F.T Island has returned to Korea with their 2nd mini album Beautiful Journey after a year since their last Korean release. They’ve been met with successful results in their Japanese promotions and even held their first Japanese tour concert, bringing in over 20,000 fans.
Our Japanese promotions went a lot better than we thought. We’re satisfied on every level excluding the fact that we all gained about 6 kg (laughter).”
Song Seunghyun introduced their mini album by stating, “We haven’t changed our music color that drastically in our new album because we tried to think of the people that would consider us unfamiliar if we changed anything.”
Then what does F.T Island mean to these individuals? The majority of them answered by saying that it’s destiny.
Choi Minhwan replied, “My existence in this team is pure luck. Being able to meet such great members and great people to form such a group seems like destiny to me.”
Lee Jaejin laughed while confessing, “I was actually able to join the group because they thought I looked good on camera. I don’t think that I’m superbly talented, actually. I just learned everything I know musically.”
Song Seunghyun asserted, “F.T Island is destiny to me as well. I think it’s just fate that I’m able to work as a musician like this. It’s been my dream since I was little. Fate to me is never passing up the opportunities that come my way.”
Lee Hong Ki stated, “I want to promote as much music possible under the name of FT Island. The members are participating in individual activities but I’d like to become a band like the Shinhwa seniors where we all come together for concerts.”
With their satisfaction regarding their Japanese promotions, Lee Hong Ki didn’t forget to give advice to the many Korean girl groups that are overseas as well.
“I think it’d be good to show as much of your talent as possible and I hope the experience allows them to learn a lot of things. I learned a lot as well from our Japanese promotions. It helped me realize that I’m really nothing special in the big picture. Japan has a highly developed band culture as opposed to the Korean market and people are a lot more used to street bands. I truly learned a lot about music.”
He went on to conclude, “Lastly, I’d just like to advise them to enjoy what they’re doing instead of trying to create something. Wherever they go, whatever stage they stand on, being able to perform your own music without anxiety and truly enjoying it is all there is to it."
