ft island is one of the most popular bands in korea, although bands aren't main stream the korean gp does appreciate them. they are currently made up of 3 members: hongki (the vocalist, one of the greatest vocalists in the industry i will not stress it) jaejin (the bassist, also an outstanding singer) and minhwan (the drummer)
Hey guys so happy you checked out this amazing band!! The name is actually pronounced F T Island so say the letters separately. They have an amazing discography and a pretty long career within the kpop/krock scene. The lead singer Lee Hong-gi is a phenomenal singer and his range is incredible! I would reccomend checking out some more of their stuff like Wind, Pray, Severely, Out of Love, and Shadows.
They debuted in 2007, first idol band in Korea and for FNC, F is for Ftisland C for Cnblue and N for Nflying... I've been a fan since then members now Lee Hong Ki the most recognized voice in Korea. He is wonderful. Actor and singer, right now doing the musical play Jack the Ripper... Minhwan a genius drummer, Lee Jae Jin the bassist. They just finished their military service and a new mini album is coming. Best songs Pray, Shadows, Love Sick, Thunder, Monologue, Black Chocolate, wind Wind... etc
F.T. Island (Five Treasure Island) used to be a 5 member Kpop Rock band under FNC Entertainment. They debuted in 2007 and they are still active today. However, 2 members left the group in 2019, so they currently only have 3 members. It is yet to be seen whether the group will replace the members like they have in the past, or if they will just continue as a 3 member band. The main singer of F.T. Island, HongKi, is known for having one of the best rock vocals in the industry. He debuted when he was only 16 years old, and before that he was a child actor since the age of about 10, so he has been in the business for a very long time. He is known for his powerful vocals and for having a vocal range that is out of this world. Although K-bands are different than a traditional Kpop group, I still consider bands like F.T. Island to be part of Kpop, because they are under a Kpop company. Plus, K-Pop stands for Korean popular music, so any style or genre of music that is popular with the mainstream public, and is produced by a Korean company, would be considered part of Kpop. Pop music is short for popular music. Therefore, if in America we were to label our music in the same way, we would call it Apop (American pop music) or Wpop (Western pop music), and this title would encapsulate all music that is popular with the mainstream public. Now just like western music, there are different categories under the Kpop umbrella, such as K-hip-hop, K-rock, K-Jazz, K-R&B, Trot (which I think of as most closely resembling a combination of cabaret and western country music), etc. You should check out some more of F.T. Island's songs to see their wide range of styles. Also, if you like bands, you should discover some other bands such as TraxX which was SM Entertainment's band. Trax debuted with SM in 2004 and they were under SM until they disbanded in 2019. Trax originally was a 4 member band. However, 2 of the members left the band in 2007 and Trax became a duo band. And then in 2018 they rebranded themselves and became a EDM band by adding DJ GinJo to the band. Although, they only had one comeback as an EDM band. Fun fact: Trax was the reason Chanyeol from EXO decided to audition for SM because he originally wanted to be a member of a rock band. (Which is one reason why he plays so many instruments.) Or, CNBlue (Code Name Blue) who are currently a 3 member band also under FNC Entertainment. And, as you may know, Day6 who is a 5 member band under JYP Entertainment. Each of the mainstream Kpop bands fill their own niche. For example, Day6 is more of a pop band, CNBlue is a classic singer/songwriter band, F.T. Island is more of a Rock band and TraxX was one of the first in the industry, so they have covered a lot of different genres over the years. But just like all Kpop groups, they all cover many different styles of music with their songs -- from ballad to pop to traditional rock, etc.
"Plus, K-Pop stands for Korean popular music, so any style or genre of music that is popular with the mainstream public, and is produced by a Korean company, would be considered part of Kpop." You clearly don't know what you are talking about. "Pop" is a musical genre. "Pop" is short for "Popular Music" and it's a musical genre. This isn't a new concept. "Kpop" is not all music that is popular in Korean. It's "Pop music in Korean". Calling everyone who sings in Korean "Kpop" is ignorant and disrespectful. FTIsland are not Kpop. They are K-Rock. FNC is not a Kpop company. They are a music label and have different artist signed to them. Three of the musical acts in FNC are Rock bands so they are not a "Kpop" company. Please stop spreading ignorance about the Korean music industry and about Rock bands like FTIsland that are amazing. You are shortchanging them and misinforming people. "For example, Day6 is more of a pop band, CNBlue is a classic singer/songwriter band" That's not accurate. CNBlue is a Pop Rock band. You would know that if you actually heard a lot of their music. "Pop Rock" is a subgenre of Rock music. "F.T. Island is more of a Rock band" This once against shows you don't know music. "Rock" is the name of a musical genre that centers around guitars, bass and drums. CNBlue is a Rock band also, they just do mostly Pop Rock which is a subgenre of Rock. FTIsland is also a Rock band and they have done many different subgenres of Rock but prefer doing Hard Rock and Metal.
@@NomadFlow The root of pop music comes from the word popular music. The poppy style of music you associate with pop music was first given that name because it was the popular music with the largest amount of the mainstream public. The name was shortened to pop music because it rolls off the tongue better. Over time, pop music took on a more defined style , which is the style we think of as pop music in western cultures today. However, the definition of pop music in Korea uses more of the original concept of the name. K-pop encompasses all types and genres of music. Yes, in the west pop music has been made it's own style, but if we were to categorize western music the same way they do Kpop or Jpop or Cpop, etc. we would then call it Apop (American pop) or Wpop (Western pop) and underneath this title there would be sub-categories. You are using the western definition of music, not necessarily the way music is defined in a lot of other countries and places in the world. I am not saying you are wrong, but I am also not saying what I said is wrong either. I think you are misreading what I said and you are not understanding the full context of where my thought process and understanding is coming from. Plus, what makes you an expert on everything? Who says just because that is the way you choose to define things that that is the one and only way to look at things? Why are you getting so upset? You are more than welcome to write your own comment and say whatever you want. We are different people and have our own thoughts and opinions, but just because we don't have the exact same thoughts and opinions doesn't make me wrong and you right. All I was doing was giving my thoughts about the group. And nothing I said was disparaging or inappropriate and it doesn't minimize or lesson FT Island as a group or their talent. I fully respect them as musicians and Kpop artists alike. If you have more you want people to know about FT. Island and how AMAZING they are, then go ahead and write your own comment. But nothing I said is worth getting upset about. I think you might be letting your bias and need to protect or defend them cloud your view or interpretation of how you read my comment. But It definitely wasn't intended to trigger anyone or cause you to get upset.
@@milindawilson9175 "The root of pop music comes from the word popular music. " You are not giving me any history that I don't know. The problem is you don't know what you are saying. "Pop" is a musical genre. Where the name comes from ("popular music") doesn't change that "Pop" is its own musical genre. Stop copying and pasting lines from articles online because you aren't fooling anyone. You don't really have much knowledge. "K-pop encompasses all types and genres of music. " No, it does not. "K-pop" is "Korean Pop". What you and many ignorant people like you are doing is like a person ignorant of martial arts calling every Asian doing any kind of martial arts "Karate" when in fact there are many, many different styles of martial arts. "but if we were to categorize western music the same way they do Kpop or Jpop or Cpop, etc. " You have no idea what you are talking about. "J-Pop" is "Japanese Pop". "C-Pop" is either "Chinese Pop" or "Canto Pop". They are their own distinct genres. "we would then call it Apop (American pop) or Wpop (Western pop) and underneath this title there would be sub-categories. " That would never happen because "Pop" music was invented in America. This is why Korea, Japan and Chinese Pop is called "K-Pop", "J-Pop", "C-Pop" to name the country that their Pop music is from. "Plus, what makes you an expert on everything?" I never said I was an expert on everything. But I do know about this and you don't. "Why are you getting so upset?" Because you are spreading ignorance and trying to pretend that you have knowledge in music when you clearly don't. You are mislabeling musical acts out of pure ignorance. Once again, it's like calling every Asian martial art "Karate". FTIsland is not "Kpop". They are "K-Rock". "We are different people and have our own thoughts and opinions" You are entitled to your own opinions. What you are not entitled to is your own facts.
@@NomadFlow Kpop stands for Korean Pop music. Do you listen to Kpop? Give me a style or genera of music that hasn't been covered in the world of Kpop. In Korea and in Korean Culture, hip-hop, pop, reggae, trot, EDM, etc. any style of music you can name from western culture has been incorporated into Kpop music. Each style and genera is considered to be part of "Kpop". For example, there are singers and groups who only focus on R&B who the Kpop industry considers part of Kpop, there are hip-hop Kpop artists, K-reggae artists who are part of Kpop, etc. But I am sure you are going to argue yet again that that is not the case. Therefore, I think this argument has come to an end because you are never going to convince me that I am wrong, and obviously you are never going to understand my point of view. So let's just end it here. However, I would like to say. There are much nicer way to get your point across than insulting people. You don't know me and you don't know my background or education level, so please don't say things like, "you don't know anything, or you don't know what you are talking about." Just because you don't agree, does not give you the right to act superior. I may not agree with you, but I would never insult your intelligence or assume I know what your education and knowledge base is, without knowing you personally. Obviously our definitions are different, but that does not make me any less right than you. We can have differing opinions and still coexist. Why take such offense to my comment? What I said is my opinion and it isn't hurting anything or anyone. If you don't like my comment, than ignore me. But nothing I said is going to negatively impact anyone, so why get so upset?
@@milindawilson9175 "Kpop stands for Korean Pop music. Do you listen to Kpop?" "Kpop" stands for "Korean Pop". "Give me a style or genera of music that hasn't been covered in the world of Kpop" What do you mean that "hasn't been covered"? Mixing in some other genres in one song of a musical genre happens all the time with every musical genre. That doesn't mean that musical genres don't exist or that "Pop" isn't a musical genre in and of itself. This is what you don't understand. You think that just because Pop sometimes mixes in let's say some Hip Hop in it that it means that "Pop" isn't a musical genre. No, that's not how it works. You don't know what you are talking about. "Each style and genera is considered to be part of "Kpop"" No. This is the ignorance you are spreading. Just because you hear some other people online in some forums talk like that doesn't make it correct. Once again, it's like ignorantly calling every Asian martial arts "Karate". "I think this argument has come to an end because you are never going to convince me that I am wrong" Hilarious. So you not only do you want to keep living in ignorance but you also want to keep spreading ignorance to other people. Let me tell you, you are hurting the Korean music industry by moronically calling all Korean music artists "Kpop". "Kpop" is nothing more than "Korean Pop". "Pop" is a musical genre in and of itself. FTIsland are NOT a Kpop group. They are a Rock band. Specifically a KRock band. "You don't know me and you don't know my background or education level" Your comments prove that you don't know what you are talking about. If you say that 2 + 2 equals Potato I don't know need to know your life story to know that you don't know anything about math. "Obviously our definitions are different, but that does not make me any less right than you" Uh... yes it does. If you claim that the word "sky" means "feet" you are just wrong. You are literally saying that it's okay to just make up a new reality. "Why take such offense to my comment?" Because you are spreading ignorance. You are calling Rock bands like FTIsland "Kpop" when they are not Kpop. They are a Rock band. "K-Rock" if anything. "But nothing I said is going to negatively impact anyone, so why get so upset?" Yes, it is. Your ignorant comments hurt musical acts. It will give people the wrong impression about musical acts and artists in Korea. There are legitimate fans of Rock and Metal in the West that hate Pop music but would love FTIsland. But if some ignorant person like you tells them "FTIsland are Kpop" they would never listen to them or give them a chance.
This is one of the heavy rock of Ft island, but if you Wanna the soft one, you try another like Ft island heavy song Take me now, Wind Pray Soft Severely Unthinkable Quit I hope Kinda pop I confess Wish Summer Dream Hello hello Almost a balads Like a bird A song for you First kiss Hey Girl Old rocks Until you return Bad women After love
Thank you for react FTISLAND. This group is legendary K-band group. They debuted in 2007. They were huge back then in 2007-2016. Hope you react more. They have many music gender pop pop/rock and ballad. They will have a comeback on December 10, 2021. PLS SUPPORT THEM.
i saw someone once compare Kpop to an industry kinda like how you have Hollywood rather than a specific music genre and i think thats more fair. I really like FTIsland and Lee Hongki (the main singer) has one of my favorit voices in Kpop, I might be ARMY but i have a soft spot for rock and i really enjoy the more rocky side of kpop too, also FTisland has many softer songs and more ballady wich are also nice, so happy seeing them back active again. Personal favorites: Pray, Wind, Severely, Love Sick, Bad Woman, Shadows.
I'd really recommend reacting to Snooze by LUCY, Enough by Hoppipolla, Wind Rider by Lanalouge, and Shoot Me by Day6. These are just a few more songs by really great bands. Hope you can check these out and more FTIsland.
I don't know much about this band, but the main singer here, Hongki, is well known for being a child actor and also has done a lot musical theater. He also had a fashion brand or something. So yeah, he's pretty famous. I haven't seen him in a while though. From what I have heard, I have the impression that Korean indie rock is generally better than Korean hard-rock... What I mean is that korean rock scene is not really that "hardcore", it's more like rock-ballads, pop-rock and that realm. Japanese music, in the other hand, they have a more active/broad/experimental "hardcore" scene.
Please react to their other rock songs: - Pray - Shadows - Out of Love - God Bless You I am a big fan of ftisland and Take Me Now was also not one of my faves. Haha. You should check out of the songs I mentioned above!
You shouldn't take these people in the video seriously. The two in the middle know nothing about Rock music. They disliked this song simply because they only like Hip Hop. "Take Me Now" is a great song. Don't allow someone else to change your opinion especially when they are ignorant and are not open minded.
Oh, if you like K-Rock y'all should definitely check out Bursters. They're heavier than FTIsland though. Especially with songs like Lost Child (debut song) and Smell the rot (one of my favs from their new album).
hahaha I think you guys are doing something wrong. kpop is a word that has an industrial meaning rather than a genre. It refers to idol training systems and idol group music. Ftislnad members also received idol training. Think of it as something like the American motown records. When you say kpop, you seem to be referring to Korean popular music, but in fact, it is only a part of Korean music. As kpop idol groups gain global fame, they seem to represent Korean pop music. Also, global media are using kpop as Korean idol music.
"I think you guys are doing something wrong" They did do something wrong but not what you claim. What they did wrong was talk about a musical genre (Rock) when they know nothing about it. Instead of admitting that they are ignorant of the genre the two in the middle kept talking about it like they knew anything. They should've just admitted they are ignorant of it and that it's not music that they listen to. " kpop is a word that has an industrial meaning rather than a genre" This is incorrect. Kpop is a genre. It's "Korean Pop". It's not "Korean music". It's insulting for you to call everything "Kpop" when it's sung in Korean. "Ftislnad members also received idol training" That doesn't make them a "Kpop" group. FTIsland started out doing Pop Rock and Ballads so they were in Pop music in that sense but they have made many other songs in other sub-genres of Rock meaning they are not a Kpop band.
@@NomadFlow A lot of media already uses kpop as a word to mean an idol group. When you think of K-pop, what you think of is definitely a boy band and a girl band. What you're saying is just a superficial word. K-pop may seem like a genre like hip-hop, but they mix many genres. I've also seen a mix of 25 different genres in the song. It's definitely hard to see as a genre. Now, K-pop companies are expanding into many other countries, establishing local corporations and nurturing locals. It must be said that this is a huge industry. All things that foster idol singers are collectively referred to.
@@skyshin39 It seems obvious to me that English is not your first language. A lot of what you're writing doesn't make sense and also you don't understand much about music. Mixing genres doesn't stop a musical genre from being a musical genre. Some Rock mixes Hip Hop. Some Country even mixes Hip Hop. Some Hip Hop mixes Electronica music. And so on and so on. But Rock, Country and Hip Hop are still musical genres. Kpop is "Korean Pop". FTIsland are not a boy band. "Boy band" means a group of males who sing and dance. FTIsland doesn't dance. They play instruments: Guitars, bass and drums. That makes them a Rock band.
@@NomadFlow No matter what you say, the press writes that way. It's not like my delusion. The Beatles were also rock bands, boy bands, and boy groups. Each genre has a clearly distinguishable sound composition. K-pop has nothing to do with that. Because it's not genre-specific music. K-pop is Concept, choreography, visuals, MV, worldview, song composition, fashion, and makeup are all inclusive. It's like an iPhone that's a mix of mp3, phone and internet. Your argument lacks logic. ft island is also an idol boygroup in Korea. Because they went through Korean idol training. It just takes the form of a rock band.
@@skyshin39 "No matter what you say, the press writes that way" "The press" is a meaningless term. Some people ignorantly write that and some don't. The fact is, they are not a Kpop band. They are KRock. What you are doing is like a person ignorant of martial arts calling every Asian doing any kind of martial arts "Karate" when in fact there are many, many different styles of martial arts. "It's not like my delusion" It actually is. It's like you saying the sky is not blue even though you see that the sky is blue. " The Beatles were also rock bands, boy bands, and boy groups." Once again you prove English is not your first language. Stop arguing with someone like me that is a native English speaker about English. "Boy band" is a specific term that means a group of males singing AND dancing. The Beatles were not a boy band. They were a Rock band. The Backstreet Boys were a "boy band". "Each genre has a clearly distinguishable sound composition. K-pop has nothing to do with that" Yes, it does. "Pop" is a musical genre with a clearly distinguishable sound composition. According to your ignorance, "Pop" doesn't exist in South Korea and all music in Korea is "Pop". " It's like an iPhone that's a mix of mp3, phone and internet." What a bad analogy. Your argument would actually be as if you were saying that all smartphones are iPhones even though an iPhone is just one kind of a smartphone. " Your argument lacks logic." You have no idea what you are talking about. You are mindlessly repeating nonsense. "Kpop" means "Korean Pop". "Pop" is musical genre. Every time someone sings in Korean it doesn't make it "Kpop". "ft island is also an idol boygroup in Korea. Because they went through Korean idol training." That still does not make them "Kpop". There are rappers that also go through "idol training" but that doesn't mean that when they make a Hip Hop track it's "Kpop". It's "K-Hip Hop".
I agree this song was not my favorite listen to Out of Love or Shadows, best songs ever. Ft island is and was on a fight with the label at the time. Hong Ki is friends with Taka from One Ok rock and collaborated in two albums. Ft island is amazing so you don't know them like we did. I hated your review but opinions are that just opinions. Their 2021 comeback ia just amazing and the reboot mini concert was fabulous. Your loss. Unsuscribed too.
I agree that this "review" was horrible. Only the guy all the way to the left (wearing the black hoodie) had interesting things to say. The others talking are not to be taken seriously at all. The two in the middle know nothing about Rock music and were totally prejudiced against it. One of them laughably claimed that Dreamcatcher is better than FTIsland when Dreamcatcher isn't an actual Rock band and later on he said why wasn't there a guitar solo as if every Rock song needs to have a guitar solo. The reason they didn't like this song was because it didn't have any Hip Hop in it and no one was dancing. So no song you would recommend to them from FTIsland are they ever going to enjoy. They are ignorant about music outside of Hip Hop. It was very difficult to listen to this. If they admitted that they don't know about Rock and this isn't music they actually listen to and left it like that then it would've been fine. But they kept talking as if they had any idea what they were talking about when they obviously didn't. Don't let people like this change your opinion of "Take Me Now". "Shadows" is better in my opinion but that doesn't change the fact that "Take Me Now" is still a great Metal song and almost every reaction to this has gotten very positive reviews including from Metalheads. People like the two in the middle here are just bigots and only like music when it's one kind of thing (Hip Hop).

Or, CNBlue (Code Name Blue) who are currently a 3 member band also under FNC Entertainment. And, as you may know, Day6 who is a 5 member band under JYP Entertainment.

Please stop spreading ignorance about the Korean music industry and about Rock bands like FTIsland that are amazing. You are shortchanging them and misinforming people.
"For example, Day6 is more of a pop band, CNBlue is a classic singer/songwriter band"
That's not accurate. CNBlue is a Pop Rock band. You would know that if you actually heard a lot of their music. "Pop Rock" is a subgenre of Rock music.
"F.T. Island is more of a Rock band"
This once against shows you don't know music. "Rock" is the name of a musical genre that centers around guitars, bass and drums. CNBlue is a Rock band also, they just do mostly Pop Rock which is a subgenre of Rock.

@@milindawilson9175 "The root of pop music comes from the word popular music. "
You are not giving me any history that I don't know. The problem is you don't know what you are saying. "Pop" is a musical genre. Where the name comes from ("popular music") doesn't change that "Pop" is its own musical genre. Stop copying and pasting lines from articles online because you aren't fooling anyone. You don't really have much knowledge.
"K-pop encompasses all types and genres of music. "
No, it does not. "K-pop" is "Korean Pop". What you and many ignorant people like you are doing is like a person ignorant of martial arts calling every Asian doing any kind of martial arts "Karate" when in fact there are many, many different styles of martial arts.
"but if we were to categorize western music the same way they do Kpop or Jpop or Cpop, etc. "
You have no idea what you are talking about. "J-Pop" is "Japanese Pop". "C-Pop" is either "Chinese Pop" or "Canto Pop". They are their own distinct genres.
"we would then call it Apop (American pop) or Wpop (Western pop) and underneath this title there would be sub-categories. "
That would never happen because "Pop" music was invented in America. This is why Korea, Japan and Chinese Pop is called "K-Pop", "J-Pop", "C-Pop" to name the country that their Pop music is from.
"Plus, what makes you an expert on everything?"
I never said I was an expert on everything. But I do know about this and you don't.
"Why are you getting so upset?"
Because you are spreading ignorance and trying to pretend that you have knowledge in music when you clearly don't. You are mislabeling musical acts out of pure ignorance. Once again, it's like calling every Asian martial art "Karate". FTIsland is not "Kpop". They are "K-Rock".
"We are different people and have our own thoughts and opinions"
You are entitled to your own opinions. What you are not entitled to is your own facts.
@@NomadFlow Kpop stands for Korean Pop music. Do you listen to Kpop? Give me a style or genera of music that hasn't been covered in the world of Kpop. In Korea and in Korean Culture, hip-hop, pop, reggae, trot, EDM, etc. any style of music you can name from western culture has been incorporated into Kpop music. Each style and genera is considered to be part of "Kpop". For example, there are singers and groups who only focus on R&B who the Kpop industry considers part of Kpop, there are hip-hop Kpop artists, K-reggae artists who are part of Kpop, etc.
But I am sure you are going to argue yet again that that is not the case. Therefore, I think this argument has come to an end because you are never going to convince me that I am wrong, and obviously you are never going to understand my point of view. So let's just end it here.
However, I would like to say. There are much nicer way to get your point across than insulting people. You don't know me and you don't know my background or education level, so please don't say things like, "you don't know anything, or you don't know what you are talking about." Just because you don't agree, does not give you the right to act superior. I may not agree with you, but I would never insult your intelligence or assume I know what your education and knowledge base is, without knowing you personally.
Obviously our definitions are different, but that does not make me any less right than you. We can have differing opinions and still coexist. Why take such offense to my comment? What I said is my opinion and it isn't hurting anything or anyone. If you don't like my comment, than ignore me. But nothing I said is going to negatively impact anyone, so why get so upset?
@@milindawilson9175 "Kpop stands for Korean Pop music. Do you listen to Kpop?"
"Kpop" stands for "Korean Pop".
"Give me a style or genera of music that hasn't been covered in the world of Kpop"
What do you mean that "hasn't been covered"? Mixing in some other genres in one song of a musical genre happens all the time with every musical genre. That doesn't mean that musical genres don't exist or that "Pop" isn't a musical genre in and of itself. This is what you don't understand. You think that just because Pop sometimes mixes in let's say some Hip Hop in it that it means that "Pop" isn't a musical genre. No, that's not how it works. You don't know what you are talking about.
"Each style and genera is considered to be part of "Kpop""
No. This is the ignorance you are spreading. Just because you hear some other people online in some forums talk like that doesn't make it correct. Once again, it's like ignorantly calling every Asian martial arts "Karate".
"I think this argument has come to an end because you are never going to convince me that I am wrong"
Hilarious. So you not only do you want to keep living in ignorance but you also want to keep spreading ignorance to other people. Let me tell you, you are hurting the Korean music industry by moronically calling all Korean music artists "Kpop". "Kpop" is nothing more than "Korean Pop". "Pop" is a musical genre in and of itself. FTIsland are NOT a Kpop group. They are a Rock band. Specifically a KRock band.
"You don't know me and you don't know my background or education level"
Your comments prove that you don't know what you are talking about. If you say that 2 + 2 equals Potato I don't know need to know your life story to know that you don't know anything about math.
"Obviously our definitions are different, but that does not make me any less right than you"
Uh... yes it does. If you claim that the word "sky" means "feet" you are just wrong. You are literally saying that it's okay to just make up a new reality.
"Why take such offense to my comment?"
Because you are spreading ignorance. You are calling Rock bands like FTIsland "Kpop" when they are not Kpop. They are a Rock band. "K-Rock" if anything.
"But nothing I said is going to negatively impact anyone, so why get so upset?"
Yes, it is. Your ignorant comments hurt musical acts. It will give people the wrong impression about musical acts and artists in Korea. There are legitimate fans of Rock and Metal in the West that hate Pop music but would love FTIsland. But if some ignorant person like you tells them "FTIsland are Kpop" they would never listen to them or give them a chance.
This is one of the heavy rock of Ft island, but if you Wanna the soft one, you try another like

Thank you for react FTISLAND. This group is legendary K-band group. They debuted in 2007. They were huge back then in 2007-2016. Hope you react more. They have many music gender pop pop/rock and ballad. They will have a comeback on December 10, 2021. PLS SUPPORT THEM.
The teaser is out, come help us support them

FTIsland!!! Thank you for the reaction
Loved this song!
One of the best K-Band act
My favorite... My Hongstar
Oh YASSS FT ISLAND!
One of my favorite Krock songs!
oh waooww ..thank you for checking them.. Primadona here 🤩
So happy y'all reacted to this.
Could you please check out Onewe
K-ROCK!!!
PLEASE REACT TO DAY6 "you were beautiful" or "i loved you" . They are Band from JYP Ent
i saw someone once compare Kpop to an industry kinda like how you have Hollywood rather than a specific music genre and i think thats more fair. I really like FTIsland and Lee Hongki (the main singer) has one of my favorit voices in Kpop, I might be ARMY but i have a soft spot for rock and i really enjoy the more rocky side of kpop too, also FTisland has many softer songs and more ballady wich are also nice, so happy seeing them back active again. Personal favorites: Pray, Wind, Severely, Love Sick, Bad Woman, Shadows.
First hey
🔥🔥🔥
I'd really recommend reacting to Snooze by LUCY, Enough by Hoppipolla, Wind Rider by Lanalouge, and Shoot Me by Day6. These are just a few more songs by really great bands. Hope you can check these out and more FTIsland.
Wow
Korean also have a rock band with real rapper named N.Flying. I hope you can check out their live performance videos.
Take Me Now is a bop! Please react to other Korean bands which is DAY6 & The Rose too
Pls check out FTISLAND - Pray
I don't know much about this band, but the main singer here, Hongki, is well known for being a child actor and also has done a lot musical theater. He also had a fashion brand or something. So yeah, he's pretty famous. I haven't seen him in a while though. From what I have heard, I have the impression that Korean indie rock is generally better than Korean hard-rock... What I mean is that korean rock scene is not really that "hardcore", it's more like rock-ballads, pop-rock and that realm. Japanese music, in the other hand, they have a more active/broad/experimental "hardcore" scene.
Nice
La niña me recordó a la pelicula Resident evil.
Live is where its at. Hong Ki best vocal in Korea, Jae Jin don't get me started and Minwhan just watch him. Live is where to go,
Please react to their other rock songs:
- Pray
- Shadows
- Out of Love
- God Bless You
I am a big fan of ftisland and Take Me Now was also not one of my faves. Haha. You should check out of the songs I mentioned above!
You shouldn't take these people in the video seriously. The two in the middle know nothing about Rock music. They disliked this song simply because they only like Hip Hop. "Take Me Now" is a great song. Don't allow someone else to change your opinion especially when they are ignorant and are not open minded.
Oh, if you like K-Rock y'all should definitely check out Bursters. They're heavier than FTIsland though. Especially with songs like Lost Child (debut song) and Smell the rot (one of my favs from their new album).
hahaha I think you guys are doing something wrong. kpop is a word that has an industrial meaning rather than a genre. It refers to idol training systems and idol group music. Ftislnad members also received idol training. Think of it as something like the American motown records. When you say kpop, you seem to be referring to Korean popular music, but in fact, it is only a part of Korean music. As kpop idol groups gain global fame, they seem to represent Korean pop music. Also, global media are using kpop as Korean idol music.
"I think you guys are doing something wrong"
They did do something wrong but not what you claim. What they did wrong was talk about a musical genre (Rock) when they know nothing about it. Instead of admitting that they are ignorant of the genre the two in the middle kept talking about it like they knew anything. They should've just admitted they are ignorant of it and that it's not music that they listen to.
" kpop is a word that has an industrial meaning rather than a genre"
This is incorrect. Kpop is a genre. It's "Korean Pop". It's not "Korean music". It's insulting for you to call everything "Kpop" when it's sung in Korean.
"Ftislnad members also received idol training"
That doesn't make them a "Kpop" group. FTIsland started out doing Pop Rock and Ballads so they were in Pop music in that sense but they have made many other songs in other sub-genres of Rock meaning they are not a Kpop band.
@@NomadFlow A lot of media already uses kpop as a word to mean an idol group. When you think of K-pop, what you think of is definitely a boy band and a girl band. What you're saying is just a superficial word. K-pop may seem like a genre like hip-hop, but they mix many genres. I've also seen a mix of 25 different genres in the song. It's definitely hard to see as a genre. Now, K-pop companies are expanding into many other countries, establishing local corporations and nurturing locals. It must be said that this is a huge industry. All things that foster idol singers are collectively referred to.
@@skyshin39 It seems obvious to me that English is not your first language. A lot of what you're writing doesn't make sense and also you don't understand much about music. Mixing genres doesn't stop a musical genre from being a musical genre. Some Rock mixes Hip Hop. Some Country even mixes Hip Hop. Some Hip Hop mixes Electronica music. And so on and so on. But Rock, Country and Hip Hop are still musical genres. Kpop is "Korean Pop". FTIsland are not a boy band. "Boy band" means a group of males who sing and dance. FTIsland doesn't dance. They play instruments: Guitars, bass and drums. That makes them a Rock band.
@@NomadFlow No matter what you say, the press writes that way. It's not like my delusion. The Beatles were also rock bands, boy bands, and boy groups.
Each genre has a clearly distinguishable sound composition. K-pop has nothing to do with that. Because it's not genre-specific music. K-pop is
Concept, choreography, visuals, MV, worldview, song composition, fashion, and makeup are all inclusive. It's like an iPhone that's a mix of mp3, phone and internet. Your argument lacks logic.
ft island is also an idol boygroup in Korea. Because they went through Korean idol training. It just takes the form of a rock band.
@@skyshin39 "No matter what you say, the press writes that way"
"The press" is a meaningless term. Some people ignorantly write that and some don't. The fact is, they are not a Kpop band. They are KRock. What you are doing is like a person ignorant of martial arts calling every Asian doing any kind of martial arts "Karate" when in fact there are many, many different styles of martial arts.
"It's not like my delusion"
It actually is. It's like you saying the sky is not blue even though you see that the sky is blue.
" The Beatles were also rock bands, boy bands, and boy groups."
Once again you prove English is not your first language. Stop arguing with someone like me that is a native English speaker about English. "Boy band" is a specific term that means a group of males singing AND dancing. The Beatles were not a boy band. They were a Rock band. The Backstreet Boys were a "boy band".
"Each genre has a clearly distinguishable sound composition. K-pop has nothing to do with that"
Yes, it does. "Pop" is a musical genre with a clearly distinguishable sound composition. According to your ignorance, "Pop" doesn't exist in South Korea and all music in Korea is "Pop".
" It's like an iPhone that's a mix of mp3, phone and internet."
What a bad analogy. Your argument would actually be as if you were saying that all smartphones are iPhones even though an iPhone is just one kind of a smartphone.
" Your argument lacks logic."
You have no idea what you are talking about. You are mindlessly repeating nonsense. "Kpop" means "Korean Pop". "Pop" is musical genre. Every time someone sings in Korean it doesn't make it "Kpop".
"ft island is also an idol boygroup in Korea. Because they went through Korean idol training."
That still does not make them "Kpop". There are rappers that also go through "idol training" but that doesn't mean that when they make a Hip Hop track it's "Kpop". It's "K-Hip Hop".
I agree this song was not my favorite listen to Out of Love or Shadows, best songs ever. Ft island is and was on a fight with the label at the time. Hong Ki is friends with Taka from One Ok rock and collaborated in two albums. Ft island is amazing so you don't know them like we did. I hated your review but opinions are that just opinions. Their 2021 comeback ia just amazing and the reboot mini concert was fabulous. Your loss. Unsuscribed too.
I agree that this "review" was horrible. Only the guy all the way to the left (wearing the black hoodie) had interesting things to say. The others talking are not to be taken seriously at all. The two in the middle know nothing about Rock music and were totally prejudiced against it. One of them laughably claimed that Dreamcatcher is better than FTIsland when Dreamcatcher isn't an actual Rock band and later on he said why wasn't there a guitar solo as if every Rock song needs to have a guitar solo. The reason they didn't like this song was because it didn't have any Hip Hop in it and no one was dancing. So no song you would recommend to them from FTIsland are they ever going to enjoy. They are ignorant about music outside of Hip Hop. It was very difficult to listen to this. If they admitted that they don't know about Rock and this isn't music they actually listen to and left it like that then it would've been fine. But they kept talking as if they had any idea what they were talking about when they obviously didn't. Don't let people like this change your opinion of "Take Me Now". "Shadows" is better in my opinion but that doesn't change the fact that "Take Me Now" is still a great Metal song and almost every reaction to this has gotten very positive reviews including from Metalheads. People like the two in the middle here are just bigots and only like music when it's one kind of thing (Hip Hop).
please react to onewe they also play instruments
