it's not over a hundred but over a thousand^^

They're really popular in Taiwan. I'm certain that the boys are happy with the kind of welcome they had at the airport.

Their arrival reminded me of Bae Yong Joon's arrival in Taipei too back in August 19, 2005. :)

Taiwanese fans are passionate. I'm sure there will be fans who will be going at the hotel where SS501 is staying to check [stalk] on them. ^^

SS501, who've fans have been eagerly waiting for, has finally arrived in Taiwan, over 100 fans greeted them enthusiastically; the 5 boys came out dressed in casual wear, and greeted everyone with kind and courteous smiles, immediately winning over the hearts of everyone present.

When the 5 boys were leaving the airport to board their car, they slowed down to shake hands with fans, causing a huge jam at Terminal 1, as there were too many people present, Leader Kim Hyun Joong's chest even got hit by fans. When the 5 of them boarded their car and left, the didn't forget to wave to the fans through the window, fans crowded around the vehicle, causing the traffic to come to a standstill, and required help from the police to guide the traffic.

After SS501 arrived at their hotel and had a short break, they began their string of promotional activities. Their first meal in Taiwan was a simple one in their hotel, they'll proceed to the famous Din Tai Fung for dinner, to taste the Xiaolongbao that all Korean artistes who've visited Taiwan before praise about, experiencing Taiwan's most famous delicacy. The management company also specially requested, apart from Xiaolongbao, lots of fried noodles and fried rice should be prepared for the 5 boys.

Even though it's their first time coming in to Taiwan, SS501's 3 day 2 nights visit to Taiwan will comprise of a total of 20 media interviews, their schedule is very packed, having only 1 hour to eat Din Tai Fung's Xiaolongbao, something which they've been eagerly waiting for, on the average they'll work till 11pm daily, with 1 day having to work till 1am. But SS501's members confidently express, they're young and hard working, they're not afraid even if there are more activities!

The main goal of SS501's trip is to take part in tomorrow's 7pm fan meeting at Taipei International Convention Center, the tickets for the fan meeting has already been sold out long ago, tomorrow there will also be Japan and Korea fans crossing the ocean, and take part in the fan meeting together, it's expected the scene will be extremely magnificent.

After the fan meeting, SS501 will leave Taiwan on the 29th, proceeding on to Hong Kong, their 2nd stop for the Asia Tour fan meeting.

The line "Leader Kim Hyun Joong's chest even got hit by fans" is not very accurately translated. according to the original article, the meaning is more like "someone try to touch his chest, or more like molest" haha

hello Anonymous! Leader was somehow molested? I hope you've seen the video above this post. Someone 'slapped' him. Well, I guess that's not intentional. The fan might have been too eager to touch him and missed his arm.

I wonder how the guys are? Do they have bruises?

I think there's some lapses in the security. They should have anticipated this since there are 17 korean pop idols coming to Taiwan.
