I can't believe Nexon wants to do this sort of thing.

Let us just say there was an English version that makes it a little clearer for those of us that can't read the Chinese characters.

Not quite a bump; just adding the relevant translations. Thankfully the site was multilingual, and had a few other languages as well.
Besides from the sounds of the event, I'm guessing it would be something like a Korean version of E3. So whether or not we have Nexon popping out some keynote speeches on various properties remains to be seen.
