translation from Hongkira. Hongki /reading a listener’s message/: When I was in middle school, there is this one group of singer that I really like, I follow them to their concerts, fanmeetings, and all. One day, I went to their fansign event, and as I was going to have my final exam, I asked them to cheer me on. That singer told me, “you dont study well, do you?â€. At that very moment, I was left speechless. The young me was really upset hearing that. I cried a lot when I got home. After that, I studied really hard. Now I become a kindergarten teacher, hah, I am someone who teaches! FTISLAND’s Choi Minhwan, you never really know people, dont you? Now, I am teacher, you know! Hongki: No, but really, did Minhwan really told you that you cant study well? Ah.. he shouldn’t have done that.. Minhwan is someone who is short in thought when reading people, he even jokingly said those kind of stuffs to a fan. So, first of all, congratulations for being a kindergarten teacher. As his hyung, I would like to relay my apologies in his place. xD;; —– When Hongki was reading up messages, Hongki suddenly laughed nervously, while stealing glances at the direction of the waiting room, “No, but Lee Jaejin-ssi keeps glaring at me right now†xD —– Listener: At these people, one thing that I have really wanted to ask, “Where have you been, what have you been doing, that you guys come to Hongkira so belated like this??†I have been so curious about that, I thought that you would guest when you have your comeback later on. Hongki: So, who are these people who have got everyone asking where have they been all this time?? XD —– Hongki: No, but Seunghyun and Minhwan came here on its first broadcast. Jonghoon and Jaejin, where have you been that you come only now? Jonghoon: You didn’t call us! Hongki: What are you talking aboutt?? Jaejin: What do you mean what you’re talking about, I have been wanting to come to guest here but you didn’t call us! Hongki: On our first broadcast, I called you guys, but the two of you had another schedule, didn’t you?? Jaejin: Excuse me, as for that, I had a movie premiere for my movie at that time! How was I supposed to come here? Hongki: Thats why, its not that I didn’t call you, but you had another schedule! Jonghoon also went to the movie premiere, didn’t you? (t/n: At that time, FT was split into two, Seunghyun and Minhwan went to support Hongki on Hongkira’s first broadcast, while Jonghoon went to support Jaejin on his movie premiere ;) team work at its best! <3) But, at least, Jaejin posted on SNS that he was listening to Hongkira. Jonghoon, what about you? Jonghoon: I listened to all of it! There are some stuffs that I even still remember! That corner that Seunghyun guests with DinDin for example! (–> Jonghoon has been diligently following Seunghyun’s corner in Hongkira! ;)) Hongki: But Seunghyun, everytime you came to guest, you have always been telling us stuffs about Youngshin, you never talked about the members. Can you tell us what the members have been up to lately? Seunghyun: As for Minhwan, he has been writing songs with me. For Jaejin, he has been asking me to have some coffee together lately. Which I refused lol. I caught some cold, so I have been just staying at my house lately. As for Jonghoonnie hyung, he has like always been busy with golf, he even just returned from a golf event overseas. So that’s why, we are planning to grab some drinks together the five of us now. Hongki: Thats right, we’re planning to grab some drinks after this, but apparently, only Seunghyun wont be able to make it tonight.. Seunghyun: Right.. there is a friend coming from Japan, so I can’t go today.. Jonghoon: Just ask them to hang out together.. Seunghyun: Are you sure you won’t mind, together with guys? Jonghoon: Ah its guys, thats definitely a no then! xD;; Listener: FT who have been together for the last 10 years, please give yourself some compliments, “for the last 10 years, I have been doing a good job at thisâ€.. for self-complimenting like this, its something that FT can’t miss, can we? Who wants to start first? Jaejin: /right away/ Me, me! This is Jaejin who is ready anytime to compliment himself. Jaejin-ah.. for the last 10 years in FTISLAND, you have been doing a good job as the middle guy, Jaejin, you are so commendable.. Jonghoon: Jonghoon-ah, in the last 10-ish years, you have been doing a good job in staying together with the rest 4 retards (the members laughed xD), you have been through a lot. From now on too, please take care of those retards well. Hongki: Ah, but you know, “retards†isn’t too appropriate for broadcasts Jonghoon: Ah really, its because its been a while that I’m on a broadcast Jaejin: Then, (change it into) stupid kids! Seunghyun: Fools! xDD Minhwan’s turn Minhwan: Minhwan-ah, during your dorm life, for being able to bear with hyungs who wouldn’t turn off the light even until super late at night that you always cried, I am really grateful. Seunghyun: Seunghyun-ssi who is DJ-ing in Hongkira will give it a try. Ah but, what is there to think about, you have done a good job for being able to be a guest DJ in Hongkira! Hongki: Ah, Seunghyun, I didn’t know that you liked it that much to be in a broadcast! Jonghoon: This kid is so fake lol Seunghyun: I have learned a lot xDD Hongki’s turn Hongki: For being able to hang in there with your throat being in both good or bad condition so that you can sing well, congratulations. Ah no, not congrats, you’re so commendable! Hongki: Actually, there are a lot of questions that have to do with our 10th year. For that, we will all come here again when we have our anniversary, so we can continue answering all of them. You will come, won’t you when we celebrate our 10th anniv? Members: Sure, if you call us! Hongki: We all definitely should come then! —– Hongki asked them to say their feelings of being in FT for 10 years in 7 words since FTISLAND is also written in 7 words (t/n: as in ì—프티 ì•„ì¼ëžœë“œ). They panicked, they had no idea of what to say lol Jaejin said something, but everyone wasn’t too amused, they said his is too boring lol In the end, Jonghoon said “Not 10th year, but 60thâ€, he said that 80 or 100 years would be too much, so 60th year would be the best. If we get to our 60th anniversary, we’d be 80 years old by then, wouldn’t that be great? —– Listener: You guys, didn’t you go celebrate the new year together? What do you usually say when you toast your drinks? Please recommend us some cool ones! Hongki: Um, we just say gonbe? Minhwan: We say jjan! Jonghoon: Lets die today! Minhwan: Don’t run away! Hongki: Don’t go home yet! lol Hongki: But, yes, we did have a new year celebration together, but in the end I couldn’t make it because I was in Taiwan. Seunghyun: Yes, its too bad.. Minan caught a cold, so he went to the hospital earlier and received IV. But he said he’s okay, and that noone needs to be worried. Hongki: We are going to do a live today, its been a while that we do. Jonghoon: Yes, but radio live is something that I ended up fearing. Because when we just debuted, we did a lot of mistakes when we did radio lives. Jaejin: Ahaha I remember that! Hongki: But, you did mistakes too though even after that Jonghoon: Yes, but the mistakes (that we did when we just debuted) left a deep scar in my heart (xD;;) Hongki: Ahh.. for the song that we are going to perform tonight, its Becoming You. Its a song that Jonghoon composed isn’t it? Jonghoon: Yes, its a song that I made for our last album half a year ago. Hongki: You made a lot of songs, didn’t you? If you have to choose, how do you rank Becoming You? Jonghoon: Umm.. if I have to, its on #1. The meaning of this song is so deep. —– Hongki: It is so weird, its a show that I host myself, but now that I host it together with all of the members, the feeling is quite new. Thank you for Hongkira PD team for making it happen. Even though you didn’t buy me Bungeoppang, but I guess its okay.xD Hongki: Ah I was so nervous, my face is all red Seunghyun: Hongki hyung is too cute, you were following Jaejin hyung’s bass, weren’t you? Hongki: I was following Jaejin’s bass, I thought I was an RnB singer. xDD My face feels all hot. xDD Hongki: Seunghyun, are you ready for the next song? Seunghyun: Ah please wait, I’m still tuning. Hongki: To get a concert-like feeling, we should proceed to the next song right away. Seunghyun: As is that so? Aren’t we going to do it slowly? Can you please give 30 more minutes? Hongki: If we give you 30 minutes, the show would’ve been over by then lol Listener: Minari, is that djembe that you are playing now? Minhwan: Its a bit different from djembe.. its cajon. It gives you somewhat a mini drum feeling. (a little drum lesson here from Minari ;)) Hongki: That was Severely by FTISLAND, how do you guys feel after performing it? Jonghoon: Its been a while that I listened to the instruments, and its been a while that I listened to Hongki’s voice, it feels good. Hongki: How, do you think there is any upgrade in my voice? Jonghoon: Nope lol Minhwan: To that extent, you did well.. Hongki: Ah, I wanted to hear something more than that, but it was apparently a no.. xD;; Hongki said that he thought he would feel less nervous since all 5 members are there, but he said that instead, he feels especially nervous. Seunghyun agreed, he said that the feeling is somewhat different. ^^ —– Listener: Who among you who feels that you’d do a better job than Hongki in DJ-ing the radio show? Jaejin: Me, yes, Lee Jaejinnie. Not Lee Jaejin’s Kiss the Radio but Lee Jaejinnie’s Kiss the Radio. Lol Minhwan: But honestly, I think noone would do a better job than Hongki hyung. Seunghyun: Indeed, Lee Hongki’s Kiss the Radio still sounds better than Lee Jaejin’s Kiss The Radio. /bows to Hongki/ Hongki: lolll Seunghyunnie.. you are doing great! Jonghoon: /to Hongki/ You raised him well!! xDD /to Seung/ You shouldve guested more, you’re doing alright! xD —– Listener: If you have to choose, which member would you like to be in the next life? Minhwan: Jonghoon Hongki: As for Jaejin, it must be me. Seunghyun? Jaejin: NOOO Its not!!! Hongki: lol /ignores/ Seunghyun? Seunghyun: Jaejin’s reply is Hongki? Jaejin: NO, I said no!! Hongki: The person that Jaejin respects the most is Lee Hongki, so its mustve been me! lol Jaejin: No its not!! Lol For me, its also Jonghoon, because of his face. xD Seunghyun: For me, its Hongki. Not because I want to DJ.. lol Minhwan: Seunghyun is a bit weired today lol Seunghyun: Its because when as a band, he is the frontman. I wanna be him who stands on the front, grabs mic, and sings, looks so cool. Also, when the four of us go to practice, I wanna be him who doesnt go to practices. xD —– Listener: The member who in the past 10 years has changed the most? Hongki: Lets say together, 1,2,3, (all) Jaejin! Members: Jaejin now becomes so cool, he smells good, he becomes dandy. He is also more fashionable now. He is also more confident in himself now, his personality has also changed, he is brighter now. Listener: What is the soonest work plan that you have now? Jonghoon: I have been working on our 10th anniversary album. Jaejin: Talking about our 10th anniversary album, in the past 10 years, usually we just worked hard to repay our fans’ love, we just worked with a comfortable feeling. But for this, the feeling of burden and resposibility is no joke. So I focus even more when I work on songs and spend more time on each, I think I work three times harder than usual. I just kept writing songs lately. Hongki: Ah, thank you. I feel really grateful to you guys. When I work on songs, you don’t. But when I don’t, you guys do. Minhwan: But thats a good thing, isn’t it? We fill in each other. Seunghyun: I feel grateful to Minhwan. Lately we spent a whole lot of time at his house together, working on songs, be it songs that would be good for FT or just for both of us. Hongki: As for Minhwan, he’s just holed up at his house, playing games. Jonghoon: Don’t you date too? Minhwan: Of course I date when I do xD —– Listener: Jaejin, you sing so well, have you ever thought of appearing in Masked King? Jaejin: Ah, the difference between me and Hongki hyung is that, I can sing in lives and concerts, but I’m still afraid to sing in broadcasts. I’m too nervous. I will work even harder then, thank you! And then they had a karaoke war, dongsaeng team and hyung team. Dongsaeng team (Minhwan+Seunghyun) sang Supreme Team’s Super Magic, while hyung team (Jonghoon+Jaejin) sangn Lee Juck’s Dont Worry Dear. Hyung team got 95 while dongsaeng team got 87. Listener: Whoa FNC did you see that? The two of them (Jonghoon+Jaejin) did so well, please give them more jobs, it reminds me of FT Triple. Hongki: Ah if thats the case, Minhwan, what about you? (t/n: since FT Triple is Jonghoon, Jaejin, and Minhwan) Minhwan: Well, theyre all good except for me then. Lol If there is the next chance, I will do better. Hongki: Seunghyun and I can just do acoustic vocal performance the two of us, then.. Minhwan: Then, I will just stay home lol —– Hongki: As we have been around and together for 10 years, as our Leader, Jonghoon, please say something. Jonghoon: As this is a very special moment, a lot of people have been looking forward to how we are going to celebrate it be it a 10th anniversary album or various other plans. As much as everyone looking forward to it, we will do our best to prepare for it now. Everyone will probably be a bit surprised about it. Hongki: Give us a super tiny hint! Jonghoon: Umm.. 3/7, 4/7, 5/7, 6/7? Hongki: Eh, what is that? (Could it be that Hongki or some members had no idea about it all? I think only Leader and Jaejin know? Lol) Jonghoon: 3/7, 4/7, 5/7/ 7/7, 8/7.. Jaejin: Its something that came up a lot everytime we talked ;D —– Minhwan: In February, Seunghyun and I will have a fanmeeting together. We will perform our self-composed songs. Hongki: Eh really? I had no idea about it! Where will that be? Minhwan: In Hongdae. Hongki: No but is this something that you can reveal already? Minhwan: Of course! xD Hongki: Ah really, there are a lot of surprises to the end.. xD full credit to http://lakkimi.tumblr.com/post/155721739404/vidtrans-170109-hongkira-ftisland-special

FTISLAND 2017 Season’s Greetings Interview CHOI JONGHUN: Q. Do You Enjoy New Experiences Or Adventures? - I tend to enjoy adventures. I also take the hard route on purpose to feel satisfaction or relieve stress. I’m playing golf lately and I always want to score better. Just like everyone else, I’m scared about starting something new. But once I start, I end up forgetting about the fear and focus on the task. Q. What Kind Of A Role Model Do You Want To Be? - I want to give energy to people who are pessimistic and are exhausted from life. I used to be like that once. Maybe it’s been 3 to 4 years since then? I went through something that turned me into an optimist. I’m still young but because I went through that experience, I wish other people also enjoy a meaningful and happy life. Why not make it fun? You only live once. Q. Are You Full Of Energy? - I’m usually on the quiet side. But as FTSLAND’s leader, I try my best to brighten up the mood. Q. What’s The One Unforgettable Moment With FTISLAND Members From The Past 10 Years? - It’s hard to pick just one because there are so many…But if I have to pick one, drinking Sake and enjoying delicious food at a private inn in Japan? I want to go back there with members. Q. If You Get Enough Time And Money, What Do You Want To Do? - Explore the African Safari! I’ve visited pretty much all of the usual places for work and travel. It’d be a big adventure to go all the way to Africa and explore the Safari. It can be scary but once I’m there, it’d be so much fun! Q. If You Were To Dream Of Your Second Life? - I want to be a painter. I wish I can freely express my crazy side and transfer happiness and sadness onto canvas. I think it’d also be fun to share my process and experiences with other artists. LEE HONGKI: Q. When Do You Feel The Bravest? When Do You Feel The Most Timid? - I become both shy and brave when I have to show myself at a place that doesn’t belong to me. For example, there are musicals, a joint-stage with other artists and places with fans of other artists. I think I enjoy the thrill. I openly tell people: “I’m shaking right now.†Q. Have You Ever Done Something You Weren’t Sure About? - I don’t take on ridiculous risks. I think about it in my head first. I do what I think I can do. I never do what seems impossible and what I don’t feel right about. Q. What About The Things That Make You Wonder “Can I? Can’t I?†- I tend to do those. That’s how I felt before starting the musical. But once I did it, it was really fun. I am really glad that I did it. Q. What Kind Of A Life Would You Be Living In 10 Years? - A life with a rich heart. A relaxed life where I can slowly prepare for what I want to do. Won’t our members be married and taking care of their families by then? I hope our maniac fandom will be much stronger. I want to age peacefully in that circle while doing what we each want to do. Q. Can You Imagine Getting Older With Fans? - Our fans also live their own lives. Even after I age, I want to give strength to fans with music. I hope the fans keep cheering me on knowing, “Lee Hongki is this kind of a person. He does this kind of music.†I don’t want them to think of me as a role model, idol or a substitute boyfriend. I want to age with them while relating to music and each other’s lives. LEE JAEJIN: Q. When Did You Make The Boldest Decision Of Your Life? - Before debut, I had to decide if I was going to stay with FTISLAND or quit. I think I rehearsed with everyone and hung out with them with the mindset of “I don’t have any money. If I don’t do this, what else am I going to do?†I didn’t consider this to be work at the time. So I wasn’t greedy. I was much more brave than I am now. Q. Do You Have A Strategy Of Finding Courage When You Need It? - Not really. I don’t think you have to be brave at all times. I think you will naturally find courage if really need it. If you can’t find it and fail at something, that’s how it was meant to be. Q. Who Gives You The Most Strength? - Lee Yongjik is my acting teacher. He was actually my older sister’s acting teacher. But when I felt helpless 3-4 years ago, I thought I should learn how to act and called him up. Since then, he taught me how to act and control my emotions. He is my mentor as well as a friend, a father and a big brother, and sometimes a little brother. When something happens, I call him before I even call my mom. Q. Did You Know You’d Be Active As FTISLAND For More Than 10 Years? - I never thought about it. Because all of ours members are honest and try their very best each moment, we never even had to think about 10 years later. I can actually imagine 10 years from now. Wouldn’t we each be married, fly overseas to perform in rock festivals, and promote individually as well as together? Q. On Your Own, What Do You Want To Do Other Than Acting? - I want to teach students. As a teacher and life senior, I want to tell them how enjoyable listening to music is and teach them about approaching unfamiliar music with an open-mind. I want to be someone who can communicate and relate to my juniors. SONG SEUNGHYUN: Q. What’s The One Challenge You Face Right Now? - Rather than having a special challenge, I think it’s always a challenge to stay where I am. Always being grateful of making it this far and taking care of myself. Grooming myself and having some healing time. I need to be healthy both physically and mentally to take on a new challenge. Q. How Did You Mature Over The Past 10 Years? - I’m still far from growing up. I may be the oldest child at home but I’m still like a child among members. Rather than maturing, I can tell I’ve aged. When I look at my reflection, the day after drinking…So I’m exercising. I need my physical strength to keep working. Q. If You Were To Pick A Role Model Or Someone You Want To Resemble?- Im Changjung. He is both an excellent singer and actor. He is loved by the general public. But most importantly, I think he is a person who knows how to live happily before he is a celebrity. He is always smiling, takes good care of his juniors, and enjoys meeting new people. Q. How Do You Think FTISLAND Will Change In The Next 10 Years? - Except for the fact that we would all have families, I don’t think there would be a major difference. As time passes, wouldn’t we become more like friends than brothers? We would depend on each other more. Q. What Is Your Long-Term Goal? - I want to be the best on stage. But in the process of achieving that dream, I think it’s more important to be happy. Don’t get stressed out but to live with a full heart and not be tied to money. I think it’d be nice to live with in a pretty house with my family. Of course, I’d be very grateful if I’m still working as FTISLAND. I’ll also take on acting and other opportunities. I won’t force a chance but when I get one, I give it my all. CHOI MINHWAN: Q. What Would You Try All Your Life? - Instruments. I really like playing different instruments so I want to learn something other than drums. I think it’s awesome to see older adults play the guitar or piano. Look at Metallica. They are all in their 50s but they are so passionate and full of energy on stage. When I have a kid of my own, I want to teach him/her instruments and raise him/her with music. Q. Artists Should Always Try New Things. But Before You Are An Artist, What Kind Of A Person Are You? - I want everything to be as perfect as they can be. I don’t like unexpected changes so I picture everything in my head. I can’t fall asleep if I don’t memorize all of my musical lines in advance. I don’t try things that I’m not interested but when I get hooked on something, I get obsessed. So I even get picky about the necessary tools. If I’m going to exercise, I need all the machines and if I’m going to study, I have to buy pens and papers first. Q. ‘ Can I Do Well?,’ ‘Is This Possible?’ Were There Times You Weren’t Sure About Something But Succeeded At It? - I was really worried while preparing our album last year. We argued often. Rather than a popularity, we were focused on sharing the real FTISLAND music. Even if we didn’t produce a hit song, we wanted to show our fans, who have liked us since the beginning, that we have improved. We wanted them to feel proud of their decision to be FTISLAND’s fans. Everyone was satisfied in the end. Q. There Must Be Something You Wish For Even After 10 Years - I wish we had more time. For example, I wish we can work on an album over several years. The more time you spend on it, the better album you’ll get. Compared to when we first debuted, we have much more time now. We should be getting more as more time passes, right? Q. If You Hadn’t Been A FTISLAND Member, What Would You Be doing? - I think I would be studying. I didn’t really have a special dream as a child but I did follow my dad’s suggestion to be a judge and read some law books. I don’t think I’ve gone to a good university though. I can’t sit still for a long time. cr djPri tumblr http://djpri.tumblr.com/post/154495739832/ft-trans-ftisland-2017-seasons-greetings

In what may be the biggest scale challenge we've seen so far (if not ever), F.T. Island enlisted the help of not just their staff, AOA members Jimin and Seolhyun, but also the entire audience to their concert for their mannequin challenge. Seunghyun andHongki both posted the video onto their Instagram pages. It's impressive how united the fans are in keeping absolutely quiet and still for the entirety of the video, so make sure to watch the video below! http://www.allkpop.com/article/2016/12/ft-island-pulls-off-possibly-the-biggest-ever-mannequin-challenge https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eSVXcfbRro
