[ENG TRANS] 2NE1 and FTISLAND's clashing arrival to Taiwan: Ticket sales lost (to FTISLAND) by 1000

PLEASE TAKE OUT WITH FULL CREDITS. THANK YOU ^^

Caption: FTISLAND has a large fan base in Taiwan

Korean boy band FTISLAND, set to perform on 15 and 16 December at the Taipei EXPO Hall 2 for 2 consecutive concerts, opened sales of a total of 10,000 tickets yesterday morning at 11am. Although the girl group 2NE1 opened their ticket sales 2 minutes later, (FTISLAND) still forged fantastic results with 90% sales, winning 2NE1, who sold 8000 tickets, by 10%.

Caption: 2NE1 does not go with the style of a pretty girl. Rather, they pursue the path of a healthy image. 

Specialty of attracting female fans 

2NE1 is Korean boyband BIGBANG's female hoobae; they veer towards hip-hop dressing; their fans are primarily female. They will arrive in Taiwan next month on the 16th, and they will stand on the Taipei Arena. 80% of the 10,000 tickets have already been sold.

2NE1 tickets are sold via ERA ticketing system and nation-wide FamilyMart convenience stores' FamiPort; FTISLAND tickets are sold via nation-wide 7-ELEVEN's IBON.

HK: Hello

Bot: Hello, I am tvN news’ reporter

MH: How old are you? Do you like me?
JJ: Which part do you like (about me)? Is it a secret crush? Where are you from? Do you live alone?
HK: Do you live alone?
All: Hahahahaha
HK: Ah, Jaejin, you’re really weird~

Bot: Please calm down. Please prove that you’re FTISLAND, do me a favour 

(Hongki starts singing)

Bot: I heard that amongst the idols, you’re the most playful band, is that the truth? 

JJ: It’s the truth

Bot: How much do you spend when playing? 

JJ: Everytime we play, out of 10m won, we spend 15m won? It’s equivalent to a large-scale movie!
SH: In that sort of situation, we won’t save money...
JJ: That money, our Hongki-ssi will come up with it!!!

Bot: I heard some rumours that the members will drink and puke? 

JJ: All of us will!
All: Hahahahaha
JJ: We will all puke, but our looks (while puking) are different. For me, I’ll look like a dragon spewing fire (laughs)
HK: Jonghun is like a hydra!

Bot: When the FTISLAND members are in love, who has the bad boy style? 

HK: Jaejin!
JJ: Lee Hongki! Lee Hongki!
MH: Jaejin hyung is the bad boy style, Hongki hyung is the evil boy style!
HK: Jaejin, once he gets sick (of her), he dumps her!
JJ: Excuse me! I’m really speechless. These words are really... it sounds like I’m begging! Ya, (my image,) what do I do!!

(Anger explosion)

JJ: Once I get sick, I dump? Women are not objects! Don’t scold my woman!

Bot: Let’s move on to the next question

JJ: Ah-ing~

Bot: How come Lee Hongki-ssi has not had a single scandal? It looks like it’s all secret dates

JJ: No! There are a lot that the company prevents!

(Jaejinnie, nice shot!)

Bot: Then, amongst the members, who has the most number of dating experiences? 

JJ: Don’t you know it! Ah, what are you asking... You obviously know, but you still ask!
HK: Me? Me? Isn’t it Jonghun? You can’t lie like this!
HK: Excuse me! If you continue to ask this sort of useless things, I’ll hang up

Bot: Can I call again next time? 

HK: Don’t! Don’t!
HK: Nah, if friends are not around, it will be fun.

Bot: I’ll call again next time

HK: Yes, you’ve worked hard

Author's comments: 

I went for the M&G just to see Hyunwoo together with a few friends. Went a little early and got bored while waiting for time to pass, but I'm thankful to have made friends there. Hyunwoo came across as being very shy and quiet. I was a little disappointed that he didn't put across that bubbly character when he was on stage... But then again, I would say that it's because he didn't feel absolutely comfortable speaking in our native languages. 

I also have to say that some most of the fangirls are a little (too?) enthusiastic? And that it kinda intimidated Hyunwoo too, because he didn't really expect that he would draw such a large crowd. Heh. He's cute alright, but I think I'll be happier to see him comfortable and jumping around on stage, hehe! From doing bbuing-bbuing to other aegyo poses and acceding to various requests from the audience, Hyunwoo responded to nearly all the requests which were given to him by the fans and MC. 

In any case, I'm looking forward to whichever K-pop event is coming up next! :)

이현우 화이팅! 차은결 화이팅!

Special mention to Fitri, Cheryl and friends! It was nice to meet you all :)
