In the Korean idol culture dominated by singing and dancing groups, FTIsland in the form of an orchestra is a very special existence, and their success has also influenced the idol groups CNBLUE and N.Flying that were launched by the company later.

The group name is the abbreviation of "Five Treasure Island", and each member is a precious existence like a treasure island!

In the Korean idol culture dominated by singing and dancing groups, FTIsland in the form of an orchestra is a very special existence, and their success has also influenced the idol groups CNBLUE and N.Flying that were launched by the company later.

The debut album in 2007 became the 6th best-selling album in South Korea that year. The title song "Love Disease" has the honor of "three champion songs" (three channels: Mnet, SBS, KBS, MBC's "Music Center" at that time. "There is no one system), and won MKMF (predecessor of MAMA) and the Golden Disc Newcomer Award.

FTIsland - Love Disease

And the work "Bad Woman" in 2009 was already famous for its good songs, but in 2013 it became a topic in Taiwan again!

FTISLAND - Bad Woman

In order to facilitate people who do not speak foreign languages to learn Japanese and Korean songs, the "empty ear culture" of rewriting lyrics with Chinese homophones has been popular for many years. Some lyrics are simply written in homophones. In order to make it easier for people to learn to sing, the lyrics have no special meaning; Some people will deliberately choose spoof words and use empty lyrics to give songs new meaning. But it has been popular for so many years in the empty ear... There has never been a song that can be more classic than FTIsland's "Bad Woman"~

One day, a Taiwanese netizen posted on the PTT forum , "I want to ask the title of a Korean song. The chorus sounds like 'Go to the south to get dentures~ It's so crowded~'" I didn't expect that netizens quickly found out that it was FTIsland's "Bad Woman" >! It is obviously a very sad song, but it was heard as such a funny empty ear XDD netizens began to write various versions of the complete empty ear lyrics for this song with "Go to the south to get dentures". This incident was not only widely reported by the media, but also the members I know it all.

Later, FTIsland came to Taiwan to hold a concert, and the organizer really cooperated with a dental clinic in Kaohsiung. With the concert ticket stub, the dentist was exempted from the registration fee. You can really go to the south to get dentures XDDDD

Before their debut, FTIsland worked as an underground band in Japan. They made their official debut in Japan in 2010. Their first Japanese regular album topped the Oricon Oricon chart in the first week of release. It is the first time that an overseas male singer has achieved this achievement.

FTIsland - love love love

The lead singer Li Hongji's characteristic hoarse voice is quite recognizable, which made him aggrieved and said that he had changed his singing style, and he was recognized immediately when he appeared in "King of Masked Singer". Not only does he sing well, he is also very active in dramas, variety shows and radio hosts as a child star. The most classic role is Jeremy who played in the Korean drama "So Beautiful Boy" in 2009, and he also won the Newcomer Award at the SBS Acting Awards. Woolen cloth!

FTIsland - hard love

And although Choi Min-hwan is the youngest, he was the first among the members to get married and become a father. The target was Yul-hee, a former member of the girl group LABOUM. The two fell in love and got married during their idol careers, although they were very young. However, I already have three children, and I once showed the family's parenting routine in Han Zong's "Man Doing Housework 2", and the interaction is quite cute~

please answer 2009

Please read the instruction manual carefully
  • The years of debut and release of the singers reviewed are about 2003-2012, mainly the second-generation groups, there may be solos, and the so-called 2.5th generation to the beginning of the 3rd generation may appear blurred.
  • 2️Most of the works after 2009, I also entered the kpop pit in 2009, and the Korean wave began to spread to the whole Asia and the world around 2009, so I chose "Please answer 2009 Reply 2009" as the project name.
  • A plan that is quite selfish, just like Cheng Shiyuan in 1997 has selfishness towards HOT. I will post a lot of groups I like, and some groups may not be posted at all. Don't take it seriously.
