Q4. Difference between 1st and 2nd concert in Korea
Taeyeon : "Obviously, we were very nervous at the 1st concert. However, I think we are actually enjoying the stages this time and I believe this is the reason why fans can go wild during the concert. Maybe it's because we already experienced 14 Arena Tour concerts in Japan."
Sunny : "I think we are a bit relaxed on the stage now."
Q5. Feelings about the overseas fans
Sunny : "We feel a delightful and novel sensation by overseas fans and I think this is the reason why we can perform better stages. I really hope we can meet with overseas fans more often. Thank you all!"

Q9. The first Japanese full album, which was released on June 1st, is still on 2nd place of the Oricon chart. What is the secret of being loved for a long time?
Seohyun : "I think Japanese fans received energy and impression through direct communication during the arena tour concerts which were held for 14 times in Japan. We will try hard to hold a lot of stages and try hard to communicate directly with overseas fans."
