►►4Minute’s HyunA forgets the lyrics to Oh Won Bin’s song while performing
4minute’s Hyuna ruined Oh Won Bin’s comeback stage made quite the performance mistake while participating in ex-F.T. Island member Oh Won Bin’s comeback stage.
Won Bin’s “I Love You and I Love You” was broadcast live on MBC’s “Show! Music Core“, and the performance was off to a good start until Hyuna forgot the lyrics around the 2:07 mark.
After the performance, a representative from Hyuna’s agency spoke with Star News and stated, “Hyuna rehearsed a lot before going up on stage but ended up making a mistake by forgetting the lyrics. She had a lot of schedules to go through before the performance and was unfortunately unable to show off everything she had practiced on stage. She is extremely sorry to Oh Won Bin.”
…I don’t get why Won Bin doesn’t let BEG Miryo to do it instead since she was the one featured in his album. Maybe scheduling conflict? Either way, I think that making mistakes is fine…just not on someone else’s comeback stage =.=”

►►F.T. Island to make official debut in Japan
F.T. Island has been missing from the k-pop music scene for quite a while now, but it seems like they are getting ready to cross over to the Japanese industry!
Along with the help of Warner Bros. Japan, the group will officially debut in Japan on May 19th, with the release of a single called Flower Rock. Although they released a mini album back in 2008, this will be their major debut.
The group had no big-name entertainment company to help them through, but after Your Beautiful aired in Japan, Lee Hongki naturally started to achieve fame.
With the release of their single, the group is planning to promote on music shows such as Music Japan, along with many other famous bands, and also with TVXQ’s Xiah Junsu, who will be promoting his solo activities.
Good luck to F.T. Island on their Japan debut, we at allkpop believe that they will achieve success.

►►FT Island’s Lee Hongki, “I do not lip-sync!”
F.T.Island’s Lee Hongki shared his stories on SBS Strong Heart (April, 6th) about always going off key and cracking his voice while singing.
He also spoke about being called a “hand-sync band,” which is a term that people use to describe bands that play with their instruments for recording, then only pretend to play the instruments during actual performances.
Lee Hongki first talked about his mistake on SBS Gayo Daejun where he went off key. He said, “I wasn’t feeling well and I did make a mistake.” He was so sick that he had to go to the hospital after the performance.
He continued, “After that, even when I tried really hard and did well live, people accused me of lipsyncing.”
He spoke about being called a handsync band, saying, “It hurt a lot to hear that. We will work harder to be recognized for our talents.” What fans don’t know is that instruments aren’t allowed to be played live on live broadcast music programs.

Because Hongki birthday falls on the 21March, we have to call out our members urgently
Hongki is a kind and capable guy so we have to take care of him
We also celebrated Yongwoon ** birthday the other time ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
(those who watched B.O.B. will know that heart-warming celebration)Mithra—“Epik high” same age friend. the fact is he is an early-83er，so he is supposed to be hyung?
Although he is part of the “chocolate ball”, but no one knows his existence as he never attend meetings.
Always says “the fact that you are from the same company as Girls Generation makes everyone jealous.”
But whenever soshi appears in front of him, he will turn into a red-faced bear。
because of the scandal (-┏), and the stories that everyone heard about, so PASSHeenim—Being the creator of “Chocolate Ball”，because of the phrase “so troublesome” the group separates
mood swings，a professional-level temper，thus voted “the artist that I will not want to work with” ，
but I still get praises from many people who admires me（example hongki, taemin，Simon D..etc..）。
when people ask me to do something, i wont do; i am the frog who does things that people don’t want me to do（like those disobedient characters in fairytales）

►►FT Island do not want stylish girls, “Definitely no showing of skin!”
FT Island shows their conservative side…I like I like (except I remember a radio appearance of them, talking and choosing a bikini over one-piece…hmmm…lol)
Korean flower-boy band FT Island raised a wave of extreme popularity on their first visit to Taiwan, and their images during the six-day trip was also constantly changing. Offstage, lead singer Lee Hongki has the most perception of fashion and constantly plays stylist in their dormitory, often helping his members put outfits together.
During their concert, the five-member band put on a good show, emphasizing on FT Island’s real talent, and that they were not just any “idol boyband”. But when it comes to their title of “flower-boys”, all of them had positive reactions to that, stating that it was a compliment of their looks, and there are lots of goodies from being a flower-boy.
Hongki, who had a big popularity rise after his role in [You’re Beautiful], announced proudly that “because of me, Jonghun has gotten lots of good stuff!” Jonghun agreed in response, “It’s true, when you go out with him you don’t usually have to spend any money. You get food and other stuff for free most of the time, so when I go out I have to bring Hongki with me.”
In FT Island, both Hongki and Jonghun admitted that they are the ones who love shopping the most. Hongki likes dark colour schemes, and cannot resist anything with skull designs on them. Jonghun, on the other hand, prefers clean and classic styles.
Jaejin, the one who always gives a treat and is the most knowledgeable about saving up, actually does not spend much on clothes at all. He said, “I just wear whatever I see in front of me when I wake up everyday. So Hongki usually puts together something for me first.”
Seunghyun also exposed that Minhwan always wears the same clothes, because he washes them after he wears them, then wears them and washes them again in a constant cycle. The 4-D boy also said, “I like formal, branded clothing, and looking like a rich bachelor.”
However, Hongki stepped in to remind him: “But there is nothing branded in your closet!”
►►FT Island’s Lee Hong Ki asks Taiwanese fans to marry him
On February 28th, Korean boyband FT Island arrived in Taiwan for their concert.
To ensure that they would be in top form, they ate a Korean cuisine and had massage sessions before returning to the hotel immediately. The five members performed 18 songs to 2500 fans waving yellow flags, which seemed to like lead singer Lee HongKi the most.
When he sang “Marry Me”, asking if his fans would marry him, excited fans screamed “Yes”! During leader Choi Jonghoon’s performance onstage, HongKi suddenly went offstage among the fans to shake hands with them, causing the crowd to lose control.
The excited fans refused to leave the concert venue after the show ended, causing FT Island to reappear on stage to promise them a bigger and better performance next time, before they would contentedly leave.
