FT ISLAND CHARMS

FT Island’s ‘Unexpected charm’ in HAN SEUNG HO CEO's eyes:

FIRST : Lee Hong ki

”He likes children a lot. To be honest it was quite unexpected. Because he is active and free, I thought he will find children annoying but I was wrong. He complains to me often but the one who plays the best with my child is Hongki. When I see him play with my child, I think that ‘he is kind and has the carefulness and kindness of being able to look at the child’s eye level.”

SECOND: Choi Jong Hoon

"He is really soft and has lots of tears. Jonghun is always the one who cries when they get scolded. When I am scolding, If I see jonghun crying, even though I have some more to scold but he makes me end it quickly.”

THIRD: Lee Jae jin

”the fans all know it too but he is always clear about work and play and he knows how to he should act at situations. Unexpectedly, he says what he wants to although he looks like he will listen well. I think he’s trying hard to be manly these days. I only saw him as a young boy but sometimes I just think that ‘he became a man too.”

FOURTH: Choi Minhwan

”it seems like he will have a lot of aegyo since he is the maknae but he is the most quiet and steady. He keeps his place quietly. He doesn't really have much maknae-like characteristics. If minhwan gets a girl friend in the future, maybe I would get surprised at the different attitude?”

FIFTH:Song Seunghyun

”i think he is FTIsland’s atmosphere maker. He’s very good with making friends. It could have been hard on him for being a new member but I think he has been able to stand it well. He’s such a innocent and good kid.”

AGAIN, I WANT TO THANK PRIMADONNAS WHO'S KINDLY SHARE THESE WITH US
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARDWORK, YOUR TIME, AND OF COURSE MONEY (which i dont have)

*my ugly drawing but i did this to thank everyone in this wonderful fandom*

TRANS Fanacc - RATED-FT Fanmeeting

Q: How do you paint the picture of your ideal wife?

Hongki: She has to be smart, someone who possesses the qualities which I don't have. I started singing when I was young, so I didn't have the chance to study much. I can't marry anyone who is not smart or who is very serious.

Cr: CODENAME_YUKI

Chinese Translation: MylovelyFT

 When replying about the rumour that FTISLAND is going to disband, Hongki said "I will guard and protect FTISLAND forever!"

Cr: FkaanaaT

Hongki: To prepare for the Summer Arena Tour in Japan, we have been practicing daily into late nights regardless whether we are in Korea or Japan.

Before the start of any concert, if we have not made 100% preparation for it, we will feel very insecure.

Although we are not 100% ready yet, but I still want to hold the concerts quickly, I have been looking forward to it for a long time! Though I'm not sure whether it will be a successᄏᄏᄏ

[130609 Fan-Meeting]

Minari said that now his sleeping hours is approximately 4 hours per day, so he wishes to have a week whereby he can relax just by sleeping and playing online games.

Upon hearing this, Hongki joked "You're going to be fat again if you really do that"XD

Cr: FtGtKD

Chinese Translation: MylovelyFT

[130609 Fan-Meeting]

Q: In which area do you think you have matured recently?

Minhwan: When I took a bath 2 months ago, whenever I looked into the mirror, I would think "Ah, what a pig!" (rubbing his tummy with both hands)

Hongki: A white piggy!

Seunghyun: Minari always bathes with me, and he will look into the mirror and goes "Seunghyun, Seunghyun!! Have I lost any weight?" (imitating Minari)

Minhwan: However, I have been exercising very hard for the past 2 months, so I manage to lose some weight."

(Loud applause from the audience)

Hongki: This is not maturing, it's just losing of weight!"

(Everyone burst out laughing)

Cr: always_minari

Chinese Translation: June_priway

[130609 Fan-Meeting]

At the end, when the members took turn to speak to the fans, Minari said " Everyone, please be sure to watch my musical!"

Jaejinnie then said "For my musical, it's okay if you don't come, because I will think about everyone and work real hard (smile)"

Hongki joked "This is because the popularity of these two is completely different" XD

Cr: FkaanaaT

Chinese Translation: June_priway

[130609 Fan-Meeting]

Hongki said that this year, he seems to have many activities in Japan as well. And because of this, there are Korea Pris asking him "Are you a Japanese?" So he answered he will work hard in the activities in Korea too~

(I guess this can't be help, though it's sad, but the Japanese seem to appreciate the talent of FTISLAND more..)

Cr: anchovy_5

Chinese Translation：MylovelyFT

[130609 Fan-Meeting]

On the topic of quarrel, the parties involved usually goes like this:

Minari with Seunghyun;

Hongki with Jonghoon;

Hongki with Seunghyun;

Jonghoon with Seunghyun;

Minari with Hongki..

Jaejinnie 's name doesn't appear as he will always be the first to say "It's my fault, I'm sorry!"

Cr: FtMM29

Chinese Translation: MylovelyFT

[130609 Fan-Meeting]

When being asked what sort of challenge would they like to take up,

Hongki: I want to tour Europe again! And to cut a solo album!

When the topic of solo album was raised, Jaejinnie was desperately shaking his head at the side (laughs)

Jaejinnie: I want to participate in Immortal Song alone.

Minari: When I see Hongki hyung participating in a movie, it makes me wish to be in one too.

Cr: FtGtKD

Chinese Translation: MylovelyFT

[130609 Fan-Meeting]

MC: How do you rate the album?

Jonghoon: 80%

Audience: ?!

MC: Why is it 80%? XDD

Jonghoon: The songs…○☆□ … Let's drop this topic.

Hongki: Hoonie is always like this, whenever he doesn't know what to say, he will say "Let's drop this topic" XD

However, he eventually answered: Because this time Hyunnie and Minari's songs are not included.. (´；ω；`)

Cr: sweetmikie & SThirohiro

Chinese Translation: MylovelyFT

[130609 Fan-Meeting]

When Seunghuyn was asked to talk about the "must-listen" points of the album, Hongki said "Hyunnie will always memorize what the other members had said earlier in other interviews, and then he will repeat them next time when he's being asked, as though those are his own opinions" XDD

Cr: churingles

Chinese Translation: MylovelyFT

[130609 Fan-Meeting]

Hongki: During live, when I was running on the stage, I don't breathe at all. This is because if I breathe while running, the melodic intervals will be messed up and then it will be a disaster. That's why I have to exercise to increase my stamina.

(Wow, no breathing while running all over the stage but still able to sing powerfully!!! Is Hongki a normal human being? XDD)

Cr: churingles

Chinese Translation: MylovelyFT

[130609 Fan-Meeting]

MC: What is your favourite song in the album?

Hongki: I like Time To, although the music is simple, but it becomes a great song when the person singing it sings better than the original composer XDD

*Jaejinnie is the composer XDD

Cr: FtGtKD

Chinese Translation: MylovelyFT

[130609 Fan-Meeting]

MC: How do you diet?

Hongki: Do aerobic exercise! And don't eat after 7 pm. If I am feeling really hungry, I will just eat either banana or chicken breast. I can lose weight just by drinking too, this is because the next day I will be having a serious diarrhea (laughs)

I change when I get drunk.

YES or NO

jh: YES, I do change. I tend to laugh a lot.

hk: Jonghun also speaks to his pet cat. lol I used to change quite drastically but I fixed it. Now, I just get sleepy.

jh: We're all pretty strong when it comes to alcohol.

jj: If it's among the members, then I'm the weakest. I don't really change when I get drunk, but the next thing I know, I'm in a konbini buying snacks and other stuff.

hk: Minhwan has this habit of feeling the arm of the person beside him.

mh: R--really?

jh: You do. You've touched Seunghyun's arm quite a lot, you know.

hk: Seunghyun turns kind when drunk.

sh: I think I'm always kind tho?

hk: That's why people always have a good (first) impression of you.

what excites you more?

A. sudden body touch while talking

B. accidental indirect kiss

jh: A! skinship is more exciting

jj: and you wont usually notice an indirect kiss

hk: true. in korea, it's just normal to share your drink with everyone else

sh: yep. i choose A too.

mh: i choose B. i don't really like being touched....

hk: eh are you serious?

jh: SAYS THE MAN WHO CANT HELP TOUCHING SEUNGHYUN'S ARM WHEN DRUNK!! LOL

I easily get over a heartbreak

YES or NO

jh: YES!

sh mh: i also think i'm the type who recovers fast

hk: although there are times i immediately get over it, there are also times that i feel i'm still not ready to start a new love. i think it depends

jj: ive also had someone i couldnt get over with.... so i guess it depends on who the other person is

If your girlfriend cooks for you and it tastes bad?

A. I'll directly tell her it's bad

B. I'll keep it to myself

jh hk: Directly tell her!

hk: I'll tell her 'this is seriously bad!' but I'll finish everything! I'm someone who honestly tells my girlfriend anything. Of course, I'll consider her feelings and tell her as nice as possible.

jh: Ah! But recently when we were hanging out, the nabe (hot pot) my friend prepared wasn't delicious but I didn't even tell her! lol

hk: She made it herself? Wow, that's nice. I haven't eaten anything cooked by a girl(space)friend.

jj: WELL I HAVEN'T EATEN ANYTHING MADE BY A GIRLFRIEND....

everyone: lol

sh: I wouldn't say it's bad but my expression would probably give it away. I might say 'it's delicious' but my face would show 'it's bad'

mh: I'll eat it with her. I'll tell her, 'why don't you try it. is it good?' That's how I'll let her know!

who would you rather have as your girlfriend?

A. a good listener

B. a good 'talker'

hk: I'm pretty taklative myself so I'd prefer someone who's a good listener. Of course, I'll listen to what she has to say, too.

jj sh: B would be great. I wanna listen to her stories.

jh mh: Probably A. Because I want to have someone who can listen to me

Who whould you notice during a live?

A. Someone in a bikini

B. A fan who is cosplaying me

hk: Ah! Definitely the one in bikini! There were quite a lot of them in bikinis during our last summer tour. Would it be the same for this upcoming tour? :)

jj sh: We also choose bikini! We're men afterall

jh: Rather than a girl in bikini, I would notice a girl in a mini skirt. haha

hk: We can see the faces and clothes of the fans in the venue, actually

mh: I'd be really happy to see someone cosplaying me! but of course... my eyes would go to the one in bikini. lol

Which behavior do you think is more unpleasant?

A. constantly over-spending on a date (actually the word can also mean, to be haughty)

B. takes a lot of time to prepare

mh: It's alright even if it takes her time to prepare! I can wait.

jh jj sh: Yes, I don't mind waiting.

hk: I can't so I choose B.

jj: PLEASE TRY TO WAIT!

In the end, A man is defined by _____ !

A. Personality

B. Money

jh jj sh mh: A!

hk: i used to think it's personality, but i now think it's money. lol

jj: Whaaat? That's sad

hk: No, because I tell you! If there were a charming man and a rich man, a girl would choose the rich man!

jh: Do you mean to say that women are easily lured by money?

jj: This is sad.........

In the end, A woman is defined by _____ !

A. Looks

B. Personality

sh mh: Personality is very important!

jj: True, cos no matter how good her appearance is, if her personality is awful then that's trouble.

jh: I'll put more importance on the personality of the one I'll marry, but a girlfriend's appearance is important.

sh: Huuuh?

hk: He's saying this but actually, he doesn't care about looks. Because he's the diligent very affectionate type!

jj: True!

If your girlfriend mentions another man's name in her sleep?

A. I'll ask about it

B. I'll act as if I heard nothing

mh: I'll act as if I don't know a thing!

hk: A! I'll wake her up immediately and ask her.

jh jj: I might also wake her up and ask.

sh: No, I don't think I'll go as far as waking her up but I'll bring it up once she does wake up. Like, 'By the way...'

I have more confidence in

A. Surviving on a deserted island for a week

B. Living in Tokyo for a month with only 10,000 Yen

hk: Living in Tokyo for a month with only 10,000 Yen is impossible! You'll only get to eat gyuudon! Won't you at least make it a hundred thousand yen?

mh: I choose A. I'll live by hunting. *does knife slashing sounds and movements*

jj: I think it's A for me, too.

sh: I'll die on a deserted island because I'm weak, so I choose B. lol

jh: Now that you mention it, yeah you're right. lol. Minhwan says A but he hates bugs. Will you be ok?

mh: Ah yeah I hate bugs..... It might not work out after all.

I'll be hurt when someone

A. criticizes my personality

B. criticizes my looks

jj: Definitely A

jh sh mh: Yeah, I'll get hurt more by A.

hk: Well, no one has ever told me anything regarding my personality! (derp face)

jh: W H A T ?

jj: Eh???

sh: Who what?

hk: I meant no one has ever told me that my personality is bad!

sh: .................... oh I see

When walking with your girlfriend, which side do you take?

A. Right

B. Left

hk: I want my girlfriend to be on my right side because I'm left handed ((ok wait hongki this doesnt make sense but ok))

jh: I take the right side.

jj sh mh: We want our girlfriends to be on our left. (So they take the right side)

sh: I wonder if it's related to which hand is dominant

jj: Because Hongki is the only left-handed one

hk: I've been using both hands recently, though. I usually use my left hand when I need to use more strength like when working out. But when I write or eat, and hold the mic, I use my right hand. AND BTW IM A LEFT-HANDED AND AB TYPE SO I'M AN ULTIMATE GENIUS ((lol ok hongki))

More feels for a girl who sings ____ in karaoke

A. an upbeat song

B. a ballad

hk: Ballad for me

sh: If she sings it well, that is

mh: It's also ballad for me.

hk: It's definitely fun having a girl singing an upbeat song but you won't really have feels.

jj: yeah

jh sh: so it's settled! Ballad for all the members!

I like a woman who is

A. submissive like a dog

B. fickle like a cat

hk: Dog! That's why I have dogs ♥

jh: Someone like a cat for me. That's why I have cats ♥

hk: I have a cat, too but for some reason, my cat's like a dog. lol

sh mh: A

jj: B for me. A catlike girl would be nice. I'll accept her fickleness and watch over her.

jh: Heh~ you're a nice guy. ((what do you mean jonghun you also chose cat so why did you choose cat))

hk: And it's pitiful because there are times when this kindness of Jaejin doesn't get reciprocated

jj: huhuhuhu

If you had a conflict with your schedule and you had to choose, which would you

A. girlfriend's birthday

B. a member's wedding

hk: I can go to the wedding, then meet with her

everyone: true true

mh: go to the wedding in the morning, then go on a date with my girlfriend at night

jj: i can just bring my girlfriend to the wedding

everyone: ah, that's good too
