[09.01.15][News] Shin Hyesung’s Taiwanese fans camp in cold for concert tickets

Fans of Shin Hyesung - member of top Korean group Shinhwa - battle the cold as they queue overnight for tickets for his March 14 concert at the Taipei Convention Center.

Tickets went on sale today, and already there were fans braving the cold and camping outside the box office since Monday, just to get the best tickets. The temperature has been dropping to an average of 6 degrees these couple of days, but one loyal 20-year-old fan has been queuing outside for 3 days, armed with only a sleeping bag. She said, “I’m worried that the tickets will all be sold out, so I came earlier just in case. I’ll be there at the airport when he arrives too.”

Shin Hyesung has visited Taiwan together with the rest of his group mates in 2000, and even then there were already hordes of fans on their trail.

However at that time, their schedules were packed, and he was left with no time to take in the sights of Taiwan. Shin Hyesung said that after watching the SBS drama On Air telecast last year, showcasing scenic spots like Jiufen and Sun Moon Lake, he hoped to be able to explore Taiwan. “It will be my first solo concert in Taiwan, and it’s a little lonely. I hope I can come here again with the other Shinhwa members.”

The first 100 fans to purchase his NT$3,200 tickets will be able to take part in a fansigning session. For more details, please log on to Era Ticket’s official website (www.ticket.com.tw)
