FT Island Interview In Malaysia

Hello! (annyoung haseyo)

Apa khabar~( how are you in Malay language )
Hello Malaysia, we are F.T Island!!
Thank you!

I think we need to check the sound system(host) Ah Ah Ah, yes it works (telling the host that the mike works) 

Jong hun- apa khabar I’m leader and guitarist
Jae jin- apa khabar bass jae jin
Min hwan- hello I’m drummer min hwan
Hong gi- hello F.T Island Honggi
Won bin- apa khabar I’m won bin

Question- what is your feeling of visiting Malaysia?

Hong Gi- Firstly, just like hot Malaysian weather, fans greeted us warmly so thank you a lot for that. And Malaysia is really clean and refreshing, so my condition is good. Thank you!
Won Bin- I think Malaysia is really clean and fans greeted us at airport warmly so I was really very happy. I like this country and would want to visit next time if I have a chance.
Min Hwan- Firstly, it was amazing to see many trees I didn’t get to see in Korea. I’m expecting to experience something more different and amazing here. I’m excited.
Jong Hun- We came to Malaysia for the first time and before I came here I used to think ‘I want to go to Malaysia one day’. When we came, a lot of people greeted us and treated us so kindly. I can’t wait for the concert. 

Is there anything to expect for your concert?

Hong Gi- For this concert, we have prepared English and Malay comments and songs in between the concerts. We hope that this will help us get closer to the fans. We have also prepared what we haven’t been performing in Korea concert. So please wait for our concert, Thank you. 
What places would you like to recommend us to visit in Korea? 
Hong Gi- We will answer that one by one.
(bringing the mike to Won Bin) Please start first
Won Bin- Erm, in Korea there is a place called ‘Ap-gu jeong’ in Seoul and it is a fashion town. 
Hong Gi- I would like to recommend ‘Shindang’ in Korea. In Shindang, there is this food called Teokbboki, I’m not sure if you guys have heard of it. You can taste the best Teokbboki at Shindang. Here I see someone who understands Korean is laughing and smiling now, it’s REALLY delicious. 
Min Hwan- For me, it’s Kangwon-do in Korea. You can smell the best fresh air there.
Jae Jin- For me, I would like to recommend places like Hong De because there are many Indies bands there. It will be fun to hang around there. 
Jong Hoon- I would recommend the street of Korean culture, Dongde mun. Please visit there and eat a lot of nice stuff and get nice things too. 

The first impression of Malaysia?

Hong Gi- As I mentioned earlier, the first impression of Malaysia we had is similar as what we said in first question. It was really surprising that many people recognized us and even waited for us. I really want to thank that moment. 
Won Bin- I want to thank the fans who had waited for us for so long. In the concert, we will really put a lot of effort, rather than just brining a good concert. We hope to be the one with fans during the concert. 

Hong Gi- (pointing mike at won bin) Erm, Wonbin Kun (used in addressing person in formal way) is there anything you want to eat? Anything you want to do?

Won Bin- Na..Nasi..
Hong Gi- That’s mine
Won Bin- Nasi Le?
Hong Gi- That’s mine!
Won Bin- Nasi lemak? ( coconut rice – a famous malay cuisine - )
Hong Gi- Same here.
Jae Jin- ..Satay 
Min Hwan- But that’s mine
Won Bin- We tried those together.
Hong Gi- We heard that many of our albums were sold in Malaysia. Thank you for the support and keep supporting us! 
Won Bin- We will keep trying to present different and good music. Thank you.
