Videos from SS501 Presscone from Liberty Times

Before I start posting Persona in Taiwan related stuff, let me just share these videos I found on SS601.com. These are videos of the press conference that was held yesterday.

As you know I can't understand Chinese, I hope that someone will be kind enough to give us details of what these video is all about. Thanks!

SS501@16 Oct 2009 REBIRTH Press Conference Part 1~Libertytimes



Translation by Summer A


MC: Welcome to taiwan! Welcome to our YS, HJL, KJ, JM as well as HJB! and our translator!
Their albums have been selling extremely well(she used a slang from a dialect in hokkien ^^) and have achieved the recognition of platinum status. but how many platinum do we actually have? And for this, we'll have to invite the high ranking staff from the album company, please give a warm welcome and applaud to warner music's CEO, *inserts name*

CEO: in our department, they have achieved the best sales and they are the only korean artiste who have achieved five platinum albums in the shortest time. *repeats himself* in the shortest time! the most important thing is that they have achieved the best result in the shortest time - 5 platinum.

MC: Five Platinum Records! [Eng] FIve Platinum Records{Chi]. Please allow our CEO to be a representative to present this to our SS501.
And of course, for tomorrow's concert at the Taipei Arena must be filled with anticipation, to conquer Taipei for the first time((:


SS501@16 Oct 2009 REBIRTH Press Conference Part 2~Libertytimes



Translation by Summer A


MC: Jung min to sing a chinese song?
JM: *nods* Yes yes yes.
MC: really?
JM: good good good. [i think he was trying to say some random chinese words ^^]
MC: can you do it?
JM: it's true!
MC:really? you can see that my expression is very surprised! you're going to sing a chinese song! so what chinese song are you going to prepare for the taiwanese fans?
JM: tian mi mi (literally means sweetness)
MC: tian mi mi?
JM: tian mi mi.
MC: at the mention of this, we must ask them to follow the customs of the country and show us some chinese skills! and let's start from jungmin who is full of confidence and filled with talent for languages. okay jungmin, you first.
JM: do you ng-ng everyday ( ng-ng is a discrete way asking if you have excreted - oh gosh, this is so embarrassing i dont really know how to translate it.)
MC: yes, i do. i do ng-ng everyday. haha! but you have to tell him that if you say this in taiwan, you will not be able to get a girlfriend. *speaking to translator*
JM: ohhhh!
MC: then how about hyun joong, what sort of chinese is going to show us?
HJL: bye. [he said bye in chinese ^^]
MC: you haven't sung and you want to say bye!
HJL: see you tomorrow.
MC: ah! yes yes, see you tomorrow! after you have sung tomorrow, then you say goodbye.
HJL: ah. okay.
MC: so it's "see you tomorrow" then "good bye" (in chinese when we say goodbye, it literally means see you again."
HJL: *repeats after MC*
MC: yehh. good, okay. we have prepared a tongue twister here.
YS: *performs tongue twister* (which was about being vegetarian on certain days of the chinese calendar ^^)
MC: wow! perfect!
JM: *sings the chinese song*
MC: wha, so sweet!
