SS501 Album Sales Red Hot
Year End Bonus... Record Company Worries Not


To create awareness and hype for their concert in Taipei tomorrow, Korean boy band SS501 greeted their Taiwanese fans in Mandarin during the press conference today. The record company said, SS501 albums have achieved outstanding sales performance in Taiwan, and their year end bonus this year will have to rely on SS501.

SS501's album sales in Taiwan have achieved five platinum records, and they held a celebratory media event at the Sherwood Hotel this afternoon. Warner Music's president for the Chinese market, Sam Chen presented the five platinum awards to the five members, who were immensely happy.

Sam Chen shared that amongst the Korean artists, SS501 has achieved the best performance within the shortest period, and that "Warner staff's year-end bonus will have to rely on SS501."

At the press conference, leader Kim Hyun Joong showed none of the tender and sad image of Rui Hanazawa (from BOF), and put up a tongue-twister item and became the spotlight amongst the media. He said that the new album puts together everyone's effort and they have achieved breakthrough in terms of visual and audio aspects. For instance, this is the first time he's sported such a short hairdo, and the other members wore smoky makeup, and he hoped that everyone would like it.

As for tomorrow's concert, Kim Hyun Joong shared that the special item that they will be presenting for the Taiwanese fans will be member Park Jung Min's rendition of the Chinese song, Tian-Mi-Mi (甜蜜蜜, literally translated into sweetness).

Park Jung Min said that he's already liked this song even from before. he also hummed part of the song at the press conference, which won the applause of all present.

SS501 will be holding their SS501 Asia Tour - PERSONA 2009 Taipei Concert at the Taipei Arena tomorrow. Other than presenting the entire program as per the Seoul leg, they will also be performing song/s from their new album, as well as one new song which has not been released to the public previously.
