i had finally the chance to go to FT Island's first solo concert here in Malaysia. They were supposed to have a concert sometime back in 2008, but apparently was screwed by the organizing company, hence it got cancelled. They were also part of the 2011 Korean Music Wave concert, which btw I also managed to attend.
Admittedly, I only knew of FTI because of Hongki. Mainly from the drama you're beautiful which Hongki plays a cute drummer named Jeremy. Also from his association with other celebs like JGS, heechul, Simon d, Kyu and of coz their labelmate, CN Blue. And then there's the Immortal Songs show that Hongki was a part of..
After an amazing performance during KMW, both myself & Elly didn't want to miss a chance of seeing a full-fledge concert by FTI & we were not disappointed. The event was well-organized & started on time. FTI managed to handle the crowd, even with their limited English, without using any help from an MC or interpreter. Hats off to them for being able to communicate well, even if they did stumble at a point. Haha.
Within that 2hour, They managed to serve a whopping 23 powerful songs, with barely a break in between. and when I said powerful, Hongki's voice is totally awesome. Plus he is such an energetic performer & totally at ease on stage. And he actually had a cold and yet he still sounds better live than from the album itself. Now that is what i call true talent.
Surprisingly most of the primadonnas was malay. Totally wasnt expecting that. Even saw some fanboys too, although i was expecting a lil more, given that FTI are more band than an idol group. And the crowd was pretty well behave i'd have to say. Compared to the rowdy Elfs, and loud spoken VIPs we saw at KMW, Pris are a welcome sight.
All in all, it was totally worth our time & money. First time i've ever witness someone who can sings better than their own album. Daebak!!
