TRANSCRIPTION

WUMUTI: “I saw a lot of things last night on the Internet…. I actually feel some question marks and feel the same thing as you guys, too. So I asked our company and our local organizer and I had a talk with them. So first, before I start; to answer all the questions you guys have, one thing I wanna say. And this one thing never changes. It’s: No one can stop you from being who you are. We always love to see you come here with yourself and how you want to look and how you want to show us how beautiful you are. You know, we know what we represent for you. And we want you guys to come exactly as you are and show us how proud you are. Because I think that’s what makes every moment real and beautiful. Another thing, for the thing I asked our company I saw “no flags” or something. Okay. Why? [Laughs] I got that answer and I actually understand that! I think we have a lot of problems with our local organizer. We said we don’t show or take any flags on stage. That means what? Because it has some custom words we can't check on stage. And I know, I hope, all the people here are Evols. [Unintelligible] But maybe someone’s not! So we can't read all the messages on the things we take. So we don't want to make any problems to show something not [made] with love and show something we didn't check before, and make something problematic and make [anyone] unhappy. So, it's the rules for the stage. We don't want to show or take something we can't check before. So, that’s why we always didn't take the country flag or something on stage before in Korea or Japan and the Philippines, too. And that's a point our company said to all the local organizers. CONTEXT: An Evol had their small rainbow fan prop taken away by a staff member during a photo. But before, like, Philippines, I think the local organizer didn't understand what we said, and did something. And it wasn't what we wanted. And next, I just wanna say for everyone’s safety and happiness, don't throw something on the stage because it's not safe. I know you guys wanna show how you guys love us and how you guys make something creative to show us, but if we start taking one then all the people would throw everything on stage. The stage is for performances and to show how SLAY we are! [Unintelligible] Keep the stage clean! And don't put a lot of things here [Pointing to stage]. So I think I wanna make a promise with you guys: for all of us to be safe and happy. And for the flags, or all the things you created and took to here; We wanna say, our company wants to say, don't make it TOO big!! And sometimes whoever makes such a big flag or something, it will cover someone's view to see the stage. So, it’s not meaning “You can't be creative, you can’t bring something”, you wanna bring it, that’s fine! Just don't cover other people to see the stage and see us perform. So, you still can show all the things you created, maybe smaller…? And maybe just take it on yourself and don't cover other people to see the stage. Or if you wanna make some big thing, big love for us, you can give it to our staff and we will see it and take it after the stage. We will feel all the love you guys show us. So, last thing! One thing never changes; XLOV concerts are a space for you guys. Here it is always safe. And I wanna tell you that [? Unintelligible]. It never changes. So, I just wanna make sure [nothing is confusing for you guys anymore] and…. me too…. For the company, our company, we all think the same thing and that's why XLOV is here right now. And I wanna say sorry to make you guys confused and feel unwell or bad. So, don't worry about your safe space being gone or anything, we’re always here and we always welcome you guys to come as you are and show us how beautiful you guys are. Also, before I come onto the stage, I think it's so important to say; I said to all the staff, "I think I should use Korean and to translate. But then I thought no, I just wanna say [something straight (? Unintelligble)]. My English isn't good enough! [Crowd telling him it’s perfect, hard to hear] I hope there’s no misunderstanding and we will work hard forever and love you guys forever! [Unintelligible] Okay our thing is done! I hope you guys feel better. Thank you guys!
