We have translated the Korean Patch Notes for High Five through official means, and we are posting them here. These are the same patch notes that we test our builds from. Please remember, these are not the final patch notes, and they have not been fully tested and confirmed yet. There will likely be changes when the update goes to live servers. We have removed any references to changes that we are certain will not be in the NCWest version of High Five, such as NCstore items. Also, we have omitted certain items that have not been tested yet.
