[FT LYRICS] FTISLAND 9th Mini Album ‘SAGE’

001. SAGE Composed by: Yuzuru Kusugo, Satoshi Shibayama Lyrics by: Lee Hongki, Lee Jaejin

[KOREAN] 지나간 시간 속 깊이 빠져 있어 아무렇지 않게 기억 속을 헤매 시간에 갇혀 멈춰진 나를 봐

누군가 말해 줘 나에게 현명할 수 있도록 짊어진 모든 걸 내려놔 외면하지 마 다시는 Set you free Set you free

나를 위해서 남겨 놓은 그곳에 닿으면 펼쳐질 눈부신 그 세상 너머로 Lead you I can go with you

더 크게 소리쳐 저 세상에 외쳐 멍하니 서럽게 울고 있던 그때의 나를 잊고서 내 길을 걸어갈래

남겨진 페이지 더 그려질 페이지 우리 안에 많은 걸 채워 나가 볼 거야 멈추지 마 새롭게 태어날래

사라진 기억 속 웃고 있는 우리 아무렇지 않게 순수한 멜로디 생각을 멈춰 지금의 나를 봐

모두가 말해 줘 나에게 현명하게 살도록 짊어진 모든 걸 내려놔 눈치 보지 마 다시는 Set you free Set you free

한여름 밤 꿈처럼 바람에 닿으면 펼쳐질 눈부신 그 세상 너머로 Lead you I can go with you

더 크게 소리쳐 저 세상에 외쳐 멍하니 서럽게 울고 있던 그때의 나를 잊고서 내 길을 걸어갈래

남겨진 페이지 더 그려질 페이지 우리 안에 많은 걸 채워 나가 볼 거야 멈추지 마 새롭게 태어날래

내 무거웠던 마음을 잊어버리게 더 힘들지 않도록 내려놔야 해 I won’t fade away

늘 바라 온 시간 늘 꿈꿔 온 시간 언제나 나를 위해 반짝이는 커다란 별들을 향해 날아갈래

더 크게 소리쳐 저 세상에 외쳐 멍하니 서럽게 울고 있던 그때의 나를 잊고서 내 길을 걸어갈래

늘 바라 온 시간 늘 꿈꿔 온 시간

[ENGLISH] I'm lost deep in the past, wandering in memories. Look at me stuck and frozen in time Somebody please tell me to be wise and put down all the weight on my shoulders. Don't ever turn away again. Set you free Set you free

Once I reach the place that's left for me, To that shining world and beyond, Lead you I can go with you

Get louder. Shout to the world. I'm going to forget the old me, who stood still and cried, and go my way

The remaining page, and more pages to come I'm going to fill out all the things within us. Don't stop, I'm going to be born a new We are smiling in the faded memory. That innocent melody. Stop thinking and look at me now Everyone is telling me, to be wise and put down all the weight on my shoulders. Don't ever mind what others think. Set you free Set you free Like a mid-Summer night's dream, To that shining world that'll stretch in the wind, Lead you I can go with you Get louder. Shout to the world. I'm going to forget the old me, who stood still and cried, and go my way

The remaining page, and more pages to come I'm going to fill out all the things within us. Don't stop, I'm going to be born a new To forget my heavy heart, To help me get by, I'll have to put it down I won’t fade away

The time that I've always hoped for. The time that I've always dreamed of. One day, I'm going to fly towards the gigantic stars that are shining bright for me. Get louder. Shout to the world. I'm going to forget the old me, who stood still and cried, and go my way

The time that I've always hoped for. The time that I've always dreamed of.

003. I'M STILL HERE Composed by: Lee Hongki, IL, Changhyun Lyrics by: Lee Hongki, IL [KOREAN] I don’t know if you are still If you are the same I wouldn’t know 모든 게 변했어 난 아무것도 할 수 없어

이 밤에 깃든 추억들이 하나둘씩 떠올라 천천히 눈 감고 I’m Still Here

그리움에 잠 못 드는 밤 어떻게 널 잊을 수 있을까 아직 난 힘든데 For love for love

한순간도 잊을 수 없어 너는 날 밀어내고서 사라지고 있어 You’re still my love

떠나 버린 시간들을 되돌릴 순 없겠지 후회만 남은 Love 난 아무것도 할 수 없어

이 밤이 지나 너와 내가 하나둘씩 사라져 천천히 눈 감고 I’m Still Here

사랑한다 더 외쳐 보면 어쩌면 널 찾을 수 있을까 아직 난 힘든데 For love for love

한순간도 잊을 수 없어 너는 날 밀어내고서 사라지고 있어 You’re still my love

I don’t know if you are still If you are the same I wouldn’t know 모든 게 변했어 I’m Still Here

[ENGLISH] I don’t know if you are still If you are the same I wouldn’t know Everything changed. I can't do anything

One by one, I remember the times embedded in the night. I slowly close my eyes, I’m Still Here

The night when I can't fall asleep, How can I forget you? I'm still struggling, For love for love I can't forget you not even for a second. You've pushed me away, and is disappearing. You’re still my love I know I can't bring back the times that passed. Love filled with regrets, I can't do anything The night passes and one by one, we disappear. I slowly close my eyes, I’m Still Here If I shout I love you, will I be able to find you? I'm still struggling, For love for love

I can't forget you not even for a second. You've pushed me away, and is disappearing. You’re still my love I don’t know if you are still If you are the same I wouldn’t know Everything changed. I’m Still Here

004. BROKEN Composed by: Lee Jaejin, Lee Wesoo, Lee Taehyun Lyrics by: Lee Jaejin, Lee Wesoo, Lee Taehyun [KOREAN] What do you want For me or for you What do I want 나도 모르겠어

특별한 답은 없어 그저 이렇게 그 손만 치워 주면 나는 행복해

I know what I’m trying to do I gotta run I gotta run I gotta run I gotta run I wanna run away run away away

아무것도 아무 일도 신경 쓰지 않을래 아무렇게나 춤을 춰 정신 따윈 잃은 채

What do you want 그만 좀 해 줘 What do I want 그만 좀 할래

특별한 답은 없어 그래 그렇게 그 입만 치워 주면 나는 행복해

I gotta run I gotta run I gotta run I gotta run I wanna run away run away away

아무것도 아무 일도 신경 쓰지 않을래 아무렇게나 춤을 춰 정신 따윈 잃은 채

[ENGLISH] What do you want For me or for you What do I want I don't know either There is no special answer. As long as you just put away your hand, I'm happy

I know what I’m trying to do I gotta run I gotta run I gotta run I gotta run I wanna run away run away away I'm not going to care about anything and everything . Dance freely, Go crazy

What do you want Please stop. What do I want I'm done. There is no special answer. As long as you just put away your lips, I'm happy

I know what I’m trying to do I gotta run I gotta run I gotta run I gotta run I wanna run away run away away

I'm not going to care about anything and everything . Dance freely, Go crazy

I gotta run I gotta run I gotta run I gotta run I wanna run away run away away

I'm not going to care about anything and everything . Dance freely, Go crazy

005. NOT ENOUGH Lyrics by: Lee Hongki, Lee Jaejin [KOREAN]

다시 또 몸을 돌려 너를 뒤에 둔 채로 축 처진 어깨 뒤로 멍하니 숨을 멈춰 아침이 밝아 오고 시간은 흘러가고 아무 감정도 없는 내 모습이 느껴져 끊어진 우리 대화 어차피 뻔한 결말 너 혼자 하는 사랑 따윈 그만할래 우린 반복된 이별을 말하고 화를 내고 지금 이대로 끝을 내 맘이 또 아파 와도 We'll be over, so it's over 더 이상은 내 목을 조르는 사랑은 싫어 I'm Not Enough for you No, Not Enough for you I'm Not Enough for you No, Not Enough for you 지금껏 말해 주던 나를 위한 말들은 숨을 쉬는 것조차도 잊게 만들고 있어 아침은 밝아 오고 난 또 어두워지고 금방이라도 이별을 말할 것 같은데 똑같은 우리 대화 어차피 뻔한 결말 너 혼자 하는 사랑 따윈 그만할래 우린 반복된 이별을 말하고 화를 내고 지금 이대로 끝을 내 맘이 또 아파 와도 We'll be over, so it's over 더 이상은 내 목을 조르는 사랑은 싫어 I'm Not Enough for you No, Not Enough for you I'm Not Enough for you No, Not Enough for you You'll never break up 슬픈 척하지 마 널 떠날 수 없다는 건 착각이니까 우린 끝났어 눈물 흘리지 마 사랑 없는 사랑의 마지막 순간인걸 우린 이대로 이별을 말하고 끝을 내고 지금 이대로 끝을 내 맘이 또 아프지만 We'll be over, so it's over 더 이상은 내 숨이 막혀 죽을 것만 같아 I'm Not Enough for you No, Not Enough for you I'm Not Enough for you No, Not Enough for you

[ENGLISH]

I turn away again, Leaving you behind me. I pause my breath, behind your hunched shoulders The morning comes, The time passes and I feel emotionally numb. Our conversation is over, The ending is obvious, I'm done with this one-sided love We talk about breaking up over and over again, Get angry, And call it quits, No matter how much it hurts. We'll be over, so it's over I don't want a love that chokes me I'm Not Enough for you No, Not Enough for you I'm Not Enough for you No, Not Enough for you All the words that you said that were for me, are making me forget how to even breathe The morning comes, My mood darkens, and it looks like we are about to talk about a goodbye again... Our same conversation, The obvious ending, I'm done with this one-sided love We talk about breaking up over and over again, Get angry, And call it quits, No matter how much it hurts. We'll be over, so it's over I don't want a love that chokes me I'm Not Enough for you No, Not Enough for you I'm Not Enough for you No, Not Enough for you You'll never break up Don't pretend like you are sad You are delusional to think that I can never leave you. We are done. Don't shed a tear This is the last moment of our loveless love We talk about a breakup and end it all Even though my hurt aches again, We'll be over, so it's over Otherwise, I'm going to suffocate I'm Not Enough for you No, Not Enough for you I'm Not Enough for you No, Not Enough for you. 006. RISING STAR (ft. G.O.P) Composed by: Lee Hongki, IL, Changhyun Lyrics by: G.O.P I see your color You're in my head I can feel you in my heart The moment of the day we dreamed It's the time we want and feel We are the dreamers Run for dreams Watching the world with different eyes We look all different but do you know That we are all the special ones If the light doesn't shine in front of us Or the light goes out too fast than thoughts We'll stay in the brightest moment of the darkest night tonight (tonight) Rising Star Let's dance all night long Let's enjoy the night together Never done Rising Star No regrets in my life I believe the choice I made never done Rising Star Rising Star We are the Rising Star Life is always in the dark Life can't be full of happiness If when you feel alone and cold Remember this moment Let's shout it out I am the best I am the king I am the one who runs my world We always live with a little joy, forgetting the bigger pain of life Even if we fall down a few times It's ok just never give it up Remember the person who is always bright Who doesn't fall down but who stays up Rising Star Let's dance all night long Let's enjoy the night together never done Rising Star No regrets in my life I believe the choice I made never done I just want to give up The words that I've been saying every time I don't want to regret I will go on everyday Rising Star Let's dance all night long Let's enjoy the night together never done Rising Star No regrets in my life I believe the choice I made never done Rising Star Rising Star We are the Rising Star

Where is this place full of bright lightbulbs and neon signs? It’s where FTISLAND hangs out away from the heat and a set for FTISLAND’s 6th mini album ‘WHAT IF’ album jacket. 

It’s been a while since we last saw all 5 of them together. But the members seem relaxed and comfortable like they are family. We caught Jaejin playing with Jonghun’s hair during the shoot~ Shall we check out how each member enjoys a summer night at FTISLAND’s hangout place?

Jonghun mindlessly waits for the shoot to begin. Once shutters come on, he leans against the wall and eyes the camera like a professional. His low gaze makes him look like he is really missing the girl he met in a ‘Summer Night’s Dream.’  

Hongki waits while fooling around with cameras. He then suddenly picks up a pair of yellow tinted sunglasses. And when the shoot begins, his eyes and gesture become serious! He shows off total opposite charms like Baron Ashura from ‘Mazinger Z~’ It must be a 12-year veteran idol’s dignity to look his best in front of a camera.

Next up is Jaejin, who looks more natural than other members! He really pulled off a cute and free image with a comfortable robe fashion and messy hair. If he waits with those eyes of Puss in Boots, wouldn’t the girl who silently left him in his dream come back immediately? 

Seunghyun made our busy camera stop during a group shoot. When he smiles, he looks like a cute baby. But when he makes a serious face, he looks so manly~ While we were disappointed that we couldn’t see him smile, we fortunately caught him smiling while monitoring his own picture!

Sleeping beauty Minhwan..? He looks so handsome even with his eyes closed. Did he fall asleep to meet the girl in his dream? But your highness...you shouldn’t sleep here!!

So what’s up with these brick walls? What happened to the comfortable hangout spot? Where is this place that looks and feels hot with golden skies and green leaves? We moved out here to capture the jacket concept more freely!

All 5 members began with outfits that might get featured in a street fashion magazine. It may look like they are just standing. But you do know that’s the most difficult pose, don’t you? The five men look relaxed and cool at the same time! We are excited for this outdoor shoot. 

The summer-like prints and patterns on their clothes make us want to get away! With the sun starting to set in the background, this really feels like we are going towards a summer night. But we had to shoot very fast to capture this sunset. The members’ professional posture and expressions allowed us to capture the perfect background. 

The moment I first saw you~ The moment that shined~ My heart skips a beat just imagining Jonghun~ Jonghun’s attractive gaze that makes me want to take a walk with him on a summer night! He makes me dream of taking a walk with him on a beach while listening to ‘Summer Night’s Dream.’ 

Check out Jaejin sporting a sky blue Hawaiian shirt. He looks like he is thinking of someone. Hiding behind the wall, he looks like he is wondering “could I get close? Could I love you?” 

When the sun was almost down, a summer night’s party began!  With a sparkler in both hands, members started the last shoot. They said they’ve rarely got to play with fireworks and were very amused. Pretty sparks blended well with the pink sky to make a prettier picture!

FTISLAND members are excited over sparklers like kids! Maybe it’s because they got to play this time. They looked more excited than ever. If earlier shoots focused on relaxed and cool looks, this cut captured members’ bright smiles~ If you want to check out more pictures, FTISLAND ‘WHAT IF’ get get! Hurry! Hurry!

We caught Minhwan also having fun with his sparkler. He seems to be thinking hard about something watching the sparkler burn. What is he thinking about?

‘Summer Night’s Dream’s’ hot jacket shoot finished with hot fireworks! Don’t these pictures make you want to go away on a summer night’s trip with your friends? What not listen to FTISLAND’s ‘Summer Night’s Dream’ on the way? Please look forward to FTISLAND’s comfortable and friendly 6th mini album ‘WHAT IF’ and its title song ‘Summer Night’s Dream!’ *** Source. Melon + DJ. Pri @tumblr.com ;; Twitter @ChocopieK

[FT INTERVIEW] 180410 Livedoor

Even Japanese Celebrities Focus On Them! We Approach FTISLAND’s Pranks and Natural “Humaneness.” What a mischievous bunch. FTISLAND is a Korean rock band but they are fluent in Japanese. During the interview, they suddenly started talking about sexual contents and continuously went off topic. But their humaneness and love for a band captured the hearts of many Japanese celebrities, starting with ONE OK ROCK. FTISLAND’s biggest charming points are main vocal Lee Hongki’s heart stirring singing voice and their boundless LIVE performance. In their 8th album『PLANET BONDS (released April 11th) and the following tour, we hope you see their kind humaneness.  

Which Member Is Like An “Avocado?”

―― When it’s been 8 years since a major debut in Japan, you are pretty much done with new interviews. But this is your first time with Livedoor. We want to know about you. Let’s start with guitarist Seunghyun.

Hongki:  After drinking, we went straight to Seunghyun’s place. It was so messy. If I was a girl, I’m never going back (Laughs). He’s that kind of a person.  Seunghyun: Ah... I’m sorry

―― ^^ What about drummer Minhwan?

Jonghun: He may not look it but he is filled with emotions. Jaejin: And he’s manly...he is very patient, tries hard to understand the other person. He’s a cool guy. 

―― What kind of a person is leader & guitarist Jonghun?

Hongki: He has a sensitive heart. Like a jelly or breasts?

―― Hongki, please refrain from sexual content during the interview ^^

Hongki: Eh---!

Jaejin: Isn’t he more like an avocado than a jelly? ―― What do you mean?

Jaejin: I think he is hard on the outside but soft on the inside with a hard seed in the middle, just like an avocado.

―― I see. That’s a good comparison What about bassist Jaejin?

Jaejin: Jaejin is a good person! Minhwan: Don’t talk about yourself (Laughs). Jaejin is the brain of FTISLAND. He always comes up with good ideas. Jonghun: (After using a translator program) He is a hedgehog. Minhwan: Ah, I know! He usually hides his weapon but can strike anytime. Jaejin: I’m a man who does it when I need to!

―― And finally, how is vocal Lee Hongki? Jonghun: He is a hamster. If you just look at him, he looks nice. But he is very clear on what he wants to do and what he doesn’t want to do. So he just keeps doing fun stuff. 

Hongki: I’m not a cute animal like that. I’m a chameleon! I keep changing. 

Acknowledged by Korea’s Legendary Singer, Hongki’s Vocal

―― It’s been 8 years since your major debut in Japan but 11 years in Korea. I’m asking this late but how did you start as a band?

Jonghun: I can’t dance so I couldn’t be an idol (Laughs). But I was always interested in music. But doing it alone isn’t fun so I thought, it’d be fun to do music together as a band. That’s how I started. 

―― Starting with drama『You’re Beautiful,』Hongki has been doing music and acting. You actually acted as a child. Why did you want to be a singer instead of an actor? Hongki: Because I was good at singing (Laughs). In middle school, I went to noraebang every day and everyone told me I was really good at singing. So I sang at a school festival and got recruitment offers from various places. My current agency is one of them. At that time, I was losing interest in acting so I thought it’d be nice to be a singer. 

―― If you hadn’t sang at the school festival, you may have not become a singer. Also, who is your most influential artist or song?

Hongki: Korean artist Im Jaebum. His singing voice warms my heart. He is called ‘Rock Daddy’ in Korea. He is a legend. He told me, “you are my son.” He also invited me to many TV shows.

Jaejin: Lee Hongki! Hongki told me, “you are my son.” He said he’ll always take me to LIVE. (Laughs) Hongki: Hey, don’t copy me (Laughs)

JH: For me, it’s British rock band MUSE. But I prefer their old songs over recent ones. 

MH: I like American rock band Hoobastank. Before debut, we went to see their LIVE. It was my first time seeing them and I nearly cried. 

Seunghyun: I’m influenced by Japanese artist Ozaki Yutaka’s ballad songs. They really touch my heart. I also like ‘Forget Me Not’ remake by Shimizu Shota. 

From Arata Mackenyu to Ayano Go, FTISLAND Has Many Japanese Celebrity Friends. 

―― In『Primavera』released in 2015, FTISLAND collaborated with ONE OK ROCK’s Taka and the two bands’ friendship is famous among fans. What do you talk about with ONE OK ROCK members?

Hongki: We talk a lot about music. We ask about the music we are doing now and songs that we are working on. 

―― In February, ONE OK ROCK had a concert in Korea. Hongki: Many Japanese bands are doing LIVE in Korea lately. Taka told me, “I’m going to Korea. I want to see you.” But I couldn’t go to the LIVE because I had a shoot for drama ‘Korean Odyssey.” The shoot ended around 3:30 a.m. so I went to see him briefly. So I ended up going straight back to the drama set without sleeping (Laughs). Jaejin went to the LIVE. 

―― How was ONE OK ROCK LIVE?

Jaejin: There are many Korean male celebrities who are fan of ONE OK ROCK. So I went to LIVE with them. It was great. It’s one of my TOP 5 LIVES. I’m not in a position to judge but I want to tell him, “it was great!” ―― Which part of LIVE did you like? Jaejin: When we do LIVE, we don’t put cameras on stage. But ONE OK ROCK shot from the stage and showed that on the screen. Seeing that, I thought cameras aren’t as distracting as I thought. The video of fans singing together looked pretty. I want to try that at our LIVE too.

―― You found a hint for your LIVE. 

Jaejin:Yes. I can learn from other band LIVEs.

―― I want to hear about your friends. At last December’s『FNC KINGDOM IN JAPAN』actor Arata Mackenyu came to see your LIVE.  

Jaejin: That’s right. I don’t have any younger friends so Mackenyu is cute (Laughs). A friend introduced us and we became close. Mackenyu isn’t like a party animal. I think he just really likes to chat with a bunch of guys. He is cool, works hard and has a clear idea of what he wants to do. Even though he is young, we stay as friends. 

―― Hongki calls actor Ayano Go “girlfriend” ^^  Hongki: Not just Ayano Go, I have many Japanese celebrity fans. A friend introduces me to his friend so I got to know many of them (Laughs). I think we are good at Japanese because we made many friends in Japan. But it’s hard when they all come to Korea. 

――  Why?

Hongki: I’m speaking Japanese in Korea. But when a Japanese friend comes to Korea and introduce him to my Korean friend, I have to translate Korean and Japanese (Laughs).

―― That sounds hard. Earlier, you talked about ONE OK ROCK LIVE in Korea. It doesn’t look like a band culture is that big in Korea. What benefits do you think Japan have for bands?

Minhwan: Japan has many rehearsal studios. I’m jealous of that because there aren’t that many in Korea. From big concert venues to small stages for amateurs, there are countless options in Japan. But there aren’t even that many LIVE houses in Korea. So there’s not many opportunities to see bands. I’m sure there are some kids who don’t know about bands. You only see idols on TV.

―― If Korean children tries to do a band, where do they practice? Minhwan: A school or a church. Jaejin: In Korea, a street called Hongdae is the music street similar to Simokitazawa in Japan. But it has very few studios and LIVE houses.

Gaming in PC Room, How They Enjoy Japan.

―― You’ve come to Japan several times. How do you have fun in Japan? Seunghyun: I went to a PC room in Nagoya to play a network war game that I’m addicted to (Laughs). The members said they’ll come later so I made an appointment and got there first, downloaded the game and waited. I often go to a PC room in Tokyo too. 

―― You come to Japan and still play a game?

Seunghyun: Yes (Laughs). I do think I should stop when I’m in Japan but other than that, I’m the happiest when shopping, taking a walk, drinking craft beer and eating delicious food. 

―― In Korea, bottled beer is the main alcohol.

Minhwan: I don’t really go out...But when I come to Japan, I want to eat ramen or natto.

―― Can you eat natto?

Minhwan: Yes, I really like it! I always eat natto before LIVE. Jonghun: I often go to art galleries or art exhibits.

―― For your first Indies album『So long, Au revoir』released in 2009, Jonghun painted the jacket picture. What do you paint lately? Jonghun:　For『So long, Au revoir』I painted a moon. Now, I’m drawing a star. I don’t just draw space. 

―― Jaejin?

Jaejin: I enjoy local Japanese food like Misonikomi udon in Nagoya. I like food that doesn’t exist in Korea. It’s like with green vegetables and has sticky white balls in the middle...(Draws a picture).

―― Ah, that’s okura. Jaejin: Okura is delicious. Ah, you can find it everywehre in Japan (Laughs).

―― Hongki? Hongki: I enjoy going out for a drink with friends. I sometimes drink Japanese alcohol. I like Highball. 

「If you keep the bond, you can reach your dream」The Message In The Album

―― 8th album『PLANET BONDS』comes out April 11th. What message is in the title song 『Hold the moon?』

Hongki:　I wrote『Hold the moon.』 It’s main theme is “hope” and “dream.” “BONDS” in 『PLANET BONDS』 means ties. There are many kinds of ties. FTISLAND met by ties. We included the message that if we keep the bonds, we can reach the moon, which represents our dream. In『PLANET BONDS』jacket, we are going up the staircase to the moon.  

―― I see. Where will FTISLAND go in the future? Hongki: We’ll buy about 3 buildings and tour via a private jet. (Laughs). 

―― The album has 10 songs. Please tell me your favorite song and recommend the best time to listen to it. Hongki: Mm~ I like all of them... Once you listen to『SAYONARA,』its melody and lyrics will stay with you but...I guess I have to pick『Golden.』I hope you listen to it when you lose self-confidence. I wrote its lyrics. It goes “yourself is the most handsome, the coolest.” I hoped it’d boost self-confidence. There are ups and downs in life. When there are good times, there are also bad times. But you are still the coolest so you don’t have to worry. 

―― Then the lyrics are based on Hongki’s real experience. Hongki: That’s right. I like myself the best so I trust myself the most. I get angry when I fall but I get up in the end. I went through several of them in life but I try to forget the bad right away. I don’t drag the past along. I hope everyone does the same. 

―― Jaejin?

Jaejin:　『Skyway.』I recommend you listen to it while showering in the morning. It has good beats and it’s a very romantic song.

Jonghun: I pick『FLOWER ROAD.』All the members sang it and I hope we sing it together at LIVE. Minhwan: I also pick『FLOWER ROAD.』

Seunghyun: I like『SAYONARA』 and Jaejin’s 『Dancing on.』It’s fun to perform『Dancing on.』I look forward to performing it at our next LIVE. Minhwan, isn’t it hard to drum for Jaejin’s song? Minhwan: No problem! Jaejin: As expected, FTISLAND’s drum is so dependable!

――Following the album, arena tour『FTISLAND Arena Tour 2018 -PLANET BONDS- 』begins April 26th. FTISLAND’s charm is always LIVE! Hongki: Yes, we only have LIVE. I think our LIVE applies ointments on our fans’ heart. I think it’s healing. 

―― Which song from the album would be the most fun to play at LIVE? Hongki: We haven’t done it yet~ Every song is different. Some songs can be more fun to listen to than when performed LIVE. So we don’t know until we try them. I’m looking forward to everyone’s reaction!

[FT INTERVIEW] Allure Korea, January 2018: Rock Chic

<Lee Hongki’s Kiss The Radio> DJ, <Night Goblin> comedian, <Hwayugi> actor and forever an FTISLAND member, Lee Hongki’s delightful days.

Knit top (J.W. ANDERSON BY TOM GREYHOUND), Fur Coat (KYMER)

Top (CALVIN KLEIN), Checked Jacket (PAUL SMITH), Pants (PRIV. SPOONS.CLUB), Fur Slides (EMU SLIDES), Socks (Stylist item) When Hongki walked into the studio, he was carrying a small trunk with a baggage tag. He had just returned from a solo concert in Japan. If this is not the life of a star, what else can it be? Lee Hongki had recently finished a few permanent programs, FTISLAND’s 10th anniversary Europe tour and solo concert in Japan. He is always honest and direct. The only time he hesitated was when we asked what’s his favorite program lately.

“What should I say? I love all of them. I like the radio and <Night Goblin> because I’m close with all of its members and the show is doing well. But I also can not talk about the drama that’s about to air...”

This unique and charming man’s clock is expected to tick away in the new year.

We met between 2017 and 2018. How was 2017?

2017 was really busy. It was FTISLAND’s 10th anniversary and I wanted to spread our name. So I said I’d do everything that calls for me. So I got invited to many variety shows. <Night Goblin> came first and because I found the format to be really funny, I thought it’d be fun. It really is.

Today’s concept is ‘celebrity’s life.’ I asked the stylist to dress you like Elton John and you pull off fur coat really well. For the selfie concept, I saw you take an actual selfie and upload it on Instagram.

That wasn’t a photo shoot. It was a time to take a selfie. (Laughs) When I heard that this is about showing a concept, I said I’ll do it for real. I don’t even really look at scripts. I like facing situations as they come. But that fur coat was super heavy.

Aren’t you too trusting of people? How do you know what’s going to come at you?

I trust myself. I change a lot based on each moment. If the mood isn’t good, I can’t do well. My pictures don’t turn out well. Today was really fun.

This concept was inspired by drama <Hwayugi>. It’s your first drama in 3 years and you are back on a top star role.

I acted a celebrity several times but each one was different. In this drama, I go back and forth a lot but it’s a likable character. I signed up for <Hwayugi> because its synopsis was fun and I worked with Hong sisters before.

What is it like to act a celebrity as a celebrity?

It’s actually hard. I don’t really live like that.

But you’ve seen a lot; admirable and not.

Since I see a lot, I do incorporate them to my acting. I tend to imitate my friends and seniors. First of all, I hate two-faced people. I also don’t like people who don’t listen to others. I can keep talking to those people but if they refuse to listen...that’s too bad. I admire people who are kind of sly but likable at the same time. Those type of people always give back what I give. So I can’t dislike them.

Ha ha. Is someone like that in FTISLAND?

Nope. Not in FTISLAND.

Don’t you have dynamic fans? You have FTISLAND fans, musical, radio and drama fans. How do you interact with all of them?

I’ve always been thankful of my fans so we’ve stayed close like friends. Sometimes, I post things like “I’m going to delete this in 5 minutes but I’ll buy meal for whoever comes here in the nest few minutes!” I really eat with them after that. We argue on SNS. But now, I have drama and musical fans so they all say different things. Some fans say, “I hope you keep acting in dramas. When will you do a musical?” I just have to do well with whatever I do.

I enjoy listening to ‘HONGKIRA’ while driving. Many guests come on the show. You are an excellent host.

Before, it was always about me. I used to think that I needed to be happy and satisfied for everything to succeed. But while hosting a radio show lately, because all of my guests are juniors and younger friends, I found myself changing. I want to make them feel comfortable just like how my seniors treated me. I can be more understanding because we work in the same field. 

Blouse: (YCH), Coat (JUUNJ)

Top (COS), Pattern Suit (SEWEINGBOUNDARIES), Jacket (CUSTOMELLOW), Sneakers (NIKE)

What do you want to say to the rookies?

I always say this. If you are a group, you have to unite first. The most successful member in the team shouldn’t change. But that’s not just up to that member. Everyone needs to help. And that successful member shouldn’t be proud. If you are successful alone, you are nothing.

I can’t imagine you were a nervous type even when you were a rookie.

No. There was no reason to be afraid. I enjoyed everything from the start.

You have an honest image. That can start scandals. Do you have any fear or regret?

There’s nothing I really regret. I get disappointed for not doing it. But I say everything after I think about it. I ask myself multiple times, can I say this? I can, right? 

It’s not easy for a celebrity to be honest.

I sing and act because that’s what I like. But people call me a celebrity for that. But it’s not like celebrities are obligated to follow rules. Sometimes I ask why I did this. But if I put it that way, there’s nothing I can really do. I did try to fix myself. But then I thought I was going to die.

Do you tell your juniors and friends to be honest?

No, I tell them to purify it. (Laughs). I say, I was honest but don’t be like me. I tell them to just be true to their image. For example, I had a junior who didn’t get a break for 2 years. I told him to ask for vacation like “if you give me a vacation, I think I’ll be able to work harder.”

Oh, is that how FTISLAND earns vacations?

No, I pick a date and ask them to not schedule me for anything that day!

I have to ask about musician Lee Hongki. How was the solo concert in Japan? You came here directly from there.

It was a mini live and it was really fun. I had something happen in that past and that made me be afraid of doing things alone. Yesterday, I had 2 shows on a Thursday and 5,000 people had to come to each of them. I was scared nobody would come on a weekday. But the venue was full. I was really thankful. At the end of my concert, I asked them why they came. They said for my song.

That must’ve been heartwarming. Isn’t that the best answer for a musician?

To my relief, they said for my song and I was really happy. So I said, “I can forever sing a song that you want to hear. But if you want beyond that, I can’t promise you. That’s because I could date many people and even though I’ll follow the law, I could party. I don’t really understand a celebrity’s fate. My dream is to be free and I want to live freely. But I’ll sing forever.”

That means you could betray them but never with music.

Yes, I got a long applause (laughs).

You also went on a 10th anniversary Europe Tour, didn’t you?

We went on our first Europe tour 3 years ago and it rocked. So many fans said they couldn’t get tickets so we rented a LIVE house with 300-400 seats and performed for them while drinking. But it’s hard to do a Europe tour because their prices are different. We got to go this time because we said, “we don’t care about getting paid.” We visited 6 countries over 2 weeks. It was so much fun.

You have so many songs now. It must be hard to put together a set list.

We don’t perform songs that the company made. The songs we did when we were young. I make all of our set lists. I think its ridiculous for a company to make it. I imagine how we are going to get to the next song after this, how we are going to rearrange it, how we are going to interact with fans, the mood...etc. I check all of them, discuss with the members and finish the set list.

Where do you think FTISLAND is musically?

We still have a long way to go. I like that music has no end. When I feel like I’ve come to a certain point, I keep meeting more talented people, new sound and new performance. So it’s amazing, fun and I have to continue studying.

Are you sensitive about how your song does on charts?

I don’t care about that. There are songs I don’t care how they do online, and there are songs I want to do well.

It’s not easy to be in a team with same members for 10 years. What’s your secret?

FTISLAND members get along well with each other and everyone is nice. When I was young, my seniors always told me that many bands disband because of their vocal quits. So I decided I won’t be like that. I like performing the most. I really enjoy the 5 of us performing together. So I don’t want to break this.

Do all 5 of you have the same musical direction?

No, that’s impossible. If you listen to our albums, each member has a different musical color. We color it FTISLAND together. Jaejin’s song can turn out different if I sing it. I may be singing them but it’s important to FT-fy them.

What do you dream as a musician?

It’s always the same. To be a ‘rock star.’

What’s Lee Hongki’s rock spirit?

Freedom. Not the rough kind but a peaceful freedom. Peace. I hate being complicated.

How will you be spending 2018?

I’ll have to be busy until I enlist in the army. Now that Soohyun (Kim Soohyun) has gone to the army, I feel like I need to start getting ready for it. I want to be the singer and actor that people can wait for. I want people to ask, “is Lee Hongki done serving yet? I want to hear his song again.” That’s why I plan to work even harder.

How will you describe today’s shoot with 3 SNS hashtags?

First of all, #OffEarly. I had so much fun that it ended fast. And #FurCoat #Allure_MustHave

[PRI-LOG] Rapper Dindin: Hongki Is Really Manly

“He is among the most awesome people I know. He is really manly.”

That’s rapper Dindin talking about FTISLAND’s Lee Hongki. On MBC Every1 ‘Video Star’ aired on July 11th, Dindin praised Hongki’s loyalty.

Dindin said he and Hongki are really close and they often go out drinking after their radio. One night, they went drinking with a group of friends in Hongdae. After their get together, Dindin was sending people home in a cab. That’s when he said a really drunk person came up, slapped Dindin in the back of his neck and shoved him, telling him to get in the cab. 

Dindin thought the person recognized him, so he responded carefully. But the drunk person pushed him into the cab. Dindin didn’t know what to do. 

Hongki then stepped up and told him, “you are doing well lately. You have many on air schedules and shot many commercials already, so just go home. I’ll take care of this. Go home.”    

Dindin said he was also worried about Hongki since Hongki is also a celebrity and he didn’t do anything wrong. Hongki went up to the drunk person, held his hand and said, “I think you had too much to drink. That guy went home now so you should to.”  Like that, Hongki took care of everything. *** Cr. DJ.

[FT EXCERPT] IZM Blog: Super Rock Great Meeting

Finally Able To Quench A Little, Their Thirst For LIVE Stage In Korea I was personally most curious about FTISLAND. There was no doubt about their skills since they have been regularly performing LIVE in Japan, but I didn’t know about their overall mood and completeness. Overall, they were already a completed band. Their setlist excluded all of the hit songs in Korea and only included songs from after their 5th album and songs released in Japan; it was full of confidence and ease. While they presented a breathless energy with ‘Pray,’ they called for audience participation with ‘Champagne’ and lead the mood without any major difficulty. Having a popular frontman like Lee Hongki was also a charm. But what made FTISLAND really shine was members’ perfect collaboration. From ‘Identity,’ and ‘1,2,3,4′ to ‘Orange Days’ duet with Spyair Ike. I believe it was also a meaningful time for FTISLAND because they got to perform their Japanese songs. When it came to being able to explode at moments notice, FTISLAND was much more talented than any other group. Their stage went beyond my expectation and made me hope that they get more opportunities to share their music in Korea.  *** Cr. IZM + DJ. Pri @tumblr.com ;; Twitter @ChocopieK
