Rising South Korean boy band “FTIsland (FTI)” is out to capture the hearts of Philippine K-pop (Korean pop) fanatics as they perform live in Manila on March 6, PICC Plenary Hall. SpinManila, Inc., an events and concerts company that aims to further the Asian entertainment fanbase in the country, brings the first all-out live K-pop music experience to the Philippine stage. “FTIsland Manila 2010 Showcase” is a two-part limited engagement for devoted FTI fans, a.k.a. “Primadonnas.” Just before the boys hit the center stage, 50 lucky Filipino “Primadonnas” will have a chance to get up close with the FTIsland members in an exclusive fan meet. The Manila showcase is part of the popstars’ major Asian Tour that started in January in Japan, Thailand, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore. The group was so anticipated in Taiwan that a record of 3,000 seats sold out has been reported. F & C Music, the record company of FTIsland, attributed the Taiwanese’s enthusiasm to member and main vocalist Lee Hong Ki’s recent drama “You’re Beautiful.” FTIsland is short for “Five Treasure Island” where each member is considered a treasure. Comprised of five young male members that debuted in 2007, its members are Lee Hong Ki, Choi Jong Hoon (leader, guitar, keyboard), Choi Min Hwan (drums), Song Seung Hyun (guitar, vocal, rap), and Lee Jae Jin (bass, vocal rap).
