Group FT Island new member Song Seung Hyun talks about his joining the group.
Song has been training under the same company as FT Island for 3 years. And he talks about some of the paings of joining the group, “I was really excited about it. Since my trainee days, I had little fans. But after joining FT Island as Oh WonBin’s replacement, my anti-fans got up to 2000 members. Right now, the numbers are increasing, and we are expecting the anti-fans to exceed 3000.”
“The other hyungs had debuted before me, and if I make any mistakes on stage I feel that I am doing bad to my hyungs. So for my first performance, I thought it will be the end of me if I make any mistakes. I have confidence in rapping. I’ve also learnt piano for 7 years. Now that everyone knows that I am part of FT Island, I hope that everyone will remember my name when they hear FT Island’s name.”

Bad Woman MV-FT Island
FT Island Member Lee Hongki is attracting fan's attention by talking about relationship.
Lee Hongki recently appeared on SBS 'Dating Era' and said 'Just because I am 19 years old, doesn't mean I don't know about dating."
He showed his manly side by saying "It's uncomfortable for me when a girl leads the skinship or acts to boldly. I like to lead the skinship."
Lee Hong Ki, a formal child actor and accepted to Kyung Hwee University's Acting program early decision list on 18th, confessed that "I introduced my girlfriend to my mother when I was in second year in Middle School. She [ex-girlfriend] bought fruits for the visit and my mom really liked that." Thus he proved that young age does not necessarily mean immature thinking.

KBS 1TV's new daily drama 'The Way Home' cast FT Island Choi Min Hwan said "Lee Hongki is very jealous of me. But he gives me encouragements and advice."
Choi Minhwan attended the KBS 1TV new daily drama 'The Way Home' (written by Lee Guem Lim and produced by Moon Bo Hyun) Press Conference at KBS Shin Gwan National Conference Hall on January 7th and said "I'm nervous because this is my first time doing something other than music. Members are helping me alot."
Choi Minhwan expressed his determination that "I am on drums in the group and this is my first time in something other than music. I'm nervous and scared but I'll do my best so that acting doesn't have me slack on music but helps me instead."
Team's member Lee Hongki was confirmed to appear on SBS 'Master of Studies' but with the production itself canceled, the youngest Choi Min Hwan got to debut first as an actor. When asked Hongki's response, Minhwan said "Hongki really wants to act but he supports me. He's really sad because his drama got canceled so he is envious of me as well."
When we asked if he has any difficulties with acting, he said "It's definitely a different feeling than standing on stage so I can't get used to filming. But members help me by reading the script with me."
When asked about other members' plans, he admitted difficulties that "while everyone wants to act or appear on variety shows, they don't really know how to step out from the shadow because they are used to being in the background."
Choi Minhwan, who appears as a high school student in the drama, said "If I have a goal with this drama, it is to show my face to ahjummas. Also, I want to be more well known as an actor so more people listen to FT Island music"
'The way home,' which will air after 'You are my fate' tells the story of three families that seem ordinary but hides hurt and misunderstandings. Lee Sang Woo, Jang Shin Young, Jo Yeo Jung, Shing Hyung Tak, Park Hye Won, Choi Minhwan, Otani Ryohe star in the drama that will premiere on Jan 12th.

FT Island fans are still recovering from the news of Wonbin leaving the group, but it seems like FT Island is quickly moving on.
They quickly took official photos with their newest member Song Seung Hyun and also filmed the MV for their next single "Bad Woman." To make matters worse, the new member stated that he would do everything he can to make the new FT Island much better than before. Is there any loyalty left?

FT Island's management (F&C) has swiftly replaced Oh Wonbin, with 18 year-old Song Seung Hyun, who weighs in at 60kg and stands at 180cm's tall. I guess Wonbin was pretty pretty damn expendable.
Song Seung Hyun stated:
"Since I've just recently joined the group, I will be lacking lots of experience, however I will try my best to not fall behind and will work hard to gain the love of fans."
Anyway, the idol rock band will continue as usual and will be coming back with a mini-album in February.
I honestly didn't even know who Oh Wonbin was, until the news of him quitting the group. And apparently F&C agrees. Who can blame them though, Wonbin was about as significant as a convertible in the winter. Although I've actually seen some douche bags driving around in their convertibles with the top down in this 14 degree weather, is it really necessary? Of course not. But get this dumbass a convertible, he totally earned it!
Thanks to LL and jeshicaa for the tip.

So the rumor we heard was true! It's been confirmed that FT Island's guitarist and sub-vocalist, Oh Won Bin will be leaving the team. The company explained on the 28th that even though Wonbin is leaving, the group will not remain as a 4 member team and that the search for a new member in progress. FT Island is still planning on releasing a mini album sometime in February with this new member.
According to the company, Wonbin had come to this hard decision after thinking about it for quite some time. The other members have stated that "it is sad to see him go and that we hope to be able to grow through this rough transition."
What a huge loss for the team and for the kpop scene. Seeing as how FT Island was one of the few idol groups with talent, I don't know how they'll fill up his spot. I just hope they actually get someone with the skills and the talent to carry on the FT Island name. After all, we wouldn't want FT Island to become some idol group that just uses their face to get famous.

Rumors have been popping up all over the place that FT Island's Wonbin may be leaving the group. The "Primadonnas," have already started their protesting to keep the group together. All this on their 600th day anniversary. Just a rumor or truth? Perhaps it's just all hype for the announcement of a new album, who knows. But the press conference should be taking place within a few hours, we'll keep you posted.
Thanks to Phillip for the tip.

Is actually from an accessory shop, “indah“. They have an online presence at http://www.myindah.net, but also a number of physical shops in Korea. One of them, was used as a location for Heaven MV filming last month.
According to indah’s blog, the MV filming was done on 16 September 2008, where there was only one FT Island member (the lead vocal; Hongki), filming the scene.
The filming completed in just one day (for that few second scenes only), and there were a lot of crew involved just to film that scene.
The song is from FT Island’s 2nd album “Colorful Sensibility” (Part 1), titled “Love Is”. It’s really a cutesy and light song, complete with cheeky and aegyo-ish voice of Hongki and Wonbin as vocals.
The MV is also a longer movie trailer of an upcoming movie, “앤티크” (Antique), starring Joo Ji Hoon, Kim Jae Wook, Choi Ji Ho and Yoo Ha In, as owner and employees of an antique cake shop.
The movie is a remake of a popular Japanese manga “Antique Bakery“, and it is opening on 13 November 2008.

Ft Island- The One
Thanks to their hard work, ALL THREE BOYS have all been accepted into the university, and will start coursework proper in 2009.
Both Wonbin and Jonghoon will start their new semester next year (year 2009) in Gyeonggi University, majoring in Digital Music.
Meanwhile, Hongki is going to enter Kyunghee University, majoring in Drama and Theatre, with fellow celebrities like See Ya’s Nam Gyu Ri and actress Na Hye Mi, who are doing the same major.
Hongki will be in the same cohort with other celebrities like 2AM’s Jo Kwon, Big Bang’s GD and Daesung, and Da Vichi’s Min Kyung (all of whom are doing a different major with Hongki).
Hongki will also be brushing shoulders with many celebrities who have entered Kyunghee before him (although different majors), like Rain, Wonder Girls’ Ye Eun, Park Hyo Shin, Lyn, SG Wannabe’s Kim Jinho, Buzz’s Min Kyung Hoon and many more.
Idol club FT Island completed a photoshoot with a “Photographer” concept. FT Island has been picked for fashion magazine “Marie Claire”’s photoshoot to present an idol-style innocent attitude. FT Island’s photos will be featured on Marie Claire’s December edition.
Cheerful and handsome idol band FT Island (Lee Hongki, Lee Jaejin, Oh Wonbin, Choi Minhwan, Choi Jonghoon) has been bitten by the camera bug.
At the photographing site, FT Island was very serious when taking their photos and looked like real photographers.
However, during rest time, their idol-style, bright and cheerful characters, became the mood makers at the photographing site.
Idol club innocence aside, FT Island becomes serious when it comes to music. Their special variety photos will be featured in fashion magazine “Marie Claire” December edition.
