✫「Beautiful World」- Jonghun's ideal girl, revealed!
FTISLAND will release again a new work「Polar Star」on 28 November, giving off the feeling of their status as a band, a work of an even higher level. This piece, of a rock and roll style, narrates that just as the Polar Star (North Star) remains unchanging of its position, my longing for you is also never-changing. Hongki's occasionally-soft, occasionally-powerful vocals, when paired with Jonghun and Seunghyun's guitars and Jaejin's smooth bass, coupled with Minhwan's dynamic drumbeats presented a perfect product.
「Fallin' for you」was written and composed by Jaejin. Playing regularly with the guitar at home presented him with the inspiration to write the melody of this song; it is also a new song which was produced with the intention of grasping the emotions of a female who is in love. The other song「Beautiful World」was composed by Jonghun, written by Jaejin; It is the first time when Jonghun used the piano as an accompaniment to seriously create a Jonghun-style ballad. He made use of his imagination to envision a cute and beautiful girl, creating this song's melody. Seunghyun's gentle and clean vocals was partnered with Hongki's strong and powerful singing, resulting in an unforgettable impression. The three songs with distinctly different styles also demonstrated FTISLAND's versatile musical style.
✫ Giving oneself 70 marks - Is it too much?
Q: Having been through concert tours in Japan, Taiwan, Hongkong and other countries, do you already have some sort of band confidence (in yourselves)?
HK: Although we have confidence, we are all the same uneasy. Because every time is a new beginning; every obstacle needs to be challenged continually. We need to keep on putting in our best to do even better. No matter which live performance it is, no matter whether it's the creation of the lyrics or song, we have to complete them with our own strength.
Q: Then, if 100 is full marks, judging by FTISLAND's performance to date, how many marks will you award yourself?
MH: 50.
JH: Above 50?
HK: Yes~ About 50.
JJ: I'd said 70!
SH: Me too!
HK: Isn't 70 a little too much? We should be even more hardworking! Let's try harder~! Jaejin, the bass that you play - what is that. Aren't you going to put in more effort!
✫ Amongst the members, Seunghyun is the one with adheres most to the men's brotherhood.
Q: So what do the members feel about each other?
JH: Although Hongki seems to be a little kid and is playful, when he steps onto the stage, he emits sexiness and charm; his eyes sparkle and he exudes attractiveness. But in private, normally, it is not that kind of feeling. Although in private, he has his personal and different sort of charm, on stage, he just has that charisma to own the whole stage. Seunghyun, although he is young, he is the one amongst all the members to demonstrate men's brotherhood the most. It's not a gentle feeling, but more of one which is like "I want to look after my friend." He places high importance upon friends, and has a strong sense of responsibility. But, of course, up till today, I haven't had a time when I needed his protection or help, because after all, I am the older brother.
HK: Jonghun hid away a sort of charm which only I know about... Because we do not keep things from each other, we show everything out. This sort (of relationship) is quite rare, but because we're staying together... Yeah... Recently, Jonghun has been building up his body.
JJ: Seunghyun, this child, has charm; from this angle, I feel that he is really very handsome! Jonghun has a lot of talent when it comes to interior design. When you see his room, you'll feel: "Wow, that's really cool!" I feel that if he buys his own house one day, staying in it must be really comfortable!
✫ Deep inside, Jaejin is a gentle older brother.
MH: Jaejin originally gives others a feeling of seriousness and quietness. But the one whom I know is very happy and how do I say this- has a sort of elegant feel. Normally, he would pull pranks and joke around, but he would also seriously listen to others' troubles and even helping others solve the problem. He's just like an older brother: He's very reliable, very dependable. Jonghun is that kind of person whom you meet for the first time and feel that he's a very cool person. But he really is a person whose inner heart is much warmer than what his exterior. Of course, there are times when his actions appear cold (laughs), but if you examine him closely, he's a gentle person.
✫ Minhwan has a slightly shy heart.
SH: Minhwan is someone who is resistant to strangers, always being shy to people who he meets for the first time. But actually, he is a very manly person, occasionally giving off the older brother feel. When I am vexed by many issues, he would often be the person I turn to for advice and discussion. Jaejin is really a gentle person, and he is one who warms up the atmosphere. During practice, he would assist in clearing up any situations, and I feel that that is his biggest charm. Also, recently, something else about him which shocked me is ... (At this time, Jaejin appeared: "You gotta say the good things!") I saw him bathing... (Hah!) (Jaejin: "So? Very sexy, right!")
