourself.
<Encore 3: Don't Lose Yourself>
HK: Thank you. Wait a moment. We will have to do it again right?
JJ; The first part and the fourth part is wrong. And it seems like we need to teach them the melody again.
HK: The first and the fourth cannot be mixed up. /HK tries to lead us to sing again./
HK: I will do the first four lines, and everyone will follow with the next four. Just do it as how you have been doing up till now. I will start with the first four lines. You will just need to do the next four. Understand? Can we just do that portion, Minhwan-ssi?
MH: If we just go directly into it, it might cause some confusion. Let's start a little more in front, from the 2nd verse chorus.
HK: Okay, I understand. From 2nd verse chorus. Ah.. It doesn't matter if it affects the concert. We want to make a special memory. Okay, let's go.
<Encore 3: Don't Lose Yourself recording continues~>
HK: THANK YOU!
JJ/SH: It is really perfect.
HK: Just now they did well right?
JJ: They did really well.
SH: They did well. They really did well.
HK: They really did well. WOWWWWWW. Thank you very much. This song, before we enlist, we will definitely release it to you guys as a gift. Thank you. I feel really proud.
HK: Okay, as we have gathered today, let's take a group photo too.
<PHOTO TIME>
HK: Okay.. With this, today's concert has really reached the end. As everyone knows, we will have to go to the army and it will take about 2 years before we will be able to stand in front of you again. Until then, please stay healthy and always be happy. And please earn a lot too. (laughs) Please save up a lot so that you can come and play with us at concerts more frequently.
HK: Although there's a lot more that we would like to talk but most important is that we are alright now and there I don't see the need to talk more about this and that. We want to just give you the promise that we will go and come back healthily.
HK: Actually I am not sure if the album will be released or not. We are trying our best to prepare for it but it feels like a very difficult task. Everyone please do not anticipate too much. As we have met with MANY issues recently, I really wanted to sing this song. Our first debut song and it is kinda the song that made us who we are now. So I would like to sing it with everyone at the end. Those who are coming tomorrow, we will see you tomorrow. Those who seeing us for the last time today, see you 2 years later. But, if there's a chance, we might still appear somewhere before enlisting~ You know right?
HK: Thank you for so many people who came to play with us. With an enjoyable heart and good memories, please go back safely. Please have a good glass of beer. For those who are underage, please do not drink beer. Thank you very much. We will present to you with "Love Sick" as the last song.
<Encore 4: Love Sick>
/p.s. Fans did the Love Sick fan chant and made Hongki burst out laughing/
HK: THANK YOU!!
HK: Everyone... You are asking why Minari Oppa didn't speak much? He doesn't have much to say. Okay. Who will be coming tomorrow? To those who are coming tomorrow, see you tomorrow. Today it was really fun and really thank you. We will forever protect the band FTISLAND and work hard. Thank you!
HK: Everyone, please do not leave yet. Jaejin has prepared a present for you.
-END of [II] Day 1-
Part 3 of tonight's concert is Jaejin Time!
JJ: Okay, please send those who are leaving away and now you will be having a Lee Jaejin Happy Time with me. Okay, let's go.
Jaejin asked us what will we reply if he said thank you & fans suggested i love you (saranghaeyo).
He agreed, so he said "gamsahamnida" & we replied "saranghaeyo"
