FTIsland is not K-pop group and they don't consider them selfs as idols( Hongkis , The main singers own words in a interview). They are a rock band (K-Rock). I think Hongkis voice is one of top 3 in Korea. His emotional and raspy voice hit deep in ones soul. Thank you for reacting to FTIsland. They sure deserve more recognition.
Cool reaction! Yes, ftisland’s vocalist, Hongki is recognized as one of the best. His live performances are even better, as crazy as that sounds! For starters, ftisland is a rock band that debuted in 2007, comprising of Jonghoon(Leader, lead guitarist and keyboard), Hongki(vocalist), Jaejin (bassist, sub vocal), Seunghyun (guitar,sub vocal,rap) and Minhwan(drummer). If you dig rock, have a listen to “Pray” and “Take Me Now” and you’ll see how they aren’t joking around. For the best band experience, I would suggest you look up their live concert perf. The normal performances on broadcast stations such as music bank etc force bands to handsync as they aren’t equipped enough (not that the bands are not good enough. It’s a system that favors dance groups what can we do). Also, in Still Love You, the other guy (hweeseung) singing is also in a band called Nflying. Ftisland and nflying are both under FNC Entertainment which is famous for housing bands. They currently have ftisland, cnblue, nflying and honeyst. Outside of their company, there are many bands as well like Day6, drug restaurant etc... Outside of music, ftisland is a crazy but fun group. They are really variety gold and even have a 19+ variety show called “Coming Out Ftisland”. They are definitely not your standard fluffy idols LOL. Hope you’ll get to know them and kbands more in general 😊
Looking back, WIND wasnt appreciated enough as a masterpiece. FTISLAND's attempt to combine their old sound with their developed style gave out such beautiful result. I really loved that twist in the middle where they picked up and went hard.
FTISLAND is the 5 members band debuted in 2007 when they were only 15-17. The leader is Choi Jonghhon, the guy who play the piano also their main guitar player. Can play ton of instruments. FT composer and their mom lol! He's also an actor and a painter. The lead singer is Lee Hongki a certified Hallyu star. besides a singer.. he's also an actor/Hongkira radio DJ/fashion director/semi pro bowler(I kid you not, the dude took a test to be a pro bowler) and soon Mnet Produce 48 vocal trainer. He is considered as one of the best young singer in Korea (highly respected by his seniors and juniors)has ton of friends in industry both in Korea and Japan. The bass player is Lee Jaejin, he's the second vocal in this band, the brain in FT. He composed best FT songs IMO., also an actor😅 the second guitar player also an actor😅 the clown in FT. The drummer is Choi Minhwan, also and actor and he's getting married soon ❤
FT ISLAND is the first band (idol) in the industry, the first band that actually have succeeded, sadly in Korea prefers the dance groups, but in Japan they're really famous, and actually all the members sing pretty good, but HongKi is the lead vocalist, and one of the best in the industry. I recomend you to watch "we are" in that song all the members sings and "shadow" Full ver. The vocalist is Lee Hong Ki he's also and actor, DJ and songwritter. (the same boy that sing in Still Love You) The bass player is Lee Jaejin (03:14-03:19) The drummer is Choi Min Hwan (Minari) The guitarrist and leader of the band is Choi Jong hoon (the guy playing piano in the beggining) The second guitarrist is Song Seung Hyun (02:58)
Thank you for reacting FTISLAND 😊 The lead vocalist is Lee Hongki, Choi Jonghoon the (Keyboard, Guitarist and Leader of the band), Lee Jaejin is the (Bassist and Vocal), Song Seunghyun is the (Guitarist, Vocal, Rapper), Choi Minhwan is the (Genius Drummer) he called genius drummer because such a young age (11 years old) he is can play a drum instrument ❤ By the way I'm a huge fan of FTISLAND since 10yrs ❤ They are one of the old group in KPOP, FTISLAND debuted in 2007 and they debuted in the age of 15-17 years old. In such a young age they are amazing to play instruments and the vocalist of that band his vocals is super powerful, beautiful and unique since debut ❤ I become a fan of them because of their music, their music is super beautiful and amazing ❤ Actually they are really more amazing in live performance than MV ❤ Their vocalist Lee Hongki is one of the amazing vocals in KPOP ❤ That song "WIND" is made by Lee Hongki the vocalist of that band ❤ They are popular also in Japan and they have many japanese songs, and they have anime songs too ❤ FTISLAND is from FNC Entertainment ❤ Please react this next FTISLAND - Take Me Now (MV) ruclips.net/video/WsC0jG1M5jA/видео.html ❤ That song is so amazing too I highly recommended that 😉❤
"are they an old group" I can't really argue with that, but the youngest member was around 14 when they debuted and since 7/6 '18 passed, they're 11 year active by now and the youngest member became father pretty recently!! I'm so proud
Thank you for your reaction，ftisland is a band，they creat many songs of different styles，you can react to 《pray》《take me now》《shadows》，theses are hard rock，if you like ballad，you can react to 《crying in the rain》《do you know why》《bpm69》.By the way，their live is more attractive than mv，if you watch the video of concert，I believe you will fall in love with them.
Lee Hongki is the lead singer of the first Korean idol band in Korea : FTISLAND. FTISLAND had 5 members and debuted in June 2007 and are the first artists of their agency FNC Entertainment. Their debut album "Cheerful Sensibility" and 1st title song "Love Sick" have been a huge hit in Korea. Still now almost 11 years later "Love Sick" sometimes appear on the Korean charts. But their company mismanaged them and they have lost a lot of their initial popularity in Korea that did not appreciate their talent enough. Tey're now much more popular in Japan where they have more artistic freedom. They do all kind of music, hard rock, rock, ballad rock, pop rock... compose, write and produce most of their songs. It's commonly accepted than their live concert performances are much more better than the recorded version, so I highly recommend you to react to some of their live concert performances. For the members you have : Lee Hongki : FTISLAND's lead singer, he is indeed one of the vocal in "Still Love You". He sings most of the parts in FTISLAND songs, and is known in Korea for his amazing vocal, praised by seniors and juniors. He's also actor you can find him in "You're Beautiful", "Modern Farmer", "Hwayugi"... He has also been a popular radio DJ from Hongki Kiss The Radio until recently. He is also a fashion director, he has his own brand "Skullhong", and he does a lot of other things... He write most of FTISLAND's fun songs like : "Puppy" / "You don't know who I am" / "Just Do It" / "Champagne" and FTISLAND's fan songs like "We are..." / "On my way"... But he has also composed and write songs like "Memory" / "1234" / "Walking Dead" / "Hold The Moon" / "Take Me Now"... Choi Jonghoon : FTISLAND's leader, main guitarist and he play keyboard. He has composed an written some beautiful break up songs like "Stay" / "Last Love Song" / "Please" / "Cycle"... and some of their most hard rock songs like "PRAY" / "Identity" / "SHADOWS"... Lee Jaejin : FTISLAND's bassist and 2nd vocal. He do a lot of back vocal for Hongki and have a lot more part to sing in their japanese's songs. He's also an actor. And has written and composed some of the best FTISLAND's songs like "Paper Plane" / "Time To" / "Falling Star" / "Morning Coffee" / "To The Light" / "Tornado" / "BPM69" / "Lose" / "imagine" / "A Light In The Forest" / "The Night"... Song Seunghyun : FTISLAND's 2nd guitarist and sub vocalist. He has composed / written : "Yes or No" / "Compass" / "Brand New Days" / "Always"... Choi Minhwan : FTISLAND's drummer and younger member. He will soon be married. He has written / composed : "Emptiness" / "Skyway" / "Reason"... He has also recently released a solo single with 2 songs written, composed and produced by himself. They're still young even if they have debuted almost 11 years ago. The older members (Hongki and Jonghoon) are 28 years old and the younger members (Seunghyun and Minhwan) are 25 years old.
I saw Wind live 3 days ago... I can die in peace now! I still can't believe it! It was so so so beautiful especially the first part where Hongki played the guitar and let us fans sing Wind together. After that he sang the whole song again and the ending part was again sung together with us fans. I cried, my heart couldn't take it. I wan't to see the magain so bad!
I don't know, but this is making me so proud of my boys FT Island! 😍😍 They need more recognition with their talents. SoKor don't give much attention on korean bands as much as they do with idol groups.
Both ftisland and wind are totally underrated, the latter being the most passionate tracks they ever released. Thank you for appreciating these treasures!
Just recently became a huge fan of this group and reading others comments helps me out with who is all in the band and what they do. I also really loved this reaction to this song. It was by far my favorite out of the other reaction videos I have seen. You have such a sweet personality and I love that you are exploring different music and giving others a chance to witness what amazing talent FTISLAND has and others in their category. Keep up with the amazing work girl you made me a subscriber. Love you ❤️
OMG they are so amazing I definitely want to listen to more from them, but just don't know where to start! shoot me a list of songs that you ilke from them!
GET KOOKED They have a great variety of good songs. I listen to them every time I’m driving in to work and on my way home. The songs that I really enjoy from them is Pray, Shadow, Take Me Now, What You Want, Travel, Out of Love. The list goes on and on. They have such a great style of music. They have some slow songs like Wind and some crazy good songs like Pray.
FT Island is one of FNC Ent.'s artists & FNC has some bands which each has good vocal & instruments skill. You can check on other FNC's bands. They are really good musicians cause they writte, compose and/or produce their songs even they did new arrangement for their songs. And FNC's artists are good in live performance, their live performances are better than the studio version😊
I'm sorry that I'm late but here I am as a HUGE Primadonna (FTISLAND's fan), I'm here to introduce you my boys. They're a band which actually more into rock (and that is why in their ballads also have the rock vibes). There are a vocalist, a bassist, 2 guitarists (but one of them also plays piano) and a drummer. from this mv, The vocalist's name is Lee hongki, the drummer is Choi minhwan, the bassist is Lee Jaejin, he guitarist is Song seunghyun and the pianist is the leader Choi Jonghoon. Hongki is currently in the military. Hongki is an actor since small and he even acted in musicals. And Hongki also has his own clothing brand named 'Skullhong'. He also made books about nails as he loves to do his nails. Hongki also has his solo songs. He writes some of their songs. Jaejin is the bassist and also second vocalist and the rapper. He also acted in musicals, dramas and also in variety shows. he also writes some of their songs. Jaejin has also been enlisted into the military. Minhwan is the drummer and currently a dad ( you can watch Mr. House Husband season 2) and is expecting twin daughters soon. he is also a musical actor. and he is the youngest in the group (same age with seunghyun) and going to be enlisted into the military this year. Seunghyun is the guitarist. he is the main rapper. he also acted in dramas and a musical actors. currently seunghyun has left FTISLAND bcs he wants to get serious in becoming an actor. He is the youngest (same age as Minhwan) yet he is the tallest in the group. Seunghyun actually became a member of FTISLAND after Oh wonbin left FTISLAND. I think he is also going to be enlisted this year. Jonghoon was our charismatic leader. he loves to workout. He plays the guitar, piano and keyboard. He acted in web dramas.He writes some of their songs. Jonghoon has retired from being a celebrity after he got into the Jung Joonyoung sex crime case. And i think he is currently in jail.
You should see him sing this live.. Hongki's voice is incredible! I also teared up when I first heard this. Basically the same reaction as yours. Now I'm hooked to hongki. My day isn't complete without listening to him..
Ikr? His voice is my fav. I hold him up there as my fav male vocalist in the world. The power behind his husky voice is beautiful. His voice does something to me that no other does. There is Kpop and there is Kband.
Thank you for your reaction! I love your shooked face. Welcome to the world of K-band (K-rock) For your information: 1thek is a promotional channel/ company, FTISLAND is under FNC Entertainment (so is CNblue, AOA, N.Flying, SF9, Honeyst). And FNC has 1thek to help them put out their MV's with subtitles.
Band name: FT ISLAND Genre: Whatever the feel like Band members: Lee Hongki, Lee Jaejin, Choi Minhwan Former members: Song Seung Hyun, Choi Jonghoon, Oh Wonbin Label: FNC Entertainment Fun Facts: Hongki wrote this song. He wrote this song in a way that only be could sing it. Thus making the notes hard to hit for other singers. All of their music up until their 5th Album was controlled by their label. They fought their company for creative control over their music and thus created their 5th and 6th albums.
FT ( Five Treasures ) Island. The lead singer is : Lee Hong Ki . Yes he is one of the singers in the song “Still love you”. The other singer is : Yoo Hwe Seung of the band ( NFlying ). I think Hwe Seung is a prodigy of Lee Hong Ki.
So, names, okay (ranked in age) Vocalist: Lee Hongki Leader, guitarist, pianist: Choi Jonghoon Bassist, sub vocalist: Lee Jaejin Guitarist, rapper, sub vocalist (was originally CNBLUE member but became FT Island member before CNBLUE debuted and after Wonbin left): Song Seunghyun Drummer (with damn vocals but barely sings): Choi Minwhan ________(not on age because IDK who's older or younger RIP)_________ Former member (left FT Island) (was guitarist and [Seunghyun took his place]): Oh Wonbin Edit: Jonghoon is in jail for r*pe, Seunghyun left to follow his dream of becoming an actor
Lol this is the moment you realized K rock existed! They may have been manufactured by the Kpop industry but they're a legit band. The boys have been writing their own music for years. I know this video is 2+ years old now, but have you heard Jaejin (the bassist) from FT Island sing as well? He has the purest most angelic voice ever. It's a nice compliment to Hong Ki's incredible, insane, dramatic husky tenor. I think this rock group has two of the best vocalists ever. edited to add: the others do have pretty charming voices, they sometimes get some smaller lines or background vocals, but are primarily the band. obviously it's kpop culture, so sometimes you'll find members starring in variety shows, dramas, etc.
Love the reaction! The priceless expression on your face - this is what makes reaction videos worth watching! 😁 FTISLAND is an amazing, multitalented band... their fellow labelmates N.Flying are also amazing - please check them out! They have a great sense of humor as well as much talent. (The other singer in "Still Love You" is one of the main vocals in N.Flying.) Lastly, I love your eye make-up! ☺
Yesss it’s the guy from still love you ❤️ they deserve more !!! I heard them first time in 2009 and still after 10 years I have goosebumps ❤️ and now amazing sentiment ofc
Welcome to the wonder that is Lee HongKi! His vocals are sooooooooo amazing. FTIsland is an actual rock band who have been around since 2007. Three of the members actually have incredible vocals. You need to react to more of there stuff. Also react to ONEUS and ONEWE - they are brother groups, Like FTIlsand, ONEWE are a band whereas ONEUS is a group, but they both have amazing vocalists. Worth checking out. Also if you love Hongki’s voice, he has also released solo songs.
You should listen to the encore of ftisland I hope concert to see just how they engage the audience in what they do...let us not forget the killer vocals
You should totally go to their LIVE. He sounds exactly the same. Ive seen them twice now. I cried when they came out when I went to see them the second time. It was surreal! LOVE them their literally the only band I stan. hahha. This love runs deep yall!
Names: Hongki - vocalist Seunghyun - guitarist and rapper Jonghoon - leader and guitarist Jaejin - bassist and vocalist Minhwan - drummer Jonghoon and Minhwan both sing as well, and Minhwan’s just released his first album! Seunghyun also sings, and you can hear Jaejin and him on songs like Morning Coffee, Flower Road, Sayonara, Love Love Love, I Hope, and many others!
They all sing. You will just need to go listen to them a lot to find out how good they are.😁 The difference between a group and a band are the latter play their own instruments all the time. 1theK is an official music site, not an entertainment company. Unlike random sites, the views and likes are counted towards music awards.
I know this is an old post but they are so good and yes it’s a band not a group, they have come back as only 3 but I do love their new song unthinkable for their new album lock up. Also try listening to the Japanese version too.
I love Hong Gi's voice. FTisland is rock band. Do you know Park Hyo Shin?? Korean people called him God's voice. Please reaction Park Hyo Shin Wild Flower MV. He was singing on the beach and took one shot.
Thanks for taking my request. FTIsland isn't a Kpop group. "Kpop" is simply short for "Korean Pop" as in Pop music. If anything, FTIsland is "KRock" since they are a Rock band. I'm not sure how you and your friend feel about Rock music but if you like it and want to see more from them then I HIGHLY recommend "Shadows". FTIsland has a lot of great songs but I believe their best one is "Shadows": ruclips.net/video/WHcGnzqUzFU/видео.html It's a heavy Rock song but if you are down for it then you need to do a reaction video for it. :-)
Surprisingly, Korean music includes genres other than pop! "Kpop" is a term fashioned for mainstream 'pop culture' artists in Korea that tend to follow a certain 'formula.' In America people just call all Korean music "Kpop" but that is just so incorrect. In Korea, only boy bands and girl groups of a specific entertainment culture are called "kpop." There are rock singers, ballad singers, rnb, hip hop, etcetc.
Welcome to FTIsland, baby!)) Once you fall for them - you`ll never be able to get up. They are really different of course)) They are k-rock, not k-pop (they had some pop songs, but it wasn`t their genre, and now they are happilly performing what they always wanted to - rock). Actually Hongki is not the only one who sings, but he is the main, that`s right. They`ve been around for 10 years now, so that sure makes them veterants, and they are know for their attitude too - drinking on stage or before it, revealing each other`s secrets on TV, skipping practice, always being open about their relationships (actually Minhwan, the drummer, is engaged, the wedding is in October, and he`s already a happy father, can you imagine something like that for ordinary idol?), well...basically they`re being rock - they`re insane and that`s what we like them for (aside songs).They were the first singers of FNC entertainment, so they had to struggle everything that pioneers struggle with, not to mention that rock is not a popular genre in Korea, so unfortunatelly they got much less attentions, than they deserve. Actually FTIsland is on top of my fav groups/bands and I think will stay there. Vocals are insane, instumentals are insane, this people generally are insane - they surely deserve your attention.
And answering to the question in the thumbnail - no one. Since FTISLAND were FNC`s first band, he never received any training and figured everything out by himself. Even more - HE is the coach now)) Watch Produce 48 if you want more detailes - he will be a vocal coach for 96 girls, who are fighting to debut in elimination show (omg, just what example will he give to these girls - i can`t wait to see)
This is real “reaction” many people just focus at music video “NOT” their vocal. I like people looking for vocal, not dancing, not (only) music video, they chlotes, not they look. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thats right FTISLAND they are the first band to debut that is playing instruments in korean industry wayback 2007.😊 Thanks so much for this..Waiting for more reactions😁 PS. You should chech out their live perf tho😍
It's obviously a k rock band! They're under FNC entertainment. As in western rock bands, they have one official vocalist but there's jae jin as a "sub vocalist" ( he fought for the main vocalist position along with hong ki who sang a veeeeery difficult song that made jae jin accept him and refrain) . Songhyun also can sing (like opera sing)!
Ft island is a MUST when you are a kpop fan! Yes they are 10-11 year old and they are legends, they are one of those groups that made korean culture this big (dramas, osts...)❤ but their genre is not kpop actually it is rock! thanks i love your reaction! 👍
Hi there. I’m a bit sad, that you didn’t indulge a bit more in what FTISLAND has to offer… If you are still interested in amazing vocals and something quite different, I recommend a journey through the works of Forestella… An amazingly talented vocal quartet… You could start with their version of Bohemian Rhapsody 🥰
so the guy with the light brown hair is the main vocal, hongki. the piano-man is jonghoon, the guy that is 'into it' is jaejin (he is crazy af but really funny) the drums-guy is minwhan und the guitarist is seunghyun. Hongki is the main vocal, but Jaejin and seunghyun (and jonghoon I think) also sing very well, but less often.
Thank you for reacting to FT Island! I'd also recomment Hyukoh - Tomboy. They are an Indie band and the lead singer also has great vocals. Something else along those lines would be the Group Nell. Their songs are all great.
Wind is one of my favorite Kpop songs, no lie (even though it's technically Krock, but tomato tomahto). If you're shook by the members playing instruments, I'd totally recommend checking out some Day6, too. I'd suggest Letting Go or I Wait to start out with.
If you like good vocals, you need to react to Wheesung and park hyo shin, those two are kings, any songs of them are really good, but park hyo shin has a song that he sings on live in the MV (wild flower), and my favorite song of wheesung is "even thought of marriage". You are really going to enjoy it
well, they're not really k-pop they're more k-rock and you should check them out more, they got once a thingy saying that they were the most playful idols that exist or something (I don't remember it fully anymore) and they said there was a chance
Yes he's the main vocal even the others can sing as well but they more likely to play the instruments and Hong Ki is the one who sings in their group..and yes he has a very unique voice like husky kind of voice with an incredible high ranges
You can react to their live performance. get ready and be amazed at lee hongki vocal & stamina. He can sing and running at the same time. You can watch their performance at KCON - Falling Star ruclips.net/video/5CrmqExk2Ao/видео.html Don't be surprised because ALL OF FTISLAND member can sing and have a good vocal !!! :)

FTIsland is not K-pop group and they don't consider them selfs as idols( Hongkis , The main singers own words in a interview). They are a rock band (K-Rock). I think Hongkis voice is one of top 3 in Korea. His emotional and raspy voice hit deep in ones soul. Thank you for reacting to FTIsland. They sure deserve more recognition.

If only rock and kpop bands counted
Thank you

Hongki is definitely not top 3 but is really good. You may not have listened to that many singers but he ranks 50-100 for me
Cool reaction! Yes, ftisland’s vocalist, Hongki is recognized as one of the best. His live performances are even better, as crazy as that sounds! For starters, ftisland is a rock band that debuted in 2007, comprising of Jonghoon(Leader, lead guitarist and keyboard), Hongki(vocalist), Jaejin (bassist, sub vocal), Seunghyun (guitar,sub vocal,rap) and Minhwan(drummer). If you dig rock, have a listen to “Pray” and “Take Me Now” and you’ll see how they aren’t joking around. For the best band experience, I would suggest you look up their live concert perf. The normal performances on broadcast stations such as music bank etc force bands to handsync as they aren’t equipped enough (not that the bands are not good enough. It’s a system that favors dance groups what can we do). Also, in Still Love You, the other guy (hweeseung) singing is also in a band called Nflying. Ftisland and nflying are both under FNC Entertainment which is famous for housing bands. They currently have ftisland, cnblue, nflying and honeyst. Outside of their company, there are many bands as well like Day6, drug restaurant etc...
Outside of music, ftisland is a crazy but fun group. They are really variety gold and even have a 19+ variety show called “Coming Out Ftisland”. They are definitely not your standard fluffy idols LOL. Hope you’ll get to know them and kbands more in general 😊

I reread that did you forget to mention Seunghyun in charge of rap, another vocalist and song writer... guitarist Joined in 2009?
Hong Star is also a skilled nail arts expertise and won a fashionista award.
FT ISLAND is the first band (idol) in the industry, the first band that actually have succeeded, sadly in Korea prefers the dance groups, but in Japan they're really famous, and actually all the members sing pretty good, but HongKi is the lead vocalist, and one of the best in the industry.

Please react to "Shadows" and "Take me now". You will not regret))

I saw Wind live 3 days ago... I can die in peace now! I still can't believe it! It was so so so beautiful especially the first part where Hongki played the guitar and let us fans sing Wind together. After that he sang the whole song again and the ending part was again sung together with us fans. I cried, my heart couldn't take it. I wan't to see the magain so bad!
"Not that many k pop ballads".....oh honey
My thoughts exactly
I don't know, but this is making me so proud of my boys FT Island! 😍😍 They need more recognition with their talents. SoKor don't give much attention on korean bands as much as they do with idol groups.
Both ftisland and wind are totally underrated, the latter being the most passionate tracks they ever released. Thank you for appreciating these treasures!
Please react to FTisland - take me now and pray
One of the best veteran vocalist in the industry
Just recently became a huge fan of this group and reading others comments helps me out with who is all in the band and what they do. I also really loved this reaction to this song. It was by far my favorite out of the other reaction videos I have seen. You have such a sweet personality and I love that you are exploring different music and giving others a chance to witness what amazing talent FTISLAND has and others in their category. Keep up with the amazing work girl you made me a subscriber. Love you ❤️
OMG they are so amazing I definitely want to listen to more from them, but just don't know where to start! shoot me a list of songs that you ilke from them!
GET KOOKED They have a great variety of good songs. I listen to them every time I’m driving in to work and on my way home. The songs that I really enjoy from them is Pray, Shadow, Take Me Now, What You Want, Travel, Out of Love. The list goes on and on. They have such a great style of music. They have some slow songs like Wind and some crazy good songs like Pray.
FT Island is one of FNC Ent.'s artists & FNC has some bands which each has good vocal & instruments skill. You can check on other FNC's bands. They are really good musicians cause they writte, compose and/or produce their songs even they did new arrangement for their songs. And FNC's artists are good in live performance, their live performances are better than the studio version😊
I'm sorry that I'm late but here I am as a HUGE Primadonna (FTISLAND's fan), I'm here to introduce you my boys. They're a band which actually more into rock (and that is why in their ballads also have the rock vibes). There are a vocalist, a bassist, 2 guitarists (but one of them also plays piano) and a drummer. from this mv, The vocalist's name is Lee hongki, the drummer is Choi minhwan, the bassist is Lee Jaejin, he guitarist is Song seunghyun and the pianist is the leader Choi Jonghoon.
Hongki is currently in the military. Hongki is an actor since small and he even acted in musicals. And Hongki also has his own clothing brand named 'Skullhong'. He also made books about nails as he loves to do his nails. Hongki also has his solo songs. He writes some of their songs.
Jaejin is the bassist and also second vocalist and the rapper. He also acted in musicals, dramas and also in variety shows. he also writes some of their songs. Jaejin has also been enlisted into the military.
Minhwan is the drummer and currently a dad ( you can watch Mr. House Husband season 2) and is expecting twin daughters soon. he is also a musical actor. and he is the youngest in the group (same age with seunghyun) and going to be enlisted into the military this year.
Seunghyun is the guitarist. he is the main rapper. he also acted in dramas and a musical actors. currently seunghyun has left FTISLAND bcs he wants to get serious in becoming an actor. He is the youngest (same age as Minhwan) yet he is the tallest in the group. Seunghyun actually became a member of FTISLAND after Oh wonbin left FTISLAND. I think he is also going to be enlisted this year.
Jonghoon was our charismatic leader. he loves to workout. He plays the guitar, piano and keyboard. He acted in web dramas.He writes some of their songs. Jonghoon has retired from being a celebrity after he got into the Jung Joonyoung sex crime case. And i think he is currently in jail.
You should see him sing this live.. Hongki's voice is incredible! I also teared up when I first heard this. Basically the same reaction as yours. Now I'm hooked to hongki. My day isn't complete without listening to him..
They probably don't seem like a regular kpop group since you know, they're not a kpop group... Check out more from the world of k-rock bands!
Ikr? His voice is my fav. I hold him up there as my fav male vocalist in the world. The power behind his husky voice is beautiful. His voice does something to me that no other does. There is Kpop and there is Kband.
Thank you for your reaction! I love your shooked face. Welcome to the world of K-band (K-rock)
For your information:

They fought their company for creative control over their music and thus created their 5th and 6th albums.
This is a rock band, and the vocalist is named Lee Hong Ki, and he is an actor
Lee Hong Gi the Best, ❤❤
FT ( Five Treasures ) Island. The lead singer is : Lee Hong Ki . Yes he is one of the singers in the song “Still love you”. The other singer is : Yoo Hwe Seung of the band ( NFlying ). I think Hwe Seung is a prodigy of Lee Hong Ki.
yes it the same person who sang still love u...please watch FT Island more! Listen to them and make reaction! I cant wait u been blessed just like me!
FT Island tiene la mejor voz del K Pop el gran Lee Hong Ki !! Su aporte musical es fabuloso!! Me encantan!!

Who is the leader now? Or they decided not to appoint one?
@@ms.chuisin7727 as far as I know they don't have a leader
@@orvynn Seunghyun wasn't with them anymore and they're now 3 members only right?
@@ms.chuisin7727 yeah, Seunghyun left to follow his dream of becoming an actor
FT Island now exists out of Hongki, Jaejin and Minhwan
Love reaction.. Yes Hongki is the vocalist and YES they are Rock band and I too LOVE this group!!! I'm a BAND group fan..
Lol this is the moment you realized K rock existed! They may have been manufactured by the Kpop industry but they're a legit band. The boys have been writing their own music for years. I know this video is 2+ years old now, but have you heard Jaejin (the bassist) from FT Island sing as well? He has the purest most angelic voice ever. It's a nice compliment to Hong Ki's incredible, insane, dramatic husky tenor. I think this rock group has two of the best vocalists ever.
edited to add: the others do have pretty charming voices, they sometimes get some smaller lines or background vocals, but are primarily the band. obviously it's kpop culture, so sometimes you'll find members starring in variety shows, dramas, etc.
I was distracted by your cat silently looking at the window ~~ Cuteeeeee!!!
FT ISLAND-Take me now,Pray..
DAY6-I wait,I love you,I smile,I loved you,How can i say.
I saw them in live during their European tour... and Hongki’s voice is a pure benediction. I cry so hard during this song. I love him so much.💕
Love the reaction! The priceless expression on your face - this is what makes reaction videos worth watching! 😁 FTISLAND is an amazing, multitalented band... their fellow labelmates N.Flying are also amazing - please check them out! They have a great sense of humor as well as much talent. (The other singer in "Still Love You" is one of the main vocals in N.Flying.)
Lastly, I love your eye make-up! ☺
FT Island is different from other kpop bands, They are all good especially my Hongki
Yes he's the guy from "Still Love You" he's the FT ISLAND vocalist and yes he's known as one of greatest korean singer. Thanks for your reaction
Yesss it’s the guy from still love you ❤️ they deserve more !!! I heard them first time in 2009 and still after 10 years I have goosebumps ❤️ and now amazing sentiment ofc
Welcome to the wonder that is Lee HongKi! His vocals are sooooooooo amazing. FTIsland is an actual rock band who have been around since 2007. Three of the members actually have incredible vocals. You need to react to more of there stuff. Also react to ONEUS and ONEWE - they are brother groups, Like FTIlsand, ONEWE are a band whereas ONEUS is a group, but they both have amazing vocalists. Worth checking out. Also if you love Hongki’s voice, he has also released solo songs.
I'm ridiculously addicted to Lee Hong Ki's voice. If you're looking for something new to review (in 2022) check out "Dear Love" on Sketchbook on KBS.
I've been a fan since i first heard them around 2009
You should listen to the encore of ftisland I hope concert to see just how they engage the audience in what they do...let us not forget the killer vocals
Never mind,when i hear Hongki's voice, in mv or live,i have goosebumps.
EVERY SINGLE TIME!
You should totally go to their LIVE. He sounds exactly the same. Ive seen them twice now. I cried when they came out when I went to see them the second time. It was surreal! LOVE them their literally the only band I stan. hahha. This love runs deep yall!
FT ISLAND IS BAND 😊
I love FTISLAND band both of them work hard for every song they perform esp.Lee Hongki,is wonderful voice as ever...happy 10 yr. anniversary
It's a rock band not kpop. They do play their own instruments. There is other genres in Korea. They just don't get as much publicity.
Names:
Hongki - vocalist
Seunghyun - guitarist and rapper
Jonghoon - leader and guitarist
Jaejin - bassist and vocalist
Minhwan - drummer
Jonghoon and Minhwan both sing as well, and Minhwan’s just released his first album! Seunghyun also sings, and you can hear Jaejin and him on songs like Morning Coffee, Flower Road, Sayonara, Love Love Love, I Hope, and many others!
this song is one of my favorite song of ft island,, i love ft island so much..
They all sing. You will just need to go listen to them a lot to find out how good they are.😁 The difference between a group and a band are the latter play their own instruments all the time.
1theK is an official music site, not an entertainment company. Unlike random sites, the views and likes are counted towards music awards.
I know this is an old post but they are so good and yes it’s a band not a group, they have come back as only 3 but I do love their new song unthinkable for their new album lock up. Also try listening to the Japanese version too.
I love Hong Gi's voice. FTisland is rock band.
Do you know Park Hyo Shin?? Korean people called him God's voice. Please reaction Park Hyo Shin Wild Flower MV. He was singing on the beach and took one shot.
Thanks for taking my request. FTIsland isn't a Kpop group. "Kpop" is simply short for "Korean Pop" as in Pop music. If anything, FTIsland is "KRock" since they are a Rock band. I'm not sure how you and your friend feel about Rock music but if you like it and want to see more from them then I HIGHLY recommend "Shadows". FTIsland has a lot of great songs but I believe their best one is "Shadows": ruclips.net/video/WHcGnzqUzFU/видео.html
It's a heavy Rock song but if you are down for it then you need to do a reaction video for it. :-)
Oh that’s awesome! I don’t know about many Krock groups. But it totally makes sense now from listening to the song
Check their LIVE performance!!!
Surprisingly, Korean music includes genres other than pop! "Kpop" is a term fashioned for mainstream 'pop culture' artists in Korea that tend to follow a certain 'formula.' In America people just call all Korean music "Kpop" but that is just so incorrect. In Korea, only boy bands and girl groups of a specific entertainment culture are called "kpop." There are rock singers, ballad singers, rnb, hip hop, etcetc.
Welcome to FTIsland, baby!)) Once you fall for them - you`ll never be able to get up. They are really different of course)) They are k-rock, not k-pop (they had some pop songs, but it wasn`t their genre, and now they are happilly performing what they always wanted to - rock). Actually Hongki is not the only one who sings, but he is the main, that`s right. They`ve been around for 10 years now, so that sure makes them veterants, and they are know for their attitude too - drinking on stage or before it, revealing each other`s secrets on TV, skipping practice, always being open about their relationships (actually Minhwan, the drummer, is engaged, the wedding is in October, and he`s already a happy father, can you imagine something like that for ordinary idol?), well...basically they`re being rock - they`re insane and that`s what we like them for (aside songs).They were the first singers of FNC entertainment, so they had to struggle everything that pioneers struggle with, not to mention that rock is not a popular genre in Korea, so unfortunatelly they got much less attentions, than they deserve. Actually FTIsland is on top of my fav groups/bands and I think will stay there. Vocals are insane, instumentals are insane, this people generally are insane - they surely deserve your attention.
And answering to the question in the thumbnail - no one. Since FTISLAND were FNC`s first band, he never received any training and figured everything out by himself. Even more - HE is the coach now)) Watch Produce 48 if you want more detailes - he will be a vocal coach for 96 girls, who are fighting to debut in elimination show (omg, just what example will he give to these girls - i can`t wait to see)
trust me or not but their sound even better in live version 💛
This is real “reaction” many people just focus at music video “NOT” their vocal. I like people looking for vocal, not dancing, not (only) music video, they chlotes, not they look. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
hongki oppa voice always touches the soul...😍
First time I heard this song I cried.
Thats right FTISLAND they are the first band to debut that is playing instruments in korean industry wayback 2007.😊
Thanks so much for this..Waiting for more reactions😁
PS. You should chech out their live perf tho😍
FT Island ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Loved the review. Tip tho. FT is best at LIVES! Concerts and live performances are best way to watch FT 😍
can you also react to their "take me now". it's a completely different style.
Pleaseeeeee more FTISLAND!!!!! They have released some new album, all songs are beautiful, you'll love them.❤
It's obviously a k rock band! They're under FNC entertainment. As in western rock bands, they have one official vocalist but there's jae jin as a "sub vocalist" ( he fought for the main vocalist position along with hong ki who sang a veeeeery difficult song that made jae jin accept him and refrain) . Songhyun also can sing (like opera sing)!
me too.... I'm also living for this ♡☆♡
You should hear Lee Hongki sing live.
I will definitely look up a live
Please react the live performance of this like the concert, please react more F.T. Island MV and the Live. 🙏
Ft island is a MUST when you are a kpop fan! Yes they are 10-11 year old and they are legends, they are one of those groups that made korean culture this big (dramas, osts...)❤ but their genre is not kpop actually it is rock! thanks i love your reaction! 👍
Hi there. I’m a bit sad, that you didn’t indulge a bit more in what FTISLAND has to offer… If you are still interested in amazing vocals and something quite different, I recommend a journey through the works of Forestella… An amazingly talented vocal quartet… You could start with their version of Bohemian Rhapsody 🥰
Ft Idland the best 💛💛💛💛
so the guy with the light brown hair is the main vocal, hongki. the piano-man is jonghoon, the guy that is 'into it' is jaejin (he is crazy af but really funny) the drums-guy is minwhan und the guitarist is seunghyun. Hongki is the main vocal, but Jaejin and seunghyun (and jonghoon I think) also sing very well, but less often.
Phantasmen_ even minhwan (drummer) sings really well
Thank you for reacting to FT Island! I'd also recomment Hyukoh - Tomboy. They are an Indie band and the lead singer also has great vocals. Something else along those lines would be the Group Nell. Their songs are all great.
I love love love Hongki's voice. It is so under rated in Korea.
And he hits all those high notes with his chest voice and not in falsetto..
Cn blue is also a old kpop band playing instruments. Really recommend them.
Also a group called the Rose.
A group called The Rose also does this type of music as well as playing instruments.
Wind is one of my favorite Kpop songs, no lie (even though it's technically Krock, but tomato tomahto). If you're shook by the members playing instruments, I'd totally recommend checking out some Day6, too. I'd suggest Letting Go or I Wait to start out with.
I love the way you react✨
Please look up FT Islands live version of To The Light - it’s gorgeous!
Lee Hong Ki!!! Bravooo FT Island!!!
I recomend react to ftisland -take me now and pray
0:01 this is me when listening FT Island (and if I'm not doing that I'm crying so bad)
try to react the live version of FT Island's wind😁
that's sooo guuwtt😍
They're not kpop group but rock band. Hong ki voice is so gorgeous.
If you know exo they're sometime play instrument. Like bass, guitar, drum n other
cada vez que escucho la voz de hongki , me llega demasiado
Lee hongki - the sky in the west
If you like good vocals, you need to react to Wheesung and park hyo shin, those two are kings, any songs of them are really good, but park hyo shin has a song that he sings on live in the MV (wild flower), and my favorite song of wheesung is "even thought of marriage". You are really going to enjoy it
well, they're not really k-pop they're more k-rock and you should check them out more, they got once a thingy saying that they were the most playful idols that exist or something (I don't remember it fully anymore) and they said there was a chance
FT ISLAND is my favourite KPOP group😊
Yes he's the main vocal even the others can sing as well but they more likely to play the instruments and Hong Ki is the one who sings in their group..and yes he has a very unique voice like husky kind of voice with an incredible high ranges
My rock band babies 💙💙💙💙💙
He's the best vocalist in Korea , I love ftisland and also cnblue
Hongki-yaaah
baby, you're AMAZING
Listen to Baby by The Rose. It is another band and the lead singer has a really unique voice
He's the same guy from Still love you with Hweseung.. he's Lee Hong Ki, FTISLAND's main vocalist. 😂❤
You can react to their live performance. get ready and be amazed at lee hongki vocal & stamina. He can sing and running at the same time. You can watch their performance at KCON - Falling Star
ruclips.net/video/5CrmqExk2Ao/видео.html
Don't be surprised because ALL OF FTISLAND member can sing and have a good vocal !!! :)
