At the same time, in this 3 days program, there's some very interesting exclusive contents. Please do not miss our program!
Ken: Ok~ First, let us introduce this photobook. This is SS501's Dream Tour to Hawaii photobook.
Caption: SS501 Dream Tour to Hawaii
Ken: This big set of album, make a lot of people shocked. Because when you bought this set and open it up, you will be surprised that it is so big. All these were taken during their visit to Hawaii. Aloha!
Ken: Ok, let me flip to let everybody see the contents. Ok, lets see, this is Kim HyunJoong, right?
Actually, I have already flips through all photographs in this photobook. I find it very interesting, although they went to Hawaii for photoshoot, but you might not recognize Hawaii from this photographs, but you can feel them working in a place which was full of sunshine, each member portrayed a different feel and atmosphere. This is Hawaii's scenery.
Today, I will flip through this book randomly. I am also not sure whose photographs I will flip to. Let's see who has the most pages, then that person is most lucky.
Ken: Actually if you like this set of photobook, this set of photobook including the text are in Chinese. Also, because there is chinese version, you will be able to understand what are they wrote in this photobook.
This photobook is really very big and looked very cost worthy, because the 1st limited release, a poster will be given. This poster is almost same proportion as SS501 actual height. 1:1 ratio. We have one production team worker, who very like SS501, she kept buying and she realized the poster she get has replication. So what did she do? She change with other fans. However, sorry, we still could not collect the full set of poster. Do you know how difficult it is?
Ken: Ok, let see how many posters have we have collected. First, let see this, human height and such a big piece. Who is this? Looking at the clothes and you can recognized... YoungSaeng. It is almost similar to human height, it is already taller than me! Isn't it? Really, it is human height. Can you see clearly?
Ken: Ok, there's this human height poster, but do you know it is randomly placed, so you don't know who you will selected. Actually now whose poster we had not collected, lets see whether any of our audience has 2 similar posters, we can exchange with them. In this way, it will be faster. If I am not wrong, currently we are lack of HyungJoon's poster, but we had already collected 4 poster. It is really not easy.
Ken: Ok, let's see, this is JungMin. When you see JungMin you will think of 'Tian Mi Mi~ Ni Xiao De Tian Mi Mi' (meaning: Sweet like honey, your smile is sweet like honey), the last step, 'shi ni shi ni, shi ni shi ni shi ni' (It's you! It's you! It's you! It's you! It's you!)
Ken: This is the song which JungMin sung in the concert, he really make everybody laugh. Everybody like him very much.
Ken: Ok, next, let's see who else... These posters are so good, there's so many. Look at this, this is Kim HyunJoong, human heigh ratio poster. It will look great when you stick in your room.
Ken: Oh, I remembered, recently there's one person, leave a comment in my blog. She mentioned after buying this photo book, she wipe her wall very clean, and since she has 3 posters and they are very big, she kept all her things and just paste these posters only. His family members was shocked when going into her room. When have you ever seen such a huge poster and with the room nicely kept clean. Her mum thought that recently she is a bit wierd. But it is a good sign, because of this poster, you clean up your room.
Ken: Ok, next, this is KyuJong. Ok, you have seen all right? This 4 posters. After this, we have a small gift to everybody. The gift is this photobook's poster, not the one I am holding, not this.
Ken pointed to another poster which is same as the book cover.
Ken: Those that I am holding on cannot give out because it belongs to one of our production team member. These are her own collections, she collected all these by buying diligently. If you want to get the other poster, please bring out your handphone now and key in 5678 in the sms and send to 8086.
Caption: What is the name of the photo book which SS501 released recently
Ken: The question is: "What is the name of the photo book which SS501 released recently?' Ok, if you really know the answer, remember to participate and you could win this poster.
Ken: Also, recently SS501 is going to release a new album called 'Rebirth', 'Rebirth' will have a 'A' version & 'B' version. B version will be released first.
