N: so to be able to show those performances now makes me really happy.
Kevin: He feels a little bit nervous right now, but he's still excited to show you stages that they haven't been able to show you before.
Kevin: Yes, and American fans are really awesome, right? What do you think is the most appealing thing about Americans fans?
Kevin: What do you like about the American fans?
Hongbin: It'd have to be, since we're performing, whenever we're performing on stage they dance with us and vibe with-- I think the best part is the feeling that we're all performing together--
Kevin: They love how you guys are so energetic. And whenever they do concerts here in the States you guys give them so much energy and you guys just, like, dance along with them. He loves that.
Kevin: Alright, I have another question for you guys. You guys always impress the fans with new concepts for every comeback.
Kevin: They're, they're kings of concepts, right?
Kevin: Yes, uh, every time you comeback you come back with a new concept. Up until now, uh, what's been your favourite concept?
Kevin: What's your favourite concept that you've released so far?

Kevin: Vampire! Hyuk: Yeah. Kevin: Oh!
Kevin: Do you guys like the vampire concept?
[audience screams in agreement]

Hongbin: Uh, I'm happy with my body. I'm good.
Ken: It's okay~~
Kevin: Yah Honbin was like, "Oh, I like my body."
Kevin: "I, I'm satisfied with my body, yah."
Kevin: Uh, does anyone else have something different? (a different response)
Kevin: Other group members-- everyone likes their own bodies?
Kevin: You guys like your own bodies? Ken: Yah! Kevin: Yah?
Kevin: Alright, speaking of bodies though, I have to ask you. Starlights have been wondering who is the buffest member these days?
Kevin: Uh, the thing Starlights are most curious about is which member has the best body these days. The member who's especially working out a lot these days...
N: Uh, recently, uh, Ravi's really been working out a lot. Kevin: Oh! N says that Ravi's been working out a lot these days.
N: So, uh, the food... the food too, he eats based on his workouts too. And-- Kevin: Oh, he’s been on a diet to work out, yah.
N: The contours (on his body) are really amazing. Kevin: Ah yes, he thinks that his—he really respects his mindset. Alright...
Kevin: You guys are really excited to see their concert right?
[audience screams]
Kevin: Uh, and also, if possible... I’ll ask you to talk a bit about, kinda, your aims for this concert...
Kevin --they prepared a lot of stages for you guys, so please give them lots of love.
[audience screams]
Kevin: Alright, next up we’re gonna play a, a rolling dice game with the members.
Kevin: Yes, next we’re gonna play a rolling dice game.
Kevin: Uh, this is how it’s gonna work. We’ve got a dice right here and they’re gonna roll it. And once it lands on a number there are missions prepared for the guys.
Kevin: Just a moment, please.
Kevin: Uh, the missions are favourite k-pop song. Uh, and also they got aegyo... uh, it’s kinda hard to see aegyo from them right?
Kevin: And also random dance, switched parts, favourite pop song, and sexy dance.
[audience screams]
Kevin: Please show your fans some aegyo. Ravi: a-ha-hah...
N: Suddenly people are taking lots of pictures. Kevin: Suddenly all the cameras came.

[VIXX - "Dynamite" plays in background]
Umu: Sooo, I just got out of-- let's wait for this to focus.
Umu: Anyways!
Umu: I'm gonna keep talking even though the video's blurry. This camera takes forever to focus.
Umu: Alright, just saw VIXX at the-- I had a, um, audience pass special thing for their meet-and-greet.
Umu: And, uh, as you can see in the video I got caught.
Umu: You know, you know, it was worth it. It was worth it. I got most, I got-- I was able to film most of booth.
Umu: My, my, arms are dead. Even holding up this camera at this height is killing me.
Umu: Um, I am now trying to find the other reactors. No freaking idea where there.
[arrgghhhhhh of recognition]
Umu: Hello!
Umu: And, uh, yeah! Just seeing them in real life is just really, really... shocking.
Umu: Like, I thought I was gonna cry just thinking about them, I was, like, crying myself to sleep with happiness.
Umu: But I didn't! I just kinda started shaking real bad. And, like, gaping and stuff.
Umu: Cuz, holy shit.
Umu: Um, the meet-and-greet-- I really, really liked the Toyota booth a lot better than the meet-and-greet.
Umu: Cuz the meet-and-greet you're soooo much further away from the stage unless you have Hi-Touch.
Umu: And EVERYONE'S lifting their phone, so I don't know.
Umu: I had to show up, like, about three hours before they showed up at the Toyota booth. But it was worth it.
Umu: We got really good, really good standing spots.
Umu: Um, showed up about an hour before the meet-and-greet and got *not bad but not great* spots
Umu: So... Alright! Time to find the reactors and eat some food and then it's meet-and-greet with you guys.
