Fly High Like The Birds, FT Island.

I could not believe that I will skip class because of FT Island—the consequence of staying up pretty damn late to watch the new music video and listen to all the songs in the new remake album from FT Island make me wake up damn late to attend the morning class in college this morning. The class starts at nine and I find my self waking up at eleven. Yeah, this is like so fucking well to my upcoming grade.



Anyway, back to the original reason for this post—FT Island finally releases the music video for 새들처럼 (Like The Birds) as the title song for the remake album MEMORY IN FT ISLAND they simultaneously release on midnight of October 10.

Oh my God, what in the world is this perfection. It is not a lie that the five boys of FT Island are all pretty much perfect in their own personal way but for the sake of my fucking life—how could they become this amazingly perfect in such a short period of time. The image for the music video is so beautiful, I shed tears of happiness over this piece of perfection in three minutes and thirty seconds.

The original song is quite lovely by its own but the remake from FT Island makes the song a million times more wonderful. FT Island does all the justice in the world for this song—to be able to make an even lovelier song from a song that comes out before any of the members are actually born. This is the kind of song that sticks to your mind after just three to four times. It is smooth and upbeat, mostly a fun song to smile and dance along in whatever situation.

Have I actually mentioned how lovely Hongki sings and how it wonderfully blends in with the harmonizing raps from Seunghyun and Jaejin. I have no doubt that the three creates such a beautiful collaboration and a harmony that not all groups in this growing Korean Pop world would manage to create but this song proves that these three boys are perfect in terms of vocal.

I love how Seunghyun sounds stronger and more powerful in his rap nowadays. He sheds the image of a new member pretty well and he blends in with the flow of the music just perfectly. He raps smoothly in this song and makes a nice collaboration with Jaejin. Jaejin—he has such wonderful voice that it makes me want to cry every time he manages to have parts in songs to sing. He is good in the terms of vocal but his rap talent is incredibly good. As for Hongki—come on, do I really have to say anything about this powerful vocalist with his incredible vocal. His voice is distinctive and very powerful, he makes this song wonderful.

FT Island does justice for all the songs they remake, unlike some.

The music video, again—it is beautiful in terms of the cinematography and the colors and the overall video. It does not have an obvious storyline—or maybe not obvious enough for me except that five boys having a ride on a Jeep which a drummer kid drives while dancing randomly before they begin to run wildly across this empty desert and ends up with their instruments and mysterious sets of spotlights that appear out of nowhere. I am not the Director but I like this concept because it gives a free spirit sense to whoever watches it. Putting aside the usual heavily dramatic and emotional music video from FT Island—lets count the time we cry at the music videos of Until You Return or maybe Heaven and even the oblivious storyline of Hello Hello—this actually gives the boys of FT Island a bright and light environment, probably similar to how they are in the music video of I Hope but minus the romantic time travelling storyline. It is fun and light and makes whoever watches it want to join in the fun. Well, I know I want to be a part of that fun music video.

I do not give a damn about the controversial Jeep or anything. I only pay attention to the great music video and the song itself. As for the boys of FT Island—well, they are like the cherries on top of my favorite sundae. They give perfection and satisfaction, all in the same time—to my ears and my eyes.

What makes this music video fun is the fair share of camera time on each member—this time we could not see too much Hongki like how it is in the music video of Love Love Love or too little time of guitarist Jonghoon like in Hello Hello. We have ample close-ups shots for each member—with an exception of Hongki who of course snags most but who is going to complain anyway—and we have the opportunity to enjoy a solo guitar riff from leader guitarist. All fan-girls will not be able to complain anything now.

We have many eye candy moments to share around.

Most fan-girls and that includes me, probably miss the time when FT Island comes out with heavy dramatic and emotional music videos that make us cry and want to kill someone or just simply cut our wrist in exasperation—watching the boys severely beaten or just simply killed off by some villain we still have vengeance on—but to have a space to breath and just have fun in music videos are actually quite fun. The only time we manage to see them brightly smile or jumping around like the kids they will always be are probably in their Japanese music videos—the overdose of jump scenes in Let It Go and the swag moments in Flower Rock, who could forget. I give out my compliment to the director for this chance for the members to just let go and be free to have fun in this music video.

Yes, I have listen to all five songs in the remake album and yes, I have already point out my favorites. I do not know if I will have the time to write a review on each song but I guess it will probably happen within this week. I am not quite sure about the first comeback performance from FT Island—whether they will appear on MNET M!Countdown or not but I certainly know that they will perform on SBS Inkigayo on Sunday.

With the upcoming comeback from the girl group I still refuse to write in my blog because on certain reasons that piss me off big time and Secret—my new favorite girl group—I surely do hope that FT Island will eventually win something on music show charts. I miss the time when they have the chance to say out their acknowledgement upon a victory. Korean music world needs something that branches out from their usual Korean Pop bubblegum pop songs with dance moves that has somehow bore me—like the music from a band like FT Island. FT Island deserves to win. They deserve to win more than anyone else and I am sorry to say this to fans of other groups but they really need to win. FT Island needs to win.

Anyway, I need to perform my prayer right now. I will get back into considering the review on MEMORY IN FTISLAND soon. In the mean time, let us all pray that FT Island will have a huge success with this remake album. FT Island, all the best.

FT Island Says, "Like The Birds".

Oh shit, thank you FNC Music for actually giving me a reason to update my dying blog. And yes, thank you the five boys of FT Island for making me want to write about your perfection again. Yes everyone, it is finally the time of the year—the time when I died, and came back to live, died again and still, return into the world of the living for the greatness of FT Island has shown.



FT Island is set to make a comeback after months of hiatus since their last release of mini-album Return, on October 10th. The band of five gorgeous members will release a remake album—Memory In FT Island—on October 10th and the teaser for the title song, 새들처럼—translated as Like The Birds—has been released on October 7th.

And yes, allow me to shine some light upon this perfect fifty-three seconds teaser. Dear every other entertainment companies out there—yes, I am talking to each and every one of you—please take example of how amazing FNC Music does with the teaser for their artists. They do not put in something that will ridiculously disappear in the main music video, some random music bits that does not even have anything to do with the original song. Learn how to tease properly like FNC Music does.

Good job, FNC Music. That was one hell of a perfect teaser that literally tease.

Next, let us talk about how gorgeous the boys look in the teaser. Song Seunghyun my dear, I know I practically want to kill someone when I saw your current hairstyle previously but now that I managed to accept with an open heart, I think it suits you perfectly. This goes to all of the members—Hongki, your curly hairstyle receives two thumbs up from me, don’t worry. As for Jaejin, I am so freaking thankful you cut it shorter. Even if it is still blonde, I like it. Leader Jonghoon, why do you always look ridiculously perfect? Please don’t ruin my bias list. And hey youngest Minhwan, God you look awesome.

Anyone wants to join in the troll session as I can’t get over Minhwan driving the jeep?

The song is a remake of a 1988 song by Byun Jisup. Yes, I have heard the original song and yes, it was amazing. But it was in a slower tone. FT Island just made it into a song worth the head-bang and the dorky dance. Yes, it worth destroying that controversial jeep. I don’t see the harm in it. Mr. Jeep Owner, you are a big time troll.

I still could not figure out a storyline, basically just a music video about a group of five boys cynically vandalize a jeep in the middle of the dessert while throwing random music notes and dance around like monkeys before they find their place with the spotlights and instruments to rock their heart out. Okay there dear Mr. Director, I see what you have there.

Now I demand the full music video to be released now.

How am I supposed to go through until October 10th without constantly raping the replay button on YouTube? I don’t feel like doing anything else and thank God it is already Friday here in Malaysia and the weekend is coming. I am going to continuously die with this teaser.

And hey, if there are news about how other artists are avoiding making comebacks in the same month as the girl group I refuse to mention in my blog because on some particular reasons is also making the so-called epic comeback this month, I can see that FNC Music does not fear this. FT Island is still going to release their album, may come whatever in their way.

It is not about the winnings on weekly music shows or the CD sales that matter, it is the gift they want to give to their fans and the music they want to do. I don’t give a fuck if they do not win anything. All I ever care is that FT Island is making a comeback. My whole family will have the weekly dose of FT Island on television with this comeback. Wait until I tell my mother, she will completely freak out.

The full music video is set to release on October 10th, along with the remake album.

Now, it is time to beg my mother to lend me some money to get this into my collection.

FT ISLAND, THANK YOU FOR MAKING THE WORLD SUCH A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE FOR ME. THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME A REASON TO LISTEN TO YOUR WONDERFUL MUSIC, THANK YOU.

Choi Jonghoon, Lee Hongki, Lee Jaejin, Song Seunghyun and Choi Minhwan; thank you for being such perfections. I do not care if I have to wave my pentastick sadly at home and watch the comeback performances one hour late, or I have to spend three days away from the Internet and miss three of your upcoming comeback performance, I just want to thank you for this wonderful experience you are giving me as a fan.

Hello Hello is such a flawless performance, I could not even find a word to describe it. FNC Music, thank you for making the boys of FT Island perfect. God, thank you for creating such perfect five human beings in this world. FT Island, thank you for the good music and the fan service. I will go and have my vacation in bliss right now.



I AM STILL GOING TO USE CAPS LOCK TO EXPRESS MY EXCITEMENT OVER THIS AMAZING PERFORMANCE. I STILL DO NOT CARE IF ANYONE ELSE IS BASHING OR HATING THEM, FIVE TREASURE ISLAND IS THE BEST. GO TO HELL, HATERS. THEY ARE AMAZING AND US PRIMADONNAS KNOW THAT THEY WILL BE AMAZING FOREVER. YOU GUYS A PERFECT, PERIOD. ENOUGH CAPS LOCK, THANK YOU FOR THE PERFECTION.

Everybody Say Hello, Hello, Hello.



BREATHING AND BEING ALIVE ARE IRRELEVANT, THE AWESOME BOYS OF FT ISLAND ARE BACK WITH HELLO HELLO.

I have died, got back to life, died again and was revived just in time to make this update. My favorite boy band has finally returned with such an amazing comeback song, Hello Hello.

FNC Music, although I am expecting the amazing guitar riffs in this song and music video, I am completely grateful that for once, you managed to give an amazing song to the most amazing boy band I ever encounter in my life. I mean, I love this song to bits. The lyrics and the rhythm—they are no longer just another boy band with mellow ballads. They start to sound darker and more into the rock genre, finally.

Although, I do not mind if they take out the bridge part, the one that goes everybody say because it sounds so much like their junior counterpart. I mean, the whole sound is totally different from their junior counterpart but that particular bridge makes them similar. I love FT Island sound, it is more define and sounds rock better than the junior counterpart but the bridge makes it all similar. The bridge however, could act as a fan service—imagine how the fan chant will be—it will be awesome. The verses are amazing—remind me more of My Chemical Romance, but slightly lighter. The chorus is well made; it got stuck easily and easy to remember.

The music video however, I am still in the process of interpreting it into my own understanding. You are allowed to share your opinions about it though. I am guessing that Hongki died, trying to save the rest of the band. But I am not sure, it sort of feels like a déjà vu or an imagination. Or is it the other way around, the four of FT Island died and the vocalist is outside, watching.

But oh my God, no one has ever look as sexy as Seunghyun in a tight red pants. And there is a goat on the fire truck, Jaejin—who sits there amidst of a fire like a boss. There needs to be more Jonghoon and Minhwan though, I mean—look at Jonghoon’s guns. Since when does he have such great guns, I am drooling over it. I dare to say this Hello Hello era is the best era for the five boys of FT Island. No disastrous hair and even the blonde ones look good. I love the styles they are putting on, a bit more stylish that before. They should keep this look for a very long time, I approve.

I love the cinematography of the music video and the creativity too, congratulation Mr. Director. I love the appearance of all ethnicity in this music video too—I mean, I see Caucasians, Asians, et cetera. If you wondering where they are filming the music video—and if you answer New York, you are wrong—they did it all in South Korea itself. I saw a picture of the filming site on DCGallery. They manage to fool you with the New York Fire Department, Flaxton Street.

I am willing to break my piggy bank to buy RETURN mini-album because the songs are amazing, all of it. There are no mellow ballads, just upbeat, rock songs with a sweet sound tune among the five songs. I am going to break my head to get my hands on the mini-album.

The Return of The Five Treasure Island, Almost.



And you are expecting me to actually study diligently for my final examinations—well, I am proud to say that you are all just absolutely wrong. How am I supposed to focus on my studies when I have difficulties in breathing upon what happens to be the most hyperventilating forty-six seconds in my life, seriously.

Congratulations FNC Music, you have successfully teased all fan girls of FT Island around the world, you probably has no idea that some of us just have our brains exploded due to the excitement.

I approve this instrumental teaser and I double approve the hotness that goes along with it—I mean, what will be better than the boys of FT Island to be good boys turn bad boys. Honestly, who does not need a dose of those delicious music and overly dramatic music videos nowadays. I need those and much more, like freaking right now.

All hail the comeback of the black nail polish.

Dear Song Seunghyun, I do approve you and your red pants. Yes, you have heard me right; I approve you in this music video. All I need now is the full music video, because I am already hyperventilating over the reality that this music video might just have dramatic storyline—and yes, I need that instantly. I am anticipating a rap to be inserted somewhere along the song, yes please.

This is an eye rape—if that is even a word—and the song will soon be an ear rape.

Right now, I could not think straight. FT Island boys made me says the weirdest things—they bring out the eccentric vocabularies I own.

Okay, I need to get back to study—although it is three in the morning here in my place. I could not concentrate, because all I could think about is how long will it takes to be on the May 24. FT Island, I need you right now.

I am already molesting the refresh and replay button, to think about the full music video to release on May 24—I might just rape my own computer that day.

Five Treasure Island And Its Satisfaction.

This is actually a surprise—FT Island has releases the music video for their latest Japanese single, Satisfaction on April 5. I remembered that the teaser was released just a little less than a week ago. Anyway, I am not going to complain about it because I like my satisfaction to be sent in early too.




The slow-motions scenes in the music video of Satisfaction must have been the slowest yet the best slow-motions scenes I have even encounter in my life. These slow-motions scenes give a fan girl the perfect moments to stare at the perfections of these five gorgeous boys. Although I have to unwillingly agree that the music video is a bit dull and slightly too simple, but—God saves me—the boys have never look as awesome as they are in any other music video but this one.

Satisfaction—the song is a better improvement than their last Japanese single, So Today—which has to be my least favorite Japanese single from them since their major debut in 2010. I am sorry but I don’t really have So Today as my daily dose of FT Island. I would skip that song most of the time, sorry. But this has a nice anime feeling to it and considering that it is an ending theme for an anime currently, who would argue about that. I love the amazing beat and the flow of the song from its beginning to its end. One thing I particularly like about Satisfaction that it has fair flow of the voices from amazing vocalist Hongki, Jaejin and my absolute bias Seunghyun. I like his rap parts; it adds some edge and funkiness to this song. It gives somewhat an energetic feel to it.

I do not do Japanese translation because I have ditch my Japanese lesson years ago so I will not complain much about the lyrics. Based on observation though, I hear not much of English words but the word Satisfaction in the rap part. I like that it does not have some random English lyrics here and there (in reference of Flower Rock and my favorite Brand New Days).

As for the appearance and the eye candies of the music video, I would have to say that this has to be the most normal yet absolutely amazing appearances of the boys of FT Island that I have ever see. I like this, simple yet it brings out the awesomeness of each member. Although I am missing the blonde on Seunghyun lately, I could not agree more than his current black makes him looks younger by five years. I love his blue jacket, someone please buy one for me. I also like what leader Jonghoon is wearing, it brings out the leader charisma—of which I do not know why I feel it that way. I approve Hongki and his hair, with no extra rant attach.

Jaejin makes putting on a jacket looks so amazingly sexy in the slow-motion scene. It is not easy to make something easy looks sexy but Jaejin pulls it off. I was staring at the screen of my laptop like crazy over the slow-motion scenes. I already expect Seunghyun to do something no one else will—jumping. But hey, he must be the coolest person to jump and looks good simultaneously in a slow-motion shot. Good job, my favorite guitarist. One thing to rant though is the lack of drummer Minhwan and Jonghoon in this amazing music video. Come on, directors tend to have this flaw from one music video to another. Why can’t you satisfy all us fan girls?

Now that I am complete head over heels for this song, I am considering the option of buying the single. Although with the news that FT Island is going to release a Japanese full album—with their previous hits and new song s include in May—I am also thinking about just buying the full album instead. But if I could stare at the perfect album cover of Satisfaction all day long like an insane fan, why would I take the time to wait anyway? I believe FT Island will have it big with Satisfaction, now that it reflects their awesomeness plus it is featured as the ending theme for anime Toriko. Good publicity never hurts, and they are awesome in their own ways anyway.

The Vocalist And His Eyeliner.


My mom and my sisters watched this performance through the television on KBS World channel with me tonight and believe me, the four of us squealed like a bunch of happy girl campers throughout the performance. I can't never get my mom to squeal over any other Korean artists accept for FT Island. The performance tonight is just too amazing for words. Oh, and one more thing; Lee Hongki, my mom told you to ditch the eyeliner anytime soon. She said you look too girly, although I kind of like it. And tonight, I get my mom to appreciate the cuteness of Song Seunghyun for three amazing minutes.

Dear Leader, I officially envied the relationship between you and your Gibson girlfriend.

Dear Boys.


found via weheartit

Let me get this straight—a minority of boys in my college (and I am not afraid to reveal the name here, but due to privacy matter and to avoid some misunderstanding although I never care, I will not reveal any names…at least, not yet) annoyed the hell out of me. Surely boys—as a girl, I will not deny that I am attracted to almost every cute boys I ever met—but do some of those boys really have to be oh-so-lousy, they make me wish they were never born. Forgive me, but this is so true.

Do boys always have to use the F word in all words? Okay, I admit I use the F words all the time but at least I know what it means and where to actually insert it in my sentences. But the boys in my Basic English class don’t even know what the F word mean and used it against our lecturer. What the hell is going on with boys nowadays? Don’t use the F word if you don’t get the meaning well, morons. It gets all freakingly annoying by the time I leave the class on every Monday. So stop, you are making me hate everyone who uses the F word. And fantastic, even Hongki knows how to use that word now. Who is his English teacher?

I know I could get on your nerves sometimes dear boys, but do you really have to hit me as if I am your punching bag? What kind of boys hit girls so often, I feel like punching him right in his face so that he could understand how freaking mad I am at him. In each conversation, your hand will hit me right on my shoulder. Do you know how freaking painful is was to be hit by boys? Do you? How do you feel if I slap you? Don’t touch me as you like. I hate boys who hit and touch me as if I am something everyone could get their hands on. Excuse me; I am not that kind of girl. Try to hit me one more time, and I’ll make sure you will never even dare to look at me again after this. I mean it. I could sue you if I really want to (I guess).

Where have all the polite boys gone to? Where are all the Jonghoon-like boys who would pull out a chair for a girl to sit or who would do something that makes a girl feel appreciated, at least? Oh come on, don’t tell me boys like this don’t exist anymore. If it is true, go and teach yourself some manners dear boys. I like boys, I freaking hate boys who have no manners and treat girls like rubbish. Get your act straight first, dear boys.

In the end, this ended up becoming a rant post for all the boys who I’ve met in my life—and you, who hit me for more than two times today in Basic English class, who is a year younger than me but never treat me politely as he should, make sure you never lay your hands on me ever again or you will regret it forever. I mean it. I am mean, and I am not afraid to use violence against you.

FT Island And Their Poker Face(s).


courtesy of zcandyflossz01

You know what would never fail to amuse me other than the bright blue sky on one fine day—probably it has something to do with the fact that FT Island has once again amuses me with their LOL-worthy English. But hey, this is a LOL-improvement I am talking about. And by any chance, this LOL-improvement or whatsoever I am talking about involves FT Island, as they perform they rock version of Poker Face.

Oh, seriously—Poker Face from Lady Gaga?

Damn it, I’ll take that back. FT Island rocks this rock version of Lady Gaga, it forced me to love Poker Face once again. I know I have to compliment FT Island for their amazing live performance of 사랑사랑사랑 (Love, Love, Love) on Kim Jungeun’s Chocolate—and honestly, music shows killed the greatness of this song by not letting them performed it live big time—but I guess I’ve said this over and over again. They are great. But for Poker Face, I am impressed.

LOL-worthy English, yes, but come on. This is like a major improvement from their previous Song 2 performance in so many levels. Although I am a bit disturbed by the usage of he and him instead of changing it to she and her to fit the male singer, Hongki, because it kept giving me this weird gay feeling but overall, FT Island did an awesome rock cover. But honestly, Jonghoon just made the performance from great to the best. His guitar solo—oh my God, it was incredibly breathtaking. I mean, for someone as handsome and young and further more, absolutely talented in guitar and piano as him, I would die for him. The music arrangement was great and Jaejin did a great job as a backup vocal, plus Jonghoon and Seunghyun. Anyway, give me more Minhwan! It feels good to watch a rock band (of which I am still contemplating to call them a rock band) performed a pop song with a touch of rock. I don’t care about bashers and haters. I love this and I love FT Island.

On the other note, seriously Seunghyun—when the other members are showcasing their real ability to play their instruments live on stage, you choose to do an imitation of the incoming train with your electric guitar? This noona is slightly disappointed but still, she is smiling all night to see your cuteness. I guess I have let my biasness carried me away again tonight.

One Beautiful Journey.

Photobucket

found via Silh0utte

I promised my dearest friend that I would post my personal opinions on the mini-album Beautiful Journey that was released on August 26 but I haven’t found the right time to sit down and listen to all songs carefully (although I found the time to sit down and right a proper rant about my life lately). It will be better if I less spam and continue with the reviews. However, this might haven been done with bias so please don’t bash me.

사랑사랑사랑 (Love, Love, Love)
The title track of the mini-album, the all-kill song that each member of FT Island wishes for and finally come true. This song brings back the rock ballad music from FT Island that we all loved and missed and this surely is the trademark of FT Island. It has an awesome rhythm and amazingly good lyrics about a leaving love. But this is very different from their past rock ballads. This is more powerful, and this is more addictive with the same melancholic feeling. The repetitive parts won’t bore you, and the rap parts making it even better. Hongki and Seunghyun show their chemistry in voices through this song better than any songs they performed before. Seunghyun proves that he has dramatically improves in rapping and he sounds even better than before. My rating, five stars out of five stars.

굳은살이 박혀버려 (Like My Hardened Skin)
There is no proper English translation for this song because the title is supposedly a Korean idiom or something but this is a good ballad. It starts off slow and mellow but it grows to be a powerful ballad (of which I won’t categorize as a rock ballad yet). The chorus is amazing and what is more amazing about this song is Hongki’s voice as usual. You can feel the pain and the emotion through the song it self without knowing the definition of the song. My rating, four stars out of five stars.

Baby Love
It is not that I don’t like this song—I love it—but this kind of song from FT Island has always been something I don’t listen much amidst of their rock ballads. I love the melody so much because I think it is very sweet. The piano composition makes this song as sweet as the beautiful summer day. The chorus on the other hand, makes one wants to smile all day and this is the perfect gateway from the rock ballads present earlier in the mini-album. The guitar riff part is the best for sure. Love the transition of the vocal from something heavy to something lighter and bubblier like this song. My rating, four stars out of five stars.

미친듯이 너 하나만 (Madly, Only You)
This is my favorite rock ballad from FT Island because I love the beginning and I love the whole song with all my heart. The chorus is just so good in terms of music and vocal and gets stuck easily by only one listen. The emotion flows in this song smoothly and the bridge part is just mesmerizing because one could feel the emotions send by the great vocal. This ballad is in simpler term, flawless. I love the ad-lib by Jaejin during the end chorus—it feels like a fresh breath amidst of the heavy emotion flows. My rating, five stars out of five stars.

돈키호테의 노래 (Song of Don Quixote)
This marks the first anticipation in composing the Korean song by the leader, Jonghoon. And to make it obvious, it is a great job. The song is the pop upbeat rock song that instead of making you smile and remember your first love, makes you want to jump and dance along with its upbeat rhythm. Hongki never fails with his vocal even with this upbeat song and his vocal gets along with Jaejin ad-lib and Seunghyun fast and fun rap very well. This is the best song they could perform to end the beautiful journey throughout the five tracks of this mini-album. The best part would be during the end chorus, because the drum beat rocks and a good job done by Minhwan with its drumming. My rating, five stars out of five stars.

Overall opinion, I think this is the best mini-album out of the two mini-albums FT Island has released. The songs will never bore you and you will never feel like you want to skip a song. The only thing is that Jaejin and Seunghyun should have more vocal parts, instead of just Hongki, despite his variety of emotions in each song. Jonghoon and Minhwan should shine like their previous albums too. But, the whole mini-album was just too perfect and well produced. Listening to this mini-album does feel like a great and beautiful journey through the music transitions that FT Island wishes to show. This would be one of the recommended mini-albums for 2010. The music, the vocal, the composition and the arrangement—everything is just great.

Love Love Love.


found via ftisland

I promise I will be back to spam about the level of awesomeness of this beyond imagination music video during my break time. I will be back with my personal spams for sure.

I am terribly sorry about this late spam post—I was at work and well, although my work doesn’t worth a brag, I am still trying to take it seriously because it increases the amount of allowances per month that I have, and in this case, increases the chance for me to buy the DVD and CD that I have listed in my wish list earlier this month. Okay, enough about my ridiculous wish list; it is now time to spam as much I could about our beloved Five Treasure Island and their new music video for their official Korean comeback, 사랑사랑사랑 (Love, Love, Love).

Let me be honest—I have waited this since 08:58 a.m. since there are some news that the full music video will be out at 10:00 a.m. in South Korea time (Malaysia is GMT+8 and South Korea is GMT+9, so in South Korea it is one hour faster) but it doesn’t come out until 09:20 a.m. And good gracious, the music video and the song it self are worth the wait and the anticipation.

Okay, now let us all talk about the music video first. God knows how I love the teaser it self and now that FNC Music gives us the four minutes of pure perfection—what more can I say? I freaking love the concept and I freaking love the whole music video, and this is true because throughout the whole music video, I can’t find anything that makes me want to yell or scream in hate. Despite my longing for the overly dramatic music video (that includes someone beaten up, someone died, etc.), I found my self totally immersed in this music video. Frankly, I could say that I love this ten thousand times better than their previous works—바래 (I Hope) MV, Flower Rock MV, Love Letter MV (although this should have been an exception because it consists of FT Triple), etc.

The dark and gloomy atmosphere of the music video, plus the amazing coloring and filtering and the heart-wrenching storyline beats out any music video that shows nothing but boys dancing around like monkeys and riding luxurious cars or swinging their asses like crazy. This complex and dark simplicity totally brings out the emo FT Island we all know and miss. I have been highlighting about the angst that I hope to see in this music video and well, let’s just say that I am freaking satisfied—although no one dies or hurt, but the storyline of the two puppets broke my heart. Ah, even puppets want to be in love.

Oh god, the song. I am glad that it isn’t some cheerful pop and I am even happier that FT Island goes back to their prime days of performing emotional angst rock-ballad (although I can’t categorize this song in either rock-ballad or just rock). I love the rhythm and it is hell addictive. You could sing along after just one listen—like I am right now. Hongki’s vocal sounds incredibly good and surely, it emphasizes his huskiness. The rap—oh god, I was surprised when Seunghyun starts to rap. The rap parts usually gets annoying but not in this song. It fits so well, it adds the angst and harshness to this melodramatic song. I love it, and I am off to search for the translation.

I think that I am getting used of Hongki’s hairstyle—despite my hesitation about it, I guess I have learn to like it. One thing that really bothers me from this music video is the lack of Jonghoon, Jaejin and Minhwan. There are just too much exposure of Hongki and the puppets plus, a tiny bit of Seunghyun—just because he does the rap parts. Okay, I need to emphasize this; FT Island has five members, so please equally show each and every one of them in the music video. FT Island isn’t just about Hongki. Though, I love the concepts that the boys opt—nice and simple boys in neat suits don’t hurt at all. Thumbs up for the style but still, hands down for the hairstyles. I guess Jaejin and Jonghoon rock their hairstyle but not Hongki and perhaps, get rid of that wavy off Seunghyun. I love it better if he has his Missing You days’ hairstyle—the dark shade and messy—rather than darker shade and wavy. But still, they are five freaking gorgeous boys in no matter what hairstyles they have.

This is random. Someone just points out to me that the flashing walls—the awesome flashing walls that I hope I could have in my bedroom—features this artwork called ‘The Temptation of St. Bernard’ by Dali and you could point it out too if you focus at the flashing walls and found an animation of something with sort of long pair of legs. Even the male puppet seems to resemble Dali in a way or two. Yeah, that is what I am talking about. Well, I could have said the director of this music video is pretty creative but I still want the flashing walls—I want the flash on my walls to change every second.

And no, you will not find FT Island as puppets in this music video. They don’t even wear the same clothes as in the teaser so don’t look for FT Island puppets. They are alive and gorgeous—totally not five freaking gorgeous puppets as we have fall in love with in the teaser.

Come to think about, would it be necessary for me to make a different post regarding the songs from the mini-album Beautiful Journey? Or should I just keep my opinions to my self because no one freaking care to know?

On the other hand, I guess Hongki and Jaejin now both have Twitter, as Jonghoon followed them—so that kinds of verify that both accounts are genuine. Go ahead and follow them. Both have quite interesting usernames.

The Hair Stories.

Let me know if I am not the only one who almost suffered a serious cardiac arrest lately. I mean like, seriously. What the hell is wrong with the stylists working for FT Island? Don’t get me wrong but, I think those people hate FT Island.

found via xj. jin @ soompi

Okay, let me be honest. Yes, I love the reddish shade on Hongki because obviously this boy could carry any shade and still look like…well, amazingly flawless. But come on, the hairstyle. It is f-cking ridiculous. No boys should be seen with such curls. Hongki, as much as I love you, I have to say that your hairstyle is a tragedy. It is an epic fail. It’s a big NO-NO. Right now, I am missing the blonde action of Hongki. Even the blonde curls looked better than this.


found via xj. jin @ soompi

Oh God, I also think that the stylist got a bit overboard with the scissors on both magnaes Seunghyun and Minhwan. I did complaint about how I hate it when they have f-cking long hairs during Flower Rock or Brand New Days but I don’t mean that the stylist could like chop almost all of their hairs. Okay, well…I do have to say that Seunghyun looks like he got five years younger suddenly but the short hairstyle matured our beloved drummer, Minhwan by several years. I don’t like flower boys to grow up too fast. Bring me back the cute and lovable Minhwan full with aegyos back from the Love Sick times. Oh damn it, Seunghyun. You always know how to make this noona crazy. Your hair - your amazing sexy hair is gone - but you presented to me this hair…oh my God. You look good even when it is too short for words. This is somehow unrelated to the post itself but...Seunghyun, oh God...your arm...those visible veins on your hands when you strum your guitar. Oh my God, save me.

found via xj. jin @ soompi

For the first time in my life, I am not going to talk about Jaejin’s hair. I mean, look at him! He got rid of The Beatles’ look and thank God he comes back with this freaking simple but amazing hairstyle that somehow brings back the love I once have for him. Jaejin, keep that hair until FT Island’s comeback.

found via xj. jin @ soompi

Oh, our cheesy Orianthi-lover leader, Choi Jonghoon. I could go on and on about how amazing you are with your cheesiness and your skills in both guitar and piano but come on, how can you not do anything with your awesome hair? I don’t see many changes there, Mr. Leader. I have been anticipating your hairstyle the most because you twitted on how it felt awkward to be in the hairdresser but this…it’s just disappointed to know you didn’t change anything. Okay, even if you did change something, what was it? Maybe an inch shorter than the usual? Not even a shade. Come on, Choi Leader. Even Seunghyun got a darker shade and Hongki got a over-the-top red shade but what about you?

Okay, new hairstyles mean that comeback preparation is on the way. I am guessing somewhere in late-August or early-September, maybe? This anticipation could kill me but what would kill me even faster is to know THESE are the hairstyles for their comeback. Oh damn it, hair stylists. Do I need to kill you every year?

Brand-New Days.

Okay, I seriously need to blame someone (or something) for the lack of Internet usage lately. This fascination with soccer has to stop as well before I turn into some freaking girl who talks soccer all day. Got to go back to my crazy fan girl mode or else I will be ruined. On the darker side, my Twitter for Samsung Mobile application is pissing me off thus explaining the lack of updates.



Well, FT Island has done it again. They finally released the PV (promotional video) of their latest Japanese single, “Brand-New Days”. I don’t know the exact date of which I assumed to be on July 2 (forgive my lack of awareness of this) but hey, as long as it is released, who care about the date right? So the full PV is released and the song itself is now listenable to Primadonnas.

Oh, I love this concept. Making a music video in a music video. But come on, what with the involvement of Westerners? FT Island has an Englishman director. I am not going to argue about that because I love this amazing music video. It is simple yet it fits FT Island concept nicely. LOL moments at the end of the PV. English again, huh? Kinds of reminded me of "Love" MV. What's up with the English nowadays, FNC Music?
The backdrop - OMG - I love it.

Not much about the clothings on the boys. Love the styles but get rid of those horrible suspended pants Hongki is wearing. I love what Minhwan, Jaejin and Seunghyun are wearing and have nothing to say about Jonghoon too. But I have one thing to complain though. There is a major lackness of Leader Choi Jonghoon throughout the PV, like seriously. Not enough MBC Leader. And God, please get rid of Hongki’s blonde already. It has been a year and the style is irritating me even more. I am not used to see Jaejin's hairstyle and I don't even know the reason why. I wish he could go back to the times when he looked extremely adorable. I love how Minhwan is given a shorter black hair and wavy Seunghyun - I have no arguments with that. I love his hair in whatever style it is. I love that he looked hot (oh, here comes the pervy noona again) instead of just cute nowadays. My over-flowing love for this rapping kid just came out. Sorry.

You know what, FNC Music has heard my complaints during “Flower Rock”. Seunghyun finally have lines - I mean LINES and not just random raps - in this single. I don’t know if this happen because Seunghyun actually writes the lyric for “Brand-New Days” or what, but I love this. I finally see the microphone stand for Seunghyun. Thank you FNC Music and Warner Music Japan. I am so proud of my bias for being able to write Japanese lyrics even when he isn’t good yet in Japanese. I am so proud of Seunghyun, I want to cry (now I feel like his mother or something).

Overall, good job with this song, FT Island. This could seriously pass as an anime opening theme song. I love it because it gives a fresh vibe, more like a summer rock song. Now that we have been presented with their latest Japanese single, I think it is time for the five treasures to hit the saloon, trim those fugly long hairs and get makeovers before presenting Primadonnas all around the world with their Korean comeback instead. I am dying here (literally) while waiting for their Korean comeback. Seriously, their juniors are starting to make me bored (just a bit, not in a bad way).

Please comeback hurry, FT Island. I could no longer stand listening to your old Korean songs.

Three Years of Treasure Island

Unbelievable how fast time could actually fly. It feels as if it was just yesterday that I first fall in love with FT Island but honestly, it has actually been three years since I have become a loyal Primadonna (okay, maybe a bit crazy and pedophilic but hey, I don’t do anything harmful…yet). For the wonderful three year celebration of FT Island’s career, I am wishing nothing but of course, happiness and even more success in the future. And maybe if they could well…come to Malaysia one day to make this Primadonna happy?


taken via FNCMUSIC2 (the official FNC Music YouTube account for FT Island)

Tell me I am not the only one who has been dying to watch a live performance from FT Island ever since they stay in Japan for the major debut. If you are just like me, FNC Music has kindly treat our wounds by uploading a disclose live practice session of FT Island as they performed 바래 (I Hope), Revolution and Flower Rock live. You heard me right, all songs are LIVE.

What could be better than to watch some goofy acts from vocalist Hongki and guitarist Seunghyun as they foolishly danced in sync during 바래 (I Hope) or to catch a glimpse of leader Jonghoon fancy footwork while playing his guitar handsomely on the day FT Island celebrates their third anniversary? I don’t care if this old enough to be in the archive but I love every bits of this video.

Thank you, FNC Music!

Some information about their upcoming single in July has been released so make sure to check it out, Primadonna. I can’t wait for September, to see what the five boys have in store for us for their amazing comeback. I am having my fingers cross; let this be their awesome year. Anyway, once again, to my favorite band in the world, FT Island, happy third anniversary! Congratulations for the marvelous three years of journey for Primadonnas’ favorite treasure island!

Flower Rock MV.

Now the real hyperventilating moments have officially started. Okay, I will let you do whatever you want because I know I have. Just two days ago I wrote about the f-cking short eleven seconds teaser of “Flower Rock”, a new Japanese single from FT Island which also marked FT Island major debut in Japan. Wait no longer you impatient fan girls because the MV of “Flower Rock” has been released today, April 30 instead of May 3!


Let me tell you what I think when I first heard of the song. I thought it was some anime song, I swore. This real rock could pass as song for any action anime (I could imagine it becoming an opening of Naruto, maybe Bleach). The one thing that I totally love about “Flower Rock” that it is REAL ROCK. I don’t mean angst-ridden songs with guitar riffs throughout the song but a real song that makes you want to do head-banging. I know I did. The Honglish parts are a bit eh~ but never mind, it is still good. Jaejin does have parts in the song but nothing major. Just some minor lines - more like ad-libs, no? Hongki's voice is very good for this song. I will try not to complain about not giving Seunghyun any chance to sing at all but hey, the song is absolutely good so what is there to complain anyway?

Yes, the English lines are a bit unexplainable. Is it “everybody hands up” or is it “everybody handsome”? I don’t know anything about Japanese so I won’t judge how their Japanese pronunciation at all. The song is very energetic and you can’t help but to fall in love with you, if you are a fan of FT Island of course. And if you are not a fan, I will recommended that you listen to this Japanese song first before I introduce you to the other Japanese singles that FT Island has. I dare to say I like this a bit better than their previous singles - Soyogi, The One, I Believe Myself and Raining. I am anticipating the energy level of their live performance of this song too. Sincerely, I also dare to say this is a good song to mark their major debut in Japan after being known as indie band in the land of the rising son. It would actually be better if they applied this kind of music into their Korean music even when I don’t have anything to complain about their Korean music (I can’t have enough of any of their Korean songs anyway). The song is jumpy, energetic, awesome and kind of addictive after the second listen.

About the MV - hey, FT Island as janitors. I don’t mind having these handsome janitors at my school before. I actually like the idea of putting wigs on these boys’ head as they pretended to be janitors but what’s with giving a blonde another blonde wig? But surely you have to know that Jonghoon looks hot even with beard and moustache. Jaejin rocks his afro (and I mean it, I don’t really like boys with afros) meanwhile Seunghyun might have taken back his Actor Song’s wig from Idol Magnae Rebellion times. Minhwan puts on a blonde wig too and he is just so adorable. I almost melt when the boys took off their wigs in such dynamic and charismatic way, tossing it away along with their fake equipments. The storyline is very much easy with no hidden agenda or whatsoever. I love simple MV. Overall, I love that the boys could do head-bangs and jump around in this MV with the song. I have watched them cry, drenched in rain, screaming their hearts out and even beaten to death but I enjoy watching them having fun the most. The ending of the MV makes me laugh, because at least we could see the dorky sides of the boys once again. Just imagine the eye-candies overload once the HQ version of the MV releases.

FT Island will soon start to actively participate in Japanese broadcasts so please anticipate their major debut. The full single album is set to release on May 19 with two more songs so if you are rich and you could afford their album, buy it. With my rusty Japanese, I wish FT Island all the best; FT Island, ganbatte!

Good Morning Bob Ep.4

Title; Good Morning Bob Episode 4 .
Side-Note; Oh My God ~ Seunghyun in Black Sleeveless Top *dies*

Celebrating the 200th posts of this blog!

I am starting to get worried about Seunghyun’s mental condition after watching this.


This time it was recorded in a hotel in Hong Kong. Compared to the hotel they are staying in Thailand, the hotel room in Hong Kong looked normal (when I say normal, it doesn’t seem exclusive, the room looks like something my family will stay in).

I think the boys of FT Island enjoy staying inside wardrobes when they have nothing to do. Who refers to soap as candies anyway except for the dorky Seunghyun? How can Minhwan not laughed his head off while watching his band mate acting strangely? Poor TV remote control, dropped and never picked up. LOL moments of asking for forgiveness at tissue papers by Seunghyun, oh my, if I am his mother and I watched this, I will be very worried. WHAT THE HELL was Jaejin doing inside a wardrobe with only his mobile phone? “Hey Jin”? OMG, that was so hilariously random. Jaejin might be scared of his two dongsaengs and decided to stay hidden so that he won’t be infected by the dorky viruses that Minhwan and Seunghyun were carrying.

MIRROR! I almost fell down from my chair when I heard he screamed the word. Boy, have you not seen a mirror for years? Showing off his thin arms? Emm, not close to having muscles for the time being and how cute it was when Seunghyun slapped his right hand that wanted to lift his top up and showed his abs, OMG, he revealed more than before! This noona dies for a second. The crazy glasses, gosh Seunghyun is just so freakingly dorky. Seunghyun, stay away from forks and knives! I loved how Jaejin appeared on the couch at the end of the video, wearing the crazy glasses and randomly talking in Engrish. Seunghyun’s replying to Jaejin’s “how are you” by saying “goodbye”, a good way to end an Engrish conversation! Got to love the three boys. Being random might just be FT Island’s specialty. No other idols will ever do this, I am sure of it.

But honestly, I could never look at Seunghyun seriously again without remembering these.


Seunghyun is fond of refrigerators, I am sure of it. One of the things he must showed in the episodes of this meaningless but precious Good Morning Bob series. WARNING, please put your volume down when you are watching the second part of the episode four because, SEUNGHYUN SCREAMED in such a high-pitch way, I got shocked. Trying to burn his hand huh? Well, not working, Seunghyun but kids, don’t try this at home (especially after cooking). I think Minhwan laughed at this part, seriously. “chicken, no, kitchen”, LOL!

And again, closing the dorky episode by sitting calmly inside a wardrobe.

What is it about FT Island’s boys and wardrobes nowadays?

AND WHERE THE HELL ARE HONGKI AND JONGHOON when the younger ones are having such fun being dorky?

Good Morning Bob Ep.3

Title; Good Morning Bob Ep.3 .
Side-Note; This Is a Proof That Seunghyun is Really High .

Ever watch someone peel a banana using a fork and a knife before?


NEVER let Seunghyun touch the fork and the knife ever again in the future. The boy is just so freaking dorky, I am laughing my head off as he lip-synching to the song so seriously. What the hell are Seunghyun and Minhwan doing alone in their hotel room anyway? These boys are using their dorkiness and the camera they have as a tool to entertain their fans in such an unexplainable way. Seunghyun has an image I have never seen on him ever since I first saw him. Leader Choi is right, Seunghyun always know how to ruin his real image. Minhwan is a great director, a dorky director of course. Anyway, I am looking forward for more Good Morning Bob series. The wonders of the 1992's born boys.

I would NEVER take Jason Mraz’s “I’m Yoursseriously again after this.

Pathetically Mindless.


Title; Pathetically Mindless.

Click H E R E for short seconds of mindless-act.

WARNING;
This link will directed you to a video in which might cause you to curse, yell in anger or just simply die.
I am not responsible for anything that might happen.
Do not try this on any other celebrities.

So, I am practically pissed off. Why? There are some reasons; some includes my personal life, some about my up-coming holiday trip and basically about FT Island in Singapore. Yes, I don’t read fan accounts, I don’t watch fan-cams and I don’t want to know a bit about FT Island if they ever travelled out of Korea except for Japan. Yes, I am a bad Primadonna. Why? Because I am selfish, end of story. A good blog-friend of mine sent me a link of a fan-cam, in which it turned me into the selfish Primadonna once again.

Click on the link and watch the fan-cam.

What do I feel after I watch it? I feel as if I want to kill someone, in which that pathetic girl who bravely hit my Seunghyun. Okay, fine. I’d heard about Seunghyun’s anti fan in Korea. Him and his 2000 anti-fans but seriously, I had never heard any of those anti ever tried to hurt him and even if they did tried, it never work. But this video, it just caused me to curse at my laptop’s screen for about ten minutes. She hit Seunghyun’s head as that poor boy was on his way back to the hotel from the rehearsal and laughed about it. She laughed about it - WTF is wrong with her? You hit a celebrity (in this case my favorite celebrity) and got away by laughing? I am okay with screaming fan girls, I am okay with sometimes daring fan girls, I am contemplating about stalking fan girls but I could never be okay with girls who hit. Hit means hurting - that girl hurts my favorite member. I am not going to know whether it was painful of not, but seriously, she hits him.

Seunghyun pointed back at her after he was hit perhaps, angrily, and I would say that is a normal reaction if you are hit by someone you never know. You got hit for no reason, you get angry. If you are not angry after getting hit for no reason, than you must be an angel or just crazy. If I was him, I will basically grab her by the collar and punch her but oh well, considering it wasn’t me and he’s a celebrity, he might just walk off silently. Thankfully it was Seunghyun. I wondered if that girl ever hit Hongki or Jonghoon, they might just ask for an explanation about why they were hit - Hongki isn’t the kind of who will keep his self shut and I am pretty sure he will be very shock if that ever happen to him.

One advice to that girl; even if you hate that celebrity, never hit them. They never hit back, but surely their fans will.

I wonder if this video ever gets to Korean Primadonna. How will they react? I think, if that pathetic girl who hit him is ever in Korea, she’ll be dead. Or worst, if I ever get to know her identity and ever find her whether in Singapore or Malaysia, she’ll be sorry. I heard even some Singaporean fans are angry towards her.

So what if she doesn’t like Seunghyun, does that mean she has the right to hit him?

What Was Lost, What Was Gained.


jinnienomuyeppo02

MNET Asian Music Award 2009 is over.
Congratulations to those who win - 2NE1, 2PM, KARA, Hong Jinyoung and the list go on and on.
Wonderful performances line-up (a bit bias, but that is my opinion ; don’t come and kill me because I enjoy everything though) and everything was fine.
I love 2PM’s performance the most because I am clearly missing Jaebum more and more lately.
The spotlighted empty space where Jaebum used to stand in Again and Again performance broke my heart.
And I am still ‘digesting’ the rap performance by the female rappers - quite confusing and not feeling it at all.

BUT,
One thing truly broke my heart.
FT Island did not win the Rock Music Award like how I expected.
Unfortunately, the award went to Boohwal.
Congratulation to Boohwal by the way.
I truly loved their song (and not to mention their vocalist).

This is surely devastating.
MAMA 2009 marked the first award show for 2009 in which FT Island was nominated with their new (though now, not so new member) Song Seunghyun.
I am pretty sure they totally want to win the award.
The boys must be pretty disappointed for not winning this award.
I know I am disappointed they didn’t win.
Strange how FT Island lead the vote poll in MAMA 2009’s website yet they lost.
But maybe I can’t read Korean well and couldn’t understand what the poll really meant.

I wonder how the boys feel.
How Seunghyun would feel for not winning the award with FT Island.
They were actually present at the award show minus Hongki who was away for drama's filming.
Look at how sad the four of them looked!
Seunghyun's dissapointment truly showed through his expression!
I am sad to watch this.
Though they looked HOT, but they were clearly dissapointed.

Even worst when the camera zoomed at Seunghyun when Boohwal was announced as the winner.
He surely looked as if he really wanted to win.
And Boohwal sat right behind them!
How cruel could that be?
They lost and they had to turn around and faced their sunbaes.
Aww ~ looked at how sad Seunghyun is, it hurts me!

It’s okay not to win.
At least they know they work hard and got nominated.
There will always be next time, boys!

승현아, 괜찮아요.
FT아일랜드, 괜찷아요~
너에 이기진 못했으니 괜찮습니다.
정말 괜찮아.
난 아직도 네가 자랑스러워.
실망하지 마세요.
슬퍼 하지마.
내년 시도할 수있습니다.
난 너의 성공을 위해기도 할게요.
에 최고입니다.

Forgive my broken Korean and its even worst grammar.
I am learning hard to get this right ㅠ.ㅠ

Success isn’t measured by how many trophies and acknowledgment you achieved;
It is measured by the length you are willing to go to achieve it.

Quote was taken from my dad,
Who strongly believes that success isn’t measured by those things.
Perhaps this quote suit FT Island’s hard work for 2009.
I am sure they are happy to work hard, and I am sure they are very satisfied with everything they are doing right now.

FT Island is always the best for me.
I never once regret becoming their loyal fan - NEVER regret it instead, I am thankful to have the chance to be their fan.
I am a proud Primadonna,
And I will always proud to say it.

As for the lighter part of the post,
Let’s enjoy Seunghyun and Jonghoon’s appearance on MBC Drama 식신원정대 (MBC Drama God of Cookery Expedition).
My favorite part of the show - where they sprayed some kind of sauce called 고삼차 into Jonghoon’s and Seunghyun’s mouth in which Seunghyun responded with a nasty yet cute “아프카크” and because I have no idea what that meant, I still found it amusing to see Jonghoon giggled when Seunghyun responded that way.


hkdomtoo

Emm, based on the look, the sauce must be pretty nasty.
Reminded me of kanari of 1박2일.
Fortunately it wasn’t kanari or else the boys will be dead due to its awful smell.

The show left me hungry.
Watching the two hot boys eating - they surely made meat looked so desirable.

Right, all that is left for me is to wait for episode 3 of SBS E!TV아이돌 막내 반란시대 (SBS E!TV Idol Magnae Rebellion) to be uploaded into YouTube because the preview looked promising.
I have to admit, this show is seriously funny.
Got to love the interaction between Seunghyun, Dongho of U-Kiss (my favorite magnae from other groups), Jinwoon of 2AM, T-Max’s Yoonhwa and Mighty Mouth’s Shori-J (he is hilarious).
I still laugh whenever I watched the part where Shori-J greeted Seunghyun and Jinwon with “brother from another mother”.
They are like real brothers.
The show really makes me laughed.
The segment where they rant about other artists while holding stand-ups of those artists truly is my favorite.
Can’t believe Seunghyun brought Kim Taehee’s stand-up board on the second episode!
Who would had thought Seunghyun is bad at that high jump thingy?
And him serenading the female guest with acoustic guitar *swoon* is just beautiful.

I am done with my nonsense post.

Away For Too Long.


Ah~
Been a long time since I posted anything!
My internet connection got stuck for a week - haven’t been able to do my thing for 7 days.
It finally got fixed, thanks to my dad.

There are thousands of things happened in that week I am away from internet.
I’ve been missing a lot of FT Island’s stuffs lately too.

Oh, anyone went to the Saturday’s concert?
Men’s Stories anyone?

My pen-pal in Korea send me a bunch of fancams - but they didn’t get all songs recorded because they said the security guards were being b*thcy.
They caught some photos and shared it with me, but none of them would really like their personal-taken photos to be shared so all are for them, and luckily for me.
I’d asked whether I could at least share one photo - but considering the hard work they did for taking it, I think, well let’s not hurt their feelings.
Anyway, they said the concert was AWESOME spelled in capital letters!
대박이야!
That was all that they say throughout our MSN-ing session this morning.
For my friends who had taken their college-entrance exams before, Men’s Stories was told to be their greatest escape ever.

Do you know Jonghoon performed La Vida Loca?
Seriously, of all the songs in the world, he sang THAT song?
It was awesomely sexy and recommended and if you don’t believe me, go and watch the fancam.

Do you know Hongki brought Jolie up on stage and sang 여전히 live for the first time?
Honestly, Jolie is cute but Hongki plus Jolie is better.
Jeremy makes his appearance in FT Island’s concert and I loved it.

Do you know Minhwan sang and performed magic tricks?
Eventually, he is more than just a drummer who sat at the back during performances.
He sang very well and his magic tricks, it is so cute I want to be there and watched it myself.

Do you know Seunghyun wore glittering green trot outfit and performed something out-of-this world?
Surprisingly, none of the fan account I read know WTF he was doing.
But still, many said it was funny and yes, just watching Seunghyun do his thing is already funny.

Do you know Jaejin sang song from his musical?
Actually, yes and he even appeared in his Sonagi’s outfit.
He took away the heart of those girls who had been in love with this beautiful goat.

Do you know C.N Blue (FT Island’s juniors) was presented at the concert?
As castmate in 미남이시네요, Jung Yonghwa’s band was invited to perform at the concert with his band mates.
They performed three songs and they are amazing, more that expected to be precise.

Do you know they have Minhwan’s birthday surprise on stage at the concert?
It seemed yes, they brought in cakes for the ultra cute drummer’s birthday.
I wish I could send a box of pepero for him on his birthday since I missed his birthday post due to my lame internet connection.

Do you know the boys wore awesome outfits throughout the concert?
Definitely, because I’d seen them in black leather-like outfit for opening, all-white outfits to match FT Triple’s angelic image, awesome all-mixed outfit like how they wore in 바래 MV (a glimpse of Seunghyun and sleeveless - purely heaven) and almost everything else that was nice.
Good job, stylist.

I really wanted to go - but I have no money to fly to Korea.
That is why I am keeping money from now, so that I could fly there for their next year’s concert.
The reason why I loved FT Island is this ; they never failed to have a solo concert each year, no matter how bad the situation is, no matter if they didn’t win any music charts or no matter if they are underrated because they are doing it for their own satisfaction and fan’s satisfaction as well.
They are just awesome.

There’ll be another one tonight and I really hope they’ll make DVD of this concert.
I would do whatever it takes for me to buy it.
Seriously.

I’ll be posting more for updates later.
Sorry Minhwan, this noona missed your birthday post due to my stupid internet connection!
I am very sorry.
Noona doesn’t hate you.
Noona LOVES you!
