FIVE TREASURE ISLAND From left to right: Hongki, Minhwan, Jonghun, Wonbin, Jaejin FT ISLAND CARTOON VERSION From Left to Right: Oh Wonbin, Lee Hongki, Choi Jonghun , Lee Jaejin, Choi Minhwan
F.T. Island (Korean : 에프티 아일랜드), Five Treasure Island, or FTI, is the name of a South Korean rock ballad band. The name F.T. Island stands for 'Five Treasure Island', each of the five members being a treasure. The band's official color is yellow, and their fans carry yellow flags known as "pentasticks." Their debut album, Cheerful Sensibility, was the sixth best-selling album of 2007 in South Korea. Official Color:YELLOW
DEBUT FT Island's first album was scheduled to be released commercially in May 2007. However, instead of releasing the album as planned, all of the members appeared on a television program called “Dugeun Dugeun Yeochinmandeulgi” (Korean : 두근두근 여친만들기) on the Korean television channel Mnet. The program title is officially translated by Mnet as "Wanna Be My Girlfriend?" although "두근두근" refers to the sound a heart makes.[3] The band also performed on stage live at Rolling Hall and held their first official showcase at Live House Melon-AX, Gwangjang-dong in Seoul on May 27, 2007. On June 7, 2007 F.T. Island performed their debut song on the music television program M!Countdown. Not only this but they amazed people by winning their first best song award on M!Countdown by beating top artists such as dynamic duo and fly to the sky in just 2 weeks after debut.

RACH SIS! nice one there^^ the long awaited part2! i thought leader's wifey was going to start it though. hahah. or was it together? anyway kudos to both of your.
FT Island is enjoying their music studies, in Japan FT Island, who have left to Japan to study abroad, sent their hellos back home.
FT Island, who have been working with the repackaged album "Until you return," has recently completed their national album promotion and left for Japan while on vacation early April.
When met with the reporter in the street of Tokyo on 26th, Hongki sent his regards to his fans that they are all doing very well.
Lee Hongki especially emphasized the fact that "all members are enjoying their music studies."
In fact, they will be staying in Japan until June and share the various music of the Japanese music industry as well as receive training from a famous Japanese band.
Meanwhile, FT Island will step on stage on June 7th in celebration of the release of '2008 Yeonga' in Japan. At this concert, various artists such as SG Wannabe, See Ya, Shin Hye Sung, CSS as well as the MV stars Song Seung Hyun, Park Yong Ha and Lee Yeon Hwee will be joining FT Island.

Wonbins 1st wifey YAY~! What else are you gonna add to the first post? I'm just excited to find out. Lol I think we should add a few more little pictures of FT at the top. But it's still under construction but I'm sure it'll look so good when it's finished. Good work!
Jaejins 1st wifey :shocked OMG! Thanks for the pictures. I've missed nice pictures, Minhwan's hair. It's so different. I like his hair in the picture of just him and Jaejin though but the other one is a bit weird. And Jaejin looks like he's been working out as well Hot! Lol And they're naked. Well topless. Only Jaejin and Wonbin though~! But thats still good! Hongki and Jonghun are hiding the most because it doesnt seem like they work out as much as the other 3. Good way to start
oly chan Thanks for the news. I hope they write some messages to their fans as well. I gotta check out for that on Silh0. Havent been there in a while, and I remember seeing you there But I cant wait for them to go back to Korea so that they can star in all the shows and programmes again

AIYOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PART 2! PART 2!!! aiyeeee!!! CONGRATULATIONS TO FTISLANd! enhorabuena to everyone! RACHEL and MISUK, great one there!
sharm. kyaaa! oh my oh my..thanks for sharing the Litmus Pictures. they looked so different! really! our Jaejin looked great and manly there. wow. he surely is growing up. I heart Jaejin the most in those pictures! Hongki looked feminine. lol. but that's how i see it. the make-up and the hairstyle is just not so good. too far to recognize hongki's a boy. as for wonbin and minhwan...my.. how strange of me, i couldn't recognize who's binnie and who's minhwan! GOSH! the hairstyle's just soooooo alien to me! wahaha! our hubby is having muscles! weeeeiiii!

May 2 2008 6 39 PM
addiKTed2yu Welcome to the thread Yeah their hair are kinda making them girly. But I think the younger ones are looking more manly than the older ones now, lol.
KKVL Thanks for the clip. Woah~! What has Minhwan done to his hair!! No way!! He has to change it back, it looks weird. Lol And Hongki and Wonbin were looking quite girly there too. It's just Jaejin and Jonghun now! Lol
Wonbins 1st wifey Erm...could try emailing her or leaving her a message on her profile here. FT are changing a bit while they've been in Japan. Hongki has changed quite a bit that I dont like him anymore. Lol, he's funny and a great singer but when they have their comeback he shouldnt dress like that!! He should be like what he was before. THats better, lol. And has Minhwan dyed his hair blonde?

Wonbin’s 1st wifey I will come here more often since it is part 2! =) I hope that the others would come back too.
AddiKTed2yu Wonbin may look girly but he is still hot! =) He does look like TOP in that one!
Wow, they all have changed so much especially Hongki in those pictures. OMG! He looks like my best friend. He looks hot though. Jaejin looks different but he is still hot and he reminds me of my ex. Haha. .

May 3 2008 1 29 PM
*bluebutterfly* really ? you think so ? i think minhwan looks more girly than wonbin.. hehe,, minhwan looks lyk he had too much blush-on.. lols..
AkuenKigahen i mixed up wonbin w/ minhwan.. thats why i was kinda surprised to see that he had light brown hair.. but has he ever dyed his hair to a lighter colour ? ive always seen him w/ dark hair..
AkuenKigahen
May 3 2008 8 23 PM
AddiKTed2yu That’s ok I use to mix them up all the time. Hmm..I am not sure if he has dyed his hair I have always seen him with dark hair too.
I was talking to my best friend earlier and I told him he looks like Hongki. He asked me if I was going to be obsessed over him like I am with Hongki. All I told him I was that I was in love with him more then ever. He also dyed his hair similar to Hongki. I keep on saying he wants to be like Hongki but he denies it. He wants to be more like TOP. Haha

KKVL Yeah, him and Hongki's hair has changed the most. They've had the most different hairstyls, and both of their new hairstyles I dont like. It's good to have something new from time to time but all the time and not if it's horrible. Lol
addiKTed2yu Well just in them pictures, but Minhwan acts more girly, lol. But he's become mroe mature now I think. We'll have to wait and see for their comeback with their next album.
Wonbins 1st wifey No I havent. but did you want me to? I spoke to Misuk and told her that we're on part two but she just said she had been busy but didnt say if she's going to make them. Oh thats good! Because that hair blonde didnt look really good.

the refund's finally had some new updates!
I sent an email to the malay mail(an msian local newspaper) around a month or so ago..and it wasn't oni until 3 days ago tat they contacted me and we talked and discussed this matter..i (kelly) and anonymous sent them a complkaint letter.. and it's published in today's edition of the malay mail..here's the report...
QUOTE
money ill spent on pop boyband
KELLY and ANONYMOUS want aw refund for the concert by korean boyband FT island at sunway amphitheatre, on march 30 that was cancelled.
"The organisers informed everyone at about 10pm that day that the concert was cancelled and issued an apology,"says Kelly
The organiser, CI entertainment promised a refund on April 4, but that was delayed to April 13.
Kelly says the autograph session on march 29 was poorly organised.
"They were unprofessional and irresponsible. This event is supported by the Korean Natinal Tourism Organisation but it affects Malaysia's image,"she adds.
The organiser's office in Sri Hartamas is closed and their website is no longer accesible.
"I called the ticketing agent, TicketCharge, and they said they were unable to reach the organisers. We have been cheated," ANONYMOUS says.
~~~ the following part is what has been gained/done by the malay mail...
QUOTE
In the past two weeks, Hotline had sent SMSes, emails, and tried calling CI entertianment's staff, Felicia but they never replied.
A TicketCharge spokesman siad its phone calls, emails, faxes, and text messages went unanswered too.
However, TicketCharge is willing to refund the money, after deducting management fees.
"TicketCharge will start paying out from May 15-June 14 but the fans will have to sign a letter of acceptance for extra-ratia payment," he says.
TicketCharge can be contacted at 03-2241 9999.
Menawhile, National Consumers' Complaints Centre director Darshan Singh advises fans to lodge police reports against the organiser.
"The police can investigate the organiser for fraud." he says.
here's the announcement K-popped.com recieved via email...
QUOTE
K-popped! received an e-mail from C.I. Entertainment this morning about the ticket refund f rom TicketCharge!
Guys, if you bought your tickets from TicketCharge, the good news is that they are refunding buyers on an ex-gratia payment basis! What the heck does that mean? It means you'll be getting a partial amount (41.06% to be exact) of the sum total of what you paid. The ex-gratia payment to ticketbuyers will begin from May 15 until June 14.
However, ticketbuyers will need to fill out and bring along an acceptance letter to be eligible for the ex-gratia payment. It's downloadable at the TicketCharge website.
The partial refund is only available to those who purchased the FT Island 1st Live in Malaysia concert ticket through the TicketCharge hotline, online site, Mid Valley Boulevard office and Lot 10 information counter.
Purchases from C.I. Entertainment and/or other channels are not qualified for the partial refund.
When will the outstanding 58.94% be refunded to ticketbuyers? I guess you'll have to wait for C.I. Entertainment's announcement on that.
But for now, the local organiser has taken to defending the FT Island boys saying that the boyband is not at fault for the cancellation of the concert and hopes that fans will continue to support them.
Here, read the e-mail K-popped! received below:
Dear all,
Firstly, we would like to thank you for your patience in bearing with us. As belated as it is, we would like to clear some doubts from the fans, in regards to rumors surrounding FT Island. Rest assured that these rumors depicting the artistes in a bad light are unfounded and baseless, and remain the speculation of the public alone. The artistes were cooperative and friendly throughout their stay here, and deeply regret that the concert was called off through no fault of the artiste.
We hope that you, as fans, would continue to show your support to FT Island and keep a neutral stand on these rumors. We hope to have no more rumors circulating around as this also hurts the artistes.
Again, we thank you for your patience in bearing with us as we continue to upgrade our server as well as settle all pending matters in regards to the unfortunate cancellation of FT Island's show here.
Tickets bought through TicketCharge are being refunded partially from 15 May to 14 June 2008. Kindly log on to www.ticketcharge.com.my for more details.
Regards, CI Entertainment

Jonghun's wifey Yeah, that's happens quite a few times, where I think Minhwan looks like Wonbin, because he looks so different.
Welcome aidafira_kor & hunt4me,
OMG! ARGH! LOOK AT MINHWAN'S HAIR!!!! OMG! WHY!? It doesnt look really really bad but still it looked better before. Just saw another picture, it does look kinda bad. Haha... And aww...Jonghun looks cute with the flower.I'm really starting to like him even more now! He seem the most normal. Wonbin's hair looks so linoy. Lol Jaejin looks the same, good! And Hongki has his hair like a girl. But thanks for the pictures Wonbin's first wifey

30 SEC PREVIEW OF SOYOGI's PV!! the audio and vid's not synced properly..but owh what do we (well at least i ) care... this is all we have for da moment..da caps of da PV already killed me..so here it is...
FT singing in jap!!! i gotta give em props.. in such a short span of time..they've learnt enuf jap to sing a song in tat language... salute! i have to say..this is a somewhat emo song..well.. in my opinion... the forest backdrop kinda reminds me of love sick.. but somehow..i feel love sick has a deeper and "heavier" impact..soyogi is a lil "milder"..haha.. i dunno.. maybe it'll have a diff feel with a better quality mp3 or PV..lol..anywayz...great song!!!
with da preview already out..i can't wait for da full PV!!

What happened to FT Island’s hair? Hahah! Wonbin’s hair is so awesome! He reminds me of L from Death Note. Jaejin his hair is curly? Haha that is cute. Minhwan dyed his hair blond! That is just too cute. Hongki’s hair is tied back? He looks hot with the glasses though. Jonghun’s hair reminds me of TOP’s hair. He looks like TOP there.
Hunt4me I know sometimes I don’t have time to go on here either. Wow, so you knew FT Island for a long time now. That is awesome that you knew about them from the beginning. I found out about them in December when I was watching M Countdown. They performed Thunder and I went to go check them out and I thought that they were awesome and I loved them ever since. I actually recorded it so when I want to watch it I can.
OMG I LOVE FT ISAND even more now after I heard that 30 sec preview of their Japanese song! I can’t wait to hear the full version of the song now. I am excited now!
Has anyone listened to their new song from Yeon Ga? It is really nice.

KKVL: Thanks for sharing the clip of the preview. I havent seen it yet. The forest background thing reminds me of Love Sick too. But their image is much more rock look. But I think they're changing too much. I like how they was before ): Well I'll have to wait to see the whole thing before I can judge because I cant say something for certain on a little preview. But they already made the MV and ity's not released till 7th June. It seems like ages away. Here's the album cover. http://global.yesasia.com/en/ImageGallery....9920/#selection
for those who can't read chinese.. just send in the details required to teh email address stated above...
PLEASE DO NOT get their names for the sake of getting the quantity filled up..we don't want this to fail cos of those "empty promisers.. ( yes..promiserS.. it's not a typo error.. ) ..
OMG that was really beautiful! :] The boys, the voices, the instruments, the video! It was just amazing. I am really proud of them. Hongki and Wonbin were so HOT! Their voices were really nice together. The song was just absolutely wonderful! I LOVE IT! Their Japanese was really good and I am really excited for them! There are many other artists who are also learning Japanese as well. They aren’t young as FT Island though. They are so talented to learn another language and be able to sing so well in it too. FT Island will really go far with their music I think they have what it takes to be on top. They are really amazing. I can’t wait to hear more Japanese song from them.

Album Introduction 1. Friendship Written, composed & arranged by Yoshihiko Chino
This song is written by the producer of Island Chapter's "FT Island" and also the boys' imaging in-charge, Chino-san. This time round, the lyrics will be more straight forward, mainly describing the members' lives and also their friendship. This song will also include all members' acapella parts. The members were quite nervous in the beginning during the rehearsals and made abit of mistakes here and there while playing. However, the recording went smoothly without mistakes. Recording was filled with excitement. Everyone was involved in the chorus part of the song. The image PV shots were taken in a studio, with the members performing inside.
2. Mirai Jitensha (Future Train) Written & composed by Daichi. Arranged by Youwhich
Also another group of producers who took part in the production in their album last year, Daichi-san and Youwhich-san. Wonbin & Hongki will have their own harmonising vocal parts while the other members will take turns for solo parts (guitar, drums, bass). The members enjoyed playing live music and this song will portray the youth and liveliness of the members as they move towards the future.
3. soyogi Written by Daichi. Composed by Daichi, Makoto Miyazai. Arranged by Youwhich
Title song of this album. Actually this song was produced last year and is only intended for the band to sing it when they're older. This song starts with a fine guitar solo. Soyogi means to rustle (wind). Just like the title itself, the tune carries an atmosphere which matches the theme of the song. The lyrics also end off in a similar manner. This song was meant for the harmonising vocals of Hongki & Wonbin. It would turn out nice if both of them harmonise the high notes together. During the recordings, there were many suggestions given to the team and they added some parts to the arrangement which best fit the group as a whole. The final chorus work was done by the 5 members.
4. Stars Written & composed by Hiroki Nagase. Arranged by REO
This song is produced by Nagase Hiroki, the same person who produced Nakashima Mika's latest single "sakura~hanagasumi~" & "mienai hoshi", Kinki Kids' songs and Anna Tsuchiya insp' Nana's "kuroi namida" etc hit songs. Listen carefully to this matured ballad, you will realise that Hongki's vocals are very vibrant. This ballad has parts which requires the stretching of the vocals. The arrangement of this song, REO-san, has also arranged various songs for Shibasaki Kou and Tohoshinki. The song also has a slight touch of mechanism feel and the climax of the song comes from Minhwan's drum parts. Pace of the song is firm and the performance will show a mature side of the members. Deepest impression during the production of this song is when Jaejin thought carefully about how his pace should be for this song. Wonbin's vocals also matches the song well, with a strong accent.
5. A Song For You Written, composed & arranged by Daisuke Mori
The 5th new song from this album is written, composed and arranged by the singer-writer, Mori Daisuke-san. This beautiful piano ballad includes a message in the song. It is also the group's debut 1st anniversary song. To thank all the fans for their support all these while, the message was specially included inside. Because of the fans' encouragement and support, they can continue to sing. This is a song which portrays their own feelings. Though it is slightly repressive for Hongki & Wonbin (due to language barriers), they worked hard on learning the meaning of the words so as to sing it better. The other members also did a wonderful recording of the chorus.
Bonus Tracks
6. FT Island (New version from Cheerful Sensibility) Written by Lee Heesung. Composed & arranged by Yoshikiho Chino
FT Island's image song, produced by the first Japanese composer from their previous album. The song was previously produced in Japan and live recorded by the members themselves. Therefore the members will also be doing a new live recording for this song.
7. Primadonna (New version from Cheerful Sensibility) Written by Lee Heesung. Composed by Daichi.
This song will also have a new live recording by the members. The title of the song is the same as their fanclub name "Primadonna".
8. Always Be Mine (New version from Cheerful Sensibility) Written, composed by Shusui & Hitvision. Arranged by Ryosuke Nakanishi
Korean song from their previous album. Actually the demo version of this song has English lyrics, for the members to sing when they think they could do it. Now the plan for them to sing in English has come true in this album.
Hongki’s 1st Wifey Yup, I am everywhere these days. I couldn’t choose between Jaejin and Honki but I have made my decision and its….Jaejin’s bass! Hahaha! Jk I really do love his bass fors some reason! I really can’t decide I love them all!
Bluebutterfly Will those be the songs to their new album?
