K-pop group FT Island held press conference in Manila
K-pop boy band FT Island will be very busy for the whole year and will be spending more time in Japan to focus on their music after their Asian tour, after which they will come back to South Korea.
This was revealed by the boy band when they held their press conference at the Marriott Hotel in Pasay City in line with their FT Island Manila 2010 Showcase, which will be held on Saturday, March 6, at 6 p.m. at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) Plenary Hall.
The Manila Showcase and fan meeting were organized by SpinManila, an events and concerts company. Tickets to the Showcase and fan meeting were all sold out, according to the organizer, proving FT Island’s popularity in the Philippines.
Lee Hongki said once their Asian promo tour ends, FT Island would be flying back to Japan to “study more music” and go back to South Korea in the latter part of the year.
FT Island’s Asian tour started in January in Japan and then they went to Thailand, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore.
FT Island’s schedule on March 5 was packed. Before the press conference, the boy band members—Song Seung Hyun, Lee Jae Jin, Choi Min Hwan, Lee Hongki, and Choi Jong Hun—guested on ABS-CBN’s “Showtime,” to the delight of hundreds of fans who even brought banners to the studio.
On the TV program, Hongki sang “Still (As Ever)," a cut from the official soundtrack of the Korean teen drama series “You’re Beautiful,” where he also is a cast member.
