During the press conference, a reporter asked, “MBLAQ iscurrently holding a concert at the same time as you are. Do you feel like theyare your rivals in any way?” to which SHINee responded, “We’re very close tothe MBLAQ members. We have actually been talking a lot about their concert.”

They continued, “We invited MBLAQ to our concert, and inreturn, they invited us to their own. But we discovered that it was being heldat the same time as ours, so we were really disappointed.”

Member Jonghyun added, “That’s why we joked amongstourselves that we should end our concert quickly and go see the MBLAQ concert,”showing just how close the two groups are.

SHINee, currently wrapping up their Seoul concert, will headto Taipei, Singapore, and major cities in Asia to continue their tour.
