SS501 Fan sign meeting in Taiwan on 18 October?

2 monthes ago I blogged about a new Photobook of SS501 'SS501 Photo Album in Hawaii' selling by GMusic Taiwan. It is also selling in YesAsia now. You can preorder here. Price is US$61.19.

Description of this Photobook from YesAsia:
"The top boy band in Korea, SS501 reigns supreme not only in the pop scene, but also in the arenas of theater, hosting, dancing, and acting. Each of the five members has displayed his impressive talents and versatility. Park Jung Min is praised for his performance in the musical Grease; Kim Kyu Jong, Kim Hyung Jun, and Heo Young Saeng, as the subgroup "Triple S", have charmed fans with the mini-album U R Man; leader Kim Hyun Joong stars in the 2009 TV megahit drama Boys Over Flowers. In addition, the five members take turns to DJ the radio show SS501's Music High.

SS501 has flown to Hawaii to shoot the group's first official Chinese photo book. The book shows readers the different characteristics and personalities of the five members. Besides the exotic pictures taken entirely in the Hawaiian scenery, the book also includes the members' own autobiographies, detailing from their childhood upbringing, life's happiness and woes, to what they think of love and themselves, their self expectations for the future, and their heartfelt feelings for the fans.

The photo book comes with one SS501 life-size poster (from a total of 5 versions) randomly packed in by the publisher."

While surfing the TSTW forum yesterday, I saw news regarding possibility of SS501 holding a fan sign meeting in Taiwan for their 'SS501 Photo Album in Hawaii' on 18 October. The rumour started from this poster of Kingstone Book store.

Looked at the circle part in the picture at the lower right hand corner.
It is written:
SS501 [ALOHA!梦游夏威夷 写真集签名会]
-> 10/18 敬请密切期待!

Translation:
SS501 [ALOHA!Dream Tour in Hawaii Photo Book Fan Sign Meeting]
-> 18 October Please look forward!

After the last fake news of ticket sales, Mini UFO decided to fly around to scoop for more information before releasing any further information. These are the result of my information collected.

1. There's some which said the Fan Sign Meeting is to be held at the Taipei Breeze Center (台北微風廣場) according to information from shop keeper of G-Music.

2. When surfing at TSTW, saw a posting which was posted around 1pm by a TripleS today. She mentioned that she called up G-Music to check on the time of the fan sign meeting and was informed that the fan sign meeting will be cancelled!! She called up Taipei Breeze Center later, they also confirmed that the fan sign meeting was cancelled!

3. Originally, I heard that the organizer was supposed to be Brooks Brothers, then later the TripleS mentioned that she called up G-Music and was informed that the organizer is actually Warner Music Taiwan.

Hmm..... so what is the conclusion? Wait for the official announcement as usual. Anyway, whether there will be a fan sign meeting or not, I guess they will have to release within these few days. It could be the organizer is still under discussion with DSP, but as usual, news always leaked out before any final confirmation.

Remember the Malaysia fan sign meeting, it was also released almost at the very last minute. Also, it doesn't mean that when there is a fan sign meeting, you will definitely able to get a signature. They might limit the number of person to sign like the case of SS501 Malaysia fan sign meeting. I can foresee queues started from few days ago for the fan sign meeting since for the previous Taiwan fan meeting they even queue 1 week ago in order the get tickets to take photographs with SS501! Let's just wait for final confirmation from the organizer.

Anyway, Mini UFO don't fly around for nothing. Here's some photographs from the photobook.
