Seunghyun Lee and Minwoo Kang interview

This is the 2nd fan meeting in Japan. How was it?

Seunghyun Lee _ I remember I was very nervous at the first fan meeting but really happy to be warmly welcomed by our fans. I’m still nervous this time too but more relaxed. Today’s menu is Japanese food. I’m very excited. I’ll do my best.

Minwoo Kang _ First, I came to Japan for the performance and then, through having this kind of meeting with fans who love Universal Ballet, I have now an attachment to Japan. And today, I’m looking forward to this Japanese food dinner at Shibuya.


Please give a message to all the fans who love Universal Ballet.

Seunghyun Lee _ Thank you for your constant support. Even though we can’t  meet directly, I always feel your warm support.

Minwoo Kang _ The first meeting at Shin-Okubo and this time, at Shibuya. We’ll probably have a 3rd meeting chance. Hope we’ll meet soon. First I have to cure my injury and prepare for the performance. I’ll do my best.
