(Excerpt; because the full article is too much of the reporter's fangirl moments instead of reporting on the concert...)
Revealing, the unexpected audiovisual enjoyment
Although I was a little surprised, FTISLAND members are really very easygoing. When they went up on stage, they stood at their respective places, said "Hello, everybody", and then started to sing. It was so fast that the off-stage Pri didn't even have enough time to carefully observe what FT was wearing, what new changes were in place. Starting from Minhwan's first drum beat, those at the venue who were waiting to scream from their throats were momentarily stunned. What song was this? Japanese new single? Some song from their Korean album? A self-written song? Or was it a translated cover? Although they swayed to the music, the pentastick also continually held up high, quite a few Pri looked at each other, their hearts unknowingly filling with self-blaming emotions. (Eg, I'm not a full-time Pri; I've never even heard of this song before. FT, I'm sorry. *cries*)
I don't know who it was who said, "Could it be the new song?", awakening those who were deep in thought, but everyone started to more or less predict FTISLAND's comeback time. FNC's publicity plan was already understood by all the fans: When CNBLUE released an album in Japan, then FTISLAND will do a comeback in Korea. Vice versa. Considering this, the live atmosphere suddenly went into the state of unveiling of a new song, the fans started to seriously inspect this new music. The rhythm was good, the melody catchy; Hongki even rotated his shoulders and performed sexily - it was good! But FTISLAND members totally did not allow the Pri to enjoy; it wasn't even a minute before the song was changed, they took turns teasing the Pri 5 times! 5 times! (COOL: COOL was even teased to tears.) Although there was mild dissatisfaction, (everyone) didn't dare to think much, afraid that this precious minute would be over with a "whoosh"! After the push-and-pull, FTISLAND members finally officially stood on the stage and greeted the Pri. Everyone was so eager to ask what was just sung, their eyes were all shining!
HK: Hello, everyone. Why don't we begin by introducing ourselves like before. From the way I see it, that section of the audience doesn't really seem to know us.
JJ: Nah, they definitely know me.
HK: (glances at Jaejin) The whole of that section doesn't know you, alright!
JJ: Then do they all know you?
HK: That's why I say we should do a self-introduction.
SH: Hello everyone, I am Song Seunghyun who has recently hit the jackpot because of [Jack The Ripper].
JJ: Hello everyone, I am Lee Jaejin who is very famous because of my appearance.
MH: Hello everyone, I am drummer Minhwan.
HK: That's all?
MH: Yeah.
Appreciating, those things which are said to be uncommon
Hongki's earlier talk portion released a piece of important news: Those five songs just performed were new songs recorded in the new album. Seeing that some of the girls were stunned, some were reminscing, and others screaming, FTISLAND members laughed happily. They've already debuted for five years, but FT is still the picture of mischief not unlike kindergartners; because of this little prank they pulled, they were so happy. The three songs,「Life」,「That Person From Shinsadong」and「I'll Love Everything」were sung passionately, the atmosphere gradually moving into a sad story with a rock-and-roll style which was irresistible. I have to say that in "Immortal Song 2", Hongki sang「That Person From Shinsadong」into perfection, an immortal song. Having been through this year's Summer Tour Japan, Hongki's voice seemed to be a little tired, but he still upped his stage at "Immortal Song 2" by 120%, and there were even Pri who cried. Listening to this song live is even sadder than listening to it many times over on the computer. I felt like I could really understand the auntie who stood offstage crying nonstop, and the original teacher who had a pleased expression in his eyes.
//
HK: Jonghun, which member do you like most in AOA?
JH: (hesitates) Aiyoh, why are you like this?
SH: Aiyoh, don't you have one?
HK: Do the PRI know? Apparently, it's Mina~
JH: It's not like that.
HK: Then why don't you like Juniel? I like both Juniel and AOA.
JH: FNC Ent will debut even more teams; our PRI will show their support, right?
PRI: (softly) Yes~
All: They're angry! They're angry!
HK: Everyone knows what we did on Twitter, right? To Seunghyun......
PRI: Seunghyun fighting! Seunghyun fighting!
SH: That's right, that's love~
HK: Everyone, please don't be worried about Minhwan; he just likes to stay at home.

[ENG TRANS] FTISLAND Interview:「I WISH」my wish is granted edition
Yahoo!奇摩名人娛樂
【FTISLAND專訪】『I WISH』心願實現篇
PLEASE TAKE OUT WITH FULL CREDITS. THANK YOU ^^
HK: Netizen 'kelly60635' said her grandfather is not well, and she hopes that we can help pray for her grandfather to get well soon. Hope that your grandfather can recover quickly, quickly become healthy again and live a happy life together with Kelly again. Hope that Grandfather will recover soon.
MH: We will be supporting him.
//
SH: Netizen 'zoooo' said she hopes that we can record a video for her daughter in third grade of elementary school while saying,「Hope that Fiona can be faster while doing her assignments. Don't procrastinate」. I didn't think that there are ones amongst our fans who have already become mothers. Hope that your daughter will do her homework properly, and then, Fiona, when doing your assignments, don't procrastinate. Alright? You have to do your work properly. And then hurry and complete your work to be able to listen to our songs together with Mama. Lastly, here's wishing that Fiona will come in first in her exams. Thank you.
//
MH: Netizen 's20824s20824' hopes that we can talk about our feelings regarding the last concert on 26 May, when everyone raised the heart slogan. We have seen before, many fans who gave us fan support. But that time, the feeling was totally different.
HK: That was the first time.
MH: It felt different from normal times. Because it is the first time, Hongki-hyung was even touched to tears. So we're really very touched. That night, after the concert ended, I really felt very happy; my mood was also good. Thank you.
//
JJ: Next is netizen 徐維凡 (Xu Wei Fan). Hope that we drink bubble tea with 50% sugar and without ice while saying「Wishing all Taiwan Primadonnas a Merry Christmas!!!」
HK: Bubble Tea!
JJ: Bubble Tea! Give me that. It looks like it's delicious.
MH: Oh, oh! It's leaked out~ Oh dear, oh dear~
JJ: We must be drinking this and wishing Taiwan Pri a Merry Christmas.
Translator: This is the taste of 50% sugar without ice (bubble tea). It's nicer this way.
SH: Yeah, it's really nice to drink.
JJ: There's less sugar in this?
MH: This, then let's say「Merry Christmas」.
HK: Jonghun, help me to get some tissue paper.
JJ: Merry Christmas.
MH: Taiwan Primadonna, Merry Christmas.
JJ: Hongki, raise your head.
HK: Taiwan Primadonna...
All: Merry Christmas!
SH: Merry Christmas! Cheers, it's very nice to drink.
//
JH: The last wish. Netizen 李偉婷 (Li Wei Ting) wishes that FTISLAND can personally call her and sing her this song,「애인이 돼 주길 바래요」(Hope You'll Be My Lover).
SH: Really?
JH: Li Wei Ting?
HK: Hello, I am Lee Hongki.
JH: We are now going to sing the sweet「Hope You'll Be My Lover」live for Li Wei Ting. Please enjoy well.
Translator: They're going to sing already~
*sings song*
JH: Wow, thank you!
All: Thank you!
HK: See you tomorrow.
SH: Merry Christmas.

[ENG TRANS] FTISLAND's full record @ Taiwan; via Fun Music
PLEASE TAKE OUT WITH FULL CREDITS. THANK YOU ^^
Korea's first flower boy band FTISLAND will be holding the first stage of「2012 TAKE FTISLAND Asia Tour concerts - Taipei stage」on 15th December at the Taipei Exhibition Hall 2. Two hours before the concert started, the lead vocal Lee Hongki went out to the east side to shop, and even impulsively decided to take a Taiwan cab and trawl around. When the car passed the Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall, the staff members told him that that was the venue in which they held the February 2010 concert in Taiwan. Because everytime they are in Taiwan, everywhere they went was by van, and they were sent right into the venue itself. Hence, they never once had the chance to see the exterior of the venues. Lee Hongki was then shocked that actually the venue for that year's concert was actually so beautiful. When they passed the Taipei 101, he could finally see clearly how high the building was, and his excitement was no different from a regular tourist. Because while he was shopping, no one recognised him, Lee Hongki did not hide away his playful character. When he returned to the concert venue, in order to catch the fans' attention, he purposely acted as if he were uncomfortable and had no energy, going in by the back door with the security's guidance. It could be because Lee Hongki's acting was too real, but at the venue, although there were many fans who were excitedly awaiting the start of the concert, they did not realise that Lee Hongki had just slipped right past them.
In the middle of the concert, there was the emergence of guitarist Song Seunghyun's leg cramp incident. According to Korean practice, they would use a thin needle to release pressure and ease the situation. But because the incident happened so suddenly and there was no way to find a real and proper needle, the Taiwan staff members quickly went to buy medicated gel to massage the affected area. It's no longer an issue, so we want to assure all the fans not to worry!
After the concert ended, the five members held a High-Five fan-meeting backstage. There were girls from all sorts of age-groups present, even including those from third or fourth-year elementary school students. When the little girls saw the older brother whom they liked right in front of them giving them a high-five, they were stunned immediately, and the members are also very happy to have such small super-fans. Main vocal Lee Hongki's mood was very high: At first, he used Korean to say "Thank you", conveying to all the fans his grateful heart. But after listening to the Taiwan staff members speaking the Chinese "Thank you", he invented the「Chinese-style Korean」: “Xie Xie Hamnida”. He was even rather happy with the new line he had invented, posting it on his own Twitter that night, together with the photo together with fans. He even wrote below, "Thank you! Everyone really did well as usual! Xie Xie Hamnida." After the fan-meeting ended, they headed to a renown sukiyaki shop to have a huge feast. (After that), FTISLAND headed back to the hotel to rest, recovering their physical energy for the next day's concert.

[ENG TRANS] 121129 FTISLAND Interview @ 日韓音樂瘋
PLEASE TAKE OUT WITH FULL CREDITS. THANK YOU ^^
~~PART ONE
Host: Welcome back to 日韓音樂瘋 (show name). Dear friends in the audience, do you know what I am holding in my hand? Yes, it is FTISLAND's personally signed board. Hey, aren't they in Korea? How can we manage to get hold of their personally signed board? Yes, because our Miss Dispatch for Korea-Japan went to Korea to do an interesting interview with them; and they mentioned in it about next month's upcoming Taiwan concert. Two concerts, right? What special things do they have to present to everyone? We shall have a look right now, at their interesting interview. After returning from the interview, we will give away this signed board! Is everyone really excited? Alright, let's watch the interesting interview now! Please watch!
-- INTERVIEW --
All: Hello everyone, we are FTISLAND.
SH: I am Song Seunghyun. Thank you. Happy New Year. May you prosper.
MH: I am Choi Minhwan. Thank you.
HK: I am Lee Hongki.
JH: I am Choi Jonghun.
JJ: I am Lee Jaejin. Jaejin, Seunghyun~
Host: Yes, you didn't see wrong. This round, 日韓音樂瘋 specially went directly to Korea; the ones who are coming to Taiwan again in December for a concert, FTISLAND, also received our interview! This year, FT released their new album, FIVE TREASURE BOX, which I believe to be an album which causes all their fans to want to collect! So what are the treasures of the five treasures? Leader Jonghun's answer made the members cringe. Let's listen to what they have to say!
- Question: What are the treasures of the five members? -
MH: For me, it's the computer. To me, both my computer and mobile phone are treasures. I think I don't have a real treasure. What do you have?
HK: My treasure is... (laughs) Same as me? For me, clothes are my most important treasures. Yeah, clothes. Clothes are my treasure.
JJ: For me, because I am the bassist, so the most important is the guitar.
SH: Are you referring to the guitar which you just bought recently?
JJ: Did I buy?
MH: You bought a new guitar.
SH: Please talk about what type of guitar you bought.
JJ: SG SG (electric guitar type). I bought a guitar even though I don't really know how to play a guitar, but because of composing, I started to learn [the guitar]. This time, I can really show the results, because the effects are good, so recently, I've been feeling really happy.
JH: Saying this at this sort of setting is a bit embarrassing; my treasure is actually the members.
(Caption: The others cringe.)
Host: And FTISLAND's previous title song, SEVERELY, had Hongki and AOA's Seolhyun acting in the MV, receiving much praise. This round's I WISH also had AOA member, Hyejeong, and Minhwan acting together. Now, FT will share with everyone the interesting happenings during the process of shooting (the MV)!
- Interesting happenings during I WISH MV shooting -
SH: During the MV shoot, something which happened on set, I didn't say anything wrong, yeah? Hyejeong, a member of AOA, a group from our company, did the recording together with us. In it, there was a part where the director requested for Minhwan to go really close to her. Because Minhwan has not acted opposite a girl for a long time...
MH: Just let me say it.
SH: The corner of his mouth kept shaking, shaking, shaking like this.
(Caption: The shy Minhwan is really cute!)
Host: Wow! Look at Minhwan being all shy. In the MV, I imagine that acting opposite Hyejeong made him really nervous! Also, FTISLAND's Asia Tour concert is also rapidly in the midst of being prepared. Coming to Taiwan again in December, FT also secretly revealed that the main vocalist Hongki will prepare a surprise for everyone!
- Surprise preview: December concert -
JJ: This round's surprise will be presented by Hongki to everyone. For all our fans and friends, we should be preparing a surprise activity. Like for our situation, because the concert theme and contents have been settled, there will definitely be an order to all the songs. Hopefully we can plan a middle segment as a present for everyone.
Host: Although the other members are playing around at the side, Hongki seems not to know what the surprise is? But he also said that being able to perform on stage is already the greatest present. Hopefully, at that time, the Taiwan Primadonnas can join in the fun too!
- Hongki's promise of a wonderful performance -
HK: I'm still not too sure what the contents (of the surprise) are. But every time we have concerts, we would always be asked, "What surprises have you prepared this time?" Actually I feel that every performance's contents should already be a very wonderful gift. So like what Jaejin just mentioned, because this concert has many parts where our members have participated in, we hope that everyone can feel the totally different contents of the concert. So this concert is actually a gift in itself. The most important part of a concert is essentially to let everyone listen to their hearts' content. Should we jump out on stage(as an opening)? The supposed surprise segment, I'm currently not too sure about it. Being able to perform already encompasses a highly important meaning.
Host: These words of Hongki's will definitely let the fans anticipate the concert performance even more, right? I believe on the concert day itself, FT will also display a perfect level of mutual understanding. Having debuted for 5 years, they must have many things to say to each other. Now, let's have them say a few innermost words to the member on their right. First, the words which Hongki wants to tell Jonghun the most seem to be related to his culinary skills!
- Innermost thoughts: Hongki to Jonghun -
HK: If I really need to say... Words which I want to say to Jonghun... Actually I normally say them all already. Jonghun really likes to cook. He really likes making dishes.
JH: Are you gonna praise me?
HK: That's not it. Actually I didn't really want to talk about cooking, this matter. I hope that after he finishes cooking, he can clean up a little. The matter of wanting to cook is a good thing per se. B ut I hope he can take care of this component called taste. And I hope he doesn't only "take care" of cooking, but also display the spirit of "culinary" delicacy. I hope he can be promoted to the level of a real chef and not just be a master of dishes. There's room for improvement; if it can be done, that would be good.
Host: Actually, Hongki just really wants to eat more of Jonghun's love-filled dishes; that's why he teased the leader like that! Then what does the leader have to say to the maknae Minhwan?
- Innermost thoughts: Jonghun to Minhwan -
JH: The words which I want to say to Minhwan... Firstly, Minhwan is preparing for his musical performance. Hope that every single performance will be smooth
HK: The performances will definitely be smooth.
JH: Hope that every performance will be smooth.
Host: Minhwan's musical will definitely go well! And Minhwan will do a love confession to Jaejin, because he thinks that Jaejin is really very handsome!
- Innermost thoughts: Minhwan to Jaejin -
MH: The words which I want to say to Jaejin... Recently... How should I say this. It's like I'm seeing Jaejin when I first met him.
JJ: Why do you say that?
MH: Because you're very handsome. Because he's very handsome.
SH: (Minhwan) said he's very handsome.
MH: Am I supposed to say the good points?
JJ: Good points.
MH: He really became handsome. Sometimes, when I see him in the morning, he is full of manliness. Like when he is fixing his tie, I feel that he's really handsome.
SH: Right, I think so too. When he's getting off from the car, the sight of his head emerging first is really handsome. At that moment, I think that he looks really "MAN".
MH: After getting his hair cut, he really became more handsome.
HK: It feels like he changed a lot. The people around us are all telling Jaejin the same thing: "Now we finally see Jaejin's even more handsome side."
(Caption: Jaejin is originally very handsome too!!)
HK: Very handsome~
MH: Anyway, he became handsome.
JJ: Don't you want to give me any advice or something?
MH: No, I am to say the good part.
JJ: Thank you~
Host: It's actually because Jaejin cut his hair that Minhwan feels he's handsome. The other four treasures are really too comical. So what does the handsome Jaejin have to say to Seunghyun?
- Innermost thoughts: Jaejin to Seunghyun -
JJ: For me, I want to tell Seunghyun... there should be many things to say. Recently, he started to exercise together with me again. I hope that he will eat more, so that he can hurry and become stronger.
SH: Me?
JJ: If you're stronger, you'll come across as more of a man. Just put in a little more effort. The two of them are fighting every night, like they're playing around, hitting about every night. But it's a feeling like an adult playing with a child; it's always Minhwan who wins. When it looks like this, I seem pretty pitiful.
SH: Actually, those people who exercise, their hearts are always good-natured. I am very kind-hearted.
(Caption: Seunghyun, fighting!)
JJ: Don't try to bluff others.
SH: Yes.
JJ: I hope Seunghyun will quickly put in more effort; things will become better.
Host: Hopefully, the kind-hearted Seunghyun can hurry and build strength together with Jaejin. Do win Minhwan next time! And Seunghyun has many things to say to Hongki, who has been really busy lately. And the dispatch team's specially prepared birthday surprise for Minhwan; all of it will be revealed in the next segment. Don't miss it!
~~PART TWO
Host: The bubbly FTISLAND's five members really have a lot to say. Regardless of whether it is to tease or expectations (for one another), they are all really cute. For the finale, Seunghyun really has many caring words to say to Hongki!
- Innermost thoughts: Seunghyun to Hongki -
SH: What do I want to say to Hongki... The fans all know that Hongki is currently filming a movie. The film's original name was "Our Heaven(*direct translation)", but is now changed to "Fire Phoenix(*direct translation)". He is acting as a star who goes to the hospital to do social work. Hong-Star's starring makes everyone anticipate greatly. It's been filming for quite some time; he's quite tired, every time he wraps up filming and comes home, it is already the wee hours of the morning. And we nearly sleep till 2pm every day before waking up. We feel very sorry towards him.
HK: And Minhwan...
SH: Minhwan always sleeps until 2pm.
JH: Only Minhwan sleeps until 2pm?
SH: Yeah, so anyway, I hope that the following filming sessions can go smoothly too, and I hope that the movie can have great sales.
Host: Hongki, who has many roles to play, recently has to film a movie, do hosting, and also handle the business of being the main vocalist. He's really very busy. Our Hong-Star then said, because they're all work which he enjoys, so he will prepare even more seriously for everyone to see!
- Doing what he likes, Hongki is happy -
HK: I didn't particularly put in effort to do anything. I should say, I don't need to especially try to work for it. These are things which I have always been keeping an eye on. Because they are things which I like to do, so they're even easier to achieve. If I don't like something, doing it will become particularly difficult. But I'm always doing what I like: I like being a host, I also like singing, acting-wise, I also like it. And I'm very fortunate to have the chance to meet good works, to meet songs which sound good, to meet good television programmes; and so there are good results. I'm counted as one of those who have good luck, but because in future, there will be even more diverse developments, I have to start preparing ahead now. Then in the future, when I need to, I will practice and prepare. I don't work hard because of a particular goal which I want to attain, but I still try hard to practice singing.
Host: Hongki, who has always been showing us different faces, it's been really tough on you! But we also want to know, if leader Jonghun has the chance to become someone else for a day, who would he want to become?
- Leader Jonghun transforms into Hongki?! -
JH: I choose Hongki.
HK: Why me?
JH: Do I need a reason? Becayse his character is more rebellious, so if I become Hongki, maybe I can experience a different world, you'd never know. If you still can't feel it... I'm not thinking too much, just... I'm not thinking too much, but I just want to experience once, the life which he led before.
Host: I believe that if Jonghun transforms into Hongki, he can definitely also do very well! And from the very start, the one who has been praised by the members for becoming handsome, Jaejin, will now also display through his actions, where his charm lies. Jaejin's 3 consecutive selca shots will be coming soon~ Primadonnas, don't miss this!
- Jaejin's charming three selcas -
JJ: It's not, it's not, no, no.
All: Jaejin, Jaejin, Jaejin, Jaejin...
HK: Let's have a suave pose first~ A handsome expression. Please give us a facial pictorial. ACTION~!
(Caption: The handsome Jaejin)
MH: Cute, let's have a cute one next.
HK: Cute~
JJ: I don't know how to do cute.
JH: You know~ Jaejin, you used to always do cute expressions.
MH: Mouse, mouse expressions.
HK: Come, Jaejin, ACTION! It's coming~ ready, ACTION!
(Caption: Cute Jaejin)
HK: Sexy~
JJ: I really can't do sexy actions, I really don't have any sexy actions. I don't, I don't.
Host: Whether it's the cute or sexy Jaejin, every fan will want to properly keep him away, right? Additionally, everyone must already know that Seunghyun has recently been studiously learning Chinese. Now, let's allow him to show off the results of his studying!
- Seunghyun shows off his Chinese, confident as ever -
SH: Friend, teacher?! Teacher...
HK: Does that mean teacher?
SH: Listen to music... Right now, have you %^&* already?
MH: He's good at speaking.
SH: Have you eaten? You're very pretty. I love all of you. Thank you!!
Host: Seunghyun's enunciation is quite accurate; even his Twitter account was changed to the Chinese sounds (of his name). Still seriously studying is Seunghyun, whom I believe will have tremendous improvements soon! Minhwan is embracing a new challenge too: acting in a musical for the first time, he is very nervous. Minhwan is going to share with everyone his feelings during the practice and preparations!
- Minhwan prepares for his musical, nervous and excited -
MH: Currently, I am in the midst of practising hard for rehearsals. Because when I speak, my enunciation is a little (affected by my) big tongue, I spent a lot of time to correct that. I think that it'll be like that for my whole life; I won't be able to change it in the future.
SH: This is also Minhwan's charm.
MH: Because when I speak, because of the big tongue, I have already given up on acting. And when singing, I also have to dance. The singing part is already very difficult by itself, it's really very difficult. I am also trying hard to practice. Because this is my first time challenging a musical, I hope that I can do it smoothly. Fighting.
HK: What about the dancing?
MH: I really don't know how to dance.
HK: You don't dance that bad.
MH: Really? When did you see it?
JH: When you have the chance, you gotta dance properly.
HK: Anyway, there was this once.
MH: I hope everyone can come and watch my performance.
HK: Aren't there any other interesting things?
MH: Nothing really special.
HK: Doesn't Yunho-sunbae like you? He kept saying he wanted to act with you.
MH: Because this time, TVXQ's Yunho-sunbae is also acting together (with me), Sunbae also often teaches me many things. We're able to act in the musical together, and he often encourages me to perform well, there are such interactions.
(Caption: Minhwan, fighting for your musical!)
Host: And the dispatch team specially went to Korea this time to interview FTISLAND, coincidentally meeting with Minhwan's birthday. Such a special day, of course we had to celebrate it properly with the maknae! Dispatch staff, Chris, and the team also specially delivered fried chicken, which FT loves to eat, as well as a birthday cake. Let's hurry and listen to what Minhwan's birthday wishes are!
- Minhwan's birthday surprise -
All: Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, to our beloved Minhwan, happy birthday to you~ Happy birthday to you (x4)
Chris: Alright, now, in Taiwan, there is a tradition: The birthday boy/girl is the highest (in rank), and can make 3 wishes. And the three wishes must be said out loud except for the last one.
(Caption: Hongki's formidable palm wind...)
Staff: Please voice your wishes. The first two can be shared.
MH: Three? I hope to continue making music together with the members. And then... that the musical can have smooth performances. I wish that our members will all become rich people.
Chris: Then, here, apart from having prepared a cake, we also prepared, for today, the food which the members love to eat most.
HK: Chicken, chicken!
MH: Wow, this smell~
(Caption: Even smelling it will make them happy)
Chris: Apart... Apart from these, we have also prepared our local snacks as gifts for FTISLAND!
MH: They're from Taiwan.
JH: This is ... Pineapple pastry.
Chris: And this time, we have also prepared Taiwan's famous product, called pineapple pastry for FTISLAND.
(Caption: What are you doing?!)
HK: What is that?
MH: We've eaten that before.
Chris: Taiwan's famous product, pineapple pastry. This is to be given to our FTISLAND!
Host: We're really happy that FTISLAND took time off their busy schedules to hold an interview with 日韓音樂瘋. We are also anticipating the meeting with FT again in December. Lastly, let's have FTISLAND say a few things to Taiwan Pris!
- Words to Taiwan fans -
HK: We will go to Taiwan in December to meet everyone. I hope everyone can come and watch our concert. No matter when, whenever we think of Taiwan fans, we are always filled with grateful hearts. We will also repay you with interesting performances, please anticipate our performance. I hope we can play together happily. Thank you for always giving us strength no matter when it is. Thank you!

Thank you!
~~PART ONE
Host: Welcome back to 日韓音樂瘋 (show name). Dear friends in the audience, do you know what I am holding in my hand? Yes, it is FTISLAND's personally signed board. Hey, aren't they in Korea? How can we manage to get hold of their personally signed board? Yes, because our Miss Dispatch for Korea-Japan went to Korea to do an interesting interview with them; and they mentioned in it about next month's upcoming Taiwan concert. Two concerts, right? What special things do they have to present to everyone? We shall have a look right now, at their interesting interview. After returning from the interview, we will give away this signed board! Is everyone really excited? Alright, let's watch the interesting interview now! Please watch!
-- INTERVIEW --
All: Hello everyone, we are FTISLAND.
SH: I am Song Seunghyun. Thank you. Happy New Year. May you prosper.
MH: I am Choi Minhwan. Thank you.
HK: I am Lee Hongki.
JH: I am Choi Jonghun.
JJ: I am Lee Jaejin. Jaejin, Seunghyun~
Host: Yes, you didn't see wrong. This round, 日韓音樂瘋 specially went directly to Korea; the ones who are coming to Taiwan again in December for a concert, FTISLAND, also received our interview! This year, FT released their new album, FIVE TREASURE BOX, which I believe to be an album which causes all their fans to want to collect! So what are the treasures of the five treasures? Leader Jonghun's answer made the members cringe. Let's listen to what they have to say!
- Question: What are the treasures of the five members? -
MH: For me, it's the computer. To me, both my computer and mobile phone are treasures. I think I don't have a real treasure. What do you have?
HK: My treasure is... (laughs) Same as me? For me, clothes are my most important treasures. Yeah, clothes. Clothes are my treasure.
JJ: For me, because I am the bassist, so the most important is the guitar.
SH: Are you referring to the guitar which you just bought recently?
JJ: Did I buy?
MH: You bought a new guitar.
SH: Please talk about what type of guitar you bought.
JJ: SG SG (electric guitar type). I bought a guitar even though I don't really know how to play a guitar, but because of composing, I started to learn [the guitar]. This time, I can really show the results, because the effects are good, so recently, I've been feeling really happy.
JH: Saying this at this sort of setting is a bit embarrassing; my treasure is actually the members.
(Caption: The others cringe.)
Host: And FTISLAND's previous title song, SEVERELY, had Hongki and AOA's Seolhyun acting in the MV, receiving much praise. This round's I WISH also had AOA member, Hyejeong, and Minhwan acting together. Now, FT will share with everyone the interesting happenings during the process of shooting (the MV)!
- Interesting happenings during I WISH MV shooting -
SH: During the MV shoot, something which happened on set, I didn't say anything wrong, yeah? Hyejeong, a member of AOA, a group from our company, did the recording together with us. In it, there was a part where the director requested for Minhwan to go really close to her. Because Minhwan has not acted opposite a girl for a long time...
MH: Just let me say it.
SH: The corner of his mouth kept shaking, shaking, shaking like this.
(Caption: The shy Minhwan is really cute!)
Host: Wow! Look at Minhwan being all shy. In the MV, I imagine that acting opposite Hyejeong made him really nervous! Also, FTISLAND's Asia Tour concert is also rapidly in the midst of being prepared. Coming to Taiwan again in December, FT also secretly revealed that the main vocalist Hongki will prepare a surprise for everyone!
- Surprise preview: December concert -
JJ: This round's surprise will be presented by Hongki to everyone. For all our fans and friends, we should be preparing a surprise activity. Like for our situation, because the concert theme and contents have been settled, there will definitely be an order to all the songs. Hopefully we can plan a middle segment as a present for everyone.
Host: Although the other members are playing around at the side, Hongki seems not to know what the surprise is? But he also said that being able to perform on stage is already the greatest present. Hopefully, at that time, the Taiwan Primadonnas can join in the fun too!
- Hongki's promise of a wonderful performance -
HK: I'm still not too sure what the contents (of the surprise) are. But every time we have concerts, we would always be asked, "What surprises have you prepared this time?" Actually I feel that every performance's contents should already be a very wonderful gift. So like what Jaejin just mentioned, because this concert has many parts where our members have participated in, we hope that everyone can feel the totally different contents of the concert. So this concert is actually a gift in itself. The most important part of a concert is essentially to let everyone listen to their hearts' content. Should we jump out on stage(as an opening)? The supposed surprise segment, I'm currently not too sure about it. Being able to perform already encompasses a highly important meaning.
Host: These words of Hongki's will definitely let the fans anticipate the concert performance even more, right? I believe on the concert day itself, FT will also display a perfect level of mutual understanding. Having debuted for 5 years, they must have many things to say to each other. Now, let's have them say a few innermost words to the member on their right. First, the words which Hongki wants to tell Jonghun the most seem to be related to his culinary skills!
- Innermost thoughts: Hongki to Jonghun -
HK: If I really need to say... Words which I want to say to Jonghun... Actually I normally say them all already. Jonghun really likes to cook. He really likes making dishes.
JH: Are you gonna praise me?
HK: That's not it. Actually I didn't really want to talk about cooking, this matter. I hope that after he finishes cooking, he can clean up a little. The matter of wanting to cook is a good thing per se. B ut I hope he can take care of this component called taste. And I hope he doesn't only "take care" of cooking, but also display the spirit of "culinary" delicacy. I hope he can be promoted to the level of a real chef and not just be a master of dishes. There's room for improvement; if it can be done, that would be good.
Host: Actually, Hongki just really wants to eat more of Jonghun's love-filled dishes; that's why he teased the leader like that! Then what does the leader have to say to the maknae Minhwan?
- Innermost thoughts: Jonghun to Minhwan -
JH: The words which I want to say to Minhwan... Firstly, Minhwan is preparing for his musical performance. Hope that every single performance will be smooth
HK: The performances will definitely be smooth.
JH: Hope that every performance will be smooth.
Host: Minhwan's musical will definitely go well! And Minhwan will do a love confession to Jaejin, because he thinks that Jaejin is really very handsome!
- Innermost thoughts: Minhwan to Jaejin -
MH: The words which I want to say to Jaejin... Recently... How should I say this. It's like I'm seeing Jaejin when I first met him.
JJ: Why do you say that?
MH: Because you're very handsome. Because he's very handsome.
SH: (Minhwan) said he's very handsome.
MH: Am I supposed to say the good points?
JJ: Good points.
MH: He really became handsome. Sometimes, when I see him in the morning, he is full of manliness. Like when he is fixing his tie, I feel that he's really handsome.
SH: Right, I think so too. When he's getting off from the car, the sight of his head emerging first is really handsome. At that moment, I think that he looks really "MAN".
MH: After getting his hair cut, he really became more handsome.
HK: It feels like he changed a lot. The people around us are all telling Jaejin the same thing: "Now we finally see Jaejin's even more handsome side."
(Caption: Jaejin is originally very handsome too!!)
HK: Very handsome~
MH: Anyway, he became handsome.
JJ: Don't you want to give me any advice or something?
MH: No, I am to say the good part.
JJ: Thank you~
Host: It's actually because Jaejin cut his hair that Minhwan feels he's handsome. The other four treasures are really too comical. So what does the handsome Jaejin have to say to Seunghyun?
- Innermost thoughts: Jaejin to Seunghyun -
JJ: For me, I want to tell Seunghyun... there should be many things to say. Recently, he started to exercise together with me again. I hope that he will eat more, so that he can hurry and become stronger.
SH: Me?
JJ: If you're stronger, you'll come across as more of a man. Just put in a little more effort. The two of them are fighting every night, like they're playing around, hitting about every night. But it's a feeling like an adult playing with a child; it's always Minhwan who wins. When it looks like this, I seem pretty pitiful.
SH: Actually, those people who exercise, their hearts are always good-natured. I am very kind-hearted.
(Caption: Seunghyun, fighting!)
JJ: Don't try to bluff others.
SH: Yes.
JJ: I hope Seunghyun will quickly put in more effort; things will become better.
Host: Hopefully, the kind-hearted Seunghyun can hurry and build strength together with Jaejin. Do win Minhwan next time! And Seunghyun has many things to say to Hongki, who has been really busy lately. And the dispatch team's specially prepared birthday surprise for Minhwan; all of it will be revealed in the next segment. Don't miss it!
~~PART TWO
Host: The bubbly FTISLAND's five members really have a lot to say. Regardless of whether it is to tease or expectations (for one another), they are all really cute. For the finale, Seunghyun really has many caring words to say to Hongki!
- Innermost thoughts: Seunghyun to Hongki -
SH: What do I want to say to Hongki... The fans all know that Hongki is currently filming a movie. The film's original name was "Our Heaven(*direct translation)", but is now changed to "Fire Phoenix(*direct translation)". He is acting as a star who goes to the hospital to do social work. Hong-Star's starring makes everyone anticipate greatly. It's been filming for quite some time; he's quite tired, every time he wraps up filming and comes home, it is already the wee hours of the morning. And we nearly sleep till 2pm every day before waking up. We feel very sorry towards him.
HK: And Minhwan...
SH: Minhwan always sleeps until 2pm.
JH: Only Minhwan sleeps until 2pm?
SH: Yeah, so anyway, I hope that the following filming sessions can go smoothly too, and I hope that the movie can have great sales.
Host: Hongki, who has many roles to play, recently has to film a movie, do hosting, and also handle the business of being the main vocalist. He's really very busy. Our Hong-Star then said, because they're all work which he enjoys, so he will prepare even more seriously for everyone to see!
- Doing what he likes, Hongki is happy -
HK: I didn't particularly put in effort to do anything. I should say, I don't need to especially try to work for it. These are things which I have always been keeping an eye on. Because they are things which I like to do, so they're even easier to achieve. If I don't like something, doing it will become particularly difficult. But I'm always doing what I like: I like being a host, I also like singing, acting-wise, I also like it. And I'm very fortunate to have the chance to meet good works, to meet songs which sound good, to meet good television programmes; and so there are good results. I'm counted as one of those who have good luck, but because in future, there will be even more diverse developments, I have to start preparing ahead now. Then in the future, when I need to, I will practice and prepare. I don't work hard because of a particular goal which I want to attain, but I still try hard to practice singing.
Host: Hongki, who has always been showing us different faces, it's been really tough on you! But we also want to know, if leader Jonghun has the chance to become someone else for a day, who would he want to become?
- Leader Jonghun transforms into Hongki?! -
JH: I choose Hongki.
HK: Why me?
JH: Do I need a reason? Becayse his character is more rebellious, so if I become Hongki, maybe I can experience a different world, you'd never know. If you still can't feel it... I'm not thinking too much, just... I'm not thinking too much, but I just want to experience once, the life which he led before.
Host: I believe that if Jonghun transforms into Hongki, he can definitely also do very well! And from the very start, the one who has been praised by the members for becoming handsome, Jaejin, will now also display through his actions, where his charm lies. Jaejin's 3 consecutive selca shots will be coming soon~ Primadonnas, don't miss this!
- Jaejin's charming three selcas -
JJ: It's not, it's not, no, no.
All: Jaejin, Jaejin, Jaejin, Jaejin...
HK: Let's have a suave pose first~ A handsome expression. Please give us a facial pictorial. ACTION~!
(Caption: The handsome Jaejin)
MH: Cute, let's have a cute one next.
HK: Cute~
JJ: I don't know how to do cute.
JH: You know~ Jaejin, you used to always do cute expressions.
MH: Mouse, mouse expressions.
HK: Come, Jaejin, ACTION! It's coming~ ready, ACTION!
(Caption: Cute Jaejin)
HK: Sexy~
JJ: I really can't do sexy actions, I really don't have any sexy actions. I don't, I don't.
Host: Whether it's the cute or sexy Jaejin, every fan will want to properly keep him away, right? Additionally, everyone must already know that Seunghyun has recently been studiously learning Chinese. Now, let's allow him to show off the results of his studying!
- Seunghyun shows off his Chinese, confident as ever -
SH: Friend, teacher?! Teacher...
HK: Does that mean teacher?
SH: Listen to music... Right now, have you %^&* already?
MH: He's good at speaking.
SH: Have you eaten? You're very pretty. I love all of you. Thank you!!
Host: Seunghyun's enunciation is quite accurate; even his Twitter account was changed to the Chinese sounds (of his name). Still seriously studying is Seunghyun, whom I believe will have tremendous improvements soon! Minhwan is embracing a new challenge too: acting in a musical for the first time, he is very nervous. Minhwan is going to share with everyone his feelings during the practice and preparations!
- Minhwan prepares for his musical, nervous and excited -
MH: Currently, I am in the midst of practising hard for rehearsals. Because when I speak, my enunciation is a little (affected by my) big tongue, I spent a lot of time to correct that. I think that it'll be like that for my whole life; I won't be able to change it in the future.
SH: This is also Minhwan's charm.
MH: Because when I speak, because of the big tongue, I have already given up on acting. And when singing, I also have to dance. The singing part is already very difficult by itself, it's really very difficult. I am also trying hard to practice. Because this is my first time challenging a musical, I hope that I can do it smoothly. Fighting.
HK: What about the dancing?
MH: I really don't know how to dance.
HK: You don't dance that bad.
MH: Really? When did you see it?
JH: When you have the chance, you gotta dance properly.
HK: Anyway, there was this once.
MH: I hope everyone can come and watch my performance.
HK: Aren't there any other interesting things?
MH: Nothing really special.
HK: Doesn't Yunho-sunbae like you? He kept saying he wanted to act with you.
MH: Because this time, TVXQ's Yunho-sunbae is also acting together (with me), Sunbae also often teaches me many things. We're able to act in the musical together, and he often encourages me to perform well, there are such interactions.
(Caption: Minhwan, fighting for your musical!)
Host: And the dispatch team specially went to Korea this time to interview FTISLAND, coincidentally meeting with Minhwan's birthday. Such a special day, of course we had to celebrate it properly with the maknae! Dispatch staff, Chris, and the team also specially delivered fried chicken, which FT loves to eat, as well as a birthday cake. Let's hurry and listen to what Minhwan's birthday wishes are!
- Minhwan's birthday surprise -
All: Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, to our beloved Minhwan, happy birthday to you~ Happy birthday to you (x4)
Chris: Alright, now, in Taiwan, there is a tradition: The birthday boy/girl is the highest (in rank), and can make 3 wishes. And the three wishes must be said out loud except for the last one.
(Caption: Hongki's formidable palm wind...)
Staff: Please voice your wishes. The first two can be shared.
MH: Three? I hope to continue making music together with the members. And then... that the musical can have smooth performances. I wish that our members will all become rich people.
Chris: Then, here, apart from having prepared a cake, we also prepared, for today, the food which the members love to eat most.
HK: Chicken, chicken!
MH: Wow, this smell~
(Caption: Even smelling it will make them happy)
Chris: Apart... Apart from these, we have also prepared our local snacks as gifts for FTISLAND!

Chris: And this time, we have also prepared Taiwan's famous product, called pineapple pastry for FTISLAND.
(Caption: What are you doing?!)
HK: What is that?
MH: We've eaten that before.
Chris: Taiwan's famous product, pineapple pastry. This is to be given to our FTISLAND!
Host: We're really happy that FTISLAND took time off their busy schedules to hold an interview with 日韓音樂瘋. We are also anticipating the meeting with FT again in December. Lastly, let's have FTISLAND say a few things to Taiwan Pris!
- Words to Taiwan fans -
HK: We will go to Taiwan in December to meet everyone. I hope everyone can come and watch our concert. No matter when, whenever we think of Taiwan fans, we are always filled with grateful hearts. We will also repay you with interesting performances, please anticipate our performance. I hope we can play together happily. Thank you for always giving us strength no matter when it is. Thank you!

[ENG TRANS] FTISLAND Interview at Trendy #41: Special Date with FTISLAND in Seoul
PLEASE TAKE OUT WITH FULL CREDITS. THANK YOU ^^
Korean Flower Boy Band FTISLAND, who will come to Taiwan again in December for a concert; before the concert, they specially took time off in Seoul to grant TRENDY an exclusive interview. Now, come along with TRENDY and have a date together with the five treasures!
Currently busy with promotions for the new album FIVE TREASURE BOX and preparations for their impending concert in Taiwan, FTISLAND specially took time out from their busy schedules and granted TRENDY this exclusive interview. Meeting FTISLAND again after a very long time, the members kept saying that because they wish to come to Taiwan and meet everyone again, they feel really excited! Even the busiest amongst the members, Hongki, who rushes to shoot a movie and MC for a music show, did his best to cutely say that he's so busy that he is a little tired, but his good mood was totally portrayed on his ever-smiling face!
A shooting process which is really 'HIGH' with laughter
Before the interview when the cover and individual shoots were taken, the treasures' good-natured rough-housing filled the venue with endless laughter. TRENDY also prepared a celebratory cake for FTISLAND member - Minhwan - whose birthday is in November, which was used as a prop during the shoot. But because of the boys' mischievous jokes, there were many instances where the shriek-inducing "cake-in-danger" incidents nearly happened. Thankfully, Minhwan's reflexes were fast, and the cake safely completed the shoot. And Seunghyun, who never misses a chance to practice his Chinese every time he sees the TRENDY team, suddenly spouted Chinese. This not only made the TRENDY team burst out laughing, the members also could not stop laughing. During Jaejin's individual shoot, he even had to stop the shoot because Seunghyun was too funny. And when Seunghyun and Jaejin joined hands to make jokes, they even managed to make the normally-calm Jonghun leader take a deep breath with difficulty and ask them both to quit fooling around!
Q&A time
Before the TRENDY team came to Seoul to interview FTISLAND, we gathered all the things that everyone wanted to say to FTISLAND or questions which they wished to ask the members on the official fan club. The response was very warm, so apart from conveying everyone's heartfelt messages, TRENDY also included the most popular and the most unique questions to ask the treasures in the interview.
－In December, FTISLAND will come to Taiwan again to hold a large-scale concert. This time, did the members prepare anything special which they want to give to everyone in Taiwan?
HK: (laughs) This time, we prepared a lot which we want to do; and we also want to give everyone a different performance from before. Yeah... This time, we will pursue a style which is more rock. On the day of the concert, everyone, please feel it!
－The release of this album, FIVE TREASURE BOX, yielded great results not only in Korea, but also in Taiwan. Please introduce and promote this album a little!
HK: We're really very thankful to the support from the fans, especially the warmth from the Taiwan fans. They have never let us down before, (so) we're very happy that the new album has yielded good results.
SH: This album holds a lot of our own creations: There are songs which I composed together with Minhwan and filled with lyrics from Hongki-hyung. We hope that you will listen to each and every one of the songs.
JJ: Our title song this time, I Wish, has a starting which is full of Latin-style charm, but once you get to the turning-point of a chorus, it is a style with a different sort of charm. Together with the lyrics, which speak of rather realistic emotions, it is a very attractive song, and one which I most recommend. I hope everyone likes it and supports us!
MH: I really recommend Paper Plane. This should be a type of song of a new challenge. After listening to it, your mood will be good, and it's also a song which is more enjoyable the more you listen to it, a song which you will want to keep on listening to.
HK: LIFE, which has a strong rhythm and was created by Jonghun and I, is the one which I most want to recommend to everyone to listen to. Please feel the charm of this song!
JH: Yes...... U, which I composed, didn't receive much good comments from the members, but this song is full of my thoughts which I want to express to the fans. I ask for everyone to support. (pouts)
－FTISLAND, who has been to Taiwan many times, if you have the chance, will you consider coming to Taiwan for a 'LONG STAY'?
SH: Although I've gone to Taiwan many times, I've not had the chance to go around and take a look. Taiwan's weather is warm, so I really want to go!
HK: (The question) is asking whether you want to go for a 'LONG STAY', not whether you want to go for a holiday!
SH: (sudden enlightenment on his face) Ah...... During the 'LONG STAY', I can also go for a holiday, haha~
JJ: Everytime we go to Taiwan, whether it's a meet-and-greet or a concert, we can always feel the Taiwan fans' strong warmth and their hearts which support us with overflowing love. So if we have a chance to come to Taiwan for a 'LONG STAY', then we should, in that time, have performances non-stop in Taiwan!
HK: What a tough challenge!
JJ: Hongki-ssi, let's challenge it together and see!
MH: Of course we have to go. It'll be good to bring my mother along; I think she'll like Taiwan too!
JH: If there's a chance, of course I want to go. Challenging and learning new things, experiencing the local life, eating the local food in Taiwan should be a very good experience.
HK: Previously, we also did a 'LONG STAY' in Japan. To be honest, it's very harsh. You have to work hard at learning the language; you also have to overcome the many situations which arise due to cultural differences. But it's also because we learnt many things, got to know many local friends, gathered precious life experiences, received many chances to go on Japanese variety shows and act in Japanese dramas, etc, that we have such good results in Japan. So if there was a similar chance to go to Taiwan, even if we know that hardship is hard to avoid, I would still want to give it a shot in Taiwan!
－A while ago, FTISLAND specially went to the hospital to visit a Malaysian fan, giving that fan a tremendous amount of encouragement, and then made the other fans feel touched. Can you talk about this matter?
HK: That Malaysian fan came to Korea in order to have her operation and treatment, and we just had the chance to go and visit her. Although she is of a young age, she has already gone through many treatment operations. At first, when we went to visit her, we were actually a little worried. We couldn't stop thinking about how to cheer her on and encourage her, so we kept saying a lot of things which are happy and funny. But this friend, she's a lot more outgoing and optimistic than what we thought. Not only is her face always with a smile, her eyes are also full of sparkle: This made us feel sorry and also very touched. We hope she can continue to push on!
(Although the other members didn't say anything and just nodded their heads, their faces revealed smiles and their eyes became warm.)
－Maybe there is no way to personally go to the sides of every fan and give them encouragement, but do the members have anything to say to the fans who wish to receive your encouragement?
HK: Finding something which you really like and want to do is the most important. Perhaps right now, we're not all that perfect or have attained our dreams, but we are still persistently working on the type of music we like. Of course, you'll definitely experience hardship or difficulties, but you've gotta continue moving towards the direction of your dreams. No matter what, if you don't give up, you will definitely reap results. So no matter what huge hardship and difficulty you meet, always remember, work hard a little more, and good things will happen!
(Hearing Hongki's words, the members all nodded in agreement one after another!)

HK: We're really very thankful to the support from the fans, especially the warmth from the Taiwan fans. They have never let us down before, (so) we're very happy that the new album has yielded good results.
SH: This album holds a lot of our own creations: There are songs which I composed together with Minhwan and filled with lyrics from Hongki-hyung. We hope that you will listen to each and every one of the songs.
JJ: Our title song this time, I Wish, has a starting which is full of Latin-style charm, but once you get to the turning-point of a chorus, it is a style with a different sort of charm. Together with the lyrics, which speak of rather realistic emotions, it is a very attractive song, and one which I most recommend. I hope everyone likes it and supports us!
MH: I really recommend Paper Plane. This should be a type of song of a new challenge. After listening to it, your mood will be good, and it's also a song which is more enjoyable the more you listen to it, a song which you will want to keep on listening to.
HK: LIFE, which has a strong rhythm and was created by Jonghun and I, is the one which I most want to recommend to everyone to listen to. Please feel the charm of this song!
JH: Yes...... U, which I composed, didn't receive much good comments from the members, but this song is full of my thoughts which I want to express to the fans. I ask for everyone to support. (pouts)
－FTISLAND, who has been to Taiwan many times, if you have the chance, will you consider coming to Taiwan for a 'LONG STAY'?
SH: Although I've gone to Taiwan many times, I've not had the chance to go around and take a look. Taiwan's weather is warm, so I really want to go!
HK: (The question) is asking whether you want to go for a 'LONG STAY', not whether you want to go for a holiday!
SH: (sudden enlightenment on his face) Ah...... During the 'LONG STAY', I can also go for a holiday, haha~
JJ: Everytime we go to Taiwan, whether it's a meet-and-greet or a concert, we can always feel the Taiwan fans' strong warmth and their hearts which support us with overflowing love. So if we have a chance to come to Taiwan for a 'LONG STAY', then we should, in that time, have performances non-stop in Taiwan!
HK: What a tough challenge!
JJ: Hongki-ssi, let's challenge it together and see!
MH: Of course we have to go. It'll be good to bring my mother along; I think she'll like Taiwan too!
JH: If there's a chance, of course I want to go. Challenging and learning new things, experiencing the local life, eating the local food in Taiwan should be a very good experience.
HK: Previously, we also did a 'LONG STAY' in Japan. To be honest, it's very harsh. You have to work hard at learning the language; you also have to overcome the many situations which arise due to cultural differences. But it's also because we learnt many things, got to know many local friends, gathered precious life experiences, received many chances to go on Japanese variety shows and act in Japanese dramas, etc, that we have such good results in Japan. So if there was a similar chance to go to Taiwan, even if we know that hardship is hard to avoid, I would still want to give it a shot in Taiwan!
－A while ago, FTISLAND specially went to the hospital to visit a Malaysian fan, giving that fan a tremendous amount of encouragement, and then made the other fans feel touched. Can you talk about this matter?
HK: That Malaysian fan came to Korea in order to have her operation and treatment, and we just had the chance to go and visit her. Although she is of a young age, she has already gone through many treatment operations. At first, when we went to visit her, we were actually a little worried. We couldn't stop thinking about how to cheer her on and encourage her, so we kept saying a lot of things which are happy and funny. But this friend, she's a lot more outgoing and optimistic than what we thought. Not only is her face always with a smile, her eyes are also full of sparkle: This made us feel sorry and also very touched. We hope she can continue to push on!
(Although the other members didn't say anything and just nodded their heads, their faces revealed smiles and their eyes became warm.)
－Maybe there is no way to personally go to the sides of every fan and give them encouragement, but do the members have anything to say to the fans who wish to receive your encouragement?
HK: Finding something which you really like and want to do is the most important. Perhaps right now, we're not all that perfect or have attained our dreams, but we are still persistently working on the type of music we like. Of course, you'll definitely experience hardship or difficulties, but you've gotta continue moving towards the direction of your dreams. No matter what, if you don't give up, you will definitely reap results. So no matter what huge hardship and difficulty you meet, always remember, work hard a little more, and good things will happen!
(Hearing Hongki's words, the members all nodded in agreement one after another!)

Q: What 3 treasures would you like to put into your treasure box?
Jonghun
#1: Food that he likes
#2: Family (parents)
#3: FTISLAND and staff
Three things that Jonghunnie wishes to place in his treasure box…
Firstly, I think the most important is food, things we eat. Because eating is an important thing, and I like to eat. That is the first thing I wish to put in my treasure box.
Secondly, I want to put my parents. My parents are the most precious people to me in this world; I’m always thankful towards them, and I love them. So I must definitely put my parents into my treasure box.
Thirdly… thirdly, it would be the staff and members. I want to put all the people around me inside. All along, they’ve helped me a lot and in the future, I feel that we will challenge more opportunities and experiences. That’s why I want to put them in.
Hongki
#1: Handphone
#2: FTISLAND
#3: Family (parents)
The first treasure I want to put in is… The first treasure should be… Handphone. Then the second… I want to put the members in, as treasures. The third treasure is my parents.
(Please elaborate)
For the handphone… I think it's the same for everyone: without handphones, we’ll all feel very bored.
The reason for putting in members is, they’re friends who are fulfilling their dreams together with me. If there is one person less, the chance of our dreams perishing is very great, so we have to walk together. Should I say we’re colleagues? What do you call it? Partners? Yes, they’re my partners.
For my parents, whether it’s when I’m in pain, upset or happy, they’ll always be with me. My parents are the people who gave birth to me, so that is a relationship where we cannot be separated.
Can’t I add one more? Credit card? I think that the credit card is very important.
Jaejin
#1: FTISLAND
#2: Fans
#3: Computer
My first treasure is FTISLAND. The second treasure is the fans. The third treasure is… saying children seems a bit too early. Then, my third treasure is… uh… the computer. It should be like this.
The reason for putting in FTISLAND is because it is my all. In future too, it will still be my all; no one can replace it. So to me, FTISLAND is a very precious treasure.
Then, my second treasure is all of the fans. The fans, no matter what, when we’re upset or happy, will always be by our side protecting us, cheering us on. So they are also a party who I want to cherish.
Third is the computer, because I can use it to play games, watch dramas, and make songs, or watch interesting movies. It can help me relieve much of the stress from work. So it’s a very precious object.
Minhwan
#1: Handphone
#2: Wallet
#3: Car keys
I feel that right now, the first treasure I wish to place in the treasure box is my handphone. Second is my wallet. Third is my car keys.
I want to put my handphone in because I want to contact other people, because I am afraid of being lonely. Additionally, I’m living apart from my parents. That is the best tool for communication. So I chose the handphone.
The second is my wallet. Because inside it, there are many photographs, money, credit card and many other types of daily necessities. So I chose the wallet.
Lastly, it’s the car keys. Because I like to travel around: The car is a little space which can bring me away, so I will want to put my car keys into my treasure box.
Seunghyun
#1: Family (Parents and brother)
#2: FTISLAND
#3: Guitar
Now, I’ll tell everyone my three treasures.
I think that the first treasure is my family, my parents and younger brother. They are the driving force behind how I managed to come so far. My parents and family, who allowed me to grow up in a loving environment since young, are my first treasure.
The second treasure is our members. They motivate me keep on moving forward. All along, they have given me a lot. Whether I’m lonely or upset, they will always be by my side, protecting me and cheering me on. If I didn’t have them, I think I wouldn’t have been able to cope until now. So the members are my second treasure.
Then, the third treasure is my instrument, the guitar. In future, we should always be together; I still want to produce more music. The guitar is like my family and friend. So my third treasure is the guitar.
