[News] FT Island, Will Hold Concert As Planned

FT Island will hold their concert as planned despite the increasing number of swine flu cases.

FT Island will be holding their concert at Seoul’s Jangchung Gymnasium, on 14th and 15th November. South Korea’s government has declared red alert against swine flu. Despite that, FT Island’s management company, FnC Music will work together with the event organiser, to increase the precautionary measures to fight against swine flu.

Besides the basic hand washing facilities, the other precautionary measures include setting up of temperature scanners at the entrances and exits of the concert venue, so that people with body temperatures higher than normal will not be admitted into the hall. In addition, a disinfection tunnel will be set up at the entrance so that everyone who enters the venue will be free from viruses.

They will also make sure that medical service is readily available so that any suspect cases can receive checkup and treatment right away.

FT Island revealed that, “It will be a pity if we do not carry on with the great performance due to swine flu. Even if the costs have to increase, we hope that everyone can still enjoy our concert without worrying, as we have set up precautionary measures.”

It has been quite some time since the members of FT Island are coming back together on the same stage to do a performance for their fans. Lee Hongki is currently filming for the SBS Wed-Thu drama “You’re Beautiful“, while Song Seunghyun is active in various variety programmes. Lee Jaejin, Choi Jonghoon and Choi Minhwan are doing activities for their unit group, FT.triple.

[news] Cast of You’re Beautiful buoyed by fan support

CR: Via Sports Seoul, Star News, Arts News + javabeans

Fan support has been ardent, to say the least, for the SBS drama You’re Beautiful and its young cast. The drama’s lead, Jang Geun-seok, had expressed feeling disappointment that the ratings remain lower than hoped for and that he’d felt responsible as the main cast member. In reaction, fans to jump into action to show their love of the drama.

As you may know by now, he’d written a message to that effect on the drama’s homepage last week, saying, “I wonder whether the reason for the ratings being lower than we thought may be because I’m not portraying the Hwang Tae-kyung character as fully as I could be. If not, maybe the drama isn’t receiving more love because of me as Jang Geun-seok.”

After learning this, Jang Geun-seok’s fan club mobilized both on- and offline in full force to show their overwhelming support. His fan club forum is overrun with supportive messages. Fans also got together and delivered the cast and crew a buffet meal on their film set, which served 100 people. (The photos above and below are from that buffet lunch on October 30.) They’ve also sent presents like vitamins and letters rooting on the production.

Jang expressed his gratitude, saying that he was cheered by all the support by fans who are “like eels who give me energy.” (Eels are relatively expensive and eaten with the belief that they give added energy and stamina.) He added, “I’ll do my best through the end with a grateful heart.” His co-stars Park Shin-hye, Lee Hong-ki, and Jung Yong-hwa said, “Thank you for loving our Geun-seok hyung.”

Meanwhile, on November 2, Lee Hong-ki wrote his own message which he posted on the drama’s website, asking for fans’ continued support. His message read, “Our You’re Beautiful team filmed on the weekend from morning till night. We began filming in September, and already two months have passed and the drama is half over. I feel the difficulty of the actors and staff as we see the drama air scenes we had shot the day before. Even with the tough schedule, as I see the staff who are always smiling and our truly praiseworthy lead actors Jang Geun-seok hyung, Shin-hye, and Yong-hwa, I feel really secure, and coming to the set is a lot of fun.”

He added, “After I finish shooting the drama as Jeremy, I will return to FT Island as Hong-ki, and I’m busy preparing for our concert on the 14th and 15th. I’m working hard on the drama too. Everyone, please give a lot of support to You’re Beautiful through the end.”

The drama has confirmed that it will end on the 26th with Episode 16. Note that this is NOT a cut-down of episodes, and I think the number is probably appropriate for this story. The production had left the door open in the beginning to extend the episodes to 20, but that was always going to be an option only if the drama proved to be a ratings hit.

[news] FT.triple Reveals Their Hidden Talent

CR: DongA News + ying1005 @ primanoona (translation)

“We’re just like an egg of FT Island. We will do our best to become the framework of FT Island.”

An interview was conducted with members of FT Island’s sub-unit group, FT.triple, consisting of Lee Jaejin, Choi Minhwan and Choi Jonghoon. They started the interview by revealing the resolution of the band. The 3 members are currently doing promotions for their “Two Date” album, which is part of the “Double Date” 2CD album that was released earlier on 26th October. FT Island’s vocal Lee Hongki is currently filming the drama “You’re Beautiful“, while member Song Seunghyun is active in various variety programmes. FT.triple revealed to Sports Donga on the day following the release of their album that, “Don’t think of us as a separate group of FT Island. Think of us as an extension group instead.”

The biggest difference between FT Island and FT.triple is the vocal. Lee Jaejin, who has been playing the bass all along, will be holding the vocal position in FT.triple. He will also be the main vocal of FT Island until Lee Hongki returns to the band after his drama filming. Thereafter, he will return to his original bass position. He also made lots of improvement in his vocal abilities after participating in the musical “Sonagi“.

“When FT Island was formed in the beginning, I practised for both the bass and vocal. However, after Lee Hongki joins the band, I feel that more practice is needed for me. Lee Hongki has a sentimental, sad and husky voice, while mine has a sturdy feel. Our vocal styles are totally different.” (Lee Jaejin)

It’s only natural that the band’s vocal receives the most attention. So this is a chance for the 3 members to showcase their talent since they have not been receiving much attention for the past period. Choi Jonghoon who has been playing the guitar, will be in charge of playing the piano in FT.triple.

“We think that it’s a good chance for us to showcase our talent. It is our sub-unit group’s aim to bring across a different image of the band. I have been playing the piano since young, but after joining FT Island, I switched to playing the guitar.” (Choi Jonghoon)

Their title song is “Love Letter“. It is a song that expresses the worries and concern for an ex-lover, written in the form of a letter. Lee Jaejin’s vocals for the song is soothing. Other songs in the album includes “멀리멀리“, which has a light and also “꼬집어봐도“, a song with smooth melody, showcasing Lee Jaejin’s singing abilities.

Though feeling worried and excited at the same time, the members said that the feeling of standing on stage now is just like that of a newcomer. “Rather than seeing it as a competition with other singers, we just want to do our best in our own performance.” (Choi Minhwan)
