On the 1st of October, Fahrenheit flew to Seoul, Korea as ambassadors for Taiwan. Yesterday, they also attended a press conference. When the 4 arrived at the airport in Korea, they were immediately surrounded by 200 awaiting fans. However, because Jiro injured his foot at the Fahrenheit concert, he was worried that he would be pushed by fans at the airport, thus, he came out in a wheelchair. Both Chun and Jiros' idol dramas have been aired in Korea before, hence at yesterday’s press conference, it was like a popularity contest, and the scene was very lively.

Same with last time’s ambassadors for Taiwan, F4’s Vanness Wu appeared in Japan with crutches. This time, Jiro is also injured while flying to Korea. However, even in a wheelchair, Jiro joked around about his posture, and this made everyone mock him for being “girly”. Calvin, who has had a Korean girlfriend before, said in Korean: “food is tasty”, “very great” and other simple words to interact with the media. However, he was not as popular as Chun and Jiro who’s idol dramas “Romantic Princess” and “It Started With A Kiss” has previously aired in Korea.

When recommending sites in Taiwan, Chun chose Kenting and Jiro chose Tansul, because both of them have been seaside strolling with their girlfriends before. Calvin and Aaron recommended Taroko and Mount Ali, respectively. When on the topic of Taiwanese cuisine, Chun highly praised Taiwan’s beef noodles and Jiro recommended mango ice. As for Aaron and Calvin they introduced salty crisp chicken and taro balls. When the host asked Chun who he most wants to work with, he revealed that it is popular Korean actress Song Hye-Kyo. Fahrenheit also got to taste lots of Korean cuisine during this trip, which include Korean barbecue, cha-chian noodles, spicy New Year cake, etc. They plan to fly back to Taiwan on the 5th.
