My savage king. Hongki just keeps it real.
Happy birthday to my first love and birthday twin Lee HongKi 😍😘😘🎂🍰🇨🇳🐑
Road to Ithaca ep.5 [eng trans]
Hongki felt that the PD team was being petty on purpose, because the view kept raising so they were thinking of a way to cut their allowance. Hongki: If they're like this, I'm going to raise the views even more. I'm going to contact all of the famous idols that I know to help us promoting our videos. The other rockbros: Yes! I'm also going to do the same. Let's raise our video views even more! -> Rockbros with hongki as the marketing captain vs the PD team
The PD team really got frustrated, as due to the extra marketing efforts, the view was raising more than they expected. The PD team: Can't you guys stop here? Hongki: lolol what are you talking about??
Dohyun suddenly had a song inspiration, and hongki got inspired to write the lyrics for it. Watch the video for hongki's singing + guitar, accompanied by junhyun's belly drum
Rock Bros become 4! HW: We were super serious when it was just the 2 of us. We got brighter and energetic after Hongki came. Now we are all laughs and smiles.
HK: Hyung, can we eat something like this? DH: Like what? HK: Like this one We are at a port city
HK: This is gonna be so good with bread (Price: 32 lira) HK: I heard mackerel is so good here DH: How much do we have left? HW: 214 lira HK: Can we eat this and practice the rest of the day?
DH: I'll just order a coke. Eat whatever you want HW: I'll just have a glass of water JH: I'll go get some air
HK: Sea bass, yeah JH: I thought you wanted mackerel (고등어) HK: What is this? Sea bass? JH: That's sea bass (농어). Why is this sea bass HK: They are all sea bass
When HW asked for more water and DH worried water wasn't free... HK: It's free? Waiter: Yes, free HK: The English words we use the most here are "It's free?" and "discount"
HK's dramatic reading of JH's travel diary from 16 years ago - This journey is like the first. I must not be impatient. It's not a tour... It's a journey
HK's dramatic reading of JH's travel diary from 16 years ago - I'm far from ready but let's thoroughly plan tomorrow everyday! I'll have so many regrets... as always. Let's make one day at a time. D-2!
HK: OMG THE LAST PART!! (RESUMES DRAMATIC READING) Tomorrow I'll clean the house and read about the history and culture of Turkey Greece and Egypt. Wait for me, Sun!
Rock Bros start practicing for 'Man is Ship, Woman is Port' by Shim Soo Bong. Baby Hongki struggles with it because he's not familiar with the song. It came out in 1987...
'Man is Ship, Woman is Port' by Shim Soo Bong - HK gets it wrong. HW gets it wrong DH tries 1 on 1 lesson with HK. HK: This is hard JH: It'd be weird for someone your age to do well HK: It was hard at the beginning…
HK & DH on-the-spot performance DH: HK: Should we try it again from the beginning? DH: I forgot
HK's on-the-spot lyrics to DH's on-the-spot melody Title: Day Night I'll capture everything I pictured I'll capture all of them without worrying about others When I open my eyes to the quiet breeze, I smile I'll capture the passing by couples Now they become a movie
HK: I wrote it in kind of an abstract way. All the couples I used to be jealous of have all become a movie. DH: Write it! Do whatever you want!
HK: Hyung! Hyung! Hyung! Doesn't Hyunwoo look like a sloth?!
HK: I like busking. I don't have to get paid... I just like sharing my music with people. It felt good to perform in front of many people. DH: Let's go play HK: HYUNG!!! DH: HK: There's a bowling alley downtown! It's a pub so we can drink beer! HONGKI'S 1st DAY IN TURKEY HK: Do you know there are bowling alleys in Turkey? There are. Let's go later when we have some money to spare HOW WOULD YOU EVALUATE YOUR BOWLING SKILL? HK: If I get the time to take the pro test this year, I think I have a 80% of passing it. It's self-conceit DH: Let's make teams HK: 2 VS 2 DH: The winning team gets 200 lira that they can use freely HK: Awesome DH: Let's go to a bowling alley HK: WOW~!!! JH: I have to team up with Hongki, I have to team up with Hongki! (RIGHT TO WIN = HONGKI) JH: If I end up with Hyunwoo, we are done! (NO WAY) Team Selection HW & JH HK & DH (100% CONFIDENT OF WINNING) (HONGKI'S TIME TO SHINE!) DH: Let's go Hongki! With a left hand?? (STRONG & SMOOTH SWING~) (STRIKE AS EXPECTED) JH: That was my first time seeing strike in real life HW & JH team gets advantage HW: Give us 50 points and don't do your steps. Just bowl. HK: Okay! I'll go first Why HK & DH lost #1 Dohyun tried to copy Hongki DH: It looks so cool how you throw your ball when the guard rail come down HK: I'm not supposed to do that Why HK & DH lost #2 Hongki couldn't aim without taking the steps NOOOOOOOOOO Loser's Excuse HK: I was too relaxed...I just did it for fun? But I had my self-pride. I was sure I could win! Hyunwoo's Victory Dance HK: What's up with that dance??? Where did he learn that? That dance was so annoying!!! Hongki's FINAL chance HK: I concentrated. This was it. It felt good. and yet... After spare fail (SOMETHING WENT WRONG...) (DENYING REALITY) -- My baby's face is so ticked off @skullhong WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE LOSS? Excuse 1: I used a house ball Excuse 2: My body wasn't warmed up enough Excuse 3: I have to play at least 3 rounds to warm up

[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.

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.

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
