Korean version of "Boys over Flower" is currently airing in Taiwan, and led by F4 member Kim Hyun Joong, SS501's Taipei fanmeeting initial sales on the Dragonboat Festival was great, selling more than 90% on in 1 day.
After organizer Brook Brothers announced SS501's Asia Tour Fanmeeting in Taipei will be held on June 28 at Taipei International Convention Center, Taiwan fans have been excited, even Japanese, Korean and European fans have said they'll fly over to support them, all competing to snatch for tickets. This resulted in many fans queuing overnight outside various Rose Records stores, causing only 300 tickets to be left out of the 3100 tickets on sale on the day of the Dragonboat Festival.
According to representatives from Warner Music and the organizer, who flew to Korea recently to have a meeting with SS501, the members not only welcomed them graciously, leader Kim Hyun Joong enthusiastically invited everyone to eat the fried chicken he models for, Kim Hyun Joong's warm and generous nature, is as if Yoon Ji Hoo-sunbae from "Boys over Flower" appeared.
Recently, the fried chicken brand that Kim Hyun Joong models for is currently holding a "Looking for Kim Hyun Joong's girlfriend" activity, and upon hearing the slogan "Simply buy fried chicken, and have a chance to be Kim Hyun Joong's girlfriend for a day", this caused a popular craze of eating fried chicken among Korean women. When SS501 heard that "Boys over Flower" OST album sales exceeded platinum sales within a week of sales, they felt very shocked and happy, and are extremely looking forward to their visit in June.
